Editorial Comment

not be necessary if there were no compulsion implied. Duties that are lived up to voluntarily and gladly never find their way into statutes. It must be admitted that the persons who have supplied money for the uses of mining organizations should receive periodical accountings, and it is only because such accountings have been rare enough to excite com ment that the state has stepped in to enforce a natural compliance with the practice. It is true that not all companies need law to establish a proper relationship with the stock holders, and those which recognize the obligation will not be found com plaining of the law which was meant for those that really need it.
 The real intent of the Nevada law is to protect those who are now in- vesting in mining stocks, for it will be remembered that the publicity provisions apply only to those com panies that have within six months been selling their stock for develop ment purposes. When a corporation is in a position to require financial assistance from the outside, then is the very time when it should be ex- pected to be the most frank, but it frequently happens that this is the period when eandor is the most rare. While it should not be made difficult for development companies to raise funds, we cling to the belief that corporation gives itself better standing with the public by approach ing the public frankly. It strength ems the confidence of stock buyers.
 We repeat what we have said be- fore now, that the state of Nevada conferred a great benefit upon itself when it enacted this law, for the tendency must be to place the in- vestment funds of the public in the hands of those operators who have set out to do the most serious work. It is the development of its resources that the state desires, and this is best secured by eliminating the com petition of those who regard develop ment as a mere incident to "promo- +ion AIipinr Paoord

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

It is with regret that we have to note the many signs of Democratic inharmony in the Territory. The Phoenix Democrat lambasts Chairman Dillon for subservieney to "corpora- tions," and the Daily Globe of the Gila metropolis jumps the Hon. Mark Smith, "all spraddled out" for the same reason. The Globe is astonish- ed that the Hon. Mark should have the temerity to aspire to the United States Senate, while he has the "cor- poration' brand all over him. The Globe is of the opinion that the Hon. George Washington Peter Hunt Is the statesman to whom the Democ- raey must turn for salvation. The Hon. George Washington Peter Hunt has served with distinction in sev- eral legislatures as a member from Gila, and is said to cherish an am bition to be the first governor of the State of Arizona-Phoenix Re publican.

HOW NEVADA BENEFITED.

Evidence continues to accumulate concerning the value of the Nevada publicity law. The numerous reports that nave been published indicate the kind of information that the law re- quires and the benefits that stock holders are permitted to derive there from. No doubt a great many hold CTS of Nevada mining stocks have been pleased to receive statements that perhaps would not otherwise have reached them.
 Nevertheless, we hear it is said that the troubles which the secretar- ies are put to in compiling these statements has given rise to an ex- pressed determination to seek the re- peal of the law at the next session of the Nevada legislature Doubtful as we may be of the seriousness of any such intention or the likelihood that the lawmakers will listen to such suggestion, it is still worth while offering opposition to it. The very fact that corporations find it an annoyance to make up reports for the benefit of stockholders is the dearest reason why the law should stay on the statute books and con- tipue in enforcement.

Seldom, if ever before, in the history of the Republican party in Arizona, has been such a strong rep resentation of the Territorial Exeeu- tive Committee as that which as- sembled yesterday in response to the call of the chairman, Hoval A. Smith. He had returned from the East only three days before he issued the call, but even with that short notice near ly every county was represented in person. A big bunch from the south ar rived Sunday on the midnight train, in company with Delegate Ralph Cam eron, and were met at the depot by a crowd of enthusiastic Republicans and taken in automobiles to the Hotel St. Michael. Yesterday morn ing J. Lorenzo Hubbell, one of the stalwarts of the party, came in from Apache county and O. D. M. Gaddis, battle-scarred veteran from Mohave joined his committee associates. There are only thirteen members of the Eeeutive Commitee-one for each eounty-and those who answered the roll call at the meeting, which was presided over by Chairman Hoval A. Smith, with George U.. Young sec retary, were J. L. Hubbell, Apache; R. A. Kirk, Coehise; M. Mccarthy, Gila; Col. A. T. Bird, Santa Cruz; o. D. M. Gaddis, Mohave; F. w.. Smith, Coeonino; Sims Ely, Mari copa, and John c. Forest, Yavapai. It was only a coincidence that Dele gate Cameron and his private seere- tary, B. W. Zaehau, arrived in Pres colt on the same day, and MT. Cam eron took no part in the deliberations of the committee, which covered over five hours.
 The first business of importance transacted was the presentation of the resignation of Hoval A. Smoth as chairman of the Territorial Cen tral Committee. He stated that his business interests at Globe and Sil- yer City, N. M, demanded his entire attention; that he felt that he had performed his duty to the party,

to a point that will not be inter- fered with when the snow flies this winter. He stated that there is a universal desire all over the south to have the north and south road opened as soon as possible, many being eager to come to the Grand Canyon, as well as visit the scenic attractions of Yavapai, now attract ing much attention.
 Concerning the maintenance of these highways, MT. Grand also stated that section gangs will be placed along them at designated points, to keep them at all times open to traffic.
 Construction of the Douglas branch is to be started immediately, and the purpose is to nave an oiled road way, owing to the condition of the soil.
 At other points in the south, the many communities appreciate the movement, and are eager for the consummation of the improved con- ditiOns.
 MT. Girand is pleased at the work on the Prescott end. Grading of the first four miles is completed and in a few days will be open to travel, as soon as the granite eapping is placed. The rains of the past few days have been beneficial and a good test for the new eulverts.
 Standard sign boards, as adopted and used by the National Automo- bile Association of the United States, are to be placed at different points along the Territorial high way.

 It was learned yesterday, from of ficial sources, that the bridge over the Verde river for the Territorial highway will be built at Aultman, and that bids for its construction will be advertised for at an early date. Territorial Engineer, J. B. Grand stated that the plans for the new structure are already drafted. The bridge will be 300 feet in length.
 Engineer Grand also said that work on the highway south from Flagstaff will be commenced at once and rushed as fast as possible. Three months will be allowed the contrae- tors for the construction of the bridge after the contract is awarded. It is the intention of the Board of Con- trol and Engineer Girand to connect Flagstaff and Prescott by the new highway as soon as possible.
 The north and south road from Prescott to Flagstaff will follow the Copper Canyon route to Camp Verde, passing through the latter place and thence up the Verde Val ley to the proposed bridge. From that point the road will pass down the valley and connect with the Up per Beaver Creek road, going close to Montezuma's Castle, Montezuam $ Well and then up Dry Beaver over the Mogollon plateaus to Flagstaff.
 MT. Grand will visit Flagstaff this week, and with a corps of en- gineers lay out the road to the Verde Valley immediately and begin the work, expecting to have it advanced

HANDS OFF IN STATE POLITICS.

President Tafts' emphatic deelara- tion that he does not intend to in tefere in any way in the making of state platforms Or the nomination of state candidates no doubt has a general application, but it is mani festly intended as a reply especially to those who are solicitous that the administration shall become involved in the politics of New York and Ohio. There are very good reasons why President Taft should desire a Republican platform and a Repub- 1ican ticket in his home state, which would not only be in harmony with his administration but strengthen ing to it, and there is every reason, too, why he should be desirous of that unity in the party without which success will be impossible in New York. But he very wisely sees that in neither case would it help matters to undertake to distate how the platforms shall be written, to take sides in the factional contests, or to exhibit paftiality toward candidates
 He puts it very sensibly when he says the President has a difficult enough job on his hands when he strives to fulfill he. pledges made in the national platform and to bring Congress into. cooperation with him, and his statement, referring to. Ohio, that 1900 delegates can be trusted to choose proper candidates, will be receIved with satisfaction by those workers in. all the states . who are seeking party success along the most promising lines. Practical polite ians in the Republican ranks will re- gard it is, "a display of godd judg- ment that the President, whom they are willing, to recognize as their lead CT, does not attempt to lead too much.
 However, as the intelligent leader need not to be informed, while President Taft may decline to speak for himself in these matters, there are several persons conspicuous in politics not only of Ohio and New York but of all the states, who will, to a considerable extent, be under stood as speaking for him, so that the administration will not be with out representation, nor, should oc- casion require, will be without in- fluence in the framing of platforms and the naming of tickets. But the President, personally and officially, will keep aloof from state politics, and this will be well.

 His counsel Attorney Ginsberg, said that from the first announcement of the bank of the defaleation, ne knew where Wider was. He charges bad faith on the part of the band. "I intended to have my client come for ward at the proper time and take his medicine, but he objects to be- ing locked up in the Tombs this hot weather. That is the only reason of his keeping away.
 Furthermore, Ginsberg said, em- phatically, "tnere was a gentleman s agreement that the losses would not be made public at this time"
 'The plan was to restore the bonds in full, but instead of carry ing out this agreement the police were called in. No one knew of the loss until my client confessed"
 It is known that the bonds are hypotheeated with brokers and the bank knows them, but their names are withheld. However, the list mas narrowed down to two well known houses.
 "We will institute suits to re- cover the bonds,'' said Markowski.
 The Russo-Chinese bank is credited with a capital stock of s15,40O,O00. + I. 4 4 + + + + + + + + + back to your people," said the Presi- dent, "and tell them that if they send me a safe and sane constitu tion for my signature, that I will be well repaid for my efforts"
 "I want to go gaek to Washing ton," concluded Mir. Cameron, "and tell the President that we have made good"
 This concluded the banquet and the assemblage then proceeded to the Hotel St. Michael, where the band was playing and where a large crowd was awaiting the arrival of the "Man Who Does Things" Hundreds gathered around Cameron for the op- portunity to shaks him by the hand and congratulate him for his great work in Congress. Calls for a speech became so insistent that he was finally forced to make an address, which was repeatedly interrupted by cheers. In concluding, he said: "You all know my record. If there is any thing you want just write to me and you will get an answer. am not here doing politics, but simply to find out the needs and desires of my constituents.

had been carved out of this county He had never seen a man so ener- getic, so loyal and who was always working and he was a man who could always command his friendship and his resources.
 George D. Young, secretary of the Territorial Committee, opened his re- marks by saying: "I am glad to be with you. I don't care whether you like me or not, but I like you. It takes an altitude of 5000 or 1000 feet to put the red eorpuseles into a man. The citizenship of Arizona does not need to doff its hat to that of any state. I never understood the recall until tonight, but will fight it because of the memory of Abe Lin coin. If the Republican party has been the leader of the nation because of its principles, why go to the SO- eialists or Democrats7" He agreed with Col. Bird as to an elastic con- stitution under which any law can be created that is desirable. He urged the Republicans to stand shoulder to shoulder and fight the isms. Cameron is still the standard bearer of the party. He has made good and every Republican should stand behind him for everything he wants.
 Responding for Yavapai, LeRoy Anderson stated that when Wash ington saw that the Republican party had taken charge of affairs in Ari- zona, the administration gave us Statehood. That responsibility must be carried, and the constitution should be an instrument embracing the fund amental principles for the guidance of the new state. Yavapai will send her best citizens to that convention men who are not tied up to any fac tion, any interest or any corpora tion, and a constitution will be framed that will meet the approval of the entire nation.
 A prolonged demonstration occurred when Delegate Cameron arose to speak. After expressing his appre- cation. and warm regard for the people of Yavapai county, he pre- dicted that the high intelligence of our citizenship would build a con- stitution that would be a credit to any state and that could not be crit ieized. Arizona owes a debt of gratitude to President Taft he said, for he was behind the bill from the beginning and it was his influence that caused Congress to pass it. The people had been impatient but the speaker at no time had ever doubted that the platform pledge would be fslflled. Before he left Washing ton he went to the President and asked what message he should carry back to the people of Arizona. "Go

the wisdom thereof has been the means of causing a mere handful of people to grow into a nation of over
 fifty million people. Some peopie are trying to inject new and untried doctrines into the fabric of govern. ment, and if they succeed, it will be dangerous. Describing the eondi- tions of the country during the Civil War, he stated that at one time there was so much dissatisfaction with the method of conducting the war, that had the recall been in vogue then, Abraham Lincoln would have been recalled; yet in the light of history it is now known that he was the one man commanded of God to carry the nation through that tremendous eri- sis. Governor Gates of Illinois and the governor of Indiana, for similar reasons would have been recalled, and the Confederaey would have tri- umphed. The speaker also showed how the scheme of a direct vote for Senators would be dangerous and place the West at the mercy of the East because of the latter's prepon- derance of population. In closing, he advised a simple constitution, one of such flexibility as would give the greatest liberty to our institutions; Good government is in the people more than in the constitution, for a free people can govern themselves without a constitution.
 At the conclusion of the able ad- dres vote of thanks was rendered Col. Bird for his nasterly and lucid presentation of the issues involved in the making of a constitution.
 Hoval A. Smith was greeted with enthusiastic applause when called up- on by the toastmaster. He confessed that he was not a politician and that his experience in politics had been limited to that of the last campaign. When the offer of the chairmanship was rendered to him he was in Cali fornia, and he secuted the idea of acceptance, but was urged by friends there to accept as a matter of patri- otism, and that it was the duty of the younger element to work for the party, even at a sacrifice, in view of the importance of securing State hood.
 As regards the constitution, he was convinced that the material progress of Arizona would be best benefited by applying the same fundamental principles that apply to national sf- fairs. Arizona should not be the op- erating table for experiments. After expressing qualification over the scenic and climatic advantages of Prescott, he congratulated Yavapai county upon having brought forth Ralph Cameron, as he considered him a Yavapai man because Coeonino
