MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY

Salt River herald., 1878-09-07

The Enterprise wants to know what good Mr. Stevens hds done during his four years at Washington, to which the Tucson Star replies that he has doubled the mail service and caused the telegraph to span the Territory
 We wonder if Stevens had as much to do with increasing the postal ser vice as he did with the building of the Military telegraph-we think he did. Our memory reminds us that the appropriation for the telegraph was obtained by Dick Mccormick and the line completed to Tucson and Camp Verde before Nr. Stevens was elected
 \ short extension to Camp Apache has been made during Stevens time but it was constructd with surplus wire and soldier labor. Does anyone doubt but that the little bills now before con gress are buncombe measures. We refer to the $27,O0O appropriation for constructing a road from Camp Verde to Sunset crossing and the one to re pair the mail road from Prescott to Camp Mcdowell. We would like to know if the road to the Little Colo rado wasn't needed just as much four years ago as at the present time. As to the mail route from Prescott to Camp Mcdowell no such route cx- ists. We would like the Sur to in form as to what has become of the bill appropriating $40,G0O to finish the Territorial prison at Yuma, which bill Mr. Stevens claims to have intro duced prior to the last election. Why has he made no appropriation to erect suitable captol buildings, that vexed question should have been set lied years ago We don't see how he can have the cheek to ask the people of Tucson for their support, when he sat idly in Congress for two years with the capital located at Tucson, and never even asking an appropria- tion to put up buildings. We must infer from the action of AIr. Stevens that he wanted to prove to his old peighbors that he was nOn-sectional
Salt River herald., 1878-09-07

The question has been raisad by different parties whether or not any officer has the power to call an elcc- ton for members to the next Legisla- ture, as the Governor vetoed an ap pOrtionment bill passed by the last Legislature. The law requires the Governor to issue his proclamation thirty days before election, less than month from the present date. We have nc doubt but that at the proper time the Governor will make a new apportionment and in so doing it would be only justice to Maricopa county for the maker to adopt the fol lowing from Governor Safford's veto:
 An act of the last Legislative As- sembly has taken from Yavapai county portion of its Territory and annexed the same to Maricopa county. There is probably within the part thus segregated q population of about 1000 people and undoubtedly Mari copa county is entitled to a propor- tionate increase in representation, but that increase should come from the source that has lost the popula- tion."
 Now if the Governor should make the same apportionment as the old one it would by only right and prop CT that Maricopa should be given a a third member of the House to be taken from Yavapai.
