How different things must ap-
pear now to the leading politicians
of the country, especially in our
Territory. Before the ratification
of the constitution they were howl
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt was opposed
to the initiative, referendum and

him a telegram misrepresenting the
sentiment of the people, to get an
answer from him to be used in the
campaign against the ratification of
the constitution.

out boldly and declares in favor of
the very provisions that are the

for better government when the

RECIPROCITY AT HOME

The suggestion made by A. g..
Smith, of Stafford, that reciprc city
is not bad thing and may be maIe
a good thing, whether between ma
tions or communities or individuals,
and that reciprocity between Globe
and the towns in the Gila valley,
would be particularly good thing
is we'll worth pondering over. Mr..
Smiths suggestion that the valley
be invited to send representatives
to go to Roosevelt as guests OF the
Globe contingent on the occasion of
the dedication of the big dam is
particularly good.
The valley is particularly the
place to which the Globe merchants
should look for trade and anything
that c&n be done to encourage a
community of interests between
Globe and the valley should be done.
The valley has much to sell that
Globe people must needs buy some
where butter, eggs, poultry, hay,
fruit, in fact produce of ell kinds,
and which they should buy and
would buy were the proper commun-
ity of interests spirit aroused.
1t is to.be regretted that judging
from remarks let fall by Mr.. Smith,
of Stafford, and by Mr.. Smith, of
Globe, in interviews with each,
which may be found on other pngcs
of this issue of the Silver Belt,
neither the valley alone nor in con-
junction with Globe will have an
exhibit at the Pacific Land and
Products Exposition at Los Angeles
next month. 1t would have been
splendid opportunity to advertise
the fertility from an agricultural
point of view, of the one and the
mineral richness of the other.
1t is true the invitation to exhibit
came late but it is also true that
very few communities wait for an
invitation to take advantage of op.
portunity for getting into the lime
light, such as the Los Angeles show
affords they usually clamor for an
opportunity to get in.
However, better luck next time;
in the meantime the suggestion
made by Mr.. Smith, of Stafford, that
a spirit of reciprocity be cultivated
should not be overlooked. Silver

UNJUST FREIGHT RATES

The present freight rates, which
were put in force January I'd by the
Southern Pacific Co. on its main and
branch lines, also by the Santa Fe
Railroad. in compliance with the
order issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, have not proved
satisfactory, and action has been
taken by the Arizona Railway Com
mission requesting that the same
proportionate rates be made on the
lines in the Southern part of the
Territory as were made to Phoenix.
The rates have been proven by
the Railway Commission to be un-
just and discriminatory, especially
on the Globe and Cochise divisions
of the Arizona Eastern Railroad,
and the commission now intends
that the rates must be readjusted
and the reductions ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
put into effect.
1t is evidently the intention of the
Arizona Railway Commission to Sc
cure a reduction Of freight rates on
all lines that will comply with the
order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and that the railroads
should not be allowed to add local
rates of branch lines to the rates up
TO main line junction points.
If the Railway Commissions re-
quest is complied with. the freight
rates on the Globe division of the
Arizona Eastern must be readjusted
and lowered in compliance with the
law. This change will be welcomed
by the people of the Gila Valley,
who have not benefited in any way
by the reduction granted in January
to Phoenix.

SENATOR LOR|MER IS
DEFENDED BY BAILEY
Powerful Speech Applauded by
Large Attendance Of Mem
bers and Spectators.
BOLD CHARGES ARE MADE
Texan Asserts That Forgery Has
Been Resorted to by Personal
Enemies.

WASHINGTON. Feb. I3.-Defense of
Senator Lorimer Of Illinois was offered by
Senator Bailey of Texas today in speech
so powerful that 1t was applauded by
what was perhaps the largest attendance
OF members and spectators on the floor
and galleries of the senate chamber In
the present session of congress For
three hours the Texan spoke and then an
nounccd he would continue his speech to-
morrow.
His plea that the senator from Illinois
be permitted TO retain his seat was OF so
elaborate n nature and delivered with
such force and fervor that ii placed MT
Bailey in the chief place among the de-
tenders of Lorimcr. just as did the ar
raignment- by Root a few days ago place
the New York senator In the foremost
position among those who are seeking 10
unseat The Illlnoisan
Some New Features.
Mr.. Bailey introduced many striking
features, not the least startling OF which
was the assertion that forgery had been
resortcd 10 to make case against Lori
uer
This, he asserted. had been in connec-
ton with the efforts to show that Hoist
law OF the Illinois legislature has been
bribed to vote for Mir. Lormcr.
Mr.. Bailey boldly charged that the war
ON Mr. boT!mer had been unrelenting and
personal and said the effort had been not
so much to convict wrong doors To
destroy Mr., LoriDer.
In connection with his presenta tion OF
law features. Mr.. Bailey gave what he
said To be the practice OF the senate In
vacating seats, holding no senator re-
sponsiblc for acts OF corruption in his
behalf when he had not been cosnizant
OF them and requiring the vitation of
enough votes to rob him OF his majority In
case of his lack OF acquaintance with
the facts.
Many members OF the house stood
against the walls while the address was
in process of delivery. and Mr.. Lorimer
himself was in his seat.
