For a long time the management Of
The Republican has had under con-
temptation a plan for the Sunday de-
livery of the paper on the rural routes
of the Salt River valley, because Sun
day is the one day of the week on
which the rancher has time to read
and most wants his newspaper.
The rural mail carriers for Uncle
Sam not working on Sunday. it was
thought it might be practicable to
hire them to go over their routes on
Sunday for The Republican, and with
the idea of submitting a proposition
to them if the authorities would per-
nit, inquiry was made of the post
office department at Washington. II
was found that the regulations would
not permit of such an arrangement.
This made it necessary to consider
plans for delivery by regular employees
of the paper. 1t was reasoned that,
since it is especially desirable to have

BUSINESS WAITING ON CROPS.

II is fair to say that most business
is waiting on crop results. The United
States Steel Corporations pig iron
production is about IS per cent of its
capacity, while it is shipping better
proportion of manufactured products
than those figures would indicate. The
company has been shading prices 10
average 81 i ton or so, and TINS Is
particularly the case in wire, when
has hitherto made most encouraging
showing. The condition would proba
blv compare favorably with other lead
ing industries The coal business Is
very dull, with declining prices. The
dry goods trade is awaiting develop
ments. The copper business is not in
good condition, and probably in all the
worse shape that the leading copper
interests refuse to face facts. sound
economic way to develop a good con
sumptive demand is to put down the
price of the metal until producers are
compelled to restrict their output. a
good deal of the uncertainty in bust
ness at present existing arises from
the attempt to maintain prices in the
face of the falling demand. This APP
plies not merely to copper, but to a
number Of other lines. No doubt our
modern methods of production make
price regulation more possible than III
the DAYS OF unrestricted competition
but our industrial corporations are by
no means independent of the law OF
supply and demand.-Wall Street

A meeting of the lessees of school
lands will be held at the court house
today for the purpose of taking some
action to bring before' the constitu-
tional convention the matter of re-
imbursing holders of school lands for
their improvement when the lands are
sold, or for giving the holders prefer
ence rights in the sale of such lands.
1t was intended that this subject
should be covered in the statehood
bill. and an amendment relating to II
was agreed to, but was inadvertently
omitted The platform of the Mari
copa county republican convention
pledges the candidates for delegates
to the constitutional convention to
work for a clause in the constitution
providing for the complete reimburse
ment of school land lessees. The
democratic county platform is silent
on this subject, which was either ad-
visedly neglected or was forgotten
amid the furore of the demand for
the initiative, referendum and recall.
The Iessees will serve their interests
by voting for those candidates who
are pledged to the protection of. the
rights of the school land holders.

Sunday delivery, it is also desirable
to have early delivery on all of the
days of the week.
Accordingly. it was decided to in
augurate system of early delivery
on the rural routes for every day of
the week For this purpose auto
chased, and the new system of de-
livery began yesterday morning. 1t
covers all the routes of the Phoenix
postoffice. and will be continued per-
manently.
Under this new system The Repub-
lican will be delivered to all sub
scribers on these rural routes before
daylight every morning.
The rancher is thus enabled to read
his favorite paper while the good wife
is experimenting the preparation of
breakfast Before he starts upon his
days work he has read in The Re
publican. damp from the press. all
the news of the world within an hour
or two from the time that news was
clicked off the telegraph instruments
in The Republican editorial rooms.
The linotypes are still hot from cast
ing the metal into type giving the
news while the rancher is reading the
news. And the lady of the house,
looking over the advertisements. lights
like a hawk upon the days bargains,
and with full instruction is enabled
to start to town on her shopping.
AS soon as practicable, this superb
before daylight" service will be ex-
tended to the rural routes from Tempe
and Mesa.

The sTENOGRAPHER.

A sad faced sociologist says the girl
stenographer is standing rebuke to
the unchivalry of American men. Oh
go along she's an awakener of Chi
valry; a standing temptation to the
bachelor whose income is almost large
enough to divide; the cause of I'M
speakable regret to the fellow whose
poverty forces him to look facts and
the price of chops in the face; an ever
present inspiration when in the spring
a young mans fancy lightly turns from
thoughts of money grabbing. And
wonderful to relate, she is sometimes
a stenographer and can spell!-Louis-

The Game of the Corporation Bosses

The Game of the Corporation Bosses.
The great corporation bosses have
for years dominated the legislatures
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the people have
not taken enough interest in their
affairs to elect better men to the leg
islature.
1t has been the experience of all
territories that until statehood was
achieved it was difficult to get the
best men to go to the legislature, so
that domination by special interests
was easy.
The corporation bosses would be
exceedingly well satisfied to have
statehood defeated.
They would be more than satisfied
to have Arizona continue in territorial
vassalage for years to come.
The corporation bosses have fixed
up this constitution business so far
as democratic conventions were con-
cerned in all cases. and in some cases
as to republican conventions, so that
like the colored mans rabbit trap, il
will catch them a-going and aeon
ing
On the one hand, they will be
abundantly satisfied to have the con-
stitution so full of "isms" and SO
spotted with socialism that it will be
rejected by the president and the
congress of the United States.
On the other hand, they want to
have the constitution so fixed that if
perchance. it should be approved al
washington, it will place control OF
the state in the hands of the great
corporations which have consistently
fought all the efforts of genuine re-
formers to equalize the burdens OF
taxation.
They want to have the constitution
so fixed that 1t will be a farce-as a
constitution.
TLa,y ,,,ont 10 have tho constitution
so fixed that any of it's clauses which
purport to provide for an equality OF
taxation may be overturned at any
time by vote on a direct legisla-
ton" bill.
1t should be clearly understood that
no matter what safeguards the con-
stitution pretends to give to the tax
payer, these safeguards are swept
aside by any contradictory measure
that is passed under the Initiative
and referendum"-for under the con-
stitutional permission of the. "initia-
tive and referendum" every law that
is passed on a referendum becomes
per Sc constitutional.
Therefore. the great corporation
bosses have written the platforms for
every democratic convention. They
dictated the platform for the Arizona
democrats. and they boldly wrote the
platforms for the democrats in Yava-
pal, Pima and Cochise.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1910-08-24

best friend Arizona ever had. and they
shrek for the initiative and refer
endum" and recall"
What then, will be the result if
these 'isms" are written into the con-
stitution?
On the one hand. they. are reason
ably certain to lead to the rejection
of the constitution at Washington
which would please the corporation
bosses nightly.
On the other hand, should the con-
stitution be approved. control of the
state is grasped by. these same cor
poration bosses.
How?
BY the process OF the Initiative
and referendum" and the recall" Es-
pecially by the initiative and refer
endum"
The platform OF the 1Cochise county
democratic convention provides for the
initiative and referendum" on a mini
mum of per cent of the voters and
a maximum of Is per cent.
Suppose it is made Is per cent, and
that we have 10000 voters. which ex-
ceeds the present number.
Fifteen per cent of 10000. voters is
5000.
Does any taxpayer of Maricopa
county imagine for a moment that
there would be any difficulty in get
ting a petition with 5000 signatures in
two mining counties alone in favor
of law proposing to tighten the tax
alton of mines?
Maricopa county casts possibly 5000
votes. 1t never has cast that many.
Does any taxpayer of Maricopa
county have the slightest reason to
believe that there would be any diff
Guilty, by the use OF little money
judiciously placed, in carrying on a
referendum" a bill proposing to
tighten the burdens" of taxation for
the great mines?
What other county. with the pos
sible exception of Yuma, Apache ana
Graham, would take the slightest in
terest in protecting the agricultural
districts from having the burdens OF
taxation shifted back upon the agri-
cultural districts as it was before
Governor Kibbey made his valiant
fight for a redistribution Of the load
Maricopa county is in the minority
in the territory, and is destined to
remain SO. Go where you will in the
territory, you hear nothing kind said
of Maricops.
1t is the one county in the territory
whose taxpayers should set their faces
| like a flint against the Initiative and
referendum business.
And take note of the fellows in this
county who are bowling for the adop-
ton of these revolutionary, socialistic
doctrines which sweep away all the
safeguards of constitutional govern
| ment.
Isn't it a notorious fact that most
of them have been notorious as lobby
| lists at the capitol building for these
very corporation bosses who have
written the democratic platforms?
AS we pointed out the other day
the strictly professional politician:
who have fallen in with this program
of the corporation bosses are hoping
| that after the constitutional conven-
ton meets there will be an intima-
| ton from Washington that a social
istic constitution will not be accepted
| and that they will be enabled, with
| tears in their eyes, to go before the
people in the coming state campaign
and say, 1--WE wanted to give you
these reforms but we found that tc
! do so would lose you statehood
therefore we had to forbear."
But the great corporation bosses
| who rule the democratic party have
the trap set to catch the rabbits go
ing and coming"
