would be a mistake to carve Clark county out of Yavapai. Yavapai is alright as she is.-Williams News. A Mir. NAvE,o Nogales, late Secre- tary of the Code Commission, came to Phoenix with blood in his eye for the printers. It appears that the code has excluded most everything in the way of legal notices which was to the great satisfaction of Mir. Nave. The press Association took the matter up and it was not long in etfectually disposing of the eman.-Prescott Prospect.
 The Territory of Arizona can afford to meet the federal government half way in the matter of National Guard appropriation. Of an appropriation made by Congress the National Guard of this territory wi Il receive more than 5000 in supplies and equipment. Now let the Legislature provide payment of rent for places to keep them and other small expenses necessarily incurred in keeping the organization together.- Phenix Republican.
 "Some idea of the rapid growth of the work of the University may be gained" said Prof. Forbes to Bulletin reporter last week, ''from the fact that when became connected with the in- stitution six and half years ago there were but fifty students then and they were mostly boys in knee pants and girls in short dresses, who lived in Tue son. Now there are 2l3 students in the University and they come not only from every section of Arizona, but several states are represented.
 The assessment of the Territory of New Mexico is falling off. Two years ago the assessed valuation of New Mex leo amounted to S46, 100000. Arizona's taxable property is slowly increasing, but not in proportion to the growth in wealth in the territory.-Bnlletin.
 H. J. Allen the financial manager of the United Verde Copper company. was in town to-day discussing county divis- n. Mir.

 President Ives of the Council showed good judgment when he appointed Hon Geo. P. Blair, of Pinal county, as chair man of the Judiciary committee. Mr. Blair is lawyer of experience and a man of exception ability.-Star.
 The suggestion that the Legislature ought to provide for constitutional convention will hardly receive any ser ious consideration by tha body as such a convention, without authority of a congressional enabling act would be barren of results save the heavy ex- pense which would be incurred. The congress of tha United States will not allow Arizona or any other Territory to be admitted to statehood by the back door process. A large number of sena- tors have already expressed themselves very strongly on the subject. Arizona need not expect to be admitted save by and through an enabling act.-Star.
 The Gazette hopes to see the demo- cratic legislature rrinstate the Arizo- na National Guard, Arizona is the only state or territory in the Union that has cut off the legitimate appropriation for militia maintenance and we all hope that the error will be rectified.
 The proposal of Mr. Kimball of Gra- ham county, to reduce the mileage al- lowed Sheritfs' officers and constables will not we fear, encounter the appro- val of the persons whom it will effect, if it should become law. The reduc- tions would amount to eighteen cents a mile and in the course of a year it would cut Q great figure with the army of sheritfs, deputies, constables and their deputies, who travel in the ag- gregate far enough to girdle he globe, many times every year.

Efforts to reduce fees have seldom been successful in AriZo- ma legislatures, so there is no strong reason to believe that Mr. Kimball's bill will pass. Mileage, it is argued, is merely fee. and was never intended
