Under the pretense OF UNFOLDING the
pause of the thrifty, some newspapers
IRE condemning the senate amend
tnent imposing tax OF one
nuarier OF enc per cent on bank
Deposits, whether those deposits are In
banks with or without capital stock. No
wise man woaid desire to put any OBJ
stacle in the way Of thrift. but we can
not believe that there Is any man IN
.khs United States WHO IL so good a citi-
gen that he has put by one hundred
doIlars. who would refuse to contribute
'two bits" to the expenses Of war In
which his country Is Sc vitality inter-
ested.

are equally an assault upon accun1uia-
tons. The tax borne By all forms Of
property. real estate. house. a farm,
live stock, implements, personal proper
ty of any kind. stocks. bonds, money
or on income, Is tax On accommodations
1t Is sudicsous to relieve the poorest
as much as possible from taxation, but
having avoided harshness. the next best
principle il to make tt absolutely i'm
partial and fair in proportion. This the
simple tax OF one quarter Of one per
cent. on banks deposits viii dc. The
man who has only one hundred dollars
viii pay two bits a year: the man who
has one thousand dollars VIII pay two
dollars and a half. He who has such
means that he can put by one hundred
dollars would not hesitate to pay TWEEN
ty-five cents for ticket to picnic or
a dance; will he be more niggardly In
contributing to a fund whose necessity
is occasioned by the needs Of his coun-
try in a war undertaken en- behalf OF
humanity and involving so much to
his country's interests
1t IL urged that the amount required
by the government should be raised
preferably by indirect taxation This
means that it should be placed upon the
necessaries Of life, which would newt
ably lead 20 a higher price being de-
manded for articles In daily use. We
cannot see the justice of taxing those
articles which are needed to sustain
life, and to obtain which 80 many people
are engaged In a constant struggle even
at present prices. and leaving untouched
the surplus over mans wants.
The best system Of taxation will al
ways aim to avoid placing any burden
upon that which mans wants compel
him to buy. and place the burden upon
that which he is fortunate enough to
acquire over anu dUDSc Ills i3cCCSSiiicS,
Statistics show that the average de-
post is less than four hundred dollars.
The tax on this average would. there
fore, be one dollar per annum. The tax
should not be borne by current deposits,
Of course, because much Of the money
standing to mans credit Is merely
placed in the bank for safe keeping, and
often represents sums passing through
his hands In the course Of business but
not his own property. 1t might be said
that in order to evade the tax people
would exchange their time deposits TO
call deposits; but this is not at all prob
able, because 1t would mean a sacrifice
of interest. The usual interest on time
deposits is three per cent, but even IL
1t were only two per cent. no man
would give up the chance OF making
sl75 interest because, by paying the tax
he would not get two dollars.
A war tax is an emergency tax, and
no citizen should seek to evade 1t when
it imposes no hardship.

The American colony in Paris paid q
very graceful compliment 10 the French
nation and displayed very commendabls
spirit in the particular attentions paid to
the tomb OF Lafayette. Although the
ceremony OF decorating the graves Of
American soldiers extends chiefly to those
who fell in the civil war. it was a very
appropriate opportunity to show that We
eth remember the friends who stood by Us
in the war for independence.

EXPECTATION OF A FIGHT.

Even before these words reach the
public the news may have come over
the wires of a great naval victory. The
news already received IS to the effect
that Notwithstanding all the threatened
danger of forcing passage through the
narrow channel into the harbor Of San
tiago de Cuba, Commodore Schley has
made Dewey dash and Is attacking
the Spanish feet.
There seems to be no reason for longer
concealment OF the actual conditions by
the authorities. II Cervera is in the har-
Dor and Schley is watching for him on
the outside no publication Of news In
American papers can help him. The
knowledge Of these facts has long ago
reached Madrid by cable. but even that
knowledge does not enable the Cadiz
fleet TO cross the ocean more rapidly or
with a greater strength than Sampson
can match IL with. That fleet is still at
Cadlx, and the indications are that the
government Will hesitate a long time
before leaving the coast exposed TO at
tack by sending its only reliance to the
aid OF Cervera, only TO be met by Samp-
son.
IL Is fair to presume that the army
will row he dispatched 10 the eastern
end of Cuba with a view 10 following
UP the destruction OF the Spanish feet
by an attack upon the land forces. With
one squadron at Santiago and Ameri-
can troops on land there. and Samp-
sons feet accompanied by another
army In the nelghborhood OF Havana.
the conquest os Cuba will be only
question OF very short time.
Expectation has been so long on the
anxious seat that the news OF possible
action Is received with great rejoicing.

our army and navy get the opportunity

CAPTAIN kELTON FOR SHERIFF,

The democrats of Nogales and the
southern and eastern end of the coun-
Ey lave decided on Capt. G B. Kelton
for the nomination for the office of
sheriff of Pima county, and they will
go to the convention asking for moth
ing else than the Off of sheriff
Captain Kelton is too well known in
Arizona to need any recommendation
from US for every man, woman and
ttlild knows him and his we'll known
6iXh moral character aud ability as a
peace officer makes him a winning
candidate for the office which he seeks.
We have heretofore RETAINED from
making any comments favorable or
+Stherwise in reference to any of the
candidates for nomination, but now
Chat Opt. Kelton is the only candi-
date to be asked for from southern
Pima county we are constrained to
support his candidacy. We have only
abe kindest feeling for all the other
candidates and should any OF them re
GHve the nomination we are for them
Heart and soul but we b, lieve it is the
duty of the convention to give No
gales and the southern end OF the
county this nomination as it is Ill We
ask for. It is conceded 10y all that
che south is entitled to her fair share
Of the Offices and as the sheriffs office
has never been given this end of the
county and as we present the name of
q good clear democrat and frst-class
and able citizen for this Office we be-
5ieve it will be given IS.

IT is evident from the tone of the
republican territorial platform adopted
at Prescott the other day that the re-
publicans are gong to whitewash the
silver question. They say nothing
about silver, but strongly endorse the
national platform which places them
on the gold platform. They certainly
cannot hope to elect a gold delegate
to congress in a free silver country like

Headquarters County Democratic Central Com
mittee of Pima County.
Tucson, Arizona, Sept. 20. 1895
Dear Sir.-To avoid any and all complications
or MISUNDERSTANDING in party ranks SO
that we may meet our common enemy united
and with our full strength, the call for the
primaries and county convention issued under
date of Sept. and, 1898, by Joseph Scott is here
with confirmed as to day and date follows:
The convention to be held is called to meet at
the county court house in the city of Tucson,
Arizona, at the hour of noon,
MONDAY THE CD DAY OF OCTOBER, 1898,
for the following purposes to-wit:
First. To nominate persons as democratic can
didates to be voted for at the ensuing general
election to be held November Sth, 1885, to fill the
various Legislative, County and Precinct Offices.
Second. To select County Democratic Central
Committee for the ensuing two years, and to
form any and all other things and matters that
said convention may deem proper on behalf of
the democratic party of Pima County.
The basis of representation for the several pre-
cincts shall be follows: Tucson, IS delegates;
Nogales, delegates; all other precincts dele
gate each for every IS votes cast for delegate to
congress at the last general election and one for
each fraction thereof, being not less than
| The delegates to be chosen in the different
recincts shall be selected by primary election
| to be held on the "a day of September, 1898, be-
| tween the hours of g O'Clock a. and O'Clock
| p M, and the delegates shall be chosen in such
| manner the democrats in the different pre-
| cincts shall determine.
| The members of this committee from Tucson
precinct shall name the persons to constitute the
election board in said precinct, and the members
of this committee from Nogales precinct shall do
the same for the precinct. The qualifications re-
qured for votes in addition to those prescribed
! by law shall be that they endorse the platform
| of the last National Democratic Convention and
pledge themselves to vote for all the candidates
to be nominated by the county convention afore
said.
| If two charmen and two secretaries for the
| Democratic party not sufficient to defeat our
| enemy, then we will appoint third. Now boys

The supervisors of Pima and Co
chise counties should expend a little
money in repairing the Huachuca
mountain roads. The cattle men and
miners in that portion of the counties
pay thousands of dollars in taxes each
year and receive no benefit at ALL
Their roads are in deplerable condi-
on and yet a few hundred dollars
judiciously spent would put them in
good condition. The supervisors would
do kiAdly act by appropriating q
little road money to these districts.

THAT old democratic wheel horse
and political organizer, Hon. Thomas
z. Parish. has been selected for chair
man of the Territorial democratic CEN
trail committee and he will make things
hum for the election of Hon J F Will
son as delegate to congress. Ar
Parish is one of the ablest men in the
democratic party and his we'll known
ability as party organizer makes him
an ideal man to conduct the campaign.
He is ably assisted by Frank P Trott,
one OF eur leading young democrats of
Phoenix. The two have full sway to
vote on all questions for the com
mittee and we can vouch for the bust
ness being well done.

HE'S IS A FOUNDER.

There is one accomplishment pos
sessed by Col. Wilson that his oppo-
nent, whoever he may be, will lack.
The general can start his voice going
and leave it with the certainty that
at will be pounding away on his return.
Arizona Republican.
That is the kind of voice to have;
Wilson's voice was the second called
for in the Chicago convention, where
it pounded away for free silver and
the pounding is still heard; it pounded
away in Washington against the con-
> firnation of McCord and it was still
pounding away when the territorial
democratic convention nominated him
for cong ess and it will pound away
after he gets there in the interests OF
all Arizonans. There is nothing so
grateful to the ears of all Arizonans as
the pounding away of Wilson's voice,
past, present and future. Let it keep
pounding away" on the same lines
which it has and all honest men will
rejoice. and the pounding away of cor
poration gold bug sheets like the Ari
gena Republican will grow faint in

THE democrats of Nogales precinct
will tomorrow hold their primaries to
elect delegates to the county conven-
ton which will be held at Tucson
October 8. Only good conservative
bu:iness men should be sent to Tucson;
men who will go up there and consult
with the Tucson delegates and make
an honest endeavor in business way
to get what Nogales wants without
creating any disturbance in the party
Nogales is entitled to certain things
and the right men can go there and
get it.
