TO MAKE LIME BY
co NvICT LABOR.
Committee Considers Proposition
Without Finally De-
Gliding It.

Manufacture and sale of agricultural
lime by convict labor was the subject
Of hearing last night before the
, House Committee on Finance. This
proposition. it was stated, has been
given successful trials in Illinois and
other States, and a bill has been intro
duced by number of members to make
1T fact in this State.
The proposal Is to purchase or lease
limestone quarry and put convicts to
work upon it. The lime produced is
to be sold to the farmers of the State
at price Slightly above actual cost.
Thus. 1t is argued. lime can be pur-
chased cheaply.
But the lime manufacturers objected
and they made strenuous arguments
against the proposition last night.
Ihey said that the bill was impracti-
cable and its operation would prove an
actual loss to the Taxpayers of the
State. AS matter of fact it was ar
gued. the lime made in this manner
would cost the farmer moro than he
could buy 1t for from the manufacture
rcrs.
However, it was not the length oil
the proposed step, but its significance,
that they claimed to object to the most.
That State, it was said, is best governed
which is least governed. This was
special legislation, and II started 1t
would be but a step until the State
would be making fertilizer and cloth-
Ing and other products.
The discussion speedily got into tech
meal details of the use of lime. and the
war waged merrily until a late hour,
both sides being a good deal in earnest.
Mr.. Page, one Of the patrons Of tho
bill, urged it's approval. 1t carries an
appropriation OF $4,000. The hearing
was not concluded

There is a Kentucky story to the effect that a citizen of that state boasted throughout his life that he had been kicked out of a house by Henry Clay.
 Nothing would please the crooked and lying Arizona Gazette more than for The Republican to notice it ire quently We have no doubt that the presiding authority of the Gazette, "Pious Charley" Akers. would be will ing for us to show up his religious hypocrisy: willing for us to show up hi. crooked and putrid public and private character. in all its nauseating details, provided he could have the compensating satisfaction of bOasting that he was important enough for The Republican to discuss him and his publication. But there are more important things to discuss at pres ent The Republican does not pro pose to be diverted by the lies of the Gazette from the discussion of the one issue of this campaign, which is: Shall we have statehood?
 Later on. possibly, The Republican will in its own way. give Mir. Akers quite as much cause for future boast ing as Henry Clay gave the Kentucky man of the story.

Chamberlain and Geer.

It was to be expected that the local democratic papers would seize upon any information however inaccur- ate. to mislead the people of Maricopa county as to the kind of man Gov ernor Geer of oregon is-they wished to weaken the force of his statements to the people here as to the ridicul- ous and objectionable features of the oregon plan" They had no trouble of course. in enlisting Senator Cham berlain of Oregon in their purpose.
 Senator Chamberlain telegraphs that Governor Geer is a machine poli- tician."
 The fact is. Governor Geer is one of the cleanest men in Oregon; he is an ardent Roosevelt republican" and is most popular with the people. He has always fought the "machine"-the politicians prosecuted by Frank Heney for sundry crimes-a machine which has gone to the scrap pile. largely through the efforts of Geer. Heney and men of their stamp.
 Senator Chamberlain. of course does not admire Governor Geer. He recognizes in the governor a formida- ble rival Chamberlain himself, as every well informed person knows, is an ardent demagogue. He was elect ed to the United States senate under false pretenses He carried the pri- maries by urging that was strictly in dependent and partisan. and as soon as he was elected by a repub- lican legislature, he became once more rabid democrat. He was not So rabid however. that he was other than a willing tool at Washington for Aldrich-as Bourne was-in help ing to put through, on the separate votes, all of the schedules of the tariff bill to which the insurgent re- publicans objected. After placing these schedules in the bill, Chamber
 lain, like the demagogue that he is | voted against the tariff bill on the final vote, well knowing that it would pass without his vote.
Arizona republican., 1910-09-06

which there is a scramble. The inn portant county offices disposed of, the question arises in the convention, near the close of the proceedings, Who wants to go to the legislature?" Maricopa county. for example, has four members in the house, and one member in the council It is seldom, indeed that in either the republican or democratic conventions more than five candidates appear. As a rule, the difficulty is in getting five men to consent to run. It will be differ ent, of course, when we become a state. Anybody hitherto could be nominated for the legislature that wanted to go.
 The men elected don't hear from a dozen constituents. it is safe to say during the session They have to proceed according to their own lights
 The republicans propose a radical reform in the method of selecting candidates for the legislature-and for other officers. They propose the system of direct primaries. Under this system. men are placed before the people by petition or some other convenient method. and the people will-or can-go to the polls and nom mate the men of their choice. The nominations have been made, the candidates take their chances at the general election. No party machine intervenes in the selection of the can didates.
 Now then, if the advocates of direct
 legislation have one fraction of the interest in legislative affairs that they now imagine they have. what is to prevent them from seeing to it that the right men are nominated at the primaries and elected at the polls?
 As Governor Geer says. with some sarcasm, the advocates of direct leg islation will admit that they are hon. est, even if the rest of the population Is not to be trusted. What is to pre- vent these honest gentlemen from getting together. nominating the best of their number and electing them to the legislature?
 This, as the able Oregon states. man points out, is much better course than to vote for doctrines that WE WILL NOT GET and thereby LOSE STATEHOOD.
