Sions of Arizona's Prosperity

Many and multiplying the signs of pros perity in Arizona. There are two essential factors of the prosperity of a community. One is the con fidence of the community in itself, and the other is the confidence of outsiders in it. most gratify- ing sign of the latter is found in the avdity with which capital is taking Arizona municipal securi- ties This sign has been especially manifest in the last ten days in the sales of municipal bonds. It is q sign also of the steady improvement of the finan- cial condition throughout the country. Among the sales more recently made the following:
 Two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars of the Phoenix city bonds to F. H. Rollins X Son of Denver; Chicago and New York These bonds run from twenty forty years, draw interest at per cent and sold at a premium of $5,SS5.
 Last week $l65,OOO issue of Tucson water works bonds running thirty years. for per cent. to the Harris Trust te Savings bank of Chicago, of the conservative of the bonding houses, at a premium of s2,O95; and the Tucson school district $l5OOO of twentyyear per cent. bonds to the same company for premium of $2,S39.
 The city of Prescott last week sold James N Wright & Co of Denver and Chicago $950OO ten and twenty-year 51a per cent. school bonds at premium of s1521; and Mesa has recently sold the Mesa City bank S9O,OOO worth of 5A per cent school bonds, running twenty years par
 It is further gratifying to note that other western state is today selling it's municipal bonds on such favorable basis that which the Ari Zona bonds have been disposed of.
 There is thing that might be done that would perhaps make the securities of Maricopa county sell favorably and that is to range has been arranged in the of the municipal issues of Phoenix Tucson and Prescott to have the interest payable at appointed place in the east instead of at home. This would make the Maricopa county bonds somewhat more salable and would assist the board of supervisors in getting a better premium; but legislative action to give them this authority would probably have to be secured.

All That is Necessary

Nothing can be more certain that good govern ment will prevail in Phoenix s a result of the ap preaching elections if there is large attendance at the polls. The only thing. feel that is neces sary it is get out the vote. There is, we believe no need of doing any other work; that it is not necessary any further to point out the desrability of centerng upon a commission ticket composed of Messrs Cope, Dameron Diehl and Goodrich The people will do that anyhow. The great majority of the voters, sure, if they give expression at all will express themselves favor ably to the members of this ticket men who are unramnieled and in every way fit to give an ideal government. All need to do is to secure full expression of the people We must get out the vote
 We are not understanding the strength of the secret organization, which MT. Adams is the head it's well-oiled machinery; the expert work of MT Creighton his leutenants in lining up the supporters of the secret ticket, and of the raw work of the Arizona in trying to stampede and scatter such voters as are known to be op- posed to the rule of MT. Adams those who are not known be favorable to recurrence, in an aggravated form the Adams regime from which the city has been free years.
 We believe that MT. Creighton knows within fifty how many ballots will be cast for the Adams ticket next Wednesday. The number may be regarded fixed and definite. No amount of work can increase it beyond that number and that number is far below majority of all the qualified voters The success of the ring ticket depends upon keeping many possible away from this polls and scattering widely possible the strength of voters who known to be Adams voters.

The liberality and impartiality of friend. the Arizona Gazette, passeth understanding, looking at it way, but from another point of view it is exceedingly narrow. In it's instructions to voters night following partial list of the candidates, advises it's readers to for candidates for mayor and eight for commissioners. That's liberal, not liberal impartial enough. Here is some discrimination. Why vote for only two candidates for mayor while there four in the field and limit the election eight candidates for commissioner when there twenty in the running? It pains us, also that the Gazette, in spite of it's intense desire to have everybody voted for. omitted the name of J. w. Stacy from the list of it's favorite candidates. This is unfair

 The ringing note throughout the speeches was the need of active work bring the vote. It was made clear that times have changed with the change of government.
