The Territorial Board Of Equalization
that il, one Of them-the Wolfey
board, which met in Tucson last week,
placed the following rates on cattle for as
sessment purposes in the several counties
in Arizona: Apache, sl2.25 per head /;

$40 n Mohave, 81. So Maricopa, sl2. rs /;
Pima, ss.72; Pinal, sl0.2l; YsvaIai,
sl2.55; Yuma, ts.72 Considering the
prevailing depression in the cattle btlsi-
ness, and the very low prices that are OBJ
tanned for beef, these figures are too high,
az they place 3 valuation upon cattle
greater than could be realized for most
herds Of the Territory at forced Or private
sale, which is manifestly unjust. st.-Wilcox

When the clerk Of the Democratic
Holdover Territorial Board Of Kquali2a-
tion sent out the tax levy made by that
body TO the county boards Of supervisors
in the Territory, he put the levy for the
Territorial capitol fund at u Of mill on
the 500 valuation, instead Of 81. The
mist axe was not discovered until Clerk
Ben Heney Of the regular Territorial
Board sent out the tax levy made In this
city. The Democratic clerk made haste
TO correct his mistake, and wrote TO the
boards Of supervisors TO please rectify
the bIundsr. The MISTAKE, II 1t had not
been discovered by the Republicans,
would have brought 90 per cent less
money than provided by law. However,
as but few counties will pay any atten-
ton to the doings Of the holdover board,
the damage would have been light.-T,ic-
