WHY THE DIFFERENCE?
Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Schuckman,
Mr. Curtis, and their associates can
(and have) put $50,000.00 into the
banking business in Nogales, and
they loan their capital together
with a certain portion, prescribed
by law, of the money deposited in
that bank, at twelve per cent, per
annum. That is all right; and no
one gainsays their right to realize
that return upon their investment,
or a return as much greater as
they can get. Were an attempt
made to do so they could and
would withdraw their investments,
to take their money elsewhere,
among people who would not be
continually hectoring them. But
Mr. Ephraim, Mr. Pascholy and
others have put into a system to
supply Nogales with water a like
amount of money, and The Oasis
would like some 'person to give a
good and valid reason why they
should not be given the same con
sideration with their money in
vested in the water business that
would be given were it put into the
banking business? Is it because
their capital is tied down in the
form of permanent improvements,
and cannot be taken away so read
iily as can banking capital, that
they shall be at the mercy of those
having "axes to grind," and they
can be "put out of commission" as
the "Daily Squirt" alleges: they have
been, by a hasty and summary
action of the municipal council,
without notice, without a hearing,
and without due consideration?
Surely Nogales is not a nest of An
archists that money legitimately
invested in a legitimate public
service can be deliberately wiped
out of existence by "putting out of
commission" the corporation that
made the investment. And the
water company has as much right,
surely, to the running rate of profit
upon its investment that the bank
Jias.
It would be just as well for those
who are so loudly decrying and
berating the water company to re
call and take into consideration
what has been done since it passed
under the present ownership.
Eight years ago Messrs. Ephraim
and Pascholy bought the corpora
iion from the Chenoweths. Those

fei'ion tlie plan they hud pre-'were conceded the risiht to vote
pared for giving the town a py?
tern that would bo commensurate
with all needs. Three years ago
their improvements had so in
creased the protection against fire
that the underwriters made a ma
terial reduction in rates which has
saved annually in insurance pre
miums paid by Nogales business
men the handsome sum of $(,
250.00. Almost nineteen thousand
dollars saved to the business com
munity within that three years.
And the new rive-inch mains, with
the big reservoir on the hill, when
completed, would have effected vet
another saving. The gentlemen in 1
the water company have been J

their work they : oeoived neither j

past four years they have had div
idends, but nothing e.traordinary.
against the resolution tvithoiit
having to sacrifice their standing
in the party. Doctor Uodgers was
one of the committee which framed
and reported resolutions of condol
ence upon the death of O'lirien
Moore, who was probably the most
violent of the advocates for "herd
ing together the apostates, rene
gades and traitors" in both paW
ties. The fact is that both parties
are beginning to realize that they
cannot get along without those self
same "apostates, renegades ami
traitors;" and concessions to them
are now the order of the da v.
The, same (money invested in any
other business in Nogales would
have done better. Really are not
the gentlemen entitled to fair
treatment? The Oasis believes
they are. And it. has no hesitancy
in the assertion that they have not
received it.
When all is said and done there
remains the fact that were the
water service no better than it was
eight years r go, when the present
owners took over the company, and
were the charges twice as high,
still the water company would be
giving better return for the money
paid than do the Pellegrins with
their alleged newspaper.

and his departure removes from the ' 1
journalism of the territory a strik- j
ing and masterful figure. While 1
disagreeing upon all points, (ex
cept the Japanese-Russian war)
there existed a warm personal
friendship between Colonel Moore
and The Oasis editor; and in the
death of the brilliant gentleman
the writer feels a keen sense of
personal loss. There was nothing j
mean nor underhanded in Colonel
Moore. He came out into the
open, and his opponents knew
where to find him always. And
he held in thorough detestation
that class of journalists who try to
even up by inflicting financial loss
upon an opponent with whom they
cannot cope in the broad forum of
intellectual endeavor. His detesta
tion of the (hand) organ grinders
