sI,xOO A YEAR.
Assessor Buchanan Talks on Measures
 Of Economy.

Understand do not ask any raise of salary nor expect any. The legislature fixed the figure and set the limit, and it 1 cannot be changed until another session. l only want to make it plain that there is vsry poor economy ID the present re- munerating of the assessor at S120O Q year"
 So said Assessor Buehman this morn. ing. Demonstrating it he said:
 "fhe CITIZEN has published an ab- stract sf the assessment roll of Pima county showing the assessabls property of the county to bs about S4,0S0,O0O, 8 gain of s220, GOO for the past year-all of which shows very well, but l wish to make further assertion. That roll to day should be s5,0OO.OO0. Why isn't it? hadn't the time, nor the help nor the pay to hire it, to get C good many as easements that otherw:se might. The assessment is begun Un March 1st, con- tIuues through April aud May, and on the first Monday in June the assessment roll must bs h readiness for the ex- animation of taxpayers with the clerk of the board of supervisors, a month previous to the boards meeting. To do this requires months work, or that of May, in preparing the roll. This leaves 8 paltry two months to go over all the property ot Tucson and the balance of Pima county. Then l have to keep a team, and traveliTg expenses are high. To do the assessment of Pima county as it should be done I should have two assistants. One should help me take tte outside aud two should take the city. The city assessment IS very laborIous. Transfers are constantly being made, and often arbitrary assessments are re ouired. To do thls mu t go over the records, perhaps hunt throut h titles of two or three former owners of the same piece of property, thus losing valuable time. Again ih the country it is some times hard to find the taxpayer st home. During the past season l was at the ex pense of team through the country and an assistant during the entire time
 An increase of Sl ,OOp in poll taxes alone will De made during the present year, and 1t might have been more, had the time and help to look up non-pay- ing voters.
 "The law requires that taxpayers bring in 6 list Of their property to the assessor at his office, but do not think the assessment roll would have gaiI ed much if had waited st the office for the taxpayers to. come after me-"

 What the s. P. is Doing. L. A. Tinss.
 Several months ago the Southern Pa cific company began the thorough i'm provement of tracks and road5sd throughout its whole system. When asked by Chronic.e reporter what pro gress mad been made iu this line Ger eral Superintendent Fillmore ead that the work was nov practically completed, there remaining only little ballastiny | 10 be done to Q piece of track in the San Joaquin valley The track, as well as 1 the equipment, was in as good condition ' as any of the eastern lines. Several million dollars have been spent, but it
 was really measure of economy, for the
 traffic could now be handled without | the demoralizing "crusn" of former
 heavy seasons, and there was far less l liability of acciosnts. Iustead ot ten ton
 freight cars, es were formerly used, those
 of twenty tons capacity were now run l ming, thus greatly facilitating the hand
 ling of freight. The new rule cf accept. ing no cars from other lines that weIo
 not equipped with automatic brakes,
 had caused some growing among east
 ern lines, but the company is adher-
 ing rigidly to the plan. Heavy steel
 rails, heavy engiues Rnd heavy cars had
 taken the place ot the old track and
 equipment all over the system. The
 company in this respect is more "up to
 date" than eyer before.

important Suit.

Attorney General % C0nnOr, Of
Wisconsin, has commenced a suit
against ex-State Treasurer McFet-
ridge, for misrepresentation Of mon
ey belonging to the State, it being
interest received by him on money
loaned for the State It is alleged
that the amount Of interest money
received by McFetridge during the
gear 1885 was not less than $28, :
600, and that the amount received
by him during the year 1886 was
not less than $36, 900, which
amounts are not accounted for.
The complaint further charges that
during his occupancy Of the Office Of
Treasurer other deposits were made
By State officers, on which interest
was drawn that should have been
accounted for. Tt is alleged in
conclusion that McFetridge and his
aondsmen are indebted to the State
iii the sum Of $84, 600, and judg-
ment is asked declaring his bond of
$500 900 forfeited.
The result Of this suit will be
watched with much interest, as the
people in general are concerned to
know its determination The par
tt on parties involved hold import
ant positions in political circles. but
w0ne of these considerations entitle
them to special favor

to the national treasury for the sup
port Of the war It will be recol-
fected that the loyal states collected
and paid the amount apportioned to
then; the states that did pay have
now the amount repaid to them.
There has been no hope Of collecting
the amounts apportioned to the
states declining to pay, and the on
" method for adjusting the bust
ness was to pay back to the states
that did pay. Our member Of
Congress from this district, Hon.
L. B. Caswell, had charge of this
measure two years ago and came
near securing its pas sage through
Congress. Some Of the states re-
ceive large amounts. New York
over 50, 900, 600; Ohio, s., 332, 900;
Michigan, $426, 900; Illinois, 1914
568. Other states get considerable
sums. 1t is suggested in some Of
our exchanges that this welcome re-
payment Of money would go far
with some Of the states in making
up the amount expected Of them to
help on the Worlds Fair in 1893.
If that is the best and most patriot
ic use to which the money can be
applied, the states that have the
disposal Of the direct tax will Sc
appropriate it.

Reading Books for Schools Two
Generations Ago.

In contrasting the reading liter
ature Of the books used in the com
mon schools two generations ago
and those Of the present time, there
has been a falling off in the quality
Of reading matter. Sixty and sew
enty years ago the reading furnish
ed the schools was of a high order.
The choicest specimens of English
prose and poetry were selected and
arranged in books; a book of this
kind was called the English Reader.
Since that book has been dropped
in the schools nothing to compare
with it has been substituted. The
literary composition of the school
books following the English Reader
are respectable in the use Of correct
language, but the sublimity Of sen
timent and classic beauty Of word
ing, is not comparable with the Eng
lish Reader. There are sentiments
expressed in the pathetic pieces in
the discarded book that are sure Of
Immortality; they will never be for
gotten while written language lasts.
They will continue to be appropri-
ated in orations, sermons, eulogies
and addresses. They are great
helps to render spoken language
finished and complete If any one
believes the literary merit of the
authors of the productions found in
the book. here described whose
names appear to each article of
prose and poetry, and no better
proof will be needed. They, almost
without exception, are known and
have reputation for high order
Of talent in every land where civil
zation and literature are character
istic of the people.
The question will be asked why
was a book of such rare and unri-
vailed merit for schools displaced,
and those Of no particular reputa-
ton for authorship put in it's place?
The reason to most thinking people
is not a justifable one The Eng
fish Reader was prescribed for us
ing occasionally and reverently a
word or name, for it is both a word
and a name It was used with no
greater frequency than the sense Of
the subject treated of rendered
proper, and with no just occasion of
offense to Protestant or Catholic.

AL hope Of its prevailing this year

Ind nays were not called on the

Unrewarded Literary Effort.

Hon. Moses NJ. Strong, of Iowa
County, Wis, prepared and had
published in 1885 a history of Wis
eonsin Territory covering the time
from 1886 to 1913, when State gov
eminent was adopted. 1t was
handsomely printed in a volume Of
636 pages and nicely bound It did
not prove a paying book for Mr.
Strong; the book was criticised for
devoting so large a space to mat
ters in which the people in general
felt no interest. As it became
manifest that Mr.. Strong would
sustain loss on his we'll intentioned
enterprise, a bill was brought in
the legislature to purchase the
books, a large number Of which
were unsold, and distribute them
among the schools of the State. A
bill at each session to buy the books
was lost, and the bill for that pur-
pose in the present legislature was
defeated a few days ago The
amount asked for Mr.. Strong at
This session was $4,000. Probably
but few if any men in Wisconsin
nave been better known during the
past half century, 1t is stated that
Hon. Moses M. Strong and Col
Frank are now the only survivors
Of the Council branch Of the Terri
tarlal legislature of 1913
