MORE TAxLESs TooTs.

The Phoenix Herald has the fol- lowing to say:
 There remains little doubt that the Rock Island road will build through central Arizona one of these days on its way to San Diego. IL has secured termmal facilities at San Diego and the establishment of terminus of a Trans Pacific line ot steamers w.ll hasten the construction ofthls iina.
 We trust the railroad swIp~r up the street will not be carried of it's feet, by this premature announce ment, for if the above road does strike Prescott under legal condi- tions as they prevail today in Ari- zona, he would have to enlarge the valve of his personal wrath, and keep steam up necessarily. For our part, and with also a deep regard for the interests of all Arizona, aud especially Prescott, we trust the Rock Island will show up in this city. and If tax exemption is to bring it along, may it hurry up the new road, and that too, before tax exemption is knocked out by the Court of Personal Abuse and Politi- cal OemagoguerF.
