The views expressed by the JOURNAL MINER, in its issue Of Friday, in regard to the compromise of taxes with the At lantic & Pacific railroad, seem to meet with general appreciation. As claimed
 by this paper it is stated that there IS just
 as much propriety in dealing somewhat
 liberally with a grea. through line that
 has been built at great expense and that
 is also being operated under heavy ex-
 pense, and that has done so much for the
 development of the territory as there IS
 in offering exemption to new roads. The only argument that can be used in favor of exemption to new roads is equally applicable to this one. The At lautic & Pacific has had financial struggle ever since it was built and it IS by no means heavy dividend paying road yet. although more prosperous than in past years. With the increase of pros perity the officials express a willingness to be taxed on an increased va luation A compromise now, that can be legalized by the act already passed by the legisla- lure means about $ao. .ooo or over being immediately added to the treasury of the county. A refusal to compromise means that the county will be compelled to do
 without this amount for years and will require additional taxation to the bal-
 ance of the county. Which is the fea-
 soanble. practical, business-like proPosi- ton to accept

Speaking of the recent organization (

Speaking Of the recent organization of the territorial press, the Tucson Star very aptly and correctly says; "The coming together of the editors of our newspapers, taking each other by the hand and exchanging mutual greetings could not result other than good. A teel- ing of common intereres; is excited and . desire to cooperate one with the other is made manifest as duty. And the influence and power of the press for good when there is cooperation is more easily appreciated when the subject IS discussed face to face by those who are engaged in the profession and a closer union formed which partakes of a brotherhood of interest. Harsh criti- cisms one against the other through the columns of the press where t has ob- tained will naturally cease, and this is as it should be, for as the stream canno, rise higher than the fountain, ii is not unreasonable for the people 10 take the press at its word if it speaks in harsh terms of the members of the press. The elevation of the profession can only be accomplished by the elevation of its members and the influence and power of the press can only be enhanced by the strengthening and building up of its in dividual members, and the greater the respect the press can command from the community the stronger it becomes as means for good. aud the more potent it's influence in creating, forming and directing public opinion on matters of public interest"

Senator Stanford's loan bill has been
 reported adversely from the senate f- nance committee. The report contends that land owners will be the only class to be benefited and are too prudent to cover their homesteads with mortgages and even young men starting out in life when borrowing capital intend to remain years in debt. but the low rate of inter- est offered to land owners might inspire improvident habits and extravagant speculation in the mass of the people not free from temptation. The report says: "The bill indorses the principle pu, forth more than centusry ago by John Law. Experience has shown that whenever such reckless experiments in- tended to secure cheap money, havebeen tried, they have ended in commercial crisis, bankruptcy and national disaster" The report compares the measure under discussion with the Argentine Republic and colonial currency schemes, both of which, says the committee. resulted in shame and disaster.

While on this quest ion of exemption, there is another closely connected with it, of importance to this county. That is the compromise of the A. &P. taxes for 1890. A proposition is now before the legislature to legaIize such trans- action. The company expresses will ingness to pay at an increased valuation hereafter. The county is in need of rev enue, and a very large proportion, if not a majority, of the people favor it. There is just as much business sense in com promising these taxes now as there is in offering exemption to new roads. The question stripped of all sentiment and prejudice, and viewed in calm, busi- ness light is simply this: While the company was given grant of land to aid its construction, it is true also that Q large portion of the grant is valueless. The cost of construction of the road was enormous, while the operating expenses, owing to scarcity of water, and having. heavy grades over the mountainous country through which it passes. are equally great. It is fact we'll known to all that prior to 1889 the expenses of the company exceeded its income, and it was necessary for it to reissue bonds in
 payment of interest account. While the company claims exemption under its charter from certain taxation. it has always expressed willingness to
 pay certain amount of taxes, and TOW that the financial condition ot the road has improved, it expresses a further willingness to have its taxes increased. There are those who believe in the Shy lock style of sxacting from the company the pound of flesh, required by law, simply because it is . corporation and its stockholders are supposed to be wealthy, but we think with many others that the matter should be viewed in a business light, and viewing it in this light it suggests itself to our mind that the county and territory will both be gathers in the operation by accepting the terms offered by Judge Haziedine.

RAILROAD EXEMPTION.

The JouRNAL-MINER is in favor ofsa railroad exemption bill that will secure the building of much needed roads In the territory. It does not. however, con- sider that it is necessary to exempt them from taxtion perpetually, nor even for period of onegeneration in order to secure their construction. Of course, 1t is but natural for capital to get all theeonces- sions possible on the subject. For this its representatives are not to blame. But representatives of the people, in the legislature, while they may be expected to deal literally and generously with them at the same time are expected to have the good of the territory in view. Some discretion in the matter of exemption from taxation should be given to the supervisors of the various counties of the territory, so that the construction of these roads may be had where they will be of the greatest possible benefit to the counties, exempting them, as we'll as to the territory. The JoURNAL-MINER has no pet schemes to favor or no lndi- viduals, it desires to have any prefer ence in the matter Of railroad building. The one great need of the territory is a north and south road via the great min efal belt of the Bradshaw mountains and surrounding country. This is needed not only to open up the great mineral resources of the territory, but to afford an outlet for the agricultural pro- ducts of our sister county, Maricopa, as well as to afford better communication from one section of the territory to the other. While it is true that the cost of the construction of this road would be very great, it IS equally true that the traffic would be great from the very time of its being siafted. and the revenue sufficient to pay handsome dividends.
