IN THE appointment of delegates to the Republican Territorial convention, Pima county has been given thirteen as against nineteen for Maricopa county, and eleven for Coconiuo county. Without examining very carefully into the matter, we are of the opinion that Pima county has been discriminated against in the apportionment. There is such business as Overdoing a good thing. Tucson Citizen.
 The ouly way that Pima county can get more delegates is for the Republi- cans to increase their vote. This might have been done two years ago had the Republicans not voted for the Democratic delegate to Congress- Pima county and the Citizen may know why it went Democratic two years ago.

FARClCAL INVESTIGATIONS.

The report of the Salem Humane
society committee on alleged abuses at
the State Reform school illustrates In
striking manner the worthlessness of
such Investigations. Legislative in
vestigations are not so good, because
they cost great deal of money. This
cost no taxpayer a cent, and in this re-
spect 1t was better. The investigation
was an unauthorized piece of business
anyhow, almost foOlhardy imperti-
nence. The committee had no power
to compel witnesses. 1t was at the in
stitution only by courtesy. 1t had not
particle of right to go there to investi-
gate. Its findings are not binding and
have no weight to implicate or exoner-
ate. 1t did disclose unintentionally, a
bad state of affairs at the Reform school,
but 1t did not and could not fix any
responsibility for 1t. 1t illustrates what
farce all such Investigations are.
Grand jury Investigations, if they
would take the time and were backed
by vigilant public prosecutor, de-
termined to get at the facts and locate
criminal responsibility If there is any,
with view 70 prosecute the guilty
with all the power of the law, might
amount to something. There has
either been crime committed or not.
If there has, some one should be pun
ished. If not, all should be exoneratt d
and not left hanging suspended in the
air by hair of doubt In favor of some
one, no one knows whom. If the
grand jury would investigate such mat
ters thoroughly, take its time, summon
witnesses, compel all to attend and
tell what they know under oath, and
then indict the guilty and exonerate
the innocent there would be some bene-
fit flowing to the people.
But all such Investigations are worth
less, as rule. All legislative investiga-
tions we have ever known have been a
"whitewashing" performance, or par
tisan intrigue, TO blecken some ones
character. IL partisan, no one pays
any attention to its findings, In either
case II is wasteful useless expenditure.
The Humane society investigation is
an illustration of this. The true REM
edy lies in putting men in charge Of
