PETITION is FILED

The die is cast. Stafford has com.
pleted her petitions for the removal
of the county seat from Solomon.
vile to Stafford, and has filed same
with the board of supervisors.
The contest is now on and the
people of Graham county will soon
learn whether they will be able to
exercise their will in selecting a live
town for the county seat and build
a court house of modern type. that
will not only provide for all the
county offices, but will be of credit

law, to get before the people the
opportunity to make the change.
Everything has been done accord
ing to law, all conditions have been
complied with and nothing left un-
done to meet all its requirements.
Comes now the proposition to
place the matter before the proper
tribunal, which is also according to
the law.
This tribunal, not because of poll
tics, is prejudiced and biased, and
in turn allows opponents to the wish
of the majority of the people, thru
counsel, find the way to prevent the
will of the people being carried out.
And why is this done?
Because, by delays, the time for
action can be passed and the oppor-
tunity sought by the majority Of
the people to have the matter prop
erly brought before them is lost.
This is the way under the present
system in which even those who as
sisted in passing the law, voted in
favor of it, can satisfy their preju-
dice against man and place, and in
backing up opponents succeed in
blocking and preventing rightful
action in the matter.
This strange system allows laws
for corporations to be so closely
drawn that a needle could not be
driven thru them, while on the other
hand, it sees laws for the common
people so loosely drawn that one
could drive an ice wagon and team
of horses thru them.
So it goes on and will ever be so
until the people determine for them.

should be governed and prevent
just such things as are happening

ponents to the proposition of letting
the people decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to remove

SECURE THE SANITARIUM

One of the very best things that
could happen to Stafford and the
Gi'a Valley would he the establish
ment of santarium, and the op-
portunty for securing an enterprise
of this nature is now before the
people.
The fact that hot water we'll
has been developed close to town
has drawn the attention of people
who can carry out successfully plans
to erect one of the largest and best
sanitariums in the southwest, and
theT are anxious to do it if they
can get the support Of the people
of Stafford and the Gi!a Valley.
Not only has the fact that hot
water can be secured, with curative
mineral qualities, but the very ex-
cellent climate of the valley is an
added inducement to the establish
ing of a sanitarium that will un-
doubtedly be a success from the time
of its opening.
There is not one thing that could be
thought of or that could be practi-
cally carried out to completion, that
would do more for the successful
upbuilding of the valley, than a
sanitarium, and the opportunity is
now ipe to secure this great business
enterprise.
The people of Stafford particular
ly should get busy on this PROPOSE.
tion and keep at it until the build
ing is finished and the business estab-
lished.

THINK 1T OVER

Apropos of the county seat re,
moval, here is something to think
of: The legislature meets and passes
a law which becomes part of the
statutes. After time the citizens
of certain community get together
and plan under this particular stat
ute to right a great wrong, and
they proceed, according to tn,
Graham guardian., 1912-10-04

having one-third the assessable
wealth of the county, has more than
been accomplished; in fact. the as,
sessable wealth represented on the
petitions amounts to 81, $50, 900, over
100000 more than is required by
law.
The reason that more names were
secured than needed, lies in the fact
that vast majority of the people
of Graham county favor the remov.
al of the county seat to Stafford, be.
cause they believe Stafford is the
only town in the county that is en-.
titled to it.
Stafford is now and always has
been the most progressive town in
the county. 1t has made better
streets; has built better homes and
business houses; is more enterpris-
ing and takes the lead in all matters
pertaining to progress, and in many
other ways has shown that it is up
to the times and always willing to
go ahead with any project that has
for its object the betterment of con-
ditions that would lead to a success
full town and later to develop into
a large city.
Stafford is centrally located and is
easy of access. 1t has two large
hotels, several rooming houses and
restaurants, thus being able to ac-
commodate a greater number of
people attending court and other
county seat business. and, in this re-
spect, is far ahead of any other
town in the county.
Stafford has the two best banks in
the county; it has the best postoffice
and postoffice building; it has the
largest opera house, and recently
one of the largest, if not the largest,
warehouses in the State has been
built, for the purpose of storing
flour ard grain. 1t has the only ice
plant and creamery in the county.
Within few weeks, mountain
water, the best in the world, will
be flowing through the pipes now
being laid, thus affording a good
supply of pure water and water for
fire protection, and this water sup
ply also assures power for machinery
and electric lights.
In fact, Stafford has for years been
forging ahead of every other town
in the county, until today it leads
in the volume of business transacted
in the county.
There are many other reasons why
the people of Graham county should
favor Stafford for the county seat
more than any other town, but the
principal reason is that Stafford,
more than any other town in the
county. is entitled to the county
seat.
The people of Graham county
should help Stafford in every way to
get the county seat and thus cor!
tribute to the building of a first
class city in the county, one Of
which they can be proud and in
which they can all have an interest.
the matter should be laid before |
the people for vote and thus give
the people Of Graham county the
opportunity of determining the qGes-
ton of county seat removal.
