AN IMPORTANT BILL.

One very important measure was yes-
 ten day presented in the council by Hon.
 w. T. Smith, member from Maricopa. It was an act "To provide for the col.
 lection of taxes in the territory claimed to have been illegally assessed" It repeals the common law doctrine that taxes once paid, even under protest, cannot be recovered back.
 This act introduced, and which we hope will become law, provides that any person claiming a tax to be il- legally assessed before an action will lie to restrain the collection, must first pay the tax and then bring suit against the territory to recover the same, and this suit must be brought within thirty days after payment or be forever barred. This act further provides that after court of competent jur- isdiction declares any tax illegal it shall be the duty of the as. sessor to re-assess the property men, toned in the assessment rolls and upon which the tax was held to be illegal, within ten days after the final determi- nation of suits where the validity of the tax was called into question and the tax declared illegal. After such re-assess- ment to give two weeks' notice thereof by publication, deliver such re-assessment to the collector, and that the delivery to the collector shall be all the acts and things required to be down to make such re e-assessment legal.
 As we said before we are in favor of the act and hope 1t will become law. There are instances in the territory where persons have refused to pay their .c""" N"""".h' 0"i. ontq;liny noeIross costs to the territory, and these suits have never been disposed of, and thou sands of dollars ot unpaid taxes are locked up in the courts.
 Judging of the future by the past there is but little or no hope of deci- sion ever being reached. This law will place the taxpayer who:can not afford to refuse payment and bring suit restrain. ing collection on the same footing with others pecuniarily able to resist pay nent of that which alone supports the

CANADA.

The Canadian cabinet continues to deny the existence of any annexation sentiment in the dominion. And yet it was only last week that deputy col lector of inland revenue at Toronto was dismissed for participation in the agi- istion, and the organs of the adminis- tration continue to call loudly for the punishment of annexatlonists. Thus far the agitation has been conducted fully as much in an academic as in a political sense II has gathered its strength from the fact that it has it's origin in the aspirations and ambitions, as well as in the necessities, of the peo- pie of the country as distinguished from the official class.
 The Canadian government realizes the situation fully. That is why it is so unwilling that public discussion be had, and why it is visiting it's wrath on such civil servants as may be indiscreet enough to voice their convictions. If there is no annexation sentiment in Canada the matter could be finally set tied by the holding of such plebiscite as the Trades and Labor congress and ether bodies have suggested. Such a vote, if favorable to the maintenance of Canada as a colony, would confirm it's status for a century. But the doubt of the result stays the hand of Sir John Thompson. He is no novice in politics, and will accept no chances where so much is at stake. Ontario could not be depended upon Quebec is homegrown bed with the annexation sentiment, and with these leaning toward a higher and broader life with this country, the ether provinces would count but little.
 But there will be no trials for treason n Canada. A trial for treason would make history. Sir John A. Macdonald threatened one in the spring of 1891, but the matter ended when the threat had been spoken.

A CHICAGO SPINDLE.

Economical persons are warned about a swindling scheme which i- sent forth
 to an nnsuspicious public from Chicago
 It refers of course to cheap living dur. ing the Columbian exposition. The circular is the worst sort of a fraud, as 1t offers reasonable board in buildings
 which exist only in the minds eye and
 will exist nowhere else. The scheme usually takes this form:
 A circular is issued containing, frst, sorrowful narration of the over. crowded and vicious condition of the city. Next it is proposed that the re- ceiver of the circular join club. In order 10 do this he must first pay for a certificate of membership, which costs from $5 to Sl5. This gives him nothing except great many ethereal, rose- tinted promises. The circular is artistically printed. In some cases it is emblazoned with 6 crest. It contains A rosy account ot a massive hotel the club k building, towering high and declsi with minarets and domes. Scenes from the interior of the great hotel, giv- ihg most invi'ing corners of h.. dvans, princely rugs and costly bric.a- brac, are printed on the best paper with the best of ink. In every case, the ex- clusiveness of the hotel IS dwelt upon, Wide piezzas are described in glowing enthusiasm; the break of the waves on the lake shore is told with poetieal iervor.
 Of course the whole thing is fake and those who pay in their $5 or $I5 simply learn that this is a very wicked world and that extremely few people in it are to be trusted.
 Tee legitimate board of public com fort at Chicago is naturally disturbed by these schemes and one cannot be thereat. If Chicago IS to be billed throughout the country as den of thieves, where women dare not go unattended by the sterner sex, the worlds fair will lose many visitors, The great exposition will call in class which spends little money and is apt to be taken in by bogus advertisements. Therefore it is we'll to be advised in time.

Phoenix railway will thus in measure be corrected, and several other bills prohibiting similar abuses will also soon be introduced. If the legislators desire any points as to the poor service furnished by this lne they can se- cure them from any man, woman or child in Phoenix. No person who has been obliged to travel over this road would make the trip again if pos sible to avoid i:.
 But the bill prohibiting mixed trains is especially good, and it's passage should be pushed. No measure will be of more interest to the city of Phe- nix, and every citizen should con stitute himself a committee to see that it does pass and become law.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The question of woman suffrage is one that will probably be brought to the at. tention of the legislature this session, but 1t is one which we doubt whether that body is able to act upon intel. ligently with regard to the views of their constituents, as the subject was not an issue in the late campaign and has not generally been discussed throughout the territory.
 In view of the fact that the early ad- mission of Arizona as a state is proba- ble, and that a new constitution will have to be framed, it would seem a fair proposition to leave the question of woman suffrage to that convention and let the friends of the measure secure, if possible, the election of delegates to the convention favorable to their ideas. This would bring it directly before the
Arizona weekly republican., 1893-02-23

people and give them an opportunity to express their wishes upon the subject. Then what would still be fairer let the constitutional convention, if it 80 de- sired, submit to the people the clause granting woman suffrage separately from the constitution itself, so that the people might again vote upon-the measure and adopt or reject it as they pleased.
 The question is a serious one and no legislator can afford to vote upon the matter blindly as he would now be obliged to do. Let the whole matter go over for the constitutional convention or state legislature to pass upon.
 Aside from the fairness of the proposi- sion to permit the voters to decide for themselves whether or not they want woman suffrage, there is cold business vIew to be taken. In the conservative and older settled communities, in all of the eastern states, the opposition to woman suffrage among all classes is widespread and the prejudice that would be en- gendered against Arizona should this legislature adopt the measure would be of incalculable injury, when so much now depends upon capital and immigra- ton from these sections.
 We therefore hope that the present legislature will do nothing rashly. and that there will be no legislation which is impractical or ridiculous, or that would result in prejudicing outsiders against us.
 We have reached that period in our existence when romance and sentiment should give place to cold, practical business affairs. There is much valu- able legislation to occupy the time of the legislature, and this body can do a great deal towards restoring confidence in our securities and our resources, and building up the industries of the terri tory, so soon to become a state, with. cut wasting time upon will-o'-thew wisp questions that will not add dollar to eur wealth and may result in keep ing immigration and money from coming here.
 We do not believe there is any immi- nent danger of such legislation, but from thoughtlessness or other causes the legislators might bring about such a result.
 Radical changes in our laws should not be made without the consent of the people, and especially should there be no radical and unusual enactments now that we are upon the verge of constitutional convention, and while the commonwealth is in that embryotic state, depending so much upon capital and immigration from other sections.

To THE GENTLEMEN in the legislature who favored TIE REPUBLICAN with their support yesterday We desire 10 express our thanks. We believe that the legislature acted wisely in ordering the proceedings printed in the two leading party newspapers of the terri. tory and that the people will approve it. But THE REPUBLICAN also recog. Rizes that ''tO the victOrs belong the spoils" and there would have been no kick from us had the proceedings been ordered printed exclusively in the Gazette. However, We are in the field for business, and we appreciate the official recognition given THE REPrBu- CAN yesterday as valuable medium through whsch to reach the public and also the contract awarded us. With the proceedings printed in THE REPUB. LICAN and Gazette there will be very few people in Arizona, indeed, who will not know what the legislature IS doing.
