A few Of our territorial exchangs are still ciamoring for a law providing for semi-annual payment of taxes Just as if such law was not in force now. The tax levies are made in August of each year and just as soon as the rate is fixed taxes are due and payable. Parties whodo not want to wait until ihe afternoon of the last day on which taxes are payable to go down into their wallet and fish out therefrom their annual tribute 10 the government can as soon as the ia,e has been fixed by the board of supervisors and the duplicate roll completed make a partial or full payment of their taxes. A payment can be made on account and the balance paid before taxes become delinquent. A law providing for semi annnal payment of taxes would be an entirely useless statute. The unive sal custom IS for taxpayers to wait until the very latest moment to pay their taxes and if ifquarterly payments were allowed the same custom wonld be observed, as people as a rule do not fel Ike giving up their tithes to the county and territo- rial governments until compulsion stares m the face.

Mention was made. Tn jocular way recently of the effect the repeal of the presumption law would have on the vol
 lume of business done at the Prescott and office. But to treat the matter seriously, it is quite blow to northern
 Arizona as it leaves only two modes open
 now for acquiring title to government
 land, viz: Under the homestead lawand the desert land law. There is praeii- cally only small portion of the land in the Prescott land district that can be taken up under the desert land act, so that virtually the only way left is under the homestead law. Many of our citizens
 having exercised their homestead rights elsewhere are barred from taking up more land under this law. Again, Hnder the liberal ruling of the department, oi
 late years, grazing lands have been
 classified as agricultural lands. and par ties settling in good faith and otherwise ! complying with the land laws, except
 as to cultivation, and making the proper I showing, that the land was more valuaie I for grazing than for agriculture, their proofs have been accepted and paten, has been issued to them. While such land could be settled upon, improved !; and occupied to the full requirement oi I the preemption laws, there is very large I proportion of such land, that settler
 could not live upon continuously for five years as required by the homestead laws So that in this view of the case, which
 is absolutely as the conditions exist in
 this land district, <he outlook IS rather
 poor for the settlements of the public
 lands unless iu repeating the preemp-
 ton law congress has made some other
 provision for disosing of the public land. Another great drawback to the settle
 men here is the fact that there IS such large proportion os the public do-
 main unsurveyed. Without an exami-
 nation of the records ii is safe to say
 that over one-half embraced in Yava- pal and Apache counties is unsurveyed.
 A great deal of it IS valueless and unsur- veyable. but we seriously doubt if one half of the agricultural land of the counties is surveyed. In Mohave county the situation is still worse as there is but a single township-a little over 2a,ooo acres-subdivided in the entire county, notwithstanding the fact that there are numerous fertile valleys which would be settled if there was a possibility of acquiring title.

 T. s. Bullock, who is at present in Phenix, was interviewed recently by the Phenix Republican in regard to bis plans for building his railroad with the follow ing result
 "What have you to say in regard to the charge that if you exteud your rail- road south you will sidetrack Prescott2 ?" querred Republican representative of Mir. Thomas s. Bullock yesterday.
 "What have to say il" answered MT. Bullock sharply, "simply this: that all such statements are unqualifedly false. l am heavy property owner in Prescott. In fact, believe there is but one man-Hon. Coles Bashford- who owns more city lots there than I do. It is reasonable to suppose that am not anxious to have the town grow and progress. Within the past three months l have built three good reside ncesthere one of them a fine house costing over $4ooo.
 Prescott is now the headquarters of my road, and if the exemption bill passes and extend it, Prescott will still remain the headquarters, and all this talk of sidetracking the place is simply foolish. It is true that my line will not be built on directly south from the city for the reason that there is an insurmoun- table mountain barrier to the south that must be built around. No railroad runs directly into and through the city of Buffalo. It is the same at Philadelphia. Trains from New York to Washington or instance swing around into the Broad trset station and then go out the same Tay until they are free to go around the ;ity So in Prescott, in extending my ! oad south, will swing oTto the north ,ast several miles in order to ge, around 1 he mountains. but Pfescots will be just g much on the main line as ever and l .hstli be lhe beaduuarters of the road. !

In the heat and excitement of political campaigns. when numors of all kinds are set afoat about candidates, even with the greatest pre- caution, it is possible sometimes to give expression to charges that may be an In- justice to the individual, against whom they are made. When such a thing oc- CUTS the honorable ~ay 10 do is to correct the injustice as far as possible. During the las, campaign this paper in it's opposi-
