The so-called autocratic fca- turs of the government may be largely due to the fact that gov ernors hold office with the approval of the President, that iefa politI- cos have similar relations with the governors, and that the officers of the municipalities are generally con- trcled by the jefe pOliticos.

The C0rd0va Alaskan has the following to say about a recent shipment of ore from the famous Molher Lode copper property, sit uated in the rich quartz zone of the Copper river country;
 The train yesterday afternoon brought in another shipment of four cars, or about 200 tons, of copper ore from the property of the Mother Lode Copper Mine Company.

FEATURES
 0F MEXICO

Washington, May 21-Now that Mexico is so much in the public mind and eye, some features of thas revolution stricken republic, just made public here by the Ma tionm Geographic Society, are of unusual interest
 Iu the first place, few people realize that the area of Mexico is practically as large as that of the Uultcd States between he AIississ- ippi river and the Atlantic coast, the great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, varying in altitude from sea level to 1S,0OO feet. Its climate is affected by these elevations and by a range of Is degrees Os latitude. Twelve hundred miles is the dis t4ace traversed in passing south from Jaurez on the northern bound ary to the capital, and 900 miles mere to the southeastern boundary The GuIf of Mexico and the Carri- bean Sea coast line extends for 1700 miles while the Pacific ocean and the Gulf of California touch 4,000 miles of Mexican coast.
 The average density of popula- ton Of Mexico approxImates 20 per square mile, the most thickIy populated portions, outside of the Federal district, being the states of Taxacala and Mexico, the former being smaller in area than Della ware and of about the same density O population. The state O Mexico is nearly as large both n pOpula- ton and area as New Hampshire.
 The form of government adopted by Mexico follows that ill general of the United States, having eXecu- tive, legislative and judicial di- vision. Each of the 27 stltes is re- presented in two houses O. congress, composed of senators and deputies. Congress holds two sessions each year for limited periods.

The Commissions Next Step

The referendum having been invoked, being about to be invoked, against the pending license tax ordinance, the commission may elect go fore the people with it or to repeal it and begin the work of drafting a ordinance While the people might sustain the pending ordinance, the commission may consider that the damage that would result the city from a campaign in which great deal of acrimony would be developed should be avoided and that further proceedings should be taken under ordinance No G.
 If the commission should decide upon the latter course, would suggest that the commission pre- pare ordinance. purely as an emergency measure, and, having ascertained how much money will be needed beside that be derived from known sources of revenue, design ordinance that will raise that amount and more We would further suggest if the commission elects prepare a ordinance, that it invite conferences with delegations of cti- representing the various occupations that would be affected, to the end that measure which would not only be equitable but would be conceded to be equitale, may be framed
 On the thus obtained ordinance should be made, clear and concise in the simplest lan- guage, that there could possibly be misunder- standing of it's We would especially have it made clear that wage-earner should be taxed; that hardship would be imposed upon any oc- cupation, and that occupation should escape it's just share the burden
 There is suggestion that would strongly present, and believe it that will receive the support of all business every father and mother and every good citizen We be- lieve that the vital made in the prepara tion of the pending ordinance in the inclusion of those regulatory features affecting the saloons of the various classes, wholesale liquor houses, tail houses hotel dining and restaurants, drug stores and all places where intoxicating liquors are sold served.
 Inasmuch these features intended to be permanent, they could not properly be part of an emergency In these occupations has been concealed the handspring of the opposition to ordi- nance No But for them believe there would have been referendum petitions circulated.
 If the commission should now without delay, enact these regulatory features, apart from the license tax feature, into separate ordinance, the work preparing a license ordinance emer- gency measure will be greatly simplified It will be guaranteed against another referendum movement. But if the same matter should be included in license ordinance the same interests which have created the agitation against ordinance No. would coverty attack it's successor.

The Water Wagon
By GEORGE FITCH Author of At Good Old Siwash"

The water wagon is very popular vehicle run ming principally between Poverty and Success It does enormous business but has never vet come under the control Of the interstate commerce com mission. This is because it has no rates doing q free business. In spite of this fact the jov car which is propelled by alcohol and which charges an enormous price. is a very formidable competitor although there have been on it's sys- tenn than any other line running between the two destinations.
 This Is because the water wagon is very uncom- fortabie, and is not fitted with many conven1ences Tor its passengers. Those who born on the water wagon and who have never gotten off of it ride it with very little difficulty the roughest roads, but the casual passenger would have success riding a peevish buffalo The water wagon does not stop for passengers, but be ascended while in full career without the aid ladders stairs, hand holds. ropes elevators. and riders must stick its smooth round back afterward with out strrups life lines. The terminal station of this celebrated vehicle is magncenty fitted up and
