Washington News
By 0. II. TAVKNNKH spi-cial AVasbingtoi ;
correhpomlent.
Washington , Sept. 13. On the
tenth day of May , 1902 , the gov
ernment filed a petition for an in
junction against the beef trust ir
th'e federal court at Chicago. Or
July 5 , 1911 , the packers , after
having obtained forty-two delays
and postponements in the inter
vening nine years , again pleadec
not guilty , and for the forty-thirc
time their trial was postponed
this time until November 20th oj
this year. The status of the beei
trust prosecution , therefore , is ex
actly where it was the day the
first papers were filed nearly i
decade ago. The much-heraldec
% * prosecution" of this gigantic
trust-a prosecution which ha ;
been directed by one republcan at
torney general after another ha ;
amounted to nothing.
Every man , woman and chile
in the country is convinced tha
the trust operates in violation o
the law , both statute and moral
and yet nothing has been accom
plished in the alleged campaign tc
stop these violations except th <
disbursement of thousands of doLlars
lars in fees for special "trust bust
ing attorneys.
What the people of Arj on :
really have to do to obtain state
hood , is a story that the Americar
people have never frilly heard
Information has gone out < mjr th <
wires from Washington that Pf&s
ident Taft will permit Arizona U
enter the union by simply striking
the "recall of the judiciary" pro
vision from its constitutioa. Bu
0 nly when the following fads &
considered can the full significance
of the presidenn's action be grasp
ed :
First , that the people of Arizo
na by a vote of three to .ne de
dared in favor of the recall.
Second , that in order to obtaic
statehood the peopJc of Arizonc
mus t go back to the polk and vote
jaga inst a principle of goverismenl
which they havealready _ voted w
favor of , and which they believe
to be right.
By tfaas coercing the people tc
vote against a thing which their
best judgement tells them to be
wise , jthreatening to withhold
f rom that people unless they rote
as the chief executive dictate * . ,
rights to whicli &ey are justly en
titled under the coextf'&ition. Pres-
jdent Taft has committed jiimself
to an actiott which is without f ? c-
edent in the history of the Ameri
can government.
The President has said to the
' p eople of Arizona , in effect ; "go
jtn atter whether the majority be-
1 ieve that the recall of judges is
wise or not ; unless that majority
go es to the polls and pretends that
it is against ihe recall , I will de
prive the people of Arizona of
statehood. Yes I wiU deprive the
people of Arizona of statehood
whether they are entitled to it un
der the constitution or not , unless
t hey vote not the way they may
d esire , but as I command thcTto
vote. "
While this method of forcing
the p eople to vote against their
will may be perfectly compatible
to the mental workings of an ex
ecutive with & "judicial temper
ament , " isn't ? i < fcfter all making a
farce out of repre&fcs&itive gov
ernment ?
