THE ONE GREAT PROBLEM.
tAriZoHa Democrat.)

No nation in the world equals the
United States natural resources
and especially does this country lead
all others in its mineral wealth.
which is so widely distributed that
all parts OF the nation have 4 share
IN II. The twelve most important
minerals are coal iron, clay. products,
copper, petroleum, gold stone. natural
gas. cement, lead, silver and zinc
and their output is in the order
named. Only four states had a Gin
eral output last year valued at less
than $1,000, 600. Pennsylvania leads
in coal, cement and stone. Minnesota
in iron, Arizona ia copper, Ohio III
clay products, California in petroleum
and gold, Missouri in lead and zinc
and Nevada i'm silver
But the real wealth OF the United
States is not in les minerals. great
as il is. but in its fertile soil and Its
running rivers that are to furnish
the power. heat and light for coming
generations. These natural resources
Of wealth are inexhaustible. Lands in
Europe and Asia that have been
farmed for thousands of wears are
still producing twice as much to the
acre as the virgin and more fertile
soils Of this country produce.
II is altogether practical to so ar
range government in this country
that there shall De enough for all
and none need go hungry and shelter
less. In fact, more than enough is
row produced for that purpose, bu:
some have 100 much and some have
too little. The more equitable distri.
button Of wealth q the one great prob.
lem. Unless il is solved all efforts
at reform will be useless.
Soma men would try TO accomplish
il by new system of taxation. some
by inheritance and income taxes, some
by readjustments of the tariff. some
by regulating monopoly. some by reg
ulatirg competition and some by the
collective ownership and distribution.
but the end they all have in view is
the same. an dthat is the more equal
distribution Of wealth.

Legal hanging is murder in the

ont expressing any opinion on the
propriety of capital punishment We
must observe that though Mr. Chain
is a well informed lawyer he has neg
Iected to enumerate one of the neces-

The jlry which finds an accused
murderer guilty. approaches that sol-
efun an Irresponsible duty with de-
gree O fregret equalled only by thas
OF the court which pronounces the
sentence OF death. The officer who
executes the sentence, II he is right

the time comes for his taking off
there IS a softening Of feeling for

general sympathy with him but there
is none the malice without which
there cannot be murder
The general staiemen that legal

good argument in favor OF the aboii-

The movement for commission
form OF government in Bisbee, inaus.
ursted by the Warren district com
mereiai club. that organization being
joined in it's efforts by the Business
Mems Protective association, is pur
suing a wise course, that of thorough
investigation of present conditions
and Of the new plan proposed before
presenting the matter to the public.
At the meeting of the joint commit
tee named by the two local organiza,
tions on Tuesday night Il was de-
cided that the city council shall be
asked to name a committee to act in
conjunction with the committee OF
citizens In making close study %
results which come from the new
government plan and their relative
cost. 1t may be expected that the
city council wfll name such a com.
mfttee when requested to DO so.
After this Is done the work of further
investigation and procuring OF data
may proceed. so that If it be agreed
that the commission form OF govern.
rlent will benefit our municipal con-
6.tions and lessen the cost to the prop.
erty owners. facts and figures bearing
out such a conclusion may be at hand

Throughout the west the news
papers are discussing the desirabiiity
OF securing some western man for the
position OF secretary OF the interior
in President Wilson's cabinet The
move is one that should lie pushed
with visor by every state west OF the
Mississippi river. There is no other
cabinet position that has so much to
do with the development and care
OF the west and western interests as
the secretary Of the interior; he has
charge OF the vast areas OF public
land in the new states, he has charge
Of the government reclamation ser.
vice, exclusively a western business,
and he has charge OF the forests and
forest reserves. Surely some OF ouT
big. loyal western men should occupy
this position and II western influence
can be solidlhed in favor of one he
