The following from the Tucson Star may be considered official from the gov ernor, and expressed as he would have it expressed. It undoubtedly repre- sents the views of the executive on the Baker decision, knocking out the dm- migration commissioner act:
 "The decision of Justice Baker on the legality of the immigration Jaw is only binding on Maricopa county until such time as the supreme court passes upon fine same. and until that time the law stands as the law of the territory. It appears from reading the decision or Justice Baker that the entire case was decided on the point that the court does not consider the office of immlgra- tion commissioner as a necessary eX- pense, as contemplated by the Organic Act, and upon this the decision was made and rests. It appears that the legislature made up of the representa- tives of the people of the territory thought that the creation of this office was a necessary expense as a means ot reducing taxation by increasing invest ments and population through imml- grafton of homeseekers and those seek ing investments. The sixty to seventy thousand dollars expended by the ter ritorial commissioners of immigration, which was devoted to the advertise ment of Maricopa county, increased the taxable value of that county more than an hundred fold, and the benefit re- ceived by Maricopa county can in a measure (be experienced by every other county in Arizona if they are allowed or encouraged to make their resources known to the country at large, and this is just what the law making power had in mind when it passed the immdgra- tion law, and there is little doubt but what the supreme court will sustain the legality of the law when it comes before that body, as Justice Baker is unquestionably mistaken in his appli- cation of the principle upon which he rests his decision.'
 From the above it is to be noted that the administration still maintains its position on the famous act and pro- poses to stand by it to the last ditch. In regard to the matter of appeal to the supreme court hinted at, that is not likely to be had, as the amount of the salary at dispute and for which Mari copa county was sued was but $50, too small an amount to go into the supreme court with.
 There can be no doubt, however, that throughout the territory the decision has been considered as final and that the supervisors will act accordingly and with especial care that their cur tailed powers be not overstepped.

READY FOR STATEHOOD.

New York Mercury: George Christ, of Arizona, who has served on the Re- publican National committee, and is regarded as politician of more than average ability, is east on a business trip.
 MT. Christ says he expects that a bill will be passed through the next congress admitting Arizona into the Union. We are entitled to statehood, he said. We have sufficient popula- tion and the natural resources of Ari- zona equal, if they do not excel those of any of the new states of the northwest. Arizona has been grossly misrepre- sented in the east There is a growing
Arizona republican., 1895-11-22

impression that it is the jumping-off place of creation; that it is simply a barren waste of sand, and that it's in- habitants are mostly cut-throats, thieves and outlaws.
 "'There is absolutely no foundation for such an assertion. The population of Arizona, as a class, will compare with that of any state, not excepting the old commonwealths of the east, and as for the topography of the country, there is more tillable land in Arizona than in the state of New York, and the mineral resources of the territory are more valuable than those of Colorado. Ari- zona will not take a back seat, and I am confident that she will soon be a member of the sisterhood of states ,

Mining and Scientific Press: One year ago a prominent Butte, Mont, copper man said he expected to see copper go ito six cents inside of six months. Since then it has gone from nine to twelve cents, and the great de mand in the electrical industrial field justifes the belief that unless new de- velopments are made or old ones re- opened the red metal will go higher. Men who have long mined copper say it can be produced at a price of four and one-half cents. Probably when all things are considered this is a low fig ure, but it is almost demons5raIble that at twelve cents there is an average of 100 per cent profit to the producer. Hence the quest for copper is second only ito the present pursuit of gold.

San Francisco now claims to be blIt five votes of getting the Republican convention and appears to lead all other cities for the place. Its very re- moteness from the east appears to be even an advantage, as allowing for the work of the convention without the presence of the usual thousands of ward politicians who ever flock to Chi cago or equally central points. The whole Pacific coast should get on the Frisco towline and pull with a will.

1t appears both odd and reprehensi- ble that several counties of northern Arizona send their county funds to Al buquerque there to be deposited.

OBJECTED TO THE DESERT

Be Reappointed

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 5.-The as
sessment on the Crafts property which
was reduced from S34, 900 to $3.50 on the
books in the tax collectors office Mon
day, the account Of which was published
in this mornings Herald, has been the
talk of the court house today. and in
deed of tho city. Such q remarkable
situation of affairs was never before
known. and the more it is thought of the
more surprising it is.
Some of the mem bers Of the board of
supervisors, as well as other county Uiii .
GERS, thought they had found loophole
when they discovered section 3SS OF the
political code, but when they came to in
terview District Attorney Daley. they
found that he had carefully considered
the section before giving his opinion.
The seotiun is as follows:
Commissions, errors or defects IN form
in any assessment book, when 1t can be
ascertained thereirom what was intend
ca, may, with the writtsn consent of the
district attorney, be suppliedor corrected
by the assessor at any time prior to the
sale for deli quent taxes, after the as
sessment was made"
'But there is no ON ission, error or de-
in discussing the matter th morning,
NOR can 1T be ascertained tnerefrom
what was intended. 1t is plain case of
excessive assessment which the hoard of
equalization only, and no other agency
known to the law, mad the right to
change
Of course the evident good faith of
every body connected with the whole
transaction is considered by everybody,
but IT is still an unsolved problem how
the books of the tax collector and auditor
will be balanced.
