the Chicago platform in the prese MT
campaign. The committee meeting was

Hill and the Tammany leader, John

by Chairman J Z. Jones, of the Nation

had ignored the Chicago platform the

deemed equitable. Certainly boards of supervisors should have m6re in innate knowledge of values ih their respective counties and of the revenues required to discharge the annual cur rent obligations of the counties than the territorial board of equalization as now constituted, and where it cau not be shown that corporations or special interests have been favored, county boards should not be subject to nrbi- trary control by the territorial board.
 There ought to be limit to the amount of taxes levied upon the co,,n- ties for the support of the territorial government The levy for territorial purposes has this year reached the ex- cessive rate of s0l cents on each $lOO valuation, which with the increased assessment of all property in tho ter ritory will yield nearly quarter of a million of dollars for territorial rev enues, very large amount which should be more than ample to meet all the territory's obligations and current expenses of government. But Arizona will be extremely fortunate if at the end of the year the usual treasury deficit does not appear. The tendency of all state, county and municipal gov ernments is to increase their expen- dituIes more rapidly than their rev enues grow. This Is fact demon stratsd in tue affairs of Arizona and the several counties and municipalities thereof, with but rare exceptions, and there is no reason to look for reform in governmental management. Mari copa county collects taxes on an assess- ment roll of about S9,00O, 900, yield ing a revenue of S200, ,000 or more, yet she is heavily in debt and her tax rate has not been materially lowered.
 Escape from our present financial difficulties will not come from unjustly raising taxable values, but by equaliz- ing salaries, reducing the current ex- penses of our public institutions, and by concert of action in opposing legis. lation which robs the tax payer and bi- annually adds S200,000 or more to the territory's obligations.
 Navajo county supervisors are to be commended for the independent stand they have taken, and We hope their course will have tendency to strengthen weak-kneed supervisors in other counties.
