Large, sunny rooms; ample hygienic dietary. You will find our bath and
treatment rooms neat, clean and well equipped for hydropathic and electrical
treatments, including electric and electric light baths, general and local; mas
sage, salt glows, sprays, etc. .
On account of the many calls coming to us from those suffering with the
various lung troubles, and as we have not in the pat and do not care to ac
cept such cases in "The Sanitarium," we have secured the old Lomas Park
place which is beautifully situated six miles from town, on th- Tempe road,
and havefitted it up with new houses and facilities for the care of such cases.
This place is high and dry and has plenty of good water. Our prices are rea
sonable, and no extra charges for physician's call two or three times per week.
Will be ready to receive patients October 10, 1906.

THE FIGURES

What Would
Happen to Arizona in
Case of Jointure.
To the Editor of The Republican
Sir: I have read with interest and sat
isfaction your editorial in today's paper
concerning the public debts of Arizo
na and New Mexico.
It is said that figures will not lie; it
is also said that they may be so lied
about that the effect is as deceptive as
if the1 figures themselves could be
guilty of falsehood. Nop a little lying
has been done by the advocates of
joint statehood on the question of
New Mexican obligations, antl your
truthful statements of the facts are
timely. I observe that some of the New
Mexican papers copy with much satis
faction the statements made by the
one or two joint statehood papers of Ar
izona relative to the debts of the two
territories, which make the comparison

invidious to Arizona, and clearly and
impliedly attempt to deceive the peojdc
of both territories.
The extent of the debt of New Mex
ico is of 110 concern to us, unless there
should be joint statehood. If there
should be joint statenooi, tnen we 01
Arizona are directly interested in Z
knowing what may be the amount of ! w
the debt not only of Arizona, but of
New Mexico, that wauld have to be
sumed by the new state, and we are
also interested in knowing in what
proportion the two territories will have
to contribute to the payment of those
debts.
It may be conceded, for the purpose
of the argument, that the debt for
which New Mexico, as a territory, is i
liable is as represented by the travel
ing auditor of that territory namely,
$741,335.61.
The admitted bonded indebtedness
of the counties of New Mexico is by the
same authority, stated to be $2,S16.473.
The traveling auditor of New Mexico
does not include in his statement of
the indebtedness of the counties of that
territory the lloating debts of those
counties, suet as outstanding militia
warrants,, of which there are large
amounts nor the repudiated bonds is-
sued to encourage railway construe-
tion, which amount to sums that no of- j
ficial authority has attempted to stant.
Nor is there included in that official
statement the bonded indebtedness of
cities, towns and school districts of
New Mexico. That they aggregate
great sums is easily demonstrable.'
But let us Ignore for the present the
existence of any other public indebted
ness of New
Mexico than that set forth j
in the traveling auditor's statement.

the two territories, it is unfair to in
clude in the statement of . Arizona's
debt the county and municipal indebt
edness, and not do the same with' that
of New Mexico. If they are to be left
out of the comparison in the one case
they should be left out of the other.
Therefore, the statement will have to
stand, one of two ways: Kither a state-
ment of the debt strictly territorial in j
both instances, or including in both the
county and municipal debts. ;
Practically, Arizona has assumed the I
indebtedness of her counties and mu- I

it was not in urred for territorial pur-
oses. But territorial bonds have been
issued therefor to enable the counties
and municipalities to get the benefit
of a lower interest rate, the counties
and municipalities reimburse the terri
tory by remitting the interest on this
indebtedness to the territorial treas
urer. So far. New Mexico has not adopted
wou
method. but. that the system
ould be adopted by the new state so
far as present indebtedness of all coun-
I ties, cities, towns and school districts
are concerned, is not open to question.
I Taking them, the bonded, debt of the
territories, counties, and so forth, the
, comparative statement stands:
! New Mexico $3,557.808.G1
'; Arizona .S3.123.275.2!
New Mexico's debt exceeding-Arizona's
by $134,533.33

' Arizona is returned at $63,000,000.00
Of New Mexico it is .. . . $43.0nO,0oO.OO
A difference of $20.u00.000.0
i There is some talk that New Mexico
: possesses much greater wealth than
Arizona. If so, why does it not appear
' on the tax rolls? As a matter of fact, it
' does not exist. For the payment of
' public debts, the only wealth that can
be considered is that which gets on the
assessment rolls.
In New Mexico the amount of debt
on each $!") of taxable property is
J8.S9; in Arizona the amount is $l.!t.

:l I Jf the two
more than half of that of
territories are joined
to
form one state, and that
state as-
sumes the above
obligations, which
aggregate $6, SS 1.083.90, the proportion
of indebtedness for each $10U of tax
able property will be $6.30.
The New Mexicans will save the dif
ference between their present indebt
edness, which for each $100 is $8.89.
and the proportion under jointure,
which would be $6.30, ' a clear gain
of $2."o on each $100 of debt for the
1 New eMxicans.
j The Arizonians, on the other hand,
; would have their obligations increased
i from the present amount of $4.96 for
! each $100 of assessed valuation, to
' $6.30. which by that simple process
. would increase the burden of the public
debt on Arizona by $1.34 for each $10''
of taxable property,
j If the Taxable property of Arizona
increases, just in that proportion will
the New Mex.eans be further relieved
of, and the Arizonians further charg
ed with, the public indebtedness

the new state have to assume the coun-

should start off charged with the coun-

vonn nn.J not charged
with the like
debts of New Mexico, the 66 delegates
of New Mexico as against the 44 dele
gates of Arizona in the constitutional
Convention could and of course would
enforce the assumption ofy that debt
by the new state.
nd right here is brught to play the
nettifogging quibbling of some who
have written and spoken on this sub
ject. The jointist or the anti-jomtist
who deliberately advocates that the
county, municipal and school indebted
ness should not and cannot be charged
to the new state is simply dishonest.
It has been suggested, that the en
abling act (the joint statehood bill)
prohibits this. No, reputable lawyer
nor any intelligent layman will ven
ture any such opinion. ,The joint
statehood bill contains no such prohi
bition or limitation, nor any language
that could be so interpreted. The lan
guage of the joint statehood bill rela
tive to the assumption of debts is as
follows: ,
"That the debts and liabilities of
said territory of Arizona and of said
territory of New Mexico shall ba as
sume!? and paid by said state, and
that said state shall be subrogated to
all rights of indemnity and reimburse
ment which either of said territories
now has."
It does not require n lawyer to fc
that this provision imposes an obliga
tion, and contains neither expressly
nor implicitly any limitation or pro
hibition of further voluntary assump
tion of obligations.
In other words, we must assume llv
debts and liabilities of the two terri
tories, and there is not a word of lim
itation or phohibition against the as-
j sumption of the county, municipal and
I school indebtedness of either territo-
ry, and the refunding of the same by
! the issue of state bonds of Arizona.
That very thing would be done, just as
j the local indebtedness in Arizona has
I been assumed and refunded by the h:-
sue of territorial bonds, and which
would be assumed and paid for by thf
I new state.
The constitutional convention au
( thorized by the joint statehood 1-ii'
would have the unquestionable right
' to insert in th constitution of the pro
J rosed state, a provision that the coun
' ty. municipal and school indebtedness
of New Mexico shall be refunded by the
' new state. That that convention
will
I tin ;f 1 ttAtu i nhsnlnTelv cei'tain.
And Arizona, if so disposed, could not
j help it. for it has but 44 delegates in
I that convention against 66 from New
! Mexico.
And even ifit were not in the con
stitution, the legislature of the new
state could refund the countj, muni
cipal and school indebtedness of Ne'
Mexico and make it a state charpe.
Anybody who believes this would no:
be done is too credulous to wt'ste time
with.
! We in Arizona, then, are directly in-
f4 I terested in the amount of the indebt-
but all the indebtedness that exists in
New Mexico. It is admitted that the
bonded indebtedness of her counties
amounts to $2.S16,473. How much more
is there of it?
