FATAL DEFECT IN
 THE CONSTITUTION

To our mind the fatal defect in the constitution is the recall that includes the recall of the judges of our courts as well as all other cleo tive officers This can mean no good to the dignity or independ- ence of the courts of the new state. Under it's operation the judges may be continually harassed by those who may be dissatisfied with court action in enforcement of Jaw for the protection of the rights of in- dividuals or property.
 Had this provision been elimi- mated, in accordance with the ad- vice and pleas of many of the ablest men in the convention, backed by the suggestion of Sena- tor Bailey, that staunch friend of Arizona, who is in a position to know more of the impending state- hood dangers than anyone in Ari zona, the constitution would have met the hearty support of the people of the territory and prompt approval in Washington
 But the majority were determined to have their way regardless of the fate of our statehood hopes, and upon th,s majority must rest the responsibility for the future result. ,-Donglas International (Dem

NO ROOM ABOVE
 FOR THE KNOCKER

St. Peter sits by the hea venly ,te, his hands on the strings of a Tyre. and he sings a low song as h. patiently waits for the souls of those who expire.
 He hears in the distance the chorus of song, that swells from the foot of the throne, and he smiles as the music is waited along. and warbles lay of his own.
 "There is room in this region for millions of souls, who by sorrow and woe are bereft' 'tis for those who have suffered the melody rolls but the knocker must turn to the left.
 "There is room here for people who when they were young per sisted in sowing wild oats, yet who boomed up their cities with sinew and tongues, but the knocker must go to the goats.
 There is room for the people who pointed with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept singing it's praises aloud till they died, but the knocker will please amble down.
 "They say that the music was all out of tune, and the angelic robes hand me downs,' and they'd send for a ieweller off to the moon, to sample the gold of their crowns
 Nov. while there is room for millions of souls wha by sorrow and woe are bereft, we want no complaint of the music hat rolls, SO the kicker must turn to the left"
 Thus sang true poet in words that should burn. like hot iron deep in the soul of the knocker who kicks, and who kicks. and who kicks, from the equater clear up to the pole.
 They intrude their foul presence upon every live town, and chill every boom-What pltvl We've live lot of pushers with hardly clown, and mighty few dudes in our city. Nit.

CORDIAL RELATIONS
 FUTHER CEMENTED

The sheepmen who have been in conference with the forest supervi sors for the last two days finished their business yesterday afternoon and began to scatter in various direction. but mostly toward the north. Hugh Campbell. president of the Arizona Wool Growers asso . citation, in speaking of the meeting said last night:
 "Of all the meetings of wool growers held with the forest off cials during the last ten years there has never been one that has re suited 90 satisfactorily to all parties interested. The relationship of the grazers on the reserves with the government officials is much closer thar it has ever been before Al though this meeting was for the readjnstment of forest allotments, there were numerous matters dis cussed. That sheep are an actual benefit to the range has been estab- lished by the experience of previous years ai.d the reserve officials have met the sheepmen more than half way in their efforts to adjust what have heretofore been serious differ. ences.
 There were about thirty seven members of the wool growers asso citation in attendance, that number being 60 per cent of the wool grow CTS of the territory. The success of the meeting was largely due to E H Crabb, deputy forest super visor of the Tusayan forest reserve and Willard A Drake, acting for est supervisor of the Coconino for est
 "The range conditions were never better that this year, both in the forests of the north and in the Salt river valley and intervening ranges although the prices are not as good as they weree two years ago"
 MT. Drake will leave this morn ing for his home in Flagstaff and MT Campbell for Seligman.-Re- publican.

A Change of Opinion

Some years ago noted warrior of the Pottawuttomie tribe present. ed himself to the Indian agent at Chicago. as one of the chief men of his village, observing. with the customary simplicity of the Indian, that he was very good man, and a good American, and concluding with 8 request for a dram of whisky. The agent replied that it was not his practice to give whisky to good men; that good men never asked for whisky. and never drank it when it was offered to them, that it was bad Indians only who de
 manded whisky. "Then," replied the Indian, "Me damned rascal"

EACH and every returning Ari- zona visitor at the national capital brings back home the same story the constitution as it now stands will never be approved by Presi. dent Taft. Not once has there come a report favorable to that document. Would it not be wise for the voters of this territory to heed the warning in time?

WHY are the radicals and the "to b. with Taft" crowd afraid tc send a responsible committee to Washington and investigate the facts regarding the report giver wide circulation by Gov Sloan and other distinguished Arizonans who were there and know what we may expect if the constitution is sent to ; the. president as it now standsf Think about this matter before you cast your vote.

'' "Are deposits in postal savings banks subject to taxation?" is s question that is being put to the Postmaster General by several of the postmasters of the cities where such banks are located While the law expressly exempts from taxation in any form whatsoever the 24 per cent bonds issued by the government for postal savings cer. tificates, it says nothing at all about the taxation of postal de.
 posits. The department therefore, is inclined to believe that such de- posits are subject to local taxation, the same as any other personality where the state law taxes deposits placed in state or national banks.

Look Out for Them
The Phoenix Republican say

The Phoenix Republican says;
 Territorial Secretary George U. Young receives frequent letters from citizens who have been made the victims of form of graft that there seems no protection against except the carefulness of the citizens themselves.
 "The are approached by insur- ance agents not licensed to do busi- ness in Arizuna. having failed to comply with the territorial laws
 "The territorial secretary says hat there seems to be no law for punishing an unlicensed company for accepting the business, but there is law for the punishment of the agent who solicits the busi ness if he can he caught at if or the fact can be proved In any eve. :, if such one can be cornered, th. territorial secretary will underia k.. to make things warm for him unril the matter is tested
 "The protection of the citizen lies in accepting no insurance un- less it be from some one of the no companies licensed to da business in Arizona.

 IT is pitiful to note the amount of ink and argument wasted in newspapers both in and out of Arizona, based upon the idea tha, congress has something to do with the constitution before Taft can consider it It ought to be need less to repeat that the document goes to the president first, and that if he rejects it, congress will never see it Yet, how many voters in Arizona will go to the polls cheer fully oblivious of this important fact.-Bisbee Review.

SENATOR BOURNE
 NOT OUR FRIEND

AL the tlme or the etaCenOOQ ngnt in Congress, which resulted in the
 passage of the enabling actin the closing days of the last session
 there was on deck in both houses of congress 8 group of 80 called statesmen who banded themselves
 together for the purpose of defeat ing statehood for the territories. They were known around Wash ington as statehood assassins." |" and rather rejoiced in the cogno
 men. Chief among them was Jona- than Bourne, United States senator from Oregon. Although daily in the senate his voice was not once lifted in behalf of state
 hood. It was rumored around the senate that he would vote against the bill on lts passage, and Senator Aldrich and Senator Crane, the leading opponents of statehood in that body, knew that they could count on Bourne to aid them if there was chance of defeating the bill or burying it in conference. So notorious was the opposition of the Oregon senator to statehood. go freely did his friends quote him as believing Arizona and New Mexico unfit for statehood that President Taft was finally appealed to use his good offices with Bourne to stay his fight against the bill and vote for it on it's final passage. Finally the Chief Executive from whom Bourne at the lime vas seeking many favors of patronage, obtained from him the promise that he would not line up against the bill.
 When the BourEe speech on the Oregon system of government was given free circulation by the thous- ands in Arizona last summer. many people in this territory wondered where they money came from to give this document such general circulation. The printing bill alone was a large one. To this>day no one knows whether Senator Aldrich or Senator Bourne or some other enemy of statehood footsd the bills In the light of these facts those who know them can only laugh at the letter of the Oregon senator, who ever since he took his seat in the senate has been the errand boy of Aldrich, proclaim ing to the people of Arizona his earnest desire that the people shall not modify their constitution to meet the Presidents objections Bourne knows that he has h't upon the surest method of keeping Ari zona out of the Union in urging the ratification by the people of a con stitution which the President will tell him he intends to disapprove
 We shall not be surprised to hear that the chief of the gang of state hood assassins at Washington the senator who is a radical at home and reactionary abroad-has al ready received the thanks of the boss of the senate and the Wall Street interests with which he is 50 thick au the success of his efforts in misleading the people of Arizona and diverting them from the only road to statehood That is just what Jonathan Bourne has been told to do Thus the plot against statehood goes merrily on.-Tucson Citizen.

WHILE it is an admitted fact the constitution will he ratified at the polls on Feb g. it will not re- ceive the lsree majority that ia being claimed for it. Many of the voters of the territory are more anxious for statehood than they are to get the recall.

IF you will read the enabling act you will see plainly that President 7Tait=is the. only one that will have the say about Arizona statehood. ,.H rejected by the president, then it is goodbye to statehood for the next decade
