completed, has opened on time and
has opened successfully an exposi

opening came as many visitors as
the city had inhabitants six years
ago, yet San Diego handled the
crowds without mishap.
These crowds went home bubbling
with enthusiasm, oVerf1owing with
the beauty of the Spanish city they
had beheld. These visitors are the
beginning of an endless chain They
are urging their friends to go, and
these friends, upon their return,
will urge others to see the enchanted
city of the conquistadores. Even
before the installation of the exhibits
was finished San Diego's exposition
more than satisfied the expectation
of the first visitors Therefore San
Diego's exposition will be successful.
The Panama California Exposition
will keep open twelve full months.
Every month the wealth of its bios

VETOES IMMIGRATION BILL

President Wilson vetoed the i'm
migration bill. In his message to
congress, the president stated that
he vetoed the bill for two reasons:
Because the measure seeks to all but
close the gates of asylum without
regard to character, purpose or
natural capacity of immigrants and
because the literacy test constitutes
a radical change in the policy of the
nation on which the people have not
recorded their views.
The president declared that the
new tests embodied in the bill are
not tests of quality or character, but
tests of opportunity, adding, Those
who come seeking opportunity are
not to be admitted unless they al
ready had one of the chief oppor-
tunities they seek--the opportunity
of education" The president held
that the people have not given a
mandate on this matter and that no

CLARIDGE FIGHTS HARD

Senator Claridge put up good
fight on the Bacon mine tax bill and
called attention to the unfairness of
the bill in discriminating in favor of
the mines.
In reporting the discussion on the
bill in the senate, Dunbar's Weekly
says:
Senator Claridge, of Graham,
next addressed the Senate, to the
writer's mind, making the most
forceful speech yet heard in the
Legislature. He said it was unfair
for the mining men to prepare law
governing the taxation of mines.
l would not approve of farm
taxation law written by farmers or
stock taxation law written by
cattlemen,' said the gentleman from
Graham. 1t is obvious that Ger
tain industry will be little more
than fair when legislating for itself,
and little unfair to the balance of
the people,
He further called attention o the
fact that the assessments of the pro
ducing mines were to be based on
the gross and net earnings for a
year. What will happen in the
event that any of our big mines
close down for a year? A strike, a
fire or business depression might
close any one or all of the big mines
in the State, and Arizona would be
deprived of all this revenue. The
value would still be in the ground
to be taken out by the owners when
ever possible, but it would be paying
no taxes to the State He said
that farming was a greater business
risk than mining, and, this being
true, asked wherein the justice lay
in exempting mines from their bur-
den of taxation in leap business
years, but still compelling all the
other industries of the State to pay
their full proportion"
Graham guardian., 1915-02-05
A BAD PRECEDENT

Undoubtedly, the provisions of
the "Old Age and Mothers Pension
Law" would have worked much
hardship in every county of the
State if carried out and something
had to be done to preserve the rights
of the people to help the worthy
sick and poor in their community.
Probably the best way would have
been to let the Supreme Court de
eide the question as to the constitu-
tionality of the law. whether it re-
ceived the required number of votes
to make it law, of which there is
some doubt, instead of the State
Senate deliberately setting aside the
constitutional amendment passed by
the people at the November election
which prohibited the Legislature
from interfering with initiative and
referendum legislation and repealed
the law by substituting a new act.
There is no question but that the
"Old Age and Mothers Pension
Law" as passed by the people, was
very worrisome proposition to our
legislators and they probably took
the shortest way out by setting the
law aside, but in doing so they have
established a precedent that may
work great harm in the future.

FOREST NOTES
rSA~eAe%e~sN~N%S

The timber industry represents 81
per cent of the annual production of
wealth in British Columbia.
Boxmakers in the United States
use more than four and half billion
board feet of lumber each year or
more than one-tenth of the entire
lumber cut of the country.
Of two million sheep annually
grazed in the state of Utah, more
than a million are on the national
forests, or, including lambs which
are fattening for market on the
forest ranges, over a million and
three-quarters.
In addition to his own fire detec-
ton system, the supervisor of the
Palisade national forest, Idaho, was
notified of each fire by from five to
Ten different local settlers, who thus
showed their co operation in working
for fire suppression.
The Uinta mountains of Utah, in
GUIDED within the Wasatch, Uinta
and Ashley national forests, should
become favorite recreation region,
because of the many small lakes
within depressions scooped out by
glacial drifts. Seventy such lakes
can be counted from Reds peak,

GOOD ADVICE


tax bill, Dunbar's Weekly says:
Sometimes burned child breads
the fire. This holds good in the
case of children, but evidently the
Arizona corporations like returning
to the blaze in which they were once
badly scorched. The mining cor
porations of Arizona, overlooking
the record of the past three years
wherein a wrathful public, after
years of corporation domination,
arose in its wrath and enacted many
laws and constitutional enactments
that had better never been passed.
But it was only case of the worm
turning and now that this ill-timed
force has been spent and the political
madness has about passed, along
come our mining corporations and
seek to rekindle the flame into
veritable blaze by the enactment of
a mining tax law that the public
will not stand for. The Senate may
pass the Bacon tax bill. but just
take it from us, it will never ecome
law of this State, and we warn the
men who are pushing it that they
are again rekindling the flame that
swept over this State and did incalu-
able harm to every citizen. The
tide is fast turning back to decent
conservatism, and if these companies
would exercise little common sense
they would aid in the good work in
stead of trying to put over the tax
paying public law that is grossly
unjust and improper.
The editors of this magazine be-
lieve in good government, in fair
play and exact justice, not only for
corporations, but for the general
public as well. This is our attitude
now as it always has been in the
past, and we warn these mining cor
porations that they are not acting
the part of wisdom in trying to force
this undesirable tax law upon the
people of this State. They had bet
ter let we'll enough alone; let the
tax commission that fixes the values
on every mans property also fix the
values on mines. Do it, gentlemen,
even if you get slightly the worst of
it in the transaction. First, because
you cannot possibly pass this bill;
second, if you could enact it, it
would be the most disastrous act of
your lives. You would put every
farmer in Arizona, most of the cattle
and sheep men and the small tax
payers everywhere in the State
against you, and the law would not
only be repealed by the people, but
the election following would revive
all the undesirable feeling and pref
udice of the past four years. We
suggest to the corporations that they
heed this timely warning. 1t comes
from a source that is friendly to
every legitimate enterprise in Ari-
zona and one that is interested only
in the public good. Should this bill,
by any force of circumstances be en-
acted into law, there are not enough
votes in the Legislature to equip it
with the emergency clause and as a
result it would be Immediately sub
jected to the referendum. This
would result in a mighty ugly cam
paign, one that ought not to be in
dulged in at time when the public
conscience is at rest and people are
looking forward to better things"
