Rev. MIR. Woollcy has been trying &c
grasp; IT is the game that he went
on to Washington to play.
How far Mr.. Woolley has been
successful Is all pure surmise so far
as the cablegram of Frank Thomp-
eon is concerned.
What we do know Is that the pro-
hibition agitator in Washington is
a paid agitator, and he is being paid
by people In the Territory of Ha-
wall. That these peeplesdo not rep
resent the sentiment OF the majority
or of fair-sized minority of our
citizens has been demonstrated more
than once by definite and clear-cut
expressions.
The presence In Washington of
Mr.. Woolley Is constant menace TO
the Territorial status of these Is
lands. II he carries his cause, the
end of home rule for Hawaii is in
sight--not alone home rule so far as
counties and parties and politics are
concerned. but home rule as regards
policies affecting the plantations and
other enterprises from part of the
profits of which Mr.. Woolley is now
being sustained in Washington.
The Bulletin believes that
the Delegate understands the situa-
ton very well and will lose no OPP
portunity to promote the interests
and answer the demands of the
people.

OF Honolulu indulge in sometimes to
such an extent that they are credit

The people of the Territory of Ha-
wall are bitterly opposed to Govern
ment by Commission. They are uni
tedly for Home Rule.
Members OF Congress who have
visited the Islands know this very
well. and II their comment and prom.
Uses may be depended upon, they
fully agree with the local sentiment
One of the complications of the
situation is the fact that some OF
our citizens who have political and
personal axes to grind have endeav-
ored to make threats take the place
of argument. and necessarily harped
on the Commission plan. Thus have
they kept the idea before Congress
and certain people of the mainland
who know little of Hawaii and care
less-until they are In n state OF

Everybody knows the President Is

he hasn't suggested 1t since he be-

eral municipalities on tile mainland
has many features to commend IT,,
and the fact that in such municipali-
ties the commissioners are elected by
the direct vote Of the people elimi-
mates any objection that the COM
mission is not representative body.
The form of commission that pre-
sumably would be provided for these
Islands. however. would not be rep
resentative in any sense OF the word.
The commissioners would be APP
pointed by the President, the great
mass OF the citizens and taxpayers
here would not be consulted in the
selection, and the whole system
would be contrary to the fundamen-
tai principles bf our government,
un-American In the extreme, and
adapted only to a people OF low

Mr.. Judd Is somewhat OF an alarmist
in stating his belief that a military
commission may be provided for the
Island of Oahu. Whatever. may be
the probability OF a civil commits
sion being established. 1t can not
logically be contended that any con-
ditions exist or can reasonably be
anticipated that would warrant the
establishment OF military rule here.
Alexander Home Ford--Govern-
ment by Federal commission is the
first step toward dictatorship. First
the Territories would be governed by
commission; then the States. This
would be a splendid thing for j. p.
Morgan. for the money power would
then control absolutely. Government
by Commission is but step toward
making another Mexico of these
United States. In Mexico, President
Diez appoints nominees for govern
orships and they must be elected.
Humboldt, 100 years ago. predicted
that America would eventually annex
Mexico and then crumble to pieces,
as she would not be able to absorb

to unrestricted immigration. Is be-
coming more Slavo-Latin than Anglo
Saxon. The Latin races will submit
to dictator.

SHOULD BE PROHIBITED.

Recently THE OASIS has been giving some little attention to the need for control and regulation of the colossal private corporations controlling the mining operations of Arizona; and in the course of the discussion there have been ad- vanced number of strong reasons why the power and scrutiny of the proposed corporation commission should be extended to cover the operations of such companies. And, as intimated heretofore, the articles presented have not ex- hausted the subject by any means. And it is the intention of this article to present the matter from another point of view.
 Public policy is the main reason advanced why there should be any regulation and control of corpora tions whatever. Not only upon grounds of public policy are that regulation and control exercised; i;
The oasis., 1910-12-31

should include a small exemption to heads of families.
 The article providing for the regulation of corporations and cre- ation of a corporation commission to have control of public service corporations and some classes of private corporations is too drastic and severe in some particulars, and goes not sufficiently far in other.directions. Upon one side it sounds the death knell to develop ment oflnew mines by investment of moneyssin corporations built upon prospects, and upon another it relieves from all regulation and control the great companies which have swaxed strong aud powerful from small beginnings under the liberal corporation laws of the ter ritOry. Were this objectionable provision labeled rightly it would be entitled "To Prevent Develop ment of New Mines in Arizona" 
 The foregoing provisions consti ute some of the objectionable points THE OASIS finds in the pro- posed constitution. The majority of the items mentioned are not in- cluded in the good points claimed by the proponents of the instru- ment, as presented in the first ex- cerpt included in this article. Some of those are objectionable in them selves, others while not objection able per SC will not prove so useful as their advocates claim. Like the recall the initiative can be worked both ways. Corporations and labor unions can invoke the prin- ciple and effect it's operation in opposition to the rights and inter- ests of the people at large.
 But all these points will be elaborated in other numbers of THE OASIS.
The oasis., 1910-12-31
THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION.

Upon the people of Arizona there devolves at this present time one of the most solemn duties that ever falls to the lot Of any people in their collective and sovereign capa- city-the adoption or rejection of a fundamental law for government of their state. That great and responsible duty is one which comes to the people of any state not more than once in any genera tiOn, and in many states several generations have come and gone without that duty devolving upon any one of them. The original constitution of Wisconsin, framed, adopted and proclaimed in 1848, is yet in force, and has been subjected to but little amendment. Under that fundamental law its people have marched always in the fore front of progress. The constitution of California, adopted in 1850, was replaced by another in 1879, which now, thirty-one years later, is still in force, but has been subjected to considerable amendment.
 In the light reflected from the foregoing observations it is, or should be, apparent that the great work of passing upon constitu- ton is one that should be under taken by the electorate with all seriousness and with a determina- tion to be guided by reason and the principles of justice in deter mining it's rejection or adoption. That course can be pursued only by close scrutiny of the instru- ment itself, a careful analysis of it's provisions and deliberate weigh ing of it's probable effects upon the welfare of the state and the ad- vancement of its prosperity. That is what is proposed by THE OASIS in this and other articles which will follow until the issue of adop. ton or rejection is determined at the polls on the ninth of February.
 In consideration of the instru.
