REPUBLICANS OF ARIZONA

NET HObLiNAlNO UT ANlAOlNA
 Now, that it is definitely settled that Col. Roosevelt will be candi date for the republican nomination for the presidency, the fight ar ong the republicans of Arizona may be considered to be on. The end of contest of this kind is generally in volved in doubt, but in this case it appears safe to predict that Roose- welt delegation from Arizona will be easily chosen.
 A central organization which has become a very effective and busy one was formed at Phoenix a month ago. It is composed of leading re- publicans, some of whom are warm personal friends and admirers of the colonel, and of some whom have never been "crazv about Taft.
 There does not seem to be mate rial for even a good nucleue for Taft organization within the state. There are not federal officers to form one. The administration, thie year, will miss the territorial ad ministration, all of whose members down to the most lowly appendage have always been enthusiastic work CTS for such delegates as the federal administration has demanded. But four years ago, with even this pow erful leverage it was impossible to deliver such a delegation. How much more impossible will it be this year when the administration organization is practically extinct?
 A large section of the republican party of the state is strongly in clined to progressivism, so that if Col. Roosevelt had not entered the field it is doubtful whether La Fol lette,' lacking the great personal popularity of the colonel, could not have secured a delegation.
 There is among the Arizona re- publicans, not only a strong in ciination to MT. Roosevelt, but there is a feeling of positive hostility toward MT. Taft on account of his course with respect to the constitu- , tion. Many who may not have favored the judicial recall or who were apathetic concerning it re sented what they considered an ar bitrary exercise of the power con- ferred on the president by the ena- bling act, though it was made plain by, the friends of the president that he was performing an official duty as he saw it, without a purpose to defeat statehood and without hope of permanently preventing the adop- tion of the recall of the judiciary provision to which, however, he could not conscientiously seem to assent.
 But, even if there was no hos tility toward MT. Taft, the lack of interested friends and of an active and earnest organization or the ma
 terial for forming one, would make it impossible for him to secure a delegation against the Roosevelt en thusiasm sometimes blazing, some
 times latent, but always present. Bisbee Review.

and that only the democratic party of- fers a standard of principle. The. ex- pediency of the situation is merely to see to it that those who receive special priv ileges behave themselves, whereas our principle is that nobody ought to receive or retain special privileges at all, that every special privilege shall be destroyed, not with a ruthless hand, not in such fashion as suddenly to upset the condi- tions of business, but nevertheless with the firmness and kindness of the judicious parent. For the government of the United States at present is mere foster child of the special interest It is not allowed to have a will of it's own. It is told at every move, Don't do that.

|ASTOR ESTATEP PAYS INHERITANCE TAX
Payment Largest Ever Made on Single Estate-Over
 Three Million

Albany. N. Y., october 1f.-A check for $3,150,000 was received today by State Comptroller Sohmer in payment of the advanced Inheritance tax on the estate of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor who perished on the Titanic.
 The temporary tax was paid at this time in order to obtain per cent rebate allowed by law if the tax is paid within six months after the death of the decedent. This rebate is equiva- lent to $155,000. The temporary tax represents an estate valued at about s75, 100000 although the final tax will not be fixed until after the estate has been appraised.
 The payment is the largest inheri- tance tax paid on a single estate since the enactment of the law 27 years ago and is nearly one-third as large as was the entire tax collected during the fiscal year ending September 30. The preliminary tax on the estates of the other victims of the Titanic disaster including those of the late Isidol iStraus and Benjamin Guggenheim has not yet been paid. The executors have
 until October 15 to make the payment
 in order to benefit by the per cent rebate.

FISHER AND KNOX
 BACK IN AMERICA
Charges Against Frear Are Withdrawn-Japan Well
 cOmed Knox

Seattle, Wash, October 1.-The cruiser Maryland, bringing Secretary of State Knox from Japan. and Secretary of the Interior Fisher from Honolulu, arrived today. Secretary Fisher, before leaving for San Francisco said:
 q was sent to the islands by President Taft to investigate charges filed against Governor Walter F. Frear by Delegate to Congress Jonah Kalanianaole, who sought to prevent the reappointment of the gov ernor, and who alleged misconduct in the administration of the government. The investigation speedily took on broader scope than had been contemplated and covered social, political and economic con- ditions in the islands. The result was that the charges against the governor were lost sight of and at the close of the hearing counsel for Kalanianaole pub licly stated that as some of the charges had been improved and others found to be based on erroneous information, he wished to withdraw them.
 "One reform we all agreed on-that the public city corporations ought to be placed under the supervision of a public utilities commission The interstate cOHiInerce commission has jurisdiction over the rail- roads, but 1t is too far away
 There was unanimity of opinion In the islands that the investigation was the most helpful event that has ever taken place there"
 Secretary Knox made the following statement to the press today:
 ''As publicly announced before I left Washington and repeated on my arrival in Japan, the purpose of my recent mis- sion was on behalf of the President and the people of the United States to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Emperor; to manifest the apprecia- tion of the American people of the won- derful achievements under his majesty's s reign and to express the sympathetic American interest In the new Japan.
 Tn fulfilling that high mission 1 was received on all sides by the court, by the officials and by the people of Japan in the spirit in which I came. I have the pleasantest recollections of the kindly reception that was everywhere accorded me in Japan, both personally and as a representative of the American people at a time of profound national mourning"

in the old clothes of antiquated stump orators? There cannot be free trade in the United States so long as the estab- lished fiscal policy of the federal govern- ment is maintained. The federal govern ment has chosen throughout all the gen erations that have preceded us to main tain itself chiefly on indirect interest of direct taxation. I dare say we shall never see a time when it can alter that policy in any substantial degree, and there is no democrat of prudence or thoughtfulness that I have mes who contemplates a pro- gramme of rife trade.
 What Is Intended
 'But what we have been doing and what we intend to do, what the House of Representatives has been attempting to do and will attempt to do again, and succeed, is to weed this garden of indus try that we have been cultivating. If we have been laying at the roots of our in- dustrial enterprises this fertilization of protection, we have found that the stim- ulation was not equal in respect of all the growths in the garden, and that there are some growths which every man can distinguish with the naked eye, which have so overtopped the rest. which have so thrown the rest into destroying shadow that 1t is impossible for the industries of the United States as whole to prosper under their desolating obstruction We are going into our garden, therefore, and weed it. We are going to give the little plants air and light in which to grow. We are going to pull up every root that has so spread itself as to draw all the nutri1nent of the soil from the other plants. We are going to see to it that fer tilization of intelligence, of invention, or origination, is once more applied to a set of industries now threatening to be stag nant. because threatening to be too much concentrated That is the policy of the democratic party in regard to the pro tective tariff, as I understand it. The democratic party has not proposed to change the established fiscal policy of this country, except where it furnishes root for special privilege, and wherever spe- cial privilege grows there American labor languishes.
 s"The difference between the democratic and the republican parties or rather be- tween the democratic party and those va rious other groups and parts of parties that are masquerading under all sorts of names is that they are willing to accept the discretionary power of individuals and we are not willing to accept anything ex- cept the certainty of law. That is the only thing that has ever afforded saliva tion or safety.
 .'All over the country we are facing the same problem. It is a problem not of revolution, but of readjustment And what I want to suggest to you is that the only basis, the only standard of re- adjustment proposed or suggested by our opponents is the standard of expediency,

Plans have been completed for the location of a large barrel and slave fac tory in Ensley. The details of the es- tablishment of the industry are being withheld. but a semi official announce ment has been made that the factory will be located between Ensley and Wy lam. It is stated that the factory will be the largest in the state. About 5o men will be employed while probably a larger number will be employed in the outside work connected with indus tries of this nature.
 A false alarm Friday morning at f;45 caused the Ensley department to make A run to Fairview. This was the first run by the local firemen for period of 2s days, which is eight days longer than any previous record.
 A committee from the Ensley club will attend the "zoo" meeting at the city hall at noon today for the purpose of securing the location of the zoo in Ensley park. M H. Mcdowell, D. w. Averyt, c. c. Burke, w. R. stewart and J. c. dc Lacee have been authorized to attend the meeting and bring the zoo back with them"
 Members of the Ensley club state that Ensley has the logical site for the location and every effort will be made to land the plum. A number of business men of the city were visited by the committee yesterday afternoon, and 1t is claimed that if the question of money enters into the matter Ensley can and will do her share toward equfpping and maintaining the institution.
 The celebration of Columbus day will be a somewhat divided affair from all indications. Announcement Is made that no formal celebration of the day will be held until Sunday. Notwithstanding this the Ensley postoffice will be closed after 10 o'clock this morning The
