A DECLARATION OF WAR.
(Phoenix Republican,

That legislative subdivision, irrever ently called the ''ax committed" but officially known as the house commit tee on state institutions has at last brought about a situation out of which must come an open struggle between the administration and a considerable element of the legislature
 Events have been leading steadily up to this for weeks; we may say, for Ia year.The earliest of them date from the days before the organization of the first legislature. Nothing appears to have been done by either side to pre- vent the widening of the breach or for the bridging of the chasm.
 What disposition will be made of the extremely censorious report of the committee on Saturday we do not know. It is now in the hands of the | attorney general. It probably repre- sents the sentiment of majority of the house but the administration will find stubborn defenders in the senate.
 The allegations contained in the re- port, of course, are made on informa- ton, gathered from the report of Audi tor Callaghan which has been in the hands of the house committee on state institutions for some weeks The | language of the committees report does not entirely conceal the want of sympathy between the committee and the administration; but, if it were quite devoid of bitterness, the allega- tions of disregard of the law are of such a character that they cannot be ignored, so that we may expect a prompt response on the part of the administration.
 The report leads up to a recommen- dation for a reorganization of the board of control, a board which shall consist of elective officers represent ling different departments of the gov ernment, independent of one another and responsible only to the people.
 An attempt was made in the second session of the legislature to create such a board and a bill was passed by the house but was defeated in the sen ate. Another bill has been introduc ed but it will probably go no farther than it's predecessor.

LEAVE MEXICO ALONE.
And the People Will Work Out Their
 Liberties.

The present struggle in Mexico is part of a struggle of the past 100 years by the cormon people against the land monopchsis.
 The present revolution broke out two years ago as continuance of this long struggle in order to break up the feudal system now prevail ing there, and divide the large estates among the toilers of the soil
 This is an agrarian revolution. Op- posed to the common people is the army, supporting the big landlords. From the recent military uprising is separate and apart, and has had noth ing to do with the killing of Madero
 The soldiery, under the continual heavy strokes of the revolutionary forces, have lost their discipline and now are fighting among themselves. In a short time more they will be en- tirely the revolution will be successful in it's purpose and an agrarian democracy will spring up.
 Mexico will be counted among the free countries; but unhappily this cannot be done without strife. It was also by means of strife that de mocracy was established in the Unit ed States.
 I agree that the territory that the United States took from Mexico is in better state of development than Mex ico, but this development is not for the betterment of the Mexicans. What we want in Mexico is better condi tions for the millions of MeXicans.
 President Polk made the war on Mexico to annex this part of the coun try, but not at all with the purpose of establishing the present state O; affairs, but to conquer it for slavery and if slavery does not exist in Texas New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and extent to the Mexican population of these states.
 A few years after the annexation of New Mexico the Mexican popu- lation there asked for statehood and they framed a constitution in ' 1 Later on, the civil war. New Mexico supplied more volunteers to the Union cause in proportion to pop ulation than any state, sending 636l volunteers, self supplied with food, arms and equipment, and giving to the Texas federates licking a trif1e more than any other recorded in his 1 tory-and I can prove this statement. i The war between Mexico and the i United States resulted in the pro- lection and the enforcement of the privilege of the feudal landlords in Mexico and the crushing of the aspirations of the common people.
 Later on, when these common people had already broken up the feudal system, the French army came into Mexico once more to protect the feudal lords.
 i If there is war with the United States the only result will be the pro- lection and the continuance of the most brutal depotism known in the world-the depotism of the Mexican ] landlord and the continuance of slav- i cry of the millions of the toilers of 1 the soil.

IT HAS COME TO A SHOW DOWN

SCdT.t
 Governor Hunt has notified the legis lature that he will make reply to the charges that he violated the state law in selling goods to the state from his stores at Globe. It is hoped the an- swer of the governor will be convinc- ing, but it will take more than a mere denial to satisfy the people of the state that he has not violated the law. He must bring out the evidence that he did not.
 The state law that provides state official cannot sell goods to the state is very good one and it is law that is on the books of every state and municipality. It is so well known that it is taken for granted that every per son is acquainted with the law.
 Every citizen will await with inter- est the outcome of the matter which probably will not be until it has been brought before some tribunal, unless the governor can give a statement that is so convincing that those who filed the report against him in the legisla- ture Will De Wlll1nS to WlCHuTdW It,.
 Regarding the charge that the Ben son reform school has not been con- ducted properly there seems to be con- siderable doubt. The charges are not clear and do not mention specific things that have gone wrong. The governor has wanted to move the school so that the inmates could get better treatment and have better op- portunities. If he sold goods to this school however, there can be no ques- tion but that the purchasing of the goods needs Investigating by the prop CT civil authorities.
 There is some diversity of opinion regarding the different measures ad- vanced by Governor Hunt and that is to be expected, but there can be no d1' vision of opinion in violations of the law regarding the sale of goods to the state.
