AMBITION was circulated Saturday
 among the business men Of the town
 praying the Legislature to authorize
 Pima county to establish a guard ol
 twenty men on the line of Mexico and
 Arizona, or that portion of it mostly
 used by cattle thieves. 1t Is true, be
 yond dispute that something should be
 done to stop this thIeving; it has be-
 come burdensome, and people are
 deterred from going into the cattle bnsi- ness on this account, and the ranchmen
 are somewhat discouraged. but it is
 very questionable whether the plan proposed IS good one. Tn small way this was tried to the cost of Sll.OUO tc the county and little or no benefit was derived from it. This Is the same thing onl 7 on a larger scale. It is estimated that twenty men will cost SlO9 a day D per day-costing the county for one year nearly, 1T not quTte S4O,OO0. The serious question is: Win the county derlVe that much benefit from such an experiment? IL is extremely doubtful. IhIs Is a matter thatshould be serious ly thought over before action. It may be the best way, but We are not able to arrive at that conclusion. IT the ranch men and other men interested personal .y on this side of the line would raise the sum necessary to accomplish the work proposed, by private subscription, there IS no doubt but much good could be accomplished, and We have no doubt but many persons would literally but to make the county pay such a debt when it is very questionable whether It would accomplish the end 1 sought, Is something We do not approve.
