About two weeks ago a man hy the name of Sam Lewis died in London.
 He was a pawnbroker A the chief, and perhaps CHARITABLE the most popular PAWN pawnbroker in the BROKER. world. as Isral Gordon
 was the most despiseo. During his lifetime he spent much in charity and was thus enabled to play upon the saying, He that giveth to the poor .endeth to the Lord" Lewis give to the poor" which was literally true, for Lewis dealings were almost wholly with the aristocracy. His charities. were not all systemati- cally bestowed, but it transplres that the bulk of his vast fortune is to be devoted to charitable purposes, as he had directed.
 Many another millionaire has or dered a similar disposition of his wealth and minimizing people have not fully recognized the charitableness of it.. They say, He could not take his wealth with him, so what could he do with 1t? H. boarded his gold while he lived and sought to curry favor in death by giving to charity money which had become useless to him. Why did he not SOW sunshine as he went along?" This Is a very narrow and uncharitablc view of the dying mill lonaire's motive. Perhaps during his lifetime he sought all the time to do the thing he did at last. If he had "s!oughed off his fortune in the ailevl- ation of suffering as he went along he would have wasted his earning power and thus have failed in his compre- hC nsive plan. It matters little that one man, is permitted to suffer today that the suff ring of another may be reliev- ed tomorrow. It is much better that one man may be allowed to starve to death | this year. if there by means are being gathered that the starvation of ten l men may be prevented ten years hence. |
 It is we'll enough to scatter stray rays of sunshine as one goes through life if one does not draw upon the volume of sunshine which will burst forth later upon the consumma ton of vast plans )f charity

It has been explained to the satisfac- ton of all present that the clauses in the proposed city charter relative to snow, ice, harbors, warves. docks. slips, etc, were not left in the document by oversight, and were not inserted to meet possible emergency that Phoe- nix would some time be a maritime city, or that in time to come the sea- sons would so change that ice and snow would become familiar and ser ious questions. Those two clauses only call attention to varied climatic con ditions of the territory, and the char ter which must be general law, must be broad enough to cover all towns which elect to take shelter under its protecting wing. Prescott and Flag staff are always exposed to the danger of snow. and lee in the winter time. and the broad and noble river which by Yuma flows always, exposes the need of wharves, docks, slips and land ings to that municipality.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FEBRUARY ?, 19Ol

A bill for the abolition of the board of equalization was introduced in the
 assembly yesterday. The BANGLES only argument We have INSTEAD so far heard advanced OF TANES. in favor of the extinc-
 ton of ghis board is that it is an arm of the administration and ought to be Topped off; that the gov ernor has to great power. It has not been charged. We believe, that this power has been used unwisely, TOT has it been charged thaE the men who compose the present board are not fitted by judgment. experience and hon. esty for the duties which the law has set for them to do. That the admin istration should be shorn Of any power is in itself a matter of very little im~ portanCe. The authority to appoint three or four officers is une which, perhaps, a governor does not greatly desire, and We are quite positive tha: the gentlemen who compose the board are not concerned in the prospect of their personal extinction. though no doubt as taxpayers they are anxious to know who Is going to perform the work they have been performing. the equalization of values throughout the 1ion will be equita5ly distributed. Those who favor the abolition of the board say that this will be done at a conference of supervisors, but will It be done when there IS no provision of the law which assures an agreement among twelve or fifteen men upon so great variety of subjects as wll! 3e brought before them?
 Separate boards oc supervisors under The proposed arrangement would each try to make the burden of it's own county as light as possible. Even un- der the present system the supervisors knowing that their work will Dc re- viewed, exhibit this tendency. We fail 10 see how there can be territorial equalization of values under the pro- posed system. The present. one may be no better than some other that could be devised. but it must be ap- parent to any thinking mar that val ues can be equitably levc'ed only by some central board or commission. ar- | pointed by the governor. elected by the l people or chosen by lot. However 1t may be chosen. 1t must rot only be | clothed with power to equaliZe asscss- l ment, but must be compelled to do ic. | It Is equally apparent that three or four men can agree more easily than | fifteen, and it is apparent. too, that . county supervisor in such a conference as Is pTopos d would vigorously oppose concessions with which his cpnstitu- ents might not be pleased. and the re. suit of the conference must be entirely made up of concessions. The pl,.n cut lined in house bill No. 21, in lieu of the territorial board of equalization Is .m- practical and can be productive of nothing but embarrassment.
