GIVE BOTH A SQUARE DEAL.

The mayor and city council have
Droven themselves friends to law and
order by eXonPrating the city march !
from false charges MADE by parties act
ing from Sc fish and jealous motive, and
suspending the violster of law and
isceUcy. Why should a man addicted
to the drink habit be retained On the
police force? IL certainly disqualties y
man for any responsible position and
e. pecally for police duty. Let there be
a cleaning oat all along the line. A
new force IS needed. Tucson has suffer
I'd and been di5sraced by far too long
on account OF inefficient police. Let
reputable men b. chosen in the interest
Of economy aud decency. The present
salaries paid will secure the very best
service aud We believe our present city
officials will prove themselves equal to
the reQuirements.-Star.
The Star is most expert strad Her
L. approves the suspension Of Priice-
man johnson, charged with wantonly
assaulting a private citizen, and de-
mands his dismissal from the force, but
1t disapproves the suspension of Marshal
Estrella who was admittedly guilty OF
standing by apd allowing his brother
in-law Mungia, to repeatedly strike a
woman on the head without let or hin
drance from him. We do not believe
IN justlfying a wrong, DO matter by
whom committed. Both were suspt ndeG
and Justly so, Cspt. johnson for assault
ing, wni g on duty as a police officer, a
private citizen for expressing senli-
ments OF which ne, the officer, did not
approve, and Marshal Estrella, not for
any clandestine visits he may have
made to anyone, but for the acknowl-
edged fact that lie stood by, as chief Of
DO ice, and saw a woman beaten. If one
should be dismissed bo should be dis
missed. Ia the miud of many the
'chief" was the gulltier of the two. A
man can protect himself as the assRiled
citizen ghtfuliy did, but woman is at
the mercy OF a man with a club. Do
not make fish Of one and flesh of an
other. for both are OF like composition
before the law. Keep both On or fire
both. The council will, We are satisfied,
o We both men q square deal and in do
ing this will not forget the Interests ot
the city with which tney are intrnsted.

The Marshalship Again.

The honors of riding the marshsPs
horse do not rest easily these days.
Since his return from Yuma Policeman
Roche has expressed a willingness to
resume the proud seat on the prsuciny
gray nag.
This willingness he has fortified with
little detective work on his own ac-
count. Last night he shadowed he of
the bonny black horse to such good
effect that meeting of the police CON-
mittee has been called for this evening
to investigate charges.
Policeman Roche is not aspiring for
the marshalship (lhough if pressed upon
him by his friends, the council, he
might accept but wishes the dignity of
the police OF Tucson preserved, ana par.
ticularly of the mars halship over him.
And man what docs what that fellow
did last night amt 10 gintleman, so
don want him over me-"
Another matter, relating to a recent
lively encounter between prominent
democrats, will also be investigated this
evening.

TIE investigation into the police
muddls in this city is pannlng out some
queer issues that are a disgrace to the
town. Herei o ore we have said moth
log hoping that N ters could be ad-
jus.ed sat'sfactoriaiy, but last nights
opening of the stew pot, while no sur
prise TO many, will, We think, lead to a
better and more efficient service. Let
the council strike boldly at any wrong if
any good is 10 be accomplished. The
members of the present force instead of
working hand IN hand for the suppress
ioO in crime, appear tC be largely occu-
pied in watching one another to the
neglect Of the public business. This
Was made apparent 10y the "evdence"
that was poured out to an eager aud
ertrauced group of listeners at the
council chamber last night. The city
council will, We hope, rise equal to the
emergency.

COOPERATIVE MINING.

The leasing system of working mines,
which has come into much popularity in
New Mexico camps in few years, is
spoken of by practical mining men as
possessing many advantageous features
over the old plan of mining corporations
employing day labor. Asis well known,
love Of the exciting chase for rich min
eraI. tle hope of striking it rich" with
every stroke of the pick is very ma
teTial incentive TO the mining man. The
day laborer has little of this, but put
him TO work on the lease system and he
not only has this addi ional incentive,
out becomes personally interested in The
SUCCESS Of the niue, and his pay is in
proportion to his labor, lis skill and his
good fortune. Again there is the CO.
operative principle involved that serves
greatly to bridge the chasm between
LABOR and capital aud causes these two
wealth producing agencies TO move
forward hand in hand for the common
good OF both New Mexico mining cor
porations will do well TO encourage the
lease sysrem.-New Mexican.

MAY REFUSE TO RAISE
FIX Auditor Hughes on the Board
Of Equalization.
Thinks the Railroads VIII Not
Stand the Raise-ValuatioAs
Elsewhere.

Ex-Auditor Thos. Hughes is of the
opinion that when the trunk line rai!-
roads Of Arizona are requested to pay
taxes on an additional $500 mile each
that they simply will not do it.
The question of collecting it anyway
will then arise, and recent instance of
that kind he cites from California. There
| judgment was obtained for over two
millions, after resisting what was con
sidered unreasonable assessments for
six years. The company offered to COM
promise for about half. This was re-
| fused. The probabilities are that tie
amount will not be collected immedi-
ately, says Mr.. Hughes, and that even
tually the state will wish the compro-
mise had been accepted.
ARIzONAs VALUATION THE HIGHEST.
Mr.. Hughes gave the question Of rail
road assessments considerable study.
Arizonas new taxation on through lines
is the largest 10 the country he says. In
the east the average is $500 per mile.
In Kansas, one line, the Atcbison, To-
peka and Santa Fe, is valued at $500 a
mlle-whlch is where 100 trains or more
"A dsy run. Tie remainder Of the lines
OF the state average 5000 a mile.
Throughout the Pac fl, coast states the
average is about the same.
The tax attorney for the Southern
Pacific told Mr.. Hughes that the com
paDy was willing to pay a falr tax, and
would rather do it than to refuse. How
ever, the company has attorneys on
salary and it will cos. little more to fight
the matter than not. And when they
refuse to pay they can devise to keep
Arizona waiting great while longer
than the territory can afford to wait.
When Pin8l county received its taxes
from the Southern Pacific company a
year ago, some $4,000. the sheriff's fees
were not included. The sheriff hest
taied about accepting the money on
that account and consulted Mr.. Hughes
ON the matter.
He was advised by al means to ac-
cept, for If the money once ct to San
Francisco again it would not be return
ed in hurry. The sheriff concluded
he would collect his fees from the
county.
Mr.. Hughes is of the opinion that un-
less the board at its next session cuts
down their late figures they will not
collect anything In hurry.

THE KID AGAIN.
He Tries His Hand on Two Ari-
zona Prospectors and Carries A
way the Camp Supplies, etc.

From Line r der Chas. Smith, who
came in yeasterday from Bisbee, the
Prospector learns that several Mormons
came into Bisbee from Mexico the day
no left with the report that Indians had
made their appearance near their set
ilement and had carried away the entire
camping outfit of two prospectors, who
barely escaped with their lives.
Kid, who was at the reservation of
San Carlos last week, could easily have
been in that neigh bOrhood at the time.
and is all probability the depredating
Indians are no other than KID and his
band. Moreover, Miller, one of the
prospectors, claims to have seen Kid
before he was on the warpath, and
states he was sure that one of the In
dia be saw was Kid. Miller and his
partner, whose name Mr.. Smith has tor
gotten, having been working for the
past few months on II promising mining
claim in the Sierra MRdre mountains
near the head waters of the Bavispe
river, and within three miles of large
saw mill in operation there. They had
oe9n warned to be on the lockout for
| the redskins, it being particularly dan.
gerOus in that part of the country.
Some Indian signs had been noticed
the day previous end an extra sharp
lookout was kept By tde two lonely pros
pectors.
At about noon time the men were pre-
| pairing dinner when suddenly Miller
| noticed wit, in twenty Yards of camp
two Indians rising up from behind a
huge rock. His partner also saw both
| lnulans rise with Winchesters pointed
in their direction. Both men immedi-
ately had visions of scalplng and bull
let holes, when luckily one the Indian
missed Lis footing and fell against bis
companion, who i'll turn slipped, and
the Wine esters simultaneously dis
charged, widely missing their NJ ark, and
before the Indians could regain their
former position, the prospectors mad
tracks for civilization and arrived at the
saw mill in due time. Miller, who
weighs two hundred pounds, astonished
his ieaner companion in the sprintipe
contest by coming In several yards
ahead.
A posse was hastily formed from the
mill and Mormon settlement near BY

PoPULIsT farmers of the state OF Wash
ington are pushing forward the ware
house System. During the last two or
three years the alliances in Palcnse
county, which comprises the greater
part of eastern Washington and Is one
of the most productive wheat belts in
the world, have been building their o" q
grain warehouses on the cooperative
plan. This proving a success, 1t is no"
their purpose to erect terminal ware
house at tidewater, which Will place
them in direct communication with the
markets Of the world. The company
has been organized with capital stock
OF $4,000 in shares Of S25 EACH The
CITY of Tacoma, situated on Puget
sound, has been decided upon for the
location. The business men of that
pace have given a very valuable tie CT
six acres of ground and further donated
$4,000 toward the $4,000 or 100000
necessary for the cost of erection. The
opposition from the IA lroads ard grain
speculators will be strong, but the
farmers presenting an unbroken front
will w.n. II is hoped very soon to
secure some legislative relief by the
appointment of q grain ispectOr.
