are men who read all such matters
 with great interest. Only last
 week gentleman residing in Phoe-
 nix informed THE OASIS editor
 that he had read every incorpora-
 tion article published in the Phoe-
 nix papers during the last five years; another he instanced had
 read all the published proceedings
 of lhe board of supervisors and
 board of control, their disburse-
 ments, etc. There are enough men
 who read aud remember these things to keep the body of the peo-
 pie informed of what is transpiring ill heir local government. Could
 Fred Hughes have successfully conducted his own peculiar pecul- ations as clerk of the board of sup ervisors of Pima county through a period of years, had the board done its duty and published its proceed ings and the list of warrants drawn3 Of course not. With publication there would have heen wide knowledge of allowances which would have made it impossible for the clerk to manipulate matters as he did. The people are entitled to know all these things; and it is only through the columns of the newspapers that they can know. And for presenting that knowledge to the public the newspapers are entitled to fair compensation-that compensation to be measured by what newspapers elsewhere are paid for similar service, with an advance to cover increased cost of production in Arizona. And when- ever boards of supervisors go to criticising the alleged excessive prices charged by Arizona news has the Pima county board-they are thrusting upon the press impertinence which they would not permit in their own bus mess from anyone.

HOW DO THEY KNOwe

Last week the board of super visors of Pima county rejected all bids for county advertising upon the alleged ground that the prices bid were all excessive.
 Now how do the board of super visors of any county know whether or no any charge for advertising is excessive or, otherwisel Not one printer in ten knows, let alone the ordinary business man or super visor who knows nothing about the printing business, Printing is about like transportation. Neither the conductor who punches your ticket, nor the agent who sold it to you, can tell you whether the com pany is making anything at the rate charged per mile. Only those in the general offices who have access to all the dala-train miles run, passengers carried, fuel con- sumed, cost of track repairs, etc. can get down to the facts and determine whether there is money in a certain tariff schedule or whether it barely pays expenses. Because in New York railways running a dozen trains daily, each filed with passengers, make money carrying people at two cents per mile, it does not follow that rail ways in the west. running but one train day, and that empty or half filled, make money at six cents per mile. But the men handling the traffic don't know anything about it. Nor does the average legisla- tor or supervisor. So with print ing. Only those who have to pay all the bills incurred in running newspaper, and know what is the gross revenue - the proprietors- can tell whether prices are remun- erative. That no one in Arizona has ever got rich in the newspaper business would indicate that prices here are not excessive. As a fact newspapers in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are paid better prices for their work, both public and com mercial, than are the newspapers in Arizona--that is newspapers having the same circulation and costing much more to run. A Wisconsin newspaper buys its white paper from a factory within the state, and it cost but half cent per pound to transport 1t from the factory to the press room. The Arizona newspaper pays the same

 cents per pound for transportation. Everything else is in like propor- ton. Yet sapient supervisors want the Arizona newspapers to render like service for less money than Wisconsin journals charge.
 No Arizona merchant will sell goods at the same prices as do the big department stores in the met ropolitan cities. They plainly say they cannot do business upon that basis. And they charge according ly. Yet the same men will go upon a board of supervisors and and vote to cut down newspaper bills below the eastern level of prices.
 MT. Jacobs, chairman of the Pima board of supervisors is a banker. Upon loans he charges interest at rates varying from twelve to fifteen per cent per an mum, and he wants gilt edged security. In Illinois and Wiscon- sin there is no difficulty in borrow ing money upon no better security at six per cent per annum. Would MT. Jacobs stand for the Arizona newspapers to get twice as much for public printing as the Illinois and Wisconsin newspapers are paid for like service? Yet why should he not? He expects double the in- terest on his money that Illinois and Wisconsin ..bankers get--why should 'nt he be willing that the Arizona newspapers should fare correspondingly? THE OASIS has never discussed the subject with MT. jacobs, but 1t will venture the assertion that he agrees that Ari- zona merchants should not be ex- pected to sell goods at the same prices as do Montgomery. Ward & Co.,; but he seems to think that Arizona newspapers should render service for less money than Illinois newspapers.
 Now, in Wisconsin the law makes compulsory publication of the delinquent tax list in every And newspapers are paid as nigh as one dollar and fifty cents per description for publication of oh delinquent tax lists descriptions varying in size from one to ten lines of fine type. Yet 1t the instigation of a crooked poli- .ician, who has since served term n the penitentiary for dishonesty in office, Arizona abolished publica- ion of delinquent tax lists. Other matters of public import which ought to be published, so the people may know what their ser yants are doing, have been stricken from the laws governing public printing.
 In this connection THE OASIS will state that there appears to exist in Arizona an idea that pub
