Postmaster General Burleson
has ordered a20 per cent increase
in telegraph rates. Government
control is a great thing. When
more money is needed the rates
are raised with no heed to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
or any other power, and without
consideration of the rights of
the public. Under private own
ership, the government through
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, was always prying into
the affairs OF public corporations
to make continued reductions, and
they were encouraged in their
work by the people, who were
satisfied they were being robbed.
Now it is different. The gov
ernment has adopted the Van
derbilt slogan: the public be -

The passage of the Land Steal
Bill means that more than a hun
dred little stockmen in northern
Arizona will either be forced in
to bankruptcy, or be compelled
to sell out their holdings to the
big fellows at a price set by
them. 1t will not be much of a
strain on the intellect to figure
that the price will be but little
above confscation. Yet Gov.
Campbell, with these facts be.
fore him, allows the bill to be-
come a law without his sigma
ture. The republicans of Arizo.
ma can hardly feel proud of the
record made by their governor
in lodging his responsibility in
this matter.

ing that he would not interfere
with the passage Of their Land
Steal Bill. 1t is a custom of the
English parliament that when a
member votes against the eX-
pressed wishes of his constitu-
ents, he Immediately stands for
a re election on his acts. We
have a recall in this state, and
we believe now in all sincerity, it
should be applied to Mr.. Camp
bell, that the people may express
their approval or disapproval of
the course he has pursued in de-
liberately ignoring the mandates
of the people that the Land Steal
Bill was not wanted on our stat
ute books.
The legislators are equally cul-
pable, but they are simply the
fiotsam and jetsam of our eco
nomic political government who
like the glamour of public life,
and are willing to be the chattels
of the big interests for the empty
honor of basking in the smiles OF
wealth, and to recall them woulC
be only to return more of the
same kind. The governor is sup.
posed to be the one force to pre-
vent vicious legislation, and Wher
he fails in his duty the last hope
of popular government fails.

The Land Steal Bill provides
that person can lease state
land without limit for a period
not exceeding twenty years, and
the land commissioner is given
authority to give preference to
the party, in case of more than
one applicant, who in his judg-
ment has the best right to the
lease. 1t is very easy to see
where the little stockman gets
off, if the big fellow wants the
land. And the land commission
err will see to it that every time
a little fellow wants lease that
the big fellow in that particular
community is given notice to get
busy. The twenty-year clause
was so rank it threatened the
defeat of the bill, but honest"
Billy Mouer, quoting Dunbar's S
Weekly, hastened to the legisla-
ture to assure the members that
he would never, no never, con-
slider giving such a long time
lease. If he does not intend Civ
ing long time leases why did he
insist on keeping in the twenty
year provision. We will predict
just what will happen. When
the next legislature assemblies,
and there is indications that the
rotten law will be repealed, the
big cattlemen will hustle to get
twenty year leases on all the
state lands, and Mouer will be
right there busy on the job max
ing out the leases. That is the
kind of state government we
now have working in Phoenix
for the benefit of the people.

How many parents in this coun-
try want their boy put in the

We were always admonished
in our youth to speak respectfully
of the dead, but we Will be par
doned if we digress a bit in
speaking of the late election bill
passed by the legislature, and
vetoed by the Governor. The
democratic papers of the state
seem to think a great crime was
committed when the bill was
killed by the veto, so we took the
time to carefully peruse the doc
ument which was sent us, and if
it has a single provision of merit
in it we failed to make the dis
covery. Five pages of the bill
are devoted to regulating the or
ganization of the precinct, coun-
ty and state committees, desig-
mating just how many shall serve,
how they shall be selected, and
when they shall meet. A lot Of
senseless rot, in no way affect
ing the safeguarding of the pri-
mary or general election, but in
cluded simply to place in the
power Of the democratic major
ty in Arizona the right to die
tate how all political parties shall
be organized and managed. An
other pleasing little joker for the
benefit of crook ed election
boards, like the one now in the
famous Douglas No. l, is the
voting card, which would permit
the holder to vote in any state
wherever he happened to be by
making application for voting
card and an official ballot, which
must be approved by the recorder
from an examination of the great
register. In other words, if vo-
ter had severed all connection
with the state after he had his
name placed on the registration
list, and moved to some other
state where he would have no
right to vote for lack of sufficient
residence, he could mail his reg
istration card back to the record
er of the county where he form
erly resided, have an official bal
lot mailed to him, which he would
mark and return to the election
board to be counted. And this
is Mr.. Winsor's idea Of holding
an honest election. Taken alto
gether the real purpose of the
Winsor election bill was to deter
all decent citizens from aspiring
to a public office, and leave the
field to professional politicians
and political crooks.

Betrayed by the Governor.

tary Of State without his sigma
ture, he exhibited a moral cow
ardice we little thought tainted
his blood. His failure to sign the
bill does not relieve him from the
responsibility of being an active
party to foisting on the people of
the state the worst and most cor
rupt land law ever conceived by
the mind of man. Not only has
the Governor betrayed the little
stockmen into the hands of their
enemy, but he has proved false
to the tenents of the republican
party, of which he is supposed
to be the titular head, by repu-
dating the principle of equal
rights to all, and special favors
to none.
1t is no defense for Mr.. Camp
bell to claim he did not have time
to consider the bill, as he knew,
or ought to have known for the
past six months, all of its pro-
visions; and then again simple
glance at the last section of the
bill should have convinced him
the bill was corrupt in its incep-
ton, and it's passage was piece
of jobbery, depriving the people
of their right to hold up the bill
for a referendum vote before it
became effective. The last Sec
tion is as follows:
Whereas, an early operation
of this act is required to preserve
the public peace, health and safe
ty, an emergency IS hereby de-
clared to exist, and this act shall
be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and ap-
proval by the governor, and is
hereby exempted from the oper-
alton of the referdum provisions
of the state constitution.
That one section of the bill
marks it as a piece of jobbery,
as the reasons set out for deny
ing the referdum vote are known
to all as absolutely false in every
detail. The only hope for ref
erendum lays in the slim chance
that the supreme court might
hold, on appeal, that the failure
of the governor to sign the bill,
but allowed it to become law
without his signature, may in
validate the emergency clause
which provides that the bill shall
be approved by the governor.
Mr.. Campbell is the one man
in the state who should stand
steadfast on the principle that
the people should rule. Two
years ago he was elected COVER
nor Of this state by majority
vote of the people, but on a con-
test in the courts the will of the
people was overturned, and he
was ousted from office. Last fall
he was again a candidate for gov
ernor, and his whole campaign
was based on the one plea that
the will of the people expressed
at the polls two years before had
been unrighteously overturned
by the courts. His mournful
plants echoed down every can
yon and reverberated over all the
hills and plains of the state as he
pleaded for the rights of the peo-
pile as expressed at the polls, de-
crying with bitter invective the
multiplying of the expressed will
of the people.
At this same election last fall
when Mr.. Campbell was made
the choice of the people, the
Land Steal Bill was submitted to
the voters for their approval, and
they rejected it by as large a ma
jority as was given Mr.. Camp
bell. And at the first opportuni-
ty Mr. Campbell overturns the
expressed will of the people by
permitting the Land Steal Bill to

the choice of the people, the
Land Steal Bill was submitted to
the voters for their approval, and

ty Mr. Campbell overturns the

but if a crime was committed
when the court by positive action
overruled the people and declar-
ed Mr.. Campbell was not entitled
to his seat as governor, certainly
it was as great crime when Mr..
Campbell sits passively in his Of
fee and permits the will of the
people to be overruled by his neg
ative action.
The only reasonable explana-

big stock interests of the state
contributed heavily to finance his
campaign, with the understand
