the Burton matter with the latess
developments in that. To present
the whole matter "The Oasis" will
repeat In part adding the sisw mat
ter.
In his Flagstaff speech Governo
Campbell asserted that J. II Moeu: !,
son of Land Commissioner W. A
Moeur. had been paid $4,000 as an
attorney to secure land lease
which the client could not get until
the younger Moeur had been paid
that sim. The younger Moeur de-
mande1 of Campbell Through a
open letter in the Arizona Repub.
ican) the name of his Informant.
In another open letter in the Repu5-
lican campbell stated that George
Burton a cattleman was his in
formant, and the sum alleged paid
was $1,000. Burton was 1"t OF the
state in Texas. Upon his return Bull
lard met him in Phoenix, and Burton
informed Billiard that he lad never
paid the younger Moeur $4,000 or
81 GOO, nor hal he ever alleged to
Tom Campbell that he had done so.
In a speech at Prescott Tuesday
evening said Mr.. Billiard Tom Camp
bell had renewed the statement, and
having heard of Burton's denial he
said that ne had been informed by
another that Burton had said SO; and
Mr.. Billiard, Doctor E. B. Perrin,
whom Mr.. Billiard characterized a.
"a man who had grabbed 100000
acres of land in Arizona before the
Land Board ever existed, and was
angry now at the board because il
had refused him p lease for 10000
acres more" arose in the audience
and stated that he was Cempbell's
informant, he having been informed
by Burton himself that he Tad paid
young Moeur the money charged for
the lease. Wednesday Mr. Moeur
entered suit against Campbell for
damages in the sum of $30, 1000 for
libel; and yesterday mornings Ari-

SATURDAY, OCTOBER .. 1872
BIG CROWD HEAR TALK AT
LRYIC LAST NIGHT

Yesterday evening a large as !.
semblage of citizens of Santa Cruz
county gathered at the Lyric Theatre
to hear discussed the political issues
of the day by Hon. Marcus A. Smith,
senior u. S. senator from Arizona,
George Purdy Billiard Est. and a
numbe~ of the state candidates,
including Judge A. G. Mcalister OF
Graham county, Democratic nominee
for Supreme Court justice; Loren
Vaughn, candidate for Corporation
Commissioner; Frank Luke, nominee
for Tax Comm; ssioner.... A G. Peter
son, candidate for Superintendent of
Pubic instruction; P. ]. Munch, nom
inee for State Auditor.
Col. Charles E. Hardy presided,
and. beside speakers and candidates
the platform was occupied by Judge
J. N. Wikley, Capt. L. w. MIX,
James A. Harrison, ]. A. Legarra.
Senator Smith was the first
speaker introduced and he held tie
attention of the audience with clear
cut elucidation of national issues,
dwelling a. length upon an master
ly presentation of the League Of Ma.
tons, Republican partisanship in a,
unholy effort to defeat one of the
greatest instruments framed for
peace and liberty since British barons
forced King John to sign Magn'.
Chart2.
Mr.. Smith gave attention also to
matters before Congress purely Ari-
conan in application and operation
including reclamation and irrigatlo,
projects, forest reserves, etc., demon
strating Democratic vigilance in car
ing for such matters and the pars
he had taken therein, pledging q con.
tinuance of the good work.
aThe chief address of the evenin;'
was bv George Billiard ESQ.,, of Phoa
nix, one of the leading lawyers of
the state; who presented scathing
ANALYSIS of the inconsistency,
duplicity and general unfairness OF
the iscues raised by Governor Camp
bell against the State Land Board
of which he is ex-offlcio chairman,
participant in all its deliberations and
operations, which he now assails on
the hustings, while the proper place
and time to have assailed them was
when the offences charged were be-
fore the board, and there prevented
their contamination.
First he gave attention to the fact
that the policy Of the Land Board is
governed by the act of 1919. which
Campbell criticises now, but which
he permitted to become q law, when
it was h:s duty to interpose . veto
If he deemed it vicious, as he says
now.
Next Mr.. Purdy gave voice to an
assertion that in the present term.
both Governor Campbell and hi.
Democratic opponent, Nit Simms,
being members of the Land Board.
Campbell and S1mms have voted to-
gether upon all questions before the
board, including all land l,ases.
Mr.. Billiard traversed other state
ments of Governor CAMPBELL, with
regard to land leases by the State
Board, in much the same WY as has

side and a railroad on the other. The
property owners asked the contractor
to erect a bridge, but he seemed loath
to do so.
Then Louis Pearl and Jack Jenkins,
owners of a garage, asked permission
Of the state inspector to build the
bridge. The permission was granted.
Pearl and Jenkins interested William
Buckley, Of the Kunkle Coal Co., and
g. w. Geyer, Of the Millbourne Mills.
These men, with twenty employees,
started work yesterday afternoon, and
at 5 80 o'clock the bridge was open for
traffic. Trucks, as well as smaller cars,

the service Of public utility by deny
ing 1t adequate revenue would be to
violate the state constitution.
1T was apparently assumed by the
Public Service Commission that the
doctrine of these cases was broad
enough to justify II in ignoring the
1907 contract. That the assumption
is warranted is not universally con-
coded

1.-THE complaint Of the United Busi-

pealed from the Public Service COMMITS =
sion TO the Superior Court, which mas

complaint, in substance. alleges that the
underlying companies are RECEIVING ex-
cessiye rentals, and asks the commits =
properties for the purpose of deter
mining the rates TO be charged the pub
lie by the underlying companies, or by
their agents or lessees, for the service
actually being furnished for public use
Whether the proceedings before the
commission had reached the stage a,
which they could be appealed from, ant
whether the underlying companies ar
public service corporations 'doint
business within the intent Of the pub
lie service company law, are the prin
cipal issues in the Superior Court.
ITO the lay mind it will be inter
esting to learn from the courts th'
answer to the question Is 1t permissi'

the underlying companies are conduct
ing their business in such a manne
as TO infringe the general well being o
