ANOTHER STEP FOR
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
At the Joint meeting held in Bis
be Wednesday night by members of
the Warren District Commercial club
and the Business lien's Protective
association another step was taken in
the matter of a commission form of
government for this city. A Joint
committee to be composed of the two
organizations wsa provided and the
duty of this "committee will be to
gather all lwsslble -information cen-j
cernlng; the new,system of municipal
government study results whore 'it
has been put in operation, study the
present conditions in Bisbce and fin
ally report as to what advantages
could be expected in this city by the
proposed change in the form of our
local government
During the joint meeting it was
made plain that the movement was
not originated, nor is not to" be under?
stood at a criticism or protest against
any act of our present city govern
ment, but comes solely from a desire
to look closely Into the advantages
offered by the commission form of
goveimment provided by our state
constitution with a view of substitut
ing that plan if It shall be found de
sirable. ",7 "Tr"'P
Those who have closely watched
municipal commission government
since it wa first adopted in the City
of Galveston claim that it has re
setted in j-conomy and more efficient
public curvice tnd that it has also
:argely taken the local government
away from politics and put it more
on a business basis
With a commission form cf govern-
ment inll-.bce the people would elect!
a commission of three or five, as de
eded on :i' these three men would
have sole direction of the affairs oti
the city These men would act as a
board of directors acts for an incor
porated company, they would employ
all the U-'m requlrtd to look after
tie streets, the clerical work, the po
lice service. ete, and all these em
ployes would be subject to discharge
at the will of the commission. The
commission would alone be responsl
tie to jhe public for existing condi
dltions and Its members would ba sub
ject fV the recall provided by the
constitution of- the state.
As stated In a previews article
physical condition In Blsbee makes
the matter of city governrasnt a task
of greater proportions than the aver
age, one and also more expensive, so
that if It i found that the commission
govgrastfBt has been baneflcial at
otfcor pUcos then we should unhest
tatiBgly say that it should be desir
able here.

as not to be annoyed by what con
gress may do with respect to duties.
If this is so. it is a very satisfactory
condition of things. Such explana
tions, however, are somewhat too
sweeping. Whaf.is evident Is that the
country is 'producing enormous crops
and that the export demand for our
gcods Is phenomenally strong in al
most all lines. With these condi
tions prcvaHfag and a very satisfao
tory degree of vitality on. the part of
the banks. It ivould naturally be hard
for thrrats of hostile legislation to
break down the real prosperity which
is automatically developing Itself in
spite of ever' hostile attack."
There has never been a national
campaign In recent years
as so little disturbance of tho bus
iness Interests of tho country and
yet the campaign Is being waged with
the tariff as the predominating Issue.
Heretofore the republicans have been
able to alarm ihe country by crying
out about what would happen to
business should 'the democrats bo per
mitted to Interfere with tho repub
lican policy of tariff protection.
But now it is different and wo And
many of the big industrial captains
of tho country denouncing protection
with as much rigor as the over-burdened
consumer. The people of this
country have at last had the truth
regarding tariff Tinjtectlon stamped
in their minds after years -of educa
tion and study and they are deter
mined that this kind of governmental
favoritism must stop and it is agreed
that this legislation will be forthcom
ing regardless of who is elected pres
ident The present congress is on
record as Tavoing a reduction pf
harmful tariff duties and while Presi
dent Taft was able to kill several
measures during the past year by the
veto the sentiment faioring an hon
est downward revision Is growing so
rapidly throughout the country that
in the next congress there will bo no
further danger of having tariff legis
lation interferred with by the presi
dent The people today favor the demo-
at!c position on the tariff and that
is where the growing strength of the
party lies An honest downward re
vision of the tariff ic the most pro
gressive Issue before the reople to
day, if progrcssivlsm means relieving
the people of heavy tax burdens and
destroying, the old republican system
of favoritism.

BEWILDERING
THE VOTERS. "
At tho election next month the vot
ers of O.eon will have submitted
to them under the initiative or refer
endum, :hirty-Jght distinct measures.
The pamphlet containing a statement
of these measures, with the argu
ment for an dngalnst them, has bee-i
fnt out under the law, to some 100,-
000 loters. It has 200 well-packed
pages, aTOUntlDg to 125,000 words.
On each of these thirty-eight meas
ures eacu voter Is, In theory, sup
posed to t rn- a definite opinion from
the argur.iM ts submitted, or from olh
cr sour -cs of knowledge. In add Hon,
he must irekn up his mind which ot
the many candidates running for of
flees, Najonal, State, county, city or
town, ar.3 test fitted for tr.e pl.vccs
to which they aspire. It will le a
to"gh job. Ni ruman Lelm;. howev.r
niila, acute, studious and Iabi ioug,
could complelrly master it saj3 the
Xew Tori: Times.
It Is only reasonable to call at
tention to the fact that no voter le

it. It is clalmrd by the authors and,

measures, ; roi ably not many, as he
is interested In and as on which he
can forri a reasonable opinion and
that in this Tay most of the matters
will reco've a fairly Intelligent treat
ment They tay and it is relatively
true thac la this way a number of
matters can be decided as to which,
under the old system, It was hard to
get any elective popular action. But
while this ie, as wo have admitted.
relatively true, the process is plainly
an extremely clumsy one. Involving
very serious risks. It Is essentially
hardly more sensible than the tradl
Uonal Chinese device f roasting
pigs by burning the house In which
they are mat
At beif, the treatment ot matters
of moment chiefly or solely by the
group of voters especially interested
in them Is not truly popular decision
of them, and, st worst may lead to
great abuse. And the crowding on
the average voter of a great number
of decisions to be made at frequent
Intervals is necessarily bewildering.
In the long run the tendency? will .be
for special interests, political or fin
ancial, to organize; to take advantage
cf this bewilderment It Is true that
political organizations, or "machines,"
iavo opposed the new system. That
Is In because they are used to the old
aud don'UUke to change.

Clifton was nominated In tho primary
election last mon(lf as a democratic
candidate for presidential elector In
Arizona, has resigned as director of
tho First National Bank, of Clifton.
This action was taken because his
hank directorship disqualified him for
tho ofrce of elector. Mr. Hampton
thus makes known that ho regards his
business engagements, as secondary to
his duty to the public and quickly
removed his disqualification as an
elector so that he may cast one of

r THE UNIVERSITY
(Arizona Republican.)
The University of Arisona lias en
tered upon a new era. Within the pst
year its feld of usefulness has bees
broadened Though It has had many
good men at tho head of it and though
it has new rally possessed an able
faculty, it was regarded merely as a
Tucson institution, in fact, as a part
of the very excellent public school
systom cf that city.
Year by year, however. Its educa
tional influence bas slowly extended,
but the Institution seemed to lack
aggressiveness. The pupils who
availed themselves of the opportcnl
ties wero teneflted, especially those
who took mineralogy, agriculture and
chil eng neericg Still, the university
for a tong time was little more than
a prei-airtory school.
But it began to take Its proper
rank something more than a year ago
under the energetic direction of its
new head, President A. H Wilde.
Its scope has been enlarged, and an
interest has been spread throughout
tho state and. adjacent states. It Is
now Borrasted en the coast only by
the two larger Institutions of Call
fornla which owo their present lm
portBnco largely to private benefi
cence. The attitude of the people of Ari
sojia to the university has recently
changed srePtly. Whero as they for
nwrly viewed it with apathy or not
at all. they art now taking a lUelicr
Interest In It and we believe that lib
eral provision fcr the support will
soon plare H among the leading edu
cational institutions of the west.
FIXING NEW SCHOOt AGE
(Globe Democrat)
One of the constitutional amend
meato to be voted on in Missouri next j
month provides that children snail be
admitted to the public schools at the
aae of 5. and tbat beyond that limit
lnstriteOoB in the schools shall bej
eiten to jiup.te of any age. The pres
ent age of admifston is C. But many
of the public schools have kind rgar
ten departments awl these re fully
adapted to tbe first training lot chil
dren of 5 years of age. An important
practical point is involved. The aver
age ate at which chttdrn leave school
to go to work is 13. To admit them
at 5 adds a year to tho average pe
riod of schooling in the elementary
feature of an education. Kindergar
ten methods are not a tax on tbe
minds of email children. On the con
trary, they deietop the fmall child
without placing any burdens upon
It and Introduce It agrfeubly to

TOO MUCH BOSSING
Most of us are always trying to
toss somebody else, and order tho
lives of those In any way connected
with us. That's why so many ot us
are unhappy. If wo'd let people alone,
allow events to take their natural
course and trust to the Lord a little
more, we'd all of us, be better off.
"TheseL.few remarks" are called
forth ty a recent marriage In which a
dear old lady of scienty and a good
old gentleman ot seventy-one united
their Hies. They love each other
1 defy anybody to proie that age Isn't
capable of love, and most probably
a warmer and more faithful love than
I that ot hotheaded youth they are
well enough endowed with this
world's goods to live In comfort;
neither one is doddering, and they
havo found through several years of
acquaintance that they are entirely
congenial.
But It docs seem that when parents
are not putting obstacles In the way
of their children's marriage, the chil
dren are objecting to the remarriage
ot a parent In this case It is a
daughter who would like to have the
marriage annulled because, as she is
Toported to have said: "Mother Is
too old to marry."
Tco old? It anybody too old to
marry, to havo a companion through
one's declining years somebody with
similar tastes, somebody Intimate and
dear, who will fill a want that grown
up children cannot and seldom try to
moro show for Roosevelt to win than
there is for Taft to win. I
Talk about surprises is foolish and!
In done only to bolster np the falling i
hopes ef the Hull Moose so that thoy I
will r'I ?s large a vote as possible
in order to make a showing against
Taft
The one desire of the leaders of the
Progressive party is to poll mere
ots thin the republicans polL The
thin tfrm party vote will not be a
sarprise any place because It is,
known in every community In the
country Just about how tho rcpubll

"I was lonesome," sighed the old
lady There is. Youth canndt
supply full companion ship to age.
Like must have like, if there Is to be
content
Children have no more right to rule
their parents' lives than parents have
to rule their adult sons and daughters.
Yet one sees It attempted all the
time, to the sorrow of them all.
INHERITANCES
Here's another thing that makes a
lot of trouble The money that chil
dren expect to Inherit from their par
ents, or that relatives expect to bo
"left" to them
Except where young children or
a wife of an aged parent are depend
ent upon tbe person who has property
to leave after his death, nobody
should feel that he has a right to
that money because he Is a relative.
Where Is the Justice in a grown
man or woman expecting tbat a wid
owed parent should refrain from re
marrying simply In order that tho
money should be kept intact for an
Inheritance? What right has a mar
ried daughter to demand that her
mother should live a lonely old age
because said daughter wants the mon
ey that mother has to be "left" to
her? an Instance lately published in
tho papers.
On the other hand, why should a a
able-bodied parent with means of his
own, go to law to get posoerswn ot
his dead daughter's estate tas In a.
recent case), when she had willed It
to her fiance? It was hers, earned by
hor, to be willed as she saw fit. But
nol The parent thought he hall
more right to it than the man whom
the dead girl loved beet of all In tbe
world.
Why do relatives squabble over the
worldly goods left by the one who
has died, and grow Into bitter enemies
over something that was never earn
ed by them and to which they prob
ably have no mortal right?
Sometimes one Is tempted to think
this would bo a better world If in
heritances were not allowed at all ex,
cepf In tho "way of provision for those
who are entirely dependent or as a
deferred payment to one who has
earned it in some way.
Very few democratic votes will be
gained by the Progressives and a
groat many republican votes will go
to the democratic party. It is a cinch
that Wilson will win and the question
is simply how great will he his ma
Jorlty. He will poll more lotes In
tho United States than Roosevelt and
Taft combined, because he will have
th,o entire democratic vote, which
normally Is almost as great as tho
,renubllcan vote, and he will have,
many of the republican votes.
It is nil ever but the shouting ,and
the question of the size ot the major
ity. OF BISBEE
