Constitution of the State of Okla
homa particularly and specifically
setting out the powers and duties
of the Commission so that the
meaning of the law can not be
misunderstood or misinterpreted;
and we particularly favor the
"fellow-servant" clause of the Okla
homa Constitution and also the
clause with reference to forcing
telephone. telegraph, express, rail-
road or car corporations to in
corporate under the laws of the
proposed State of Arizona before
they will be allowed to exercise the
right of eminent domain in the
State of Arizona.
We favor a clause in our Con-
stitution providing that any person
accused of violating or dissobeying,
when not IN the presence or hear
ing OF the Court, or Judge sitting
as such, any order of induction,
or restraint. made or rendered by
any Court or Judge of the new
State, shall, before penalty or
punishment is imposed, be entitled
to a trial by jury as to the guilt
or innocence of the accused, and
in no case shall a penalty or
punishment be imposed for con-
tempt, until an opportunity to
be heard is given; and we further
believe that no INDUCTION should
issue without the hearing of COM
plete testimony from all parties
in interest except in cases where
it is made perfectly clear that a
temporary restraining order is
absolutely necessary to prevent the
Immediate destruction or life and
property, and in these cases a
final hearing should be required
within ten days; and we favor
a provision in the Constitution
prohibiting the deportation of citi-
zens without the State except by
due process of law, and after hear
ing in Court with due notice, if
prayed for. ~
The dominant feature of the
Constitution must be that govern
nents are made for the protection
Of the citizen, and not the citizen
made for the benefit of the govern
ment; written in the light of ex-
perience of all the ages, taking
the best from all the constitutions
preceding ours, and bearing in
mind the fact that we must legis-
late "EQUAL RIG HTS TO ALL
AND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO
NONE,D and that the makers of
the Constitution must address them
selves to that task without part
isan bias, and they must formulate
a Constitution republica n in form,
liberal, fair and equita BILE; and
to which end, we invite the CO.
opera tion of all the people of
Santa Cruz County Irrespective =
of party affiliation; to all of which
above expressed principles we
pledge the candidate of this Con-
vention.

SANTA CRUZ equity
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.


We, the Democrats of the County
of Santa Cruz, Territory of Aiiz-
ona, in Convention assembled, do
hereby declare our loyalty and
fealty to the following principles:
We renew our allegiance to
the grand old Democratic party
of the Nation which has fought
the battles of the plain and com
mon people ever since the form
alton of the government of the
United States. We glorify the
name Of the immortal Thomas JEFF
ferson who founded the Democratic
party and took his stand always
on the principles of EQUAL
RIG HTS TO ALL AND SPECIAL
PRIVILEGES To NOME" and
who has had as much to do as
any other man with the adoption
of the great safeguard to human
liberties in the first amendments
to the Constitution of the United
States.
Possessing an abiding faith in
the fairness, honestly and general
intelligence of the plain people of
the United States, and of the pro-
posed State of Arizona; and be
lieving that all political power
springs and of right should spring
from the people, and having an
abiding faith in ability of the
people to govern themselves, we
pledge our candidate as nominee
of this Convention, to devote every
atom of his intelligence and ability
I4 II l.
the Initiative in the Constitution
of the new state: The initiative
because it preserves and reserves
to the people of the state the
power to legislate for themselves
directly, thereby protecting them
selves against corrupt legislature.
Believing that Legislatures some
times fail to carry out the will
of the people who elect the mem
bers thereof, we favor the Refer
endum which will give the people
an opportunity to pass on any
legislation that may seem inimical
to their interests.
Believing as we do that all
public officers should be directly
responsible to the people at large
anu nOt W pOllllCdl OOsSoS, anu
knowing that sometimes men are
elected to Office who fail or refuse
to carry out the expressed will of
the people, and realizing that it
is sometimes impossible to find
evidence enough to make con-
victions in criminal courts where
officials have been dishonest, we
favor the recall provision for all
state county and municipal officers.
We favor a direct primary law,
and a provision in our Constitu
tion insuring a popular expression
of choice for the election of United
States senators.
We favor clause in the Con-
stitution of the State in the form
of corrupt practices act as Il
safeguard against dishonesty in
elections, and a publicity of cam
paigu contributions before election.
We favor a provision OF the
Constitution to the effect that the
right of action to recover damages
Tor injuries resulting in death or
otherwise shall never be abrogated,
and the amount recoverable shall
not be subject to any statutory
regulation or limitation.
We favor a Corporation Com

What Direct Legislation Has Done in
Oregon.

The folio wing report of William
U'Ren to the Direct Legislation
League of the state of Oregon on what
direct legislation has accomplished in
that state. is of great interest to the
voters of Arizona who, by the support
of the democratic ticket at the polls
on September II. have opportunity to
make the same conditions possible here:
Answering your question. "What
have the people of Oregon accomplish
ed with the initiative and referendum"
1 set down the following facts:
L. They have made direct primary
nominating elections law that is much
more satisfactory in its results than
was the old convention plan.
2 They have adopted practical
methods of selecting their United
States senators, securing election by
the legislature of the candidates select
ed by the people. thereby aboli-hIng
the greatest single source of corrup-
tion. waste and confusion in the
legislature:
3 They have destroyed the political
machine and the job of the party
bosses.
q. They have abolished railroad
passes within the state for public
officers as we'll as for private indiv-
iduals.
5. They have deprived the grafters'
sale of franchises in Portland and
other cities.
6. They have deprived the leeisla-
ture of power to call a constitutional
convention without the peoples ap
proval on the referendum vote.
Z. They have given cities home
rule in charter making.
s. They have taught the egislature
to respect the constitutional provision
against putting special appropriation
in the general appropriation bill
9 They have added the recall to
the constitution, giving the power to
discharge state and local officers who
prove to be incompetent or untrust-
worthy.
10 They have passed laws rejected
by the legislature for taxing certain
corporations.
IL They have made stringent law
a aeainst the excessive use of money in
elections; law which is designed. SO
far as money is concerned, to put a
poor man on an equal footing with a
rich man in seeking public office. 1t
limits candidates to an expense hardly
exceeding one fourth of years sal
ary in the office sought and the state
bears large part of the outlay in the
of literature for parties
and candidates
II. They have made a start toward
and preserving salmon and
sturgeon in the Columbia river and it's
13. They are developing sense of
Individual responsibility for the sue
cess of self government in Oregon,
such as most men never felt when the
e egislature had the exclusive right TO
make laws and propose constitutional
mendments.
IA In addition to the above list
,f results other measures have been |
occurred and the people have rejected
eleven measures, some proposed oy
initiative and some proposed by the
esislature.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK MIXED
Says Dun's Review. With Little to En-
eourass Speculative Enterprise
at Present Time.

New York;. @. Dun's weekly re-
view says:
with crops aggregating large In
quantity and value. in spite of the re-
duced yield of spring wheat; with pol
itics becoming so intense and uncer-
tain as to make enterprise timid. and.
with railroads and shippers engaged
In a dispute over rates. the business
outlook is mixed. trade reaction being
plain in some important directions.
while at the same time there are
streaks OF progress and activity.
ut Is, as a whole. a waiting situa-
ton. with little to encourage specu-
lative enterprise until conditions. now
doubtful or unsettled. become more
clearly defined.
Interest in iron and steel has cen
tered chiefly In predictions Of an early
general reduction OF prices OF finished
steel products. which have been dis
cussed. and the effect has been dis
quieting. Notwithstanding denials from
wellinformed sources. Some conces-
sions have been granted from time to
time of late. but II has been officially
intimated that no change OF policy
will be undertaken by the large pro-
ducers. New business has diminished.
but, aside from railroad material. a
production continues IN finished lines.
"In the dry goods market the i'm
provement in silks and ribbons Is con-
tinued. and q few mills are running
full and overtime. In woolens and
worsteds the demand as a whole Is
better. yet orders are so small and
irregular that mills are unable TO re-
sumo operations in a large way.
"Cottons are generally in moderate
demand. and throughout the trade
there is a desire TO confine orders to
actual requirements.
Footwear conditions show a slight
Improvement, but the actual volume
OF trade continues moderate. The
amount OF new business. however. is
somewhat larger. There is a decided
improvement in the demand for sole
leather. with larger sales. especially
OF oak sole"

its banks 80 feet below the level Of

rain had fallen during the night and
the ordinarily dry bed was soon filled
to the brim with a Wild torrent The
bridge itself was quickly broken UP
and carried away.
Shortly after one o'clock In the

forward end Of the train took the
plunge into the water filed ravine.
The locomotive, tender and baggage
car disappeared entirely under the wa
ter. and the engineer. fireman. bag
gageman and conductor were all in
stantly killed.
The smoker. which stopped on the
brink Of the stream. was telescoped
by a chair car and many Of the pas
sengers killed outright Others were
thrown into the stream and drowned.
With the exception Of the last Pull
man the entire train left the track
and the cars and coaches were piled
In one big heap or rolled into the
ditch alongside the rails.
The uninjured passengers made
their way to the brink Of the stream
and rendered what assistance they
could, working by the light of the few
lanterns which could be found.
Other passengers as well as train
men walked to Clayton in the search
for help. From this place the news
was telegraphed to headquarters and
relief trains were started from Belle
vile and Phillipsburg. Citizens OF
Clayton in wagons drove hastily TO
the scene of the wreck and. aided by
bonfires which they lighted. worked
In the storm amid the debris in the
search for the dead and injured.
The little stream lost its water as
rapidly as II had found II. and soon
the ravine was practically dry. Down
stream for half a mile the dead and
injured were found and removed to
the improvised hospitals. Nine Of
these dead we're identified by letters
and otherwise. Seven are without
