OFFER EXORB|TANT
AND |MPRACT|CABLE
MANAGER LOCAL ELECTRIC COM.
PANY STATES OTHER SIDE
OF POWER QUESTION.

%. j. Forsy'the, manager of the En-
tterprise Electric Light company
states emphatically that no offer
of current has been made his COMP
any by anyone, that was reasonable
and practicable.
About two years ago the Joseph
company came Gt the local company
with proposition something Like this:
The local company to- build a line to
Joseph and buy current from the
Joseph company at cents per kilo-
watt, measured in Joseph, he con-
tract to rum three years and the JOS
eph compGny not being required to
furnish over 100 kilowatts at a time.
The terms of the proposition were
unreasonable, claims Mr.. Forsythe.
The cost of the line would have
been $4,000 and the buyer would have
he'd to stand all the line lost, cost
of transformers. etc.
Even if the terms had not made
the proposition out of the question,
Mr.. Norsythe claims THE whole pro
ject is impracticable- o feasible
scheme at all.
Furthermore, Mr.. Forsythe says,
1t Is unnecessary. His company has
all the power needed to light the
city and furnish their customers
with all the juice they want during
running hours of the plant.
The local company is planning about
$4,000 worth of improvements next
year, Mr.. Forsythe says, but no
day current will be given until in
the company's opinion there will be
profit in it's operation.
Mr.. Forsythe says the impression
that his company assumes am indie
pendent, public be ID, attitude is
wrong; that he and DIT are always
ready to meet THE patrons more than
half way on amy proposal of merit
and equity to both sides.

BAR TO PROGRESS.

The statements by MIR. Forsythe
Of the Electric Light company are
convincing on the podnt OF the Ne
puted offer OF current from am out
slide source. The patrons OF the
plant and the town generally are
glad to hear the company has, plenty
OF Juice" even without the i'm
provemeats that Mr.. Forsythe says
will be made next year.
This being the case, the demand
for day current will BIC the more
insistent and just, for no one want
ed to ask for what was beyond the
power OF the company to furnish.

It is reported that Col. Roose- welt may be present at the dedica- ton of the Roosevelt dam. It is to be hoped that the rest of Ari- zona will not be thrown in as a watershed to this dam, which the people of the north are beginning to feel ought to be spelled with an Tn" added. The northern people are willing to let all water run into it from this section, but feel that it is an imposition if they must send canteens down to the Salt River valley for what little water they may need.

The Lone Cedar, published at Kanab, Utah, is protesting vigor- ously against the proposed na- tional park, to include lands in the present national monument on the north side of the rim. The establishment of national park would exclude all stock from that large area. If the area on the south side of the rim takes in the land now included in the national forest, there will be little left of that section of country for stock. men.

A CONSTITUTION USELESS

The SubIoined article, from the Spectator, Portland, Ore, empha- sizes the truth of the statement that when a state has adopted the ] initiative and referendum" con- stitution is a piece of useless fur niture:
 More laws between thirty and forty-will be submitted to the vote of the people in November. The majority of these laws are bad; many of them have been drawn in the interest of individu- als, instead of the public; some are in conflict with the constitu- ton; and few would, or should pass the legislature if they were left to the calm judgment of the legislative branch of the state government.
 The voters of Oregon are most unhappily placed, not only toward those who seek and those who gain office. The people not only will not trust themselves to name delegates to choose men as candi- dates for the legislature, but will not trust to pass the laws the leg islators they themselves elect. The voters insist on naming their can didates and ele 1ting their officials, and passing their own laws. If by some means or other a law is passed that does not suit the vot- CTS, they invoke the referendum on it and kill it. May we not ex- pect to have the voters interpret the laws too1 The judicial branch of the government is in no way superior to the legislative; why, then, should not the voter, who supervises and revises the work of the latter, not supervise and re- wise the work of the former1 If a judge renders a decision that does not suit one or the other parties to the suit-and what omniscent judge does not2--why may not the voters invoke the referendum on the decision1 And when we have reached that point and we are hurrying toward it as fast as wool and hair -brained law tinkers can drive-why should we not dis pense with judges altogcther2 And will any advocate of the initiative and referendum tell us the use of a legislature that is allowed neith- CT to make nor repeal laws1
 The Spectator suggests that we abolish the legislature, judicial and executive branches of govern ment; there is nothing for them to do. The people have usurped their functions. When the people recover their sanity we may re- turn to government by constitu- ton; in the meantime, away to the attic with the constitution"
 Both legislatures and constitu- tions are useless under system of direct legislation. So far as the legislature is concerned, it is preeicely as Governor Sloan said in his admirable address the other day: ITO withdraw from the leg islature its responsibility is to make that body of no value in the machinery of government. And to have a constitution with system of direct legislation is to indulge in a farce. Phoenix Re- publican.

In asking the public to vote for Judge Doe and Charles C. Hutch inson to represent Coconino coun- ty in the constitutional convention the republicans are confident that their representatives will not be tied to any influence or interests other than that of Arizona.
The Coconino sun., 1910-08-26

The wall of woe from Oregon does not indicate that the Oregon ians are all so unanimously enam- cured of the initiative, referendum and recall. Arizona would soon be making a similar complaint, and with such provisions in the constitution, it would be difficult matter to repeal them. The ar guments in favor of their being placed in the constitution is, let the people rule. There is no country on earth where the people rule more thoroughly than in America. If bad or incompetent men are elected, it is the peoples fault. If there are not enough people sufficiently interested to get out and vote to down the bad can didates, how many are likely to get out and vote down bad law1 Three or four elections year may
 be good thing, but we doubt it.

It is exceedingly light, easy and pleasant work to run a newspaper. Very few instructions are needed. You first use good judgment and some money and get a plant. A pencil we'll sharpened is some times used in getting up what is variously called dope, copy, stuff or stories. You should write bright, spicy, interesting things, as did Mark Twain, Horace Cree ly, Shakespeare and a number of others we could mention. Many writers make great mistake in not doing so, and as a consequence, their publications do not become as popular as those of the men we have mentioned.
 You should first compose your self and think of a whole galaxy of brilliant ideas that have never been utilized or thought of before, then sit down and write them out care- fully in a neat, interesting, concise style, placing punctuations prop erly. Very interesting things are oftimes written in that manner. If you avoid things that irritate peo- pie and are careful to please every one, it will only be a short time, probably year or so, until you will notice an increase in your subscription list.
 Avoid pay days, since at times they become annoying and are very apt to destroy one's equanimity or equipose, resulting in articles that do not obtain that pleasant, bright, sunny outlook required to dispel and disarm criticism.
 We almost neglected to add that one should also secure paper the proper size and of good quality, before writing bright, spicy, inter- esting things, which no one can take exception to-this is of es- pecial importance. Do not neg lect the small things, such as the specific kind of perfumed paper with an individuality all its own. Many editors and writers neglect this and fail utterly.
 Since life is said to be more or less abbreviated and uncertain, to avoid any possible complications, you should publish a paper that everyone wants and is willing to pay for-with little forethought and care this can be done; then, print enough of them to get all the money you need--it's only mat ter of press work and paper.
 In fact, it is as simple as build ing piano. All you have to do is to get box the right size, paint and decorate it-then put in the works, and there you are

THE REpuBl|CAA PLATFORM

sembled, realizing the importance of the occasion which brings us together, and deeply feeling the responsibility devolving upon us at this time, deem 1t expedient to announce to the voters of Cocenino county a declaration of the prin- ciples upon which we propose to go before the people.
 We heartily endorse the wise, able and truly American states manship of one of the best presi- dents this country has ever pro- duced. His record of having car ried out more pledges to the American people than his prede- cessors have done in many years, has placed him in the front rank as man who stands for the right, and who believes in carrying out the promises he has made. Among these promises was Statehood for Arizona" which he strongly urged and strenuously advocated until he appended his signature to the Enabling Act; as a conse- quence, we are assured of the friendship of William H. Taft. We are pleased to commend to all fair minded people of the Ter ritory the able and economical ad- ministration of the affairs of the Territory. The administrations of the last decade have raised Ari- zona to a high standing among financial people, and have placed our credit as a responsible com monwealth near the top of the list.
 For these many years the repub- licans of Arizona have biennially nominated a candidate for con- gressional honors, only to have him buried beneath an avalanche of democratic majorities. In 1908, for the first time in fourteen years, we entered the race with small prospects of success. A gallant son of Coconifso was chosen to lead what was at that time con sidered the torlorn hope of wrestling the palm of victory from our political enemy. He proved to be equal to the task set before him, assumed the aggressive from the start; and after the political battle of 1908 had been fought and won, we saw the former demo- cratic majorities scattered to the four winds, and that the Hon. Ralph H. Cameron had been elect. ed to represent our people in the halls of the American congress.
 We are proud of his official rec ord at the capitol of the nation, he having accomplished more for Arizona and her people in the six teen months he was at Washing ton than had been done by his predecessors in sixteen years.
 He has redeemed all pledges made to his people, and has re- turned with the prize of statehood for Arizona, that prize for which Arizonans have prayed, fought and hoped for many decades.
 We are met to perform a most important duty-to nominate two candidates for delegates to the territorial constitutional conven- ton the men who, if elected. will assist in preparing a fundamental law upon which the superstructure of our future state is to be erected.
 The importance of selecting good and honorable men for these positions cannot be over estimated.
