Do NOT cut off your nose to spite your face when the day comes to vote for statehood or some pet theory of your own. If you are a property owner, or are interested in mining, or anything else where your money is invested, remember that statehood will greatly benefit you. It takes capital to develop our mines, and the money cannot be had until assurances are given that every dollar invested in Ari- zona is amply secured by stable government. Capitalists do not invest their hard earned dollars where every "ism" under the sun is made part of the fundamental Jaw.
