lie would have the Church take q
lesson from the men of business. and
be vigorous in advertising the Lords
work, so that the things of heaven
should be before the public as promi-
nently as the things Of this world. Ac-
cordingly be suggested "the distribu-
tion of religious circulars and the
canvass Of every house in tbe city ia
order that people might be brought
into the fold"
But that is very expensive and q
comparatively ineffective method of
advertising, Nor is it at all new.
For generations religious tracts kave
been distributed from house to house
by pious people, who have also stood
at street corners handing them 10
such passers by as would take the

to encourage ridicule of religion
among the fippaDt and impious, and
to lead others to regard the tract dis
tributors as busy bodies or as simple
and rather silly men and women who
did religion more harm than good.
But they are not more foolish than
the men who think to advertise their
worldly business to advantage bv
adopting all sorts of odd devices
which attract attention merely. Walk

concomitant of legislative sessions,
 can only be decided in favor of the
 Attest. Nature has done much for
 Apache county, but man has been
 her worst enemy. Both, principle
 and policy demand that men should
 represent us next winter in Pres
 colt who will exact and secure for
 us those wholesome legislative an-
 tidotes, which our n1aladies re-
 quire. Our range laws demand
 clarification, water rights require
 definite statutory settlement, the interests and privileges of cattle
 and sheep owners should be accu- rately defined, our grand and petty jury systems should be placed be- yond abuse, our revenue method could be amended advantageously, the Atlantic and Pacific Railway Company is entitled to certain sal utary legal attention, our county debt needs action, and life and pro- perty heretofore and now, unneces- sarily jeopardized by ilnperfections in our criminal code, ask that pro- lection which civilization should give. Instead of statutes subver- sive of the rights of citizenship, assailing the sacred immunities of suffrage, and embittering the minds of a large class of our citizens, let us rather seek, with one accord, to achieve for Apache county by leg islative and all other proper means that prosperous, humane and pro- gressive destiny which awaits her if the hands of her voters will but grasp and hold it.

TIE public good demands pas sage by the next legislature of a general statute, applicable to every county in Arizona, empowering each county in the Territory, if desirable, to fund its debt. Such an act would obviate any objection which might arise. under the recent act of Congress, prohibiting special or local legislation.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-09-16

WHILE county offices and local affairs are being fumigated. neither public attention should be attracted nor the voters exertions expended to the detriment of this county's voice and interest in the approach ing legislative session. Matters of profound concern to Apache cOun- ty, long and seriously neglected through imbecility, await, but while waiting. clamor for recognition and vigorous and efficient legislation,
 The emergency demands that our representatives in that session be men of fidelity, shrewdness, ener- gy, vigilance, foresight and intelli- gence, to the end that those rights and interests peculiarly pertinent to our county may be respected and tostered. The notion that an automatic legislator can accom- plish aught that is beneficial to his except by a scratch or an intellectual accident, is ut terly futile, and if entertained should be at once dispelled. In that eager competitive steeple chase and scramble for the benefcentfruits of legislation the doctrine of the sur vivai of the tittest finds an admira- ply clear and cogent illustration.

Our County Debt.

We commend to the careful
 attention of our readers an ar
 ticle which we publish in this is-
 sue of tue HERALD from the Cliff
 ton Clarion, relative to the funding
 of the debts of Arizona counties.
 In view of the fact that a recent
 congressional enactment inhibits
 the passage by territorial legisla-
 lures of any statute of merely To-
 cal operation, we perceive with
 hope and qualification that the sub
 iect may develop into statute of
 general application to the Territory.
 We assume, with confidence, the
 proposition that of the ten coun-
 ties of Arizona, not one is without
 a debt of such magnitude that it's
 burden is onerous to the taxpayer,
 Indeed this fact has appealed to:
 congress as being a matter of se-
 rious import, and has so aroused
 the forebodings of that body that
 in the exercise of it's guardian pow
 CT over territorial concerns it has
 placed restraining act upon the
 contraction of a debt by any coun-
 ty in any Territory ill excess of four
 per centum of its assessed property
 valuation. To people of thought
 and prudence it is subject of re- gret that this vital question did
 not, at it's inception, receive the su-
 pervisory restraint of the federal legislature. The exigency is now one of such a grave character that
 men may we'll propound and con- slider the question of the ability of counties to make such drafts upon their treasuries as will enable them to defray the expenses of municipal machinery. While the problem of paying county expenses is one which awaits judicial solution, it behooves the citizen to adopt some economic measure by which his county may be extricated from its financial embarrassment. Apache county is confronted with these three facts: It owes a principal debt of about one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, this amount is bearing, and will bear, until paid, interest at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, and this sum, principal and interest, must be paid. Repu- diation, even if not dishonest, is impossible. With regard to its ob- legations Q county IS amenable to and controlled by the same legal principles, which" apply to an indi- vidual under like circumstances. | Compromise is too improbable and to deserve thought or Even if a compromise 1 of our county indebtedness would rebound to the credit of our people, the county's creditors; aware of the ,ounty's resources and future, would turn an unrelenting ear to any overture not involving dollar for dollar and cent for cent. If a careful and patient diagnosis and analysis of this financial crisis of ,he county by the HERALD has ac- any thing it has dis ;losed 2 unanimity of opinion and

desire seldom observable in the
 disposal, of question of public in- terest. We,have encountered not a
 man who gainsays the advisability
 of bonding and funding at the ear
 Hest possible day, our county debt.
 No thought worthy of considera- tion has been or can be urged
 against the course, and every idea
 worthy of toleration by the human
 mind, favors it. The one hundred
 and thirty thousand dollars in
 county warrants, now in the hands
 of the county creditors, costs the
 county in interest, thirteen thous-
 and dollars year. Can this debt
 be funded in. bonds bearing seven
 per. cent interest2 Assuredly, the
 mere announcement of the propo-
 sition establishes, beyond cavil, its
 own feasibility. On this item of
 interest alone, then, we have astroke
 of economic policy worth $500 a
 year to the county. The realization
 of this measure would at once bring
 the value of all warrants subse-
 quently issued up to par, and here again we develop, an item of ines
 timable benefit to the county. In
 our present financial plight the
 county's warrants are worth fifty
 cents on the dollar. He who has debt against the county of $50, pre- fers claim of $100, and in equity is entitled to its allowance. The county then, by reason of it's de- preciated credit, pays $100 for $50
 value received, and at the same time becomes obligated to pay 10 per cent per amum interest on $10O, or in other words 20 per cent per annum on $50, with a bonus of $50 more to the holder of the warrant on that inevitable day of reckon ing. If some measure securing re- lief from this deplorable situation is not speedily adopted, our war rants must depreciate further in value, and such depreciation will unavoidably entail still further and greater embarrassment. If men are oblivious to the gravity of our predicament, the future holds the era in store for this county when it will be coerced into paying $100 for $25 value received, or 40 per centum per annum interest on this delectable investment. If the pre- sentation of every outstanding county warrant is demanded for funding purposes, the HERALD ven lures the prediction that vast sum of money will be saved to the coun- ty by the detection of spurious pa per which crawled into existence prior to the organization of the present Board of Supervisors. A county warrant occupies the same category with promissory note, it's may become barred by lapse of time, and no degree of temporizing and lethargic inaction will exempt this county from a set clement with it's creditors in the courts, if an adjustment is not oth- erwise effected. See to it, voters of Apache county, that this subject is wisely considered by you when you put your heads together at Wins low. ..

The St. Johns herald., 1886-09-16

SINCE the passage of the act pro- hibiting special legislation in the Territories, says the Clifton Clarion,
 it will no longer be in order, to have county indebtedness funded by special acts, as has heretofore been done, but doubtless a general act will be. passed by our next legisla- ture providing for funding the debt of all the counties of the Territo- ries on terms to be prescribed. As a measure of economy 1t is regard ed with favor by business men, common sense citizens and tax payers, who desire to see county in- debtedness paid, and the expenses of. county government reduced. Tliis county is paying ten per cent per annum on it's; outstanding in debtedness, and must continue to do so for long period in the fu- turc unless combination of most propitious circumstances should greatly increase the amount of taxable property which would in- evitably result in Q lower tax levy, and the bonds would be run for years, and be redeemed so grad ually that the burden would scarce ly be felt. Each year public i'm proTements are being made-roads laid out-bridges built-and build ings erected, the results of which will be enjoyed by those who may in future become residents of the different counties of the Territory. If the expense of so doing is fund.- ed they will pay a part thereof. When the indebtedness of the coun- ties is funded there will be cash in the treasuries to pay expenses as they accrue, and scrip, if issued, will be received at par or nearly so.
