A PAPER was circulated this week tC raise money by subscription for the bene fit of every man, woman and child in Tue, son. A great deal Of this sort of unequal taxation has been resorted to heretofore and in this way a few Of the liberal people have paid out of all proportion to the prop erty they possess. It is high time that ex- penses incurred for the benefit Of all the people should be paid by all the people according 10 the value Of theIr property. This is the only just way, and we are glad to know the people here who have so often subscribed and paid liberally while many large property owners have not giv- en cent, are discouraging the subscrip- ton business for services for the benefit Of all the people without exception.

WE congratulate the ARIZONA CITI- ZEN on reaching its seventh year. We are well acquainted with its course dur ing the past and hope that in the fu- ture il may be equally upright and re- liable. That it has faithfully served the interests of the Territ ", and par .ticularly of its section, we arc sure.
 We are not blaming it for maintaining
 the interest of Southern Arizona, for a paper must always to some extent be sectional, and TIE CITIZEN has been, perhaps, less so than other papers in
 Arizona. For sometime we correspond led (frOm Mohave county,) with THE CITIZEN, and thus became more int mate with the editor, MT. WaSson. than we otherwise might have been, and we have always believed him to be an hon. est and upright gentleman and thor oughly devoted 10 the development of the Territory's best interest We have not always agreed with his course but we always thought him sincere in fol lowing it.-Arizona (PreScotO Enter prise.

Col. J. D. GRAHAM of the Aztec Com pany, is an experienced newspaper man.
 He can smell printers ink afar of, and can dish up matter for the press in attract i've style. And well he may, for his ex- perience has not only been long but ex- tended into various States in the Union, both north and south. He has spent some years in Mexico and knows its resources aud capacities almost If not altogether las vel! as any American. He is natural politician although not in political life and does not incline that way, but rather to mining operations. He is hopeful and full Of energy and is Of the stamp Of man most likely to succeed in what he under takes.

Sll,5OO as that is all that is allowed the general fund.
 Twenty-nine persons in this county pay sl0'4OO of the taxes; this includes persons who pay over slO0.
 Four hundred taxpayers pay s9 900; at this rate Of taxation at the end of inc year the county will owe at least sg7. 900. showing plainly that the county indeb,- edness is increasing.

 In awarding the contract to Dr. Handy we think that no injustice was done to Dr. Jansco.
 We find contract for feeding the prison CTS made July 9, with Jacob Martini, to be 75 cents per day per head. We think the Board of Supervisors acted injudlcious in accepting any contract at such figures, as the former contract was s47l% cents per head. They should have made some in- vestigation and considered the matter be- fore giving the contract.
 The only difference in fees in criminal and civil cases is travelling expenses-2O cents per mile is allowed for criminal cases.
 We find that J. H. Hewitt, a supervisor, is allowed travelling fees although his res idence Is ia Tucson.
 We find that the printing bills for pro- posals are kept two months in the news paper at an expense Of sl5 a month. We think a much shorter time would be suffi- cient and save expenses.
 The books Of the recorders office have cost the county about S7OG for the last two years. But we consider this expense nec- essary, as those books were really needed The records and everything connected with the recorders office is we'll kept, plain and in good business style.
