WILL YAVAPAI
 BE DIVIDED :?
An lntimati0n Thrown Out That We
 Are to be Cut in Two.
A Nut to Crack for the Wild and Heed
 less Partisan.

NhAS NOuhtJ. AoAhc ALOm luo iutcf- est shown by the United Verde Copper Company and the heavy vote they controlled and handled presumably for sheriff, district at torney, and supervisors, there turks silently nevertheless behind their formal entry into Ysvapai political life, more than the ordinary person seems inclined to grasp. The in- tentions of this company long ago were inviOlablY given out to enter the field of politics in Yayapai, and how well they have carried out their threat and accomplished their pur- pose, the present answers concius- lively. Flushed with victory that echoes back to them the power to do as they will, without regard to any man or any interest, and following out their inclinstions to still further conquer in their wild and frantic ambition, their wrath and vengeance is to be further and more vindictiye- ly displayed by stopping at neither the people nor the county. Nearly year ago it was quietly given out that this powerful corporation with its equally powerful vote was to place itself in line with not only personal propositions of a political nature, but that if successful in that they would sssail the integrity of the country as a government-cut and slash it, as it were. Today the impression prevails of their charae- teristic disposition to stop at noth- ing, and the cutting in two of Yav- spai county. and the creation there by of Verde county, of which Je- rome, of course, IS to be the county seat, is 6 settled matter; or at least it seems to be if reports are to be considerably weighed. While we will for the present say nothing about the legislative makeup from this county which is supposed to deal honorably, and justly by the sacred interests of s community they are supposed to represent, but which they are not bound by polIti- cal motives to speak for or against, the plain unvarnished fact remains nevertheless that if the existence of county government is to be main tained by the people on one hand or shattered by anybody or combine on the other, it is time now that the rip-shod methods which have pre- vailed in Arizona legislative chan nels should be needed st once and preparations accordingly made to guard against a repetition of that conduct which prevailed some years ago in a snap session when Coco nino and Yavapai were cut in two without any consideration for prin- ciple or regard for Yavapai. Flush ed with its victory in not only county but territorial affairs, we be- lieve the United Verde Company will not stop at anything it desires to advocate.
 Back of it's socalled claims for separate county government, fl such IS true, it has the backing of its own untaxed millions of dollars in mining, and the fertile Verde val lev and the agricultural, stock, timber and independent mining in- terests of others to sustain it as corporate body. More than this it will dictate 8 political principle wherein the whims or the fancies of the few will throw on the weak and the many 6 servitude that will crush and curse.
 The United Verde Company di- rect and indirect pays taxes on less than S500,0 valuation. The com mercial and other interests of the town of Jerome, and the country affected by the big cut, will give a total of S5OO,OOO more. The new county proposed, will, then, have an independence of it's own and in it's establishment will necessarily escape in the future a righteous regard of it's wealth. which under conditions not prevailing even now in politics, 1t must sooner or later come face to face with, however. The proposi tion is gigantic one, but what does a mighty corporation fear if it can conquer. Principles are no more to it than the men they can handle. They know it, and the writer can substantiate it as coming directly from one of them.
 We believe it is the duty of every conscientious taxpayer in Yavapai, regardless of political belief, to candidly and solemnly consider thIs hybrid proposition. Further, we believe for the present the people at large in Arizona should likewise re- fleet on the merits of this overt act to slash and retard a community that today is giving to Arizona a generous proportion of its wealth and influence.
 Without going into a discussion of the partisan phases of this pro- position to dismember a community we believe and know that the pres ent executive Uf Arizona, N. O. Mur- phy, will conscientiously and zeal ously cope with this community in candid consideration of the ques- tion to the extent of hls power. morally and officially. and we also believe that the people of thIs county can trust him with any re- sponsibility in this line or any other that may come before him that has for it's object the unwanton sacrifice of its political and financial in terests.
