The Referendum Rnls.

In accordance with announce ments, at Masonic Hall, Tuesday evening, the public of Nogales and vicinity were addressed by Prof. Fred G. Athearn of the Uni versity of California, and Hon. John B. Wright of Tucson, on the ques- tions now before the people of Ari-- zona, in submission by referendum petitions for consideration by the people at the November election, of the railway legislation passed by the state legislature. The various measures are enumerated in large advertisement filling the great part of another page of THE OASIS, and are not necessary of enumera- tion here.
 Professor Athearn was the first speaker, and he presented an analysis of each enactment, show ing their tendency to cripple the borrowing capacity of Arizona, railways, preventing negotiating. loans for other construction so. much needed in Arizona; but the, main point of the argument ad-
 vanced was that the constitutional
 provision for an elective corpora tion commission, now duly organ ized and in operation, established capable and effective instrument
 for all regulation of railways in
 Arizona, and to meet all the issues
 presented in the six measures now
 referred, which commission can and
 will investigate all such proposi-
 tions and determine them justly
 and correctly, without working
 harm or damage to any interest.
 appealing to the voters to cast
 their ballots so the constitutional
 duties of the commission will not be annulled, as will be the case should this legislation be sustained The address of the gentleman was clear cut and effective, his facts , we'll marshalled and his deductions logically drawn.
 Mir. Wright followed Professor Athearn, and his speech was de- voted more to a history of the legislation they opposed, asserting that the bills are spite legislation } drawn and pushed to enactment : by discharged yardmaster who
 had been in the employ of the
 Southern Pacific, lost his job for cause, secured election to the legis- lature, then asked reinstatement, , failing in which he resorted to retaliation in this way. MT. Wright's appeal to the voters also
 was that they cast their ballots to , leave settlement of all the ques- ' tions involved to the constitutional l body created to consider just such subjects.
 There was in attendance a fair a sized audience of voters, with a v goodly number of ladies, who
 seemed interested greatly in the
 remarks of the two speakers, and
 open to conviction.

A CLEAR ENuNcIArloN.
Platform of the Republican Party of
 Arizona

No uhqudilnouly opPIoNo "hu assert the propositions and prin- ciples of the republican party, enunciated in it's masterly, pro- gressive and patriotic platform adopted at the National convention held at Chicago, June P, 1912, and avow our abiding faith therein and iealty thereto.
 We endorse the wise, conserva- tive, yet liberal administration of President Taft, it's true American ism, its safeguarding of the correct principles of free government, and its close adherence to the principles of republica We endorse the candidacy of Fred s. Breen, Walter Talbot and Hoval A. Smith for the presidential electors and candidate for representative in congress, Thos. k. Campbell.
 We heartily recommend the adoption of constitution amend ment numbers 105 and 106, the same being forward step toward the ultimate enactment through proper legislation of more intelli: gent and equal taxing system.
 We agree with the American Bar association, with the republican nominee, President Vim. H. Taft, the democratic nominees, Woodrow Wilson and Thos. Marshall, and every conservative statesman in the nation, that the recall as ap- piled to the judiciary Is utterly vicious and we recommend the electorate in Arizona to vote against the amendment writing this fallacy into the Arizona con stitution.
 We disapprove the extravagant policy being pursued by the demo- cratic administration in the state and deprecate the creation of num- erous and unnecessary offices for the purpose of intrenching the political machine of the adminis- tration at the expense of the tax payer.
 Believing that the elective fran chise should be granted regardless of sex, the republican party of Ari- zona endorses the doctrine of equal rights, and recommends the adop- tion of the proposed amendment of the constitution of Arizona, con- ferring exercise of the elective fran chise upon the women of the new state.
 We deplore and condemn the policy of the democratic admins. tration of Arizona, in releasing after short periods of incarceration convicts who have been sentenced for long terms by courts and juries who have examined the evidence upon which convictions were had The action of the democratic ad ministration weakens the weight o the law, and the influence of such released convicts upon the crimi nally inclined is pernicious in tht extreme.
 We pledge our nominee for con gress to work and vote for exten sion of time on payment by farmers under reclamation projects, al pledged in the national republican platform adopted at Chicago, anC to support an appropriation fol control of the Colorado river by construction of an adequate leve,

EASY AND SURE WAY
 T0 CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect a Cold, E|y's Cream Balm Will Stop It
 in the Sneezing Stage.

A cold generally attacks the weakest part, affecting the eyes and ears in some and producing nasal catarrh and throat troubles in others. A cold is due to an h. fammation of the membrane lining the air passages, and may be promptly cured with little Ely's Cream Balm, which immedi- ately relieves the inflammation and all the distressing symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, running g-at-the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore throat, fever and head ache. One reason why this pure, antlsep- tic Balm acts so quickly is because it is ap- piled directly to the tender, sore surfaces.
 Even in severe, chronic cases of catarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never fails to quickly and effectually check the poisonous dis charge which clogs the head and throat, causing the disgusting hawking, spitting and blowing of the nose. This remedy net only drives out the disease, but heals and strengthens the weakened membranes, thus ending catarrh.
 Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting disease. Don't put up with it another day. Get 50 cent bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your druggist and see how quickly you will be relieved. It is perfectly harmless.

and urged them to amicably adjust their differences.
 This statement- was made at a meeting of the Taxpayers and his recommendation was favored by J. M. Oracle and others. Several mem- bers, among them Capiain E. w. Will Hams and Ben Dalby, opposed any Compromise, being in favor of lighting to finish.
 The committee from the TaXpay CTS Association, which asked for a conference with the Bridge Commis- sioners, was composed of J. M Gra- cie, w. w. West, B. F. Julian, w. N. Bridges, o. E. Mckenzie, s. T. Wair T. J. Collier and Asa Oracle.
 Two sessions were held by the Taxpayers. At the first one the committee to confer with the Bridge Commissioners was named and at the second the committee reported. F. was stated that the Bridge Con- mission announced that it had a majority of signers on its petitions and is ready to proceed witl the or ganization of the district, and had agreed that if the Taxpayers select three men for assessors for the dis trict, the commissioners would se- lect three and the men Seould Ee elected from the six to assess the property in the district, (Which will embrace the entire county. The as- easements would be levied according to the benefits. It was further agreed that property eight miles from the bridge should be assessed at one-sixth of that near the bridge.
 The Taxpayers asked that the Commission submit it's ne'titions to its committee so that the Associa- tion might ascertain whether or not the Commission really had a major fly of the taxpayers in value or number or in acres of land, as pro- vided by the special bridge act. If the committee decides that the Bridge Commission has majority it will present the names of J. M. Oracle, from the north side of the- river; o. B. Mckenzie, from Pine Bluff, and B. F. Julian, who will Represent the bill country in the county, for as- ,sessors from the Taxpayers Asso-' citation. If this results another meeting of the Taxpayers Associa- ficn will be held here to approve the report of the committee

TO NAME ASSESSORS

The members of the Taxpayers Protective Association, an organiza- tion that is opposing the building ot the Free Bridge under the special act of the Legislature, authorizing i-s construction across the Arkansas river at this point, took the initia- tive yesterday to bring about an ad- justment and satisfactory settlement of the differences between them selves and the Jefferson County Bridge Commissioners, who repre- sent ..he Free Bridge people in this county. Although no definite action was taken at meeting held in this city hy the anti-bridge people under the auspices of the Taxpayers Pro tective Association, it is believed tat it will result in a satisfactory J5m- promise that will most likely unite all of the people of this county for the Free Bridge.
 Concessions were asked by V con- mittee from the Taxpayers Assoc'a- tion of the Bridge Commission and they also admitted at their meeting that the Free Bridge Bill would be sustained bv the Supreme Court, bas- ing %heir : decision on the Free Bridge case that vas carried to the higher court from Fort Smith and Van Buren and which failed to pre- vent the building of -the new Frsn Bridge across the Arkansas river at that point. Attorney Asa Oracle. of Little Rock, who, with a committee e from the Taxpayers Protective As sociation, conferred with the Bridge Commission at il o'clock yesterday morning, informed the Taxpayers that the commissioners have the authority under the Free Bridge bill to determine when they have g majority of the signers to the Free Bridge petitions and Chat the oppon- ents to the Bridge had no recourse He advised the members of the Asso- ciation to get the best doncession from the Bridge Commission possibl'
