FOOL LEG|SL AT|ON
 HOLDS ARIZONA '--,
: Millions of Capital Now Needed to
 Develop the State is Being h-.~es Driven Out.

By James Coyle, in Phoenix Democrat.
 4 visit to Phoenix and the state capitol presents many new phases of Arizona Democracy. I find men in the Arizona legislature whose only sa5m in lawmaking seems to be, as the term is, to "cinch" somebody or thing, to cinch the railroads, to cinch the mines, in fact, to strike blow at any of the many large interests in the state One member of the
 lgislature told me that he wanted to 4ciIach the railroads. MT. Editor, : am not now, nor never have been in
 the employ of any railroad or other - corporation, but I have lived in Ari- zona many years before a mile of railroad was operated within the ter ritory ;and realize the many difficult ties tGhat confronted the people ir thSse days. Dusty roads, slow buck boards and stage coaches. Slow, cumbersome mule teams freighting across lonely, sandy deserts-how the railroads changed all these disagree able conditions; how well every old timer remembers the coming of the railroad to Tucson; how every man in the territory was present and threw his hat in the air when the first locomotive that ever crossed the desert whistled into old Peublo; how grateful all were for the advent or that great western civilizer and devel- oper; how the coming of the railroad drove the savages from our territory and brought peace and prosperity to Arizona. but now after many years of progress of our territory, when we have thousands of miles of railroads within it's limits and need many thou sands more, we find men holding public offices indulging in a cheap specie of demagogism and traffcing

LOCAL PRESS CLUB IS
 FORMED BY SCRIBES
TO ENTERTAIN VISITING NEWS PAPER MEN CHIEF
 OBJECT.

At last the newspaper men of Phoenix have an organization. The Phoenix Press club was formed yes terday at a luncheon held in the Hotel Adams grill room All the papers of the city were represented and the club starts off with all the working newspaper men of the city as mem berS.
 Ned Creighton, president of the Ari- zona News Bureau, was elected presi- dent of the Phoenix Press club, Harry Welch, secretary of the Board of Trade, was made vice president, while Ira H. s. Huggett city editor of the Republican, was chosen secretary treasurer All the elections were unanimous. The scribes named as their officers the men they deemed best fitted to start the new club out right and set it firmly on it's feet A constitution was adopted which provides for four classes of member

ship. First comes those who are the actual newspaper workers, those who write news and editorials for local papers or correspond for papers away from Phoenix. Associate members are those with whom the newspaper men often come in contact, former newspaper men and stockholders in companies that publish papers. Ac- tive newspaper men who do not live in Phoenix will be admitted to non resident membership. Persons who have performed some great service for the public or for the newspaper pro- fession can be made honorary mem bers by the unanimous vote of the club Only honorary members will be exempt from the payment of dues.
 One of the principal objects of the club is to make welcome visiting newspaper and magazine writers. The scribes have great dreams of some day having a building of their own, where they can entertain famous authors and men in public life. At yesterdays meeting the possibility of having Ebert Hubbard lecture to the people of Phoenix under the auspices of the Press club was discussed An other writer who is soon to be here is Sir Gilbert Parker. The Press club will see that they do not lack for a welcome.-Repubfiea

in public prosperity by appealing to rant and demagogism by shouting, "Cinch the railroads, cinch the mines .''
 I have been a prospector all my life and also have been a Democrat, but this cheap method of appealing to every thing that is vile and demagogic in man to secure a certain character of votes does not strike me as belong ing to either the Democratic party or to the well known character of. Ari- zona manhood. What Arizona needs, far more than it needs these cheap statesmen, is the development of wa ter and more railroads. Arizona cannot hope to progress to the high stage of development which she is entitled to enjoy without both-we must have more railroads before we can hope to secure that degree of prosperity that we all hope for, and instead of de crying and talking of cinching rail roads our public men had better pro vide some means to induce railroad companies to build more roads.
 Now as to the attempt to throttle the mining industry by a cinch sys- tenn of taxation, these men had bet ter try and encourage these corpora tions I don't mean by any unfair system of taxation or public favorS but to treat both railroads and min ing corporations in the same manner that they treat every other tax payer in this state. The mines and the railroads of Arizona employ two-thirds of all the labor in the state. Yet we find these little fy-up-the-creek law makers shouting "Cinch the mines. Cinch the railroads" If it were not for these mines and these railroads these individuals would not be in Arizona No one ever hears a man that came to Arizona before the rail- roads were here and before the mines were opened, ever derouncing these useful and necessary corporations, his | is left for the pot-house politician whose whole stock in trade is bound : up in securing the votes of a class of men who are neither residents or tax payers.
 | Col Randolph constructed 1900 miles of railroads in Mexico the past two years at an expense of some thirty million dollars. Why not per init him and his company to do like wise in Arizona? Gentlemen, kick

JEROME, Ariz., April 3O.-Action looking to the recall of Governor George w. P. Hunt will be taken to- morrow evening, when a mass meet ing, called by the leading Democrats of northern Arizona, will be held here. The purpose Of the meeting is to pass resolutions condemning the course pursued by Hunt relative to the condoning of crime in the state during his administration, and to take formal action looking to the circula- tion of petitions for a recall election at once.
 While leading Democrats have taken the initiative in calling the meeting tomorrow night, the meeting will be non-partisan in it's nature. Bitter feeling is general in Yavapai over Hurts action in saving the lives of the four murderers from this county, who were to have been hanged ten days ago.

HUNT SCORED
 IN MASS MEETING.

PRESCOTT, April 29.-At a mass meeting of citizens. which packed the courthouse to protest against aboli- tion of capital punishment, Governor Hunt was severely scored tonight for his act in reprieving four Yavapai murderers. Attorney Robert E. Nor rison declared that the voters should get out a recall petition.
 Resolutions were adopted congrat- ulating the house and senate for the passing of the penal code and calling upon the governor to execute the will of the people by allowing it to be- come a law. Representatives of this county are also called upon to again pass the code should the governor veto it.
