EDITOR CHAMPION:
 May 3rd, being the day set flo
 appointing delegates to meet com
 mittee from Prescott, for the pur
 pose of agreeing, If possiblel ol
 lines for new county. l believ
 that was the proposition of Prescott
 people. Hope it will be a success
 But I have yet to learn of any o
 Prescott's political dictators dying 0 enlargement of the heart, caused b,
 an over display of their generosity
 Except when 1t comes to raising
 mans taxes who lives from 100 t,
 200 miles from the county seat
 They know full well he cannot kicl
 at little raise, for it will cost hin
 about as much to go to the county
 seat to get his taxes reduced as his
 taxes ammount to, therefore he sub
 mits to a payment of from S25.0C
 to l50.00 more per year on his tax
 eS, according to where his home
 is located in the county, rather than spend his time and money on what might be fruitless errand, in ap- preaching the board.
 They showed their partiality when they were asked to appoint Mir. Switzer from Eastern Yavapai as a member of the Board of Super risors to fill vacancy made about a year and half ago. If he had been appoi iated or any other man from Eastern Yavapai we could explain our grievances. He would oe on the ground and could see for him self and be prepared to adjust them before the board, but we failed to get Mir S., or any other represen- tative. Mr. Goldwater, of Prescott, was the lucky man, to look after the affairs of Eastern Yavapai.
 Now for illustration: Mir. A or B says my taxes has been raised My peighbor 0 has more property than we or either of us have. why do you not raise himl alsol my neighbor D has been raised which I know is unjust, be cannot afford to present his grievance to the board, because 1t will cost him as much or nearly 80 as his taxes amount to
 If you call on Mr. Goldwater and explain your troubles he will say my business is selling pins. needles and paper collars I do not know any thing of those people out there. Bus iness, please. Go to Mir. Price Behn, he is chairman of the board, and knows all about it.
 MT. Behn Is called on. He says: My salary is too small, l cannot aE- ford to travel hundreds of miles over the country to look after the wants of the people. Consequent ly the tax payer gets 1t in the neck. Now, I would advise the people of Eastern Yayapai, while they have their hand in in appointing com mittees to appoint one to wait on Ehe Board of Supervisors and ind out if possible, how much road fund money they have on hand for repairing the roads in the Eastern portion of the county. We have had but little of that amount of money, that we are entitled to for and opening up our Fcals. There must be several thousand dollars to our credit for repairing loads ln this pS4[ Q- the 
 Great Jehcvahl If ever we did require any money 10 repair Cur IoAls il Is now, for they are badly wlcCArd aitef the winter sigurs.
 Mir. Marion, of the Courier, abused me tor showing up lot of disgracetul indebtedness imposed on the taxpayers by the Prescott Jnudlers to benefit Prescott only. A nlau muo %lll not fight in justice icr his rights when being imposed upon IS but a cowardly cur, espe- clallv when he finds people going into hls pocket to rob him for tne purpose O. +s4.nctl-G their o"h i...rrestss
 I wonder what has become Of B:o. Manon and his people? l gave them a little ilemlZed bill oi S79T5z5 Do te chew on. l have not heard from them lately? They do pot care to deny 1t. Thev would rather throw mud on me personally, If they could make II stick. Yes, the blll for wagon roads amounts to SIIo.85o.oo; rourt house, S7S,ooo; Flagstaff jail, S475; P. & A. :. R R. (72 mllesl Sz8S,ooo; P. & A. C. R. K. (oo miles 10 Oe completed instead of 3o as heretofore stated) S36o, | 800, making total of S837,325.oo By the way, l made mistake Tn the above item. My estimate Tn my original itemized bill was 80 1 miles at S4,ooo per mile, would be S37o, ,ooo, but l learn from good authority that the road will be 90 miles in place of So, that will make $40, GOO more.
 That IS not much. Go 1t, boys. l Dad Is rich and who cares for ex
