the needs OF the 9OvernmsOI, honestly J
and economically administered, il
radically wrong and should be chang
ed. Just what the remedy is 1 am
not prepared to say. I thiuk it is plain
however, that the deficit comes prin-
cipally from an under valuation Of
the property of tho territory and the
escape Of a large amount of property
from taxation due to the carelessnss
of the assessors or others.
The taxes for the support of some
of the most important and expensive
institutions are made continuing by
the legislature, which, while nu doubi
were ample at the time they were
made, are now. owing to increase OF
population at these institutions, (pr's-
on snd asyIum), not sufficient. The
expenses Of these institutions for sew
eral years have exceeded the sppro--
priations and the general fund has
had to be drawn on. This is VIE a
part OF the deficiency comes in.
In view of the situation and espec
tally in view of the fact that the leg
lature will not meet again for nearly
a year and half, I have taken the
liberty to depart from the general
custom and ask your honorable body
to give this matter your most careful
attention, with view of devising a
remedy for the existing embarrass-
ment.
If you have the power to legally do
so, at your present meeting, genera!
raise on the valuation Of all the prop
erty of the territory, of IS to so per
cent, might provide a temporary rem
edy I am not sure, however, tha,
you have that power, and il you have
| am not sure it would be wise to ex-
ercise it. ! only offer it as q susses-
ton
Unless an equal raise upon All pro
perty can be legally made, raise ou
none should be made, except such as
may appear to be just, as you proceed
with your regular duties as a board
of equalization.
Very respectfully,
MYRoN H. McCoRD,

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Following is the message addressed

taken from Coffee Greek in that county

that way. Trinity ccunty has long

pursued in quiet and somewhat ir-
regular way. Twenty five years ago
we saw quantities Of nuggets that had
been taken from the rich gulches Of

CALIFORNIA, as gold producer, can
hold her own with Klondyke and all
the other sold sections of the north
west. That State turns out annually
not less than $l7,00O.000, aud still
this steady stream pouring into the
avenues of business from that one
state excites no comment from abroad
and little attention from her own citi-
zens. Arizona turns out close upon,
il not quite $6,00O,O0O annually in
gold. Notwithstanding ,h"se enor-
nous outputs of the precious meta, {,
no great rush of excited thousands is
seen; yet the sturdy miner keeps right
along washing from the glittering
sands and melting from ths rocks the
yellow nuggets. The announcement,
however, the $500. 900, or 81 900, 900
has bee, taken frou beneath the
SHOWS OF Kiondyke. causes the widest
excitement ever known and rush OF
thousands of people who know meth
ing about mining or the inclemencies
of weather and hardships they must
endure. We can but hope that none
no 90 to Klondyke will be disap-
pointed, and yet to hope thus is use
less and unreasonable.

A RINGING LETTER.

We give space TO the following ta-
ken with the above heading from the
Phoenix Gazette Of the 18th inst.
| The letter of Governor McCord to
the territorial board of equalization, pu
lished in this issue of the Gazette, ia
document that the people of Arizona
,, will read with pleasure. 1t is a manly.
honest recommendation that ought to
receive. the carefnl consideration OF
the gentlemen to whom it is addressed.
This letter tells its own story; it tells
In langaage not to be misconstrued
that Arizona has MAN at the helm OF
the affairs of state, ri4an who has not
only the courage, but the ability. to
do right: man who, in obedience to
his oath of office, proposes to admin
lister the affairs of the territory in the
interest of the whole people, not The
few. The affairs of Arizona hereto
fore. from the executive Office, have
been managed in the interest of annual
oasses. Railroads and other corpo-
rations have dominated the business
interests of this territory for quarter
of century, and it is indeed refresh
ing TO see man with brains and
courage enough 10 take g STAND TO
ARIZONA. The Gazette entertains
nothing but the MOST kindly FEELING
for corporations, but we do not like
to live under q government dominated
by them. Deal with them as with
other citizens, and th-.t is what Gov.
ernor McCord's letter says in emphat
ic terms.
Proper returns from the various
counties of Arizona of ALL cattle and
taxable property within the territory
would bring our assessment roll up
to nearly one hundred million dollars.
Governor MoCord realizes that fact'
aud he asks the board Of equalization
to do their duty-do it as citizens who
have the interests of Arizona at heart,
not of sections or corporate interests.
That is what the governor asks, and
that is what the people of Ar'zon"
demand. The Inauguration Of bust
ness principals in the affairs OF this
territory, as set forth by the governor,
means new era for ARIZONA; it means
that instead OF writing on the back
OF terri,oria! variants, Not paid for
want of funds" We will soon hhve

surprised his enemies in many ~ays
since his installation in office, and this

best that has ever been made by a
governor since Abraham Lincoln lift
ed the stars and stripes over this far
away territory. The Gazette feels
that at last Arizona has a governors
we feel that we have vigorous, hon .
est man at the helm, and one whom
the people will stand by to the last
