 There is no class of men who give away their means of livelihood more freely, recklessly and inconsistently than the publishers of newspapers. The publisher is a merchant with goods to sell. His stock in trade is his adver- tising space. He should not be expect ed t0 give it away any more than a landlord should give his house free Of rent, CT the grocer donate his goods to any one who asks for them, yet many people, who would not ask the gift of a pound of salt from q grocer or yard of ribbon from a dry goods dealer, ex- pect publisher to give away space cheerfully.-EX.
 A goodly crowd of the business men of the town met at the opera house last Thursday afternoon to discuss the pros and cons of incorporation. Everybody seemed wound up and every fellow had q new idea. The argument appeared to be bird shot fired from blunder- buss, as while the discussion was va ried and interesting the results of the entire afternoon of arguing consisted solely of the appointment of commit tee, to submit a report at a meeting next Thursday afternoon on an approx innate income to meet the probable eX- penseS of running a city government. The business msn are using all prscau- tion in regard to incorporation, for it is a question that has strong argument both for and against. The committee appointed consists of Messrs, Joseph Johnston, James Walsh and M. Salz- man-all conservative bushes msn and substantial citizens of the town.-Wil- Hams News.
 The Santa Fe Pacific railroad com pany has made a tender of about s2.300 in full for taxes on it's property in Mo have county, claiming that a recent de- cisiOn of the supreme court of the Unit ed States court relieves them from tax On road bed and right-of-way. The company's tax amounts to over $16,0C0 in the county and if it refuses to final ly pay the full amount it will leave the county in hard straits for the next year. There is an old agreement with the Santa Fe company that should certain suits, then in the supreme court of Ari- zona, be dismissed, payment would therefore be made on an assesse1 value Of $5,000 per mile. The company has lived up to this agreement up to the present time and it seems to Us to be a short-sighted policy on the part of the management to break the compact at this time. If persisted in ire @nt and fare bill will most assuredly 80 through the legislature this winter and the company will lose far more in the end than they will have gained by non payment of taXes.-Mohave Miner
