another. The bill passed the
House and came to the Senate,
where Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker, of Ohio, encouraged
and aided by the then Delegate
from Arizona, MARCUS A. SMITH,
now United States Senator, the
wisest and most experienced
statesman of the Southwest, con-
Quoted a determined contest
with Senator Beveridge. The
Beveridge bill passed the Senate
with the Foraker amendment"
which provided that the vote of
Arizona and New Mexico, count
ed separately, should determine
whether they were to be admitted
as one State. Under this amend
ment Arizona found refuge, and
at the elections in 1906, by a large
majority, refused to link her c.es-
tiny with another community,
An enabling act authorizing the
admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as separate States was
passed by Congress and approved
by President Taft on June 70,
1910. The constitutional convea-
tion assembled in October of that
year, and after a session of 60
days framed a constitution, which
was ratified in February of the
succeeding year by nearly four
,fifths majority of those voting.
Congress by joint resolution
'of August 81, 1911, agreed to ad-
NIT Arizona if the judicial recall
provision were eliminated from
proposed constitution, which was
done by the voters at the general
elections held in the following
December.
On February Ia, 1912. Presi-
dent Taft issued his proclamation
declaring Arizona admitted as a
State, and on the same day
George w. P. Hunt. president
of the constitutional convention,
was inducted into the office of
governor.

government for the Territory of
Arizona. Through the vicissi-
tudes of government, Arizona
was organized as a Territory by
the Congress of the Confederate
States a year before the Con-
gress of the United States erect
ed the Union Territory, and was
occupied during the Civil War by
a force of Confederates from
Texas, who were driven out by
the Federal troops entering from
California in 1868.
The civil government of the
Union Territory was formally
set up at Navajo Springs in 1868;
hence the capital may be said to
have been once at Navajo
Springs. 1t was at Prescott from
1863 to 1867; at Tucson from 1867
to 1877; again at Prescott from
1877 to 1889, when it was perma-
nently located at Phoenix. AL
most Immediately upon the erec-
ton of the Territory the question
of Statehood was agitated. Such
a bold and dominant vanguard Of
American pioneers would not
long permit their new home to
remain in posture of vassalage
and dependency. Moreover, the
Territorial government was set
up by men of large ability and
high ambition. The first. Dele
gate to Congress, Charles D.
Poston, born in Hardin County,
KY, in 1925, was a brilliant ora
tor and charming reconteur.
The efforts of the people of the
Territory to obtain statehood
have at times been marked by
disagreement between the peo-
pie of the territory and the Fed
eral Government. A constitu-
tion was framed in 1891, and un-
doubtedly Arizona would have
been admitted into the Union at
that time, except that the Ari-
zonans were unwilling to elimi-
nate from their proposed State
constitution a provision that sill
yer and gold should be standard
of legal tender.
In 1903 statehood was defeated
by a filibuster led by the able
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana,
who with other Senators, talked
to death" what was known as
the omnibus statehood bill, pro-
viding separate statehoods for
Arizona and New Mexico. In
the following Congress, Senator
Beveridge obtained committee
approval in both Houses for his
plan of uniting Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one State
and Arizona and New Mexico as

1F we today lived IN colony, ground
down by unjust laws, our passion

ically burning If Washington had
failed, had died in vain for the cause
which in fact he brought to lasting tri-
umph-then for poor sentimental hu-
manity he would shine with a luster
greater than. now is his, writes Joyce
Kilmer in the New York times. His
cause triumphed; the dream Secame

Of the dream. Washington, dying on
his bed, in his honored old age, his
hopes realized, is noble figure. But
he lacks the dramatic appeal Of Wash
ington bidding farewell to his children
at the foot of the gallows.
BY some strange perversity Of hui
man nature the cause we consider ro-
mantle and picturesque is always a
Lost Cause. The names most deeply
loved are those of the fallen leaders
whose partisans met with defeat
Robert Bruce and Robert Emmett, Will

that "fair and fatal king" Charles 1,
and his prosecuted and uncrowned
heirs. Children Of Union soldiers
though we may be, our hearts beat
more quickly at the thought of Lee
than at the thought of Grant. We rise
when the band plays "The Star-Span-

when 1t plays 'Dixie."
And it must also be acknowledged
that a tragic death endears states
man to the generations that follow
him. If you are a great leader and
want to be sure of posterity's affection,
see that your cause fails. Then the
conquerors will legislate against the
honoring of your memory, and that
will make your fame secure. But II
your cause succeeds, then at least see
that your death is sudden and violent.

Washington triumphed. At York
town he captured Corvallis redcoats
and put an end to tyranny on our
shores. 1t is not forbidden to honor
his memory; the wearing Of the red,
white, and blue is attended by no per-
lis. And so we take things for grant
ed; we forget the hideous dangers
through which we passed only some
hundred and two-score years ago; We
take for granted our nationality, our
freedom, and the fearless warrior, the
enlightened statesman who gave them
to us. When we speak Of Washington

zona, was printed in the Congress
sional Record. January IA, 1919;
Despite their history as pred
atory savages, the Navajo are
in general jovial, intelligent. and,
as Indians go, industrious and
capable. They have an ample
vocabulary. a complex grammar,
an elaborate religious system,
and hundreds Of songs.
Arizona is the premier copper
mining state; it produces annual
ly one-third of the copper output
of the United States, being about
one-sixth of the entire world out
put. The value of the States
copper production for the year
1918 was over $500, 900, 900, while
the annual output of gold, silver,
lead, and zinc aggregated $13,-
100000
The total value of crops raised
in Arizona for the agricultural
year of 1918 is $50, 900, 600, and
of this crop long-stapie cotton
furnished a value Of, $l4, 900, 600.
That portion of Arizona, ex-
elusive of the Gadsden purchase,
was formally ceded by Mexico to
the United States in 184S by the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The Gadsden purchase, con-
summated in 1854. added "a, $40
square miles to the Territory's
domain.
Immediately after the Gads-
den purchase, increasing num-
bers of Americans, from the
stream of immigrants to Cali
fornia, began to make permanent
homes in the Territory. These
pioneers possessed the vision and
energy of State builders and the
spirit of Crusaders. As early as
1856 the settlers in Arizona Pc

Delayed Applications
of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton on railways and consequent delays
to shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
pied to the crop at time of planting
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
"a late application of fertilizer as a
side-dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
to make the delayed fertilizer applica-
tipn in this way than to attempt to
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, or
With less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conservcs farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz-
cr with the least possible amount of
labor, but at such time, and in such
n way, as TO make it most effective.

A RAILROAD SOLUTION.

Hon. Charles A. Prouty of Vermont
director of the division of public serv-
ice of the United States Railroad adj
ministration, in letter to the chair
man of the senate interstate commerce
committee, Senator Cummins, offers sug-
gestions for a partial solution of the
railroad problem. The many years of
able service a. a member of the inter
state commerce commission and later
as Il member of the committee making
a physical valuation of the railroads of
the country certainly qualify Mr..
Prouty as a railroad export
"The government must establish the
rate, that is, the measure of compensa-
tion, while the private individual must
furnish the service is the recommended
ton of Mr.. Prouty. He also says there
must be government supervision of rail
road securities but does not attempt to
define the supervision.
For fixing the rate of service Mr..
Irouty suggests that the interstate com
meree commission determine the value
of railroads and establish rates that, will
guarantee reasonable return upon the
government valuation of the properties
The rates cannot be varied to make all
the railroad properties paying propo-
stion. To fix rates that would make Ger
tain lines of road dividend paying
properties would make the rates prohi-
bitive to the people dependent upon
those lines for transportation. To avoid
this he would make the uniform rates
high enough SO the best paying roads
could make more than a six per cent
dividend and the excess of six per cent
divided with the government and the
nonpaying railroads. Of this sugges-
ton Mr.. Prouty says:
The amount of this return ought not
to be prescribed. In the nature of
things it cannot be the same upon the
value of all carriers. To establish rates
which would yield given return (sav
q per cent? upon the value of the most

the public too high transportation
charge, while upon the other hand. to
maintain rates so low as to Weld only
an adequate return upon the value Of
the most fortunate carriers, would be
extremely unjust to its less favored
competitors The rates should produce
an adequate return upon the aver
age value affected by them
The wisdom of this must be evident
to ALL but the difficulty of perfeeting
the details of such an agreement is as
generally recognized The greatest
merit of Mr.. Prouty's suggestions is
that he believes railroad property
should be made attractive to capital.
the roads self supporting and the pub
lie fully protected from excessive rates
and over capitalization Of railroad cor
porations That is the attitude of all
reasonable citizens but they do not pos-
sess the ability to work out such de-
sirable plan. If any man in the coun-
try has the ability to work out the plan.
Mr.. Prouty has and congress will act
wisely if it appeals to him to help it in
framing law that VIII put the rail
roads upon a stable basis, Just both to
them and to the public.
