Col. Pickett Insists Constitution
Will Remain as Adopted.


Col. H. L. Pickett, first avowed
candidate for United States SEN
ator from the state-to-be of Ari-
zona, is in the city from Tomb
stone for a two months rest, un-
less the senate should decide to
admit the territory before that
time.
At the Hollenbeck, Col. Pickett
expressed the opinion last night
that Arizona would be admitted
to statehood by the present ses-
sion of congress if the reaction
ary senators allow it to come to a
vote. He recently returned from
a trip to the national capital,
where he went to further the
cause of statehood, and he is con-
fident that majority of the SEN
ate favors statehood for Arizona
under the progressive constitu-
ton adopted.
''The efforts of the small reac-
tionary element In Arizona to
have 4he senate eliminate the re-
call of the judiciary will fail, ="
said Colonel Pickett, because
even if the senate struck it out,
the house would refuse to concur.
If the bill passes the senate, it
will receive the signature of Pres
ident Taft, even tn oug h the
standpatters say he will veto it.
''The constitution of Arizona
was ratified by an 80 per cent
vote. 1t is just such a constitu-
ton as the people want and they
will stand by it until they are ad-
mitted as a state.
''Arizonians know what they
want; they consider themselves
capable of making a constitution
without assistance from congress
or the president and it is with
this kind of a constitution that
they propose to come in as a state.
''The people are determined
not to be dictated to as to what
they shall put in their constitu-
ton, for they have to live under
it, and no one else. They believe
they have the right to have what
ever they want in it, provided
that it is republican in form and
not in violation. Arizonans be-
lieve in the people ruling and in
their progressive constitution as
it stands.
Il am delighted with The Tri-
bune because it advocates the
same policies of popular govern
ment we of Arizona are fighting
for. 1t should be a great power
for good throughout the entire
Southwest. "-Los Angels Tribune.

Railroad Regulation Substituted
For Competition.

For Competition.
1t can not be said that the de-
cision of the United States circuit
court in the Union-Southern Pa
cific merger suit introduces the
country to a new situation.
Rather it is a definite and author
itative recognition of a situation
that has grown up siletnly by le-
gal implication and interpreta-
ton, influenced by processes of
commercial evolution.
Without any very definite un-
derstanding of the position, con-
gress and the courts have come
to realize that the business of
transportation is in a class by it.
self. The half unconscious reali-
zation of this distinction appears
from the fact that congress has
enacted separate, conflicting and
in some respects contradictory
legislation to govern transporta-
ton as distinguished from other
forms of general trade and indus
try.
Legislation dealing with the
subject of monopoly may be said
to have begun with the Sherman
law against trusts some twenty
years ago, enacting severe and
unlimited prohibition of any and
all combinations in restraint of
trade. The purpose of the Sher-
man law was to make competition
the only legitimate and permissi-
BILE foundation for the national
economic system. By that law
any and all efforts or means to
break down competition was not
working in the transportation
business, and perhaps could not
be made to work, except in ways
that were positively injurious to
the interests of the whole public.
For example, the most severe
form of competition in transpor-
tation was applied by the grant
of secret rebates. 1t was with
the help of this variety of COM
petition that the Standard oil
trust was enabled to create it's
monopoly of the oil trade. In
recognition of these facts con-
gress made this form of compe-
tition a public offense, punishable
by fine or Imprisonment. This
was the first breach in the COM
petitive system.
Another form of competition in
transportation took the shape of
occasional rate wars. These were
not found to result in any import
ant advantage to the general
public. They were usually of
short duration. and their most
important effect was to unsettle
the course of business.
Recognition of these facts, per-
haps more or less vaguely in the
public mind, led to a wholly new
departure in the way of legisla-
ton, inspired by the fact that
competition was not effective in
transportation, and in the rare
instances where it was applied
had proved more or less injurious.
Laws were enacted and bureaus
created to regulate rates for
transportation, and competition
in at least one form was declared
to be criminal offense. In no
other business than that of the
railroads is the grant of rebates
declared to be a crime. 1t is a
common and legitimate form of
competition in most forms of bus
mess to allow discounts or con-
cessions to large purchasers.
The interstate commerce law
established regulation of rates by
the government as a substitute
for competition as the rule of
railroad business. Regulation
may be said, in fact, to exclude
cOmpetitiOn. and it makes for

No one can know or appreciate

the child is a part OF the parent
and when taken brings realization,
as never before, the fact that some
day the other part must pass
