American
Extravaganza" and
Russian Thrift"

word for high standard of living The exravagan person
or family is the which spends freely But unless they
nave 1t to SPEND people do not spend money. Even
nlng into debt is limited by the expectation of money
and not the roseate expectancy of the spendh but the
hard headed expectancy of the traesan and the credit
American extravaganza is merely another term for
American ability to buy, and that again is synonym for
American ability to The trusts and combines are
doing their best to grab all in sight, but American exrava
gance is an eloquent proof that the nation is still free
that the average retains enough of his product to make
OF him free spender.
If thrift be desired, the mourners extravaganza
should go to Russia. A Russian writer is quoted in the
Literary Digest stating that while Americans eat on the
average OF 95 pounds of grain year. the Russian
sumes only 66 pounds Which is another way Of saying
that eat three times the breadsuffs per capita that the
Russians doand they obliged to live very largely

I'VE consume rs pounds of sugar each; they only 1872
pounds-and some of the greatest beet sugar mills in
Europe in Russia. The mouik makes the sugar he
must not eat This industrial slavery carried to its ut
mate conclusion.
A man is more than machine; but he is machine in
the that he give energy unless he takes it
IN so we should not be surprised that the Russian work
earning only 800 year. gives out in work product
but $633 worth while the American aborer, earning
the average of 1926, turns out in product $2377.

Platform of Maricopa County Republican
 Convention

The opportunity for separate state struggled, has been given us by a republican congress. We recognize with gratitude the loyal and earnest support given statehood by President William H Taft, who since his visit to the territory last fall, has been our most powerful advocate, and the faithful, untiring and successful W ,rk of our delegate to congress, Hon Ralph H. Cameron, and of Governor Richard E. Sloan in securing state hood We heartily endorse both the national and territorial administra- tions.
 We believe in making a constitution which shall be a credit to the high judgment of the people of Arizona. Such a constitution should, we believe, follow closely those lines of simplicity and clearness of the national consti- tuition, and should illustrate that the people of Arizona have been inspired by the highest ideals. moral courage and great common sense of Theodore Roosevelt.
 In making such a constitution we recognize clearly that to secure stabil- ity and effectiveness. it's provisions should be confined to the structure of fundamental functions of government and should not endeavor to work out governmental details. which should properly be left to the legislature of the new state, and we, the republicans of Maricopa county, in convention as- sembled, hereby declare our unequivo- cal support to the following principles,
Arizona republican., 1910-09-05
That Absurd Political Rumor.

A few days ago Postmaster General Hitchcock, in an interview at Tucson, took occasion to deny an absurd re- port that he had designs upon one Of lous was the report that when MT. Hitchcock first entered the territory on his present visit he did not deem it worthy of attention, but when he found that the democrats were mak- ing campaign material of it to influ ence the voters against a sane co'.- stitution, such as MT. Hitchcock. as a true and proved friend of the terri tory, had advocated, he thought it worth while to show the absurdity of the report.
 MT. Hitchcock has been an annual visitor of the territory for seven years. He began coming before he had attained prominence in the politi- cal world, and when the chances of statehood and Arizona senators seemed very remote.
 His frequent visits to the territory have resulted in great liking by him for the people and a familiarity with the conditions and needs of Arizona. It was with his powerful aid that the statehood bill was finally passed. It may well be doubted-in fact. it is al most certain-that but for his friendly interest the statehood bill would have gone the gloomy way of all its prede- cessors.
 Mir. Hitchcock has no other wish now with respect to Arizona than that what has already been accomplished may be finally crowned with success.
 There is a disgraceful impropriety in the assault, even for political pur- poses, upon one whose friendship for Arizona has been so abundantly proved.
Arizona republican., 1910-09-05
Why Run the Risk7

Two years ago at this time the voters of Arizona were engaged in a statehood struggle. the first stage of which has been successfully passed.
 All republicans and many demo- crats. though the candidate of the lat ter was the strongest man of his party, voted for Ralph H. Cameron because they believed he could secure the passage of a statehood bill while the Hon Marcus A. Smith could not. The statehood bill was passed, but statehood is not complete.
 The statehood fight is as much of a fact now as it was two years ago. and it will be a fact until the con- gress and the president have ap- proved our constitution.
 We have reason to believe that only a sane constitution will be ap- proved. otherwise congress would not have reserved to itself the right to pass on the constitution. There may be differences of opinion as to what is a sane constitution; as to what ex- tent we may go in putting provisions into it before it is likely to be re- garded by congress as not sane.
Arizona republican., 1910-09-05

There is no difference of opinion regarding such a constitution as the republican platform of this county recommends. All democrats, all ad- vOcates of isms, everybody, agree that such a constitution would encounter no objection at Washington.
 Some of them profess to believe that they may go farther; that they may insert into the constitution provisions concerning which there is great difference of opinion, not only at home, but throughout the country concerning the sanity of which all are not agreed.
 We all know that a majority of the congressman and President Taft do not favor the initiative, referen- dunn and recall, and those who are concerned mainly in taking the last step toward admission fear that they regard it with so much disfavor that a constitution containing it would be rejected.
 We want to keep within the zone of known safety. The direct legisla- tion people prefer to skate on thin ice, trusting to chance that it will not break.
 They can only say that they be- lieve the initiative, referendum and recall will not be fatal to statehood. We know that the exclusion of it will assure statehool.
 Does it strike any voter as wise to substitute certainty of admission for a chance that we will be admitted even for a probability of admission? As we have previously pointed out, there is nothing to be gained by an insistence upon a direct legislation provision. once admitted, those who favor the initiative, referendum and recall can work for its adoption with as bright a prospect of success as they may have now. With the failure of the constitution, the hope of the direct legislationists would end.

Hear Governor Geer Tonight.


 The people of Phoenix are especially fortunate in that they will have an opportunity to hear the Hon. Theo- dore T Geer, former governor of oregon, on the issues that are inter esting the voters of Arizona this year. The meeting at which Governor Geer will speak will be at the city hall plaza at s o'clock.
 Governor Geer is famous the coun- try over as one of the sincere, clean leaders of public thought in Oregon. He is a Roosevelt republican of the pronounced type.
 He is a native son of Oregon and has been a farmer all his life. He was elected governor in 1899. and went directly from the farm to the governors chair, which he filled with great honor to himself and to his state for four years. In 1903 he was beaten in the convention for renomi- nation by the machine" and under all the circumstances his defeat was an honor to him. His popularity with the people of Oregon is evinced by the fact that in 1906 he was again a candidate for governor. and was beaten in the primaries by only ITO votes He is one of the most influ- ential men in the state today and is a genuine, not a fake, reformer.
 tiovernor Gear was one of the otig inal advocates of the oregon plan of direct legislation.
 Come out tonight and hear him tell how the Oregon plan" works in ac- tual practice.
 He is an exceptionally interesting and pleasing speaker.
