 FOR THE BOOSTERS

Arizona .s destined to become one of the garden spots of the coun try" said Charles w. hellogi repre- sentative of large eastern house. V ho was in the city yesterday. MT nellogg is on his way to the Pacific coast.
 The great irrigation projects now in contemplation will bring the ter ritory to the fore" declared he. and | have no ooubt that the vast deserts will be recialmed. There is some thing about Arizona that makes one nke it snd it is certainly the land TOT the young man-with or without money.
 Any person who studies 0ondi- tions can easiiy see that the terri tory has untold advantages to offer nssn of ambition and that millions of dollars worth of treasure await the worker. The development Of Ari zona has but begun and fortunes are here for those who get in on the ground floor. All that the people out
 here need to do is to turn their backs upon the political fads and fan cies, which seem to be driving the voters of the old oommonwealths crazy, and stick to their work of up- building the territory.
 Tt is material advancement that counts-not reforms and new-fangled ideas. ArizonaS people should de vote their entire time to making their land the most prosperous in the boundless Southwest. They should lend their aid to every move ment which will help the good cause and every person should feel that # is his duty to boost"

STATEHOOD WELL NIGH HOPELESS.

That the statehood situation could hardly have assumed a more serious aspect for the hopes of Arizona s manifested clearly by the interview which Governor Sloan gave out in Tucson on his return from Washing ton. He characterizes it as hopeless and he comes with a knowledge of conditions as tEey are at Washington which leaves his statement open to 70 question or doubt. The reputation of Governor Sloan, earned on the bench and as chief executive Of Ari- zona, is such that no one will ac- cuse him of any desire or intent to misrepresent opinion in the capital.
 Governor sloan says: T went to Washington wholly unprepared to find the sentiment so unfavorabie at

the whitehouse and among the mem bers of both branches of congress- republicans and democrats, with re- gard to the initiative and referen- dunn and recall features. I was also surprised to learn that the opposition to these provisions is so widespread in the East and South.
 Among lawyers the opinion is quite general that the initiative and referendum are unconstitutional as . departure from a republican form of
 government
 q repeat again that it is hopeless to expect that the constitution sub
 mitted to us for ratification will be approved either by the president or
 by congress"
 Governor Sloan has had interviews
 with President Taft and with many senators and representatives. As ex- ecutiye head of the territory of Ari-
 zona he would naturally be taken
 more freely into their confidence
 than would anoeher. He may be said
 to bring a message from Washington. I The statement of Governor Sloan is no surprise tc the thinking people of Arizona, the friends of statehood. These people sounded the warning 10 the delegates at Phoenix that the re- call feature should be left out, that so far as it applied to the judiciary it would be fatal An almost united press in clarion tones protested against the sacrifice of Arizona on the altar of socialism, the sale of her birthright for an ism. These warnings went unheeded. They are now repeated from the capitol.
 What will the people do! Cover nor Sloan advises the rejection of the fundamental law as framed at Phoenix.
 To those Arizonans who have la bored in and out of hours, ever urg- ig the claims, the rights of the terri tory to immediate and seperate ad- mission to statehood the interview of Governor Sloan brings sadness, sor- row and disappointment Time and again their their hopes have risen. only to be dashed to the earth. and now the cup is apparently snatchei from the thirsting lip when hope and expectation had been at the highest pitch.
 It is up to the people of Arizona. Is statehood to be sacrificed for a principle which is prac tically untried and unproven?
 This paper repeats the warning it sent to the delegates at Phoenix: The constitution as drafted will no. be accepted ty either Taft or coa. gress.
