A county seat fight of large proportions is trying to make its way into the affairs of con- gress, but with the congested condition of legislation there is no probability that the citi- zens of Douglas and Bisbee who are ambitious to remove the seat of Cochise county from Tombstone to one of the former cities will receive con- sideration at the present ses- sion. It has been pointed out by the people from Arizona that the romantic old town of Tombstone, which became the county seat i'll 1882, has suf- fered greatly from the shut ting down of its mines, and 1t is no longer in the front rank regarding population, as con- pared with the rivals for county seat honors. To those
 who understand the congress slonal situation, the futility, of attempting to secure action
 by congress, on a purely local
 matter so late in the session, IS obvious. There have been
 many visitors here from Ari- zona of late, and some of these gentlemen who are not directly interested in the con troversy have pointed out to your correspondent the fact that territorial statutes provide a method by which question
 of this kind may be submitted to the electorate. The atti- tude ot the committee on ter ritories in reference to legis- lation regarding matters that can be handled by the people or local authorities of the ter ritory, was distinctly shown Tn the report of the tax levy bill in which all matters that

7HE CORPORATIONS Ok through the subsidized

press have a new scheme to defeat statehood. The Tue son Star, one of the Kelly string of papers, suggests that all those in Arizona who would prefer statehood without the initiative, referendum and re- call, should sign a petition asking the president and con- gress to eliminate any objec- jectionable features from the constitution and pass a new enabling act providing for the admission of Arizona. When the canned constitution should be ratified by the people.
 The suggestion is conceived in minds disloyal to all except to the corporations in Arizona who want no statehood. Itis an apparent effort to divide the people so that a united front shall not be presented to the president and congress. It deserves the contempt of every true friend of Arizona, and 1t will unquestionably re- ceive 1t. The sentiments ex- pressed by certain of the stand pat opposition in the country calling on all the people to unite in favor of the constitu- tion IS in striking contrast to this Benedict Arnold sugges- tion of the Star. 2 Arizonans, backed by af 80 per cent majority for the con- stitution, will insist on state hood under that constitution without any amendment what soever and we have every con hdence that President Taft will not be so unfair to our people as to disapprove it.
 Governor Sloan continues to grossly insult Arizonans. His latest suggestion, to change the constitution some way at Washington, is the most unwarranted and un- called for piece of statesman ship we have seen in over thirty years residence in Ari- zona. It is in striking con- trast to the statements issued by the other leaders of the op- position, who now declare that all the people should give the constitution as adopted most patriotic support.
 At least So per cent of Ari- zonans have felt for sometime that the governors usefulness to the people of Arizona as their chief executive was at an end. Never a fit person for the position either by ability or temperament, his. inter views given out at Washing ton a few months ago, when he misrepresented the senti- ments of Arizonaus on the constitution, and later the brazen effort to coerce the people into voting against their constitution by insinua- tions that President Taft had told him he would welcome an opportunity to disapprove of the measure, have placed him so out of sympathy with the people of Arizona that his value as governor must be at o1 o-I ,.1ac :4 I fo 41

The fact that the United States gov
eminent is thus training scientists and
then losing them to the more lucrative
fields Of private business or to rich for
eign governments is not due primarily to
the salaries paid by the government for
its scientific experts. Heads Of the more
important bureaus from which these men
graduate state that while their salaries
have not gone up as fast as the value
of their work has developed. yet it would
be difficult to provide a salary that would
hold the majority, Of them when the
time comes that they want to go else
where.
In the last two years nearly fifty men
have left the geological survey to 60
into private business, to take up work
foreign governments. An estimate mace
by off1cials of the survey shows that the
average earnings of these men Is two
and one-half times the average salary
received when they left the survey.
Men will make remarkable sacrifices
to stay with the governments scientific
bureaus says a high official of one OF
the departments. "A matter of money
will not hold them. nor will it induce
them to go. There are men in our bu-
reau who could earn from four to five
times their present salaries outside.
Other men have left at only modest in
creases. With the scientist it Is usually
the case that he goes or stays where his
work promises to be most satisfactory In
the matter of scientific results"
