of boards and council and every item passes under
the inspection of auditing department. but for
inspection of the citys income from taxation we do
nothing
Every taxpayer gets his property past the tax off,
cals on good terms possible without any notice
from the city If anyone should conduct his private
business such a basis he would be a laug ughiEg
stock Suppose a railroad company should try to
get along by concentrating its watchfulness on the
expenditures and letting its ticket selling and freight
contracts go unmatched, where would it land?
The result with city or county is similar, and we
hear all sides the complaint that property es-
capes taxation" So it does, and other property is
overburdened to the same extent. Can a remedy be
found in guarding the valuation? Certainly. Only
obtained from the courts order for placing large
amount of property tho duplicate That organiza-
ton originated with school teachers who felt the
pressure of lack of funds in the city schools and set
about remedying it. They saw the source OF
the trouble and by their efforts the property Of
fifty large corporations is ordered upon the duplicat
les at largely increased figure. 1t was right. II
something that ought to be done everywhere
but there is to attend to it. And yet we talk
about conducting public business on business prin.
ciples.

WHAT OF THE WEDGE?

Too much procrastination is dangerous, Much
thought is wise and valuable. Action alone tells in
the end.
If the obnoxious Wedge is to be removed the
big of the town must assist the city fathers to
do the job The destruction of from $4,000 TO $780,
600 worth of property is no chlds play. Yet it is
necessary to the progress the growth the beantica-
ton, the expansion of Tucson.
The removal of the Wedge would benefit all the
people, enhance all values in Tucson, just the same
as any other great public improvement would benefit
the whole community. But it is indisputable that
the property owners fronting on the Wedge on both
sides will be the chief benefciares The chief bene-
6ciaries should carry the main portion of the bur
den, but the city at large should bear portion.
Congress avenue when the Wedge is eliminated will
be of the finest thoroughfares in the Southwest
Property fronting it will be than quadruped
in value. The chief gamers should be the chief
payers.
Property in the Wedge now ia valuable and no
man should be made to suffer in order that great
public improvement might be effected. The right of
eminent domain is of the most ealously guarded
of the functions and powers of government. The
people will consent that the right of eminent
domain shall be used in the interest of con6scaton
The owners of Wedge property must be paid prop
er price, but they must not be permitted to extort
1t ought. to be an easy matter to reach just,
equitable and proper adjustment But there is no
necessity of spending year at it. Think well and
wisely, act justly, but do something No amount Of
talk will Danish the Wedge Every adjournment of
the council without taking action puts us further
away from the consummation of something that every
citizen of Tucson deems necessary for the best inter-
ests of the city. What is the matter with the ap-
pointment of commission of eminent citizens by
the Mayor, with the approval of the city council to
take into consideration all the schemes submitted
for the removal of the Wedge, and report practical
BILE to the council for its consideration with

THE PRODUCTION OF OIL.

The development Of oil production is one of the
marvels of the age and If it continues it bids fair to
revoutionze industry. That Arizona is on the oil
pool there is scarcely doubt and that oil will be
flowing in this Territory in the future is the
judgment of the most prudent and experienced oil
prospectors.
The people of Texas believe that the scepter will
pass from the hands of King Coal and that the
fuel of the future will be petroleum. the greater
part of the supply to be drawn from the Southwest
The theory of the Texans is not surprising nor
unreasonable That petroleum is tho ideal fuel of
the time has been demonstrated in Russia, where
nearly 10000 barrels year have been used for max
ing steam. 1t is affirmed that the only obstacle in
the way has been the limited supply. Now there are
sixteen or twenty gushers in Texas which have a
capacity greater than that of any other developed oil
field in the world
The quality of the Texas product is said to be as
good that of the output of the Russian wells Tex
as has the advantage of port almost with
in sight of the wells while the Russian oil must be
transported high range of mountains and
over long distances to reach port We told that
oil can be sold at Port Arthur on the Gulf of Mexico
about seven miles from Beaumont at 35 cents for
each three and half barrels which is equal to ton
of coal as fuel That is to say fuel that costs So 80
or 45o near where 1t is produced, and from $40 to
$l2 in Arizona, be purchased for 35 or 40 cents
1t is not cause for wonder, therefore, that our
speculative neghbors in Texas should foresee the de.
position of the black diamond monarch and CON-
plete revolution in the production of power and as
consequence, in theindustria conditions of the world
Small wonder that land upon which not even der
rick has been hoisted, should sell for $4,000 an acre
because it is supposed to be in the center of the
worlds oil supply. Small wonder also that the Stand
