INSTITUTION NOT NEEDED.

Roemer, of Cochise, introduced z bill iD the house to establish a terri torial reform school for juvenile of lenders. The territory has already spent about S5O,OOO or S60,OOO for a reform school and then found that it had no use for it and turned it over to Flagstaff for a high school build ing under the gUise of normal school. Governor Murphy's suggestion in re- gard to the incorrigible youth of the territory is practical and sensible one. That is to arrange with the state of California to have them taken care of at the Whittier school Southern California. With the limited number of this class in this territory they could be provided for there at about one tenth the cost of maintain ing a reform school and without the expense of such building being i'm posed on the tax payers of the terri tory. This bill should be promptly killed.

A SUGGESTION TO THE LsGISLTURE

A subject of appropriate legislation which is respe ctfully submitted to the legislature for its consideration, and which should receive its imme- diate and favorable attention, is pro- viding for the execution of convicted murderers similar to the California law. That is, as soon as a man is sentenced to death he should be taken to the penitentiary and be confined there until the sentence is put into execu- tion, which could be done in the peni- tentiary ground. Instead of each county being compelled to go to the expense of erecting a scaffold every time an execution occurred, one in strument of death would suffice for the entire territory. As soon as sen tence is pronounced, a death watch has to be placed over the convicted man which is considerable expense to the county. This could be performed at the penitentiary without any addi- tional expense to the territory.
 In the case of a communication of sentence to life imprisonment after wards, the prisoner would be at the the place of confinement and in case there was no change in the sentence the execution could be carried out at the penitentiary.
 California has had a law of this kind on her statute books and it has proven very satisfactory. Such a law would prove beneficial to this terri tory.

SoLcITIoUS FOR PRESCOTT PAPERS

The editor of the Jerome Reporter seems over solicitous about the Pres colt editors lest they get themselves in trouble about making charges of perjury. The last issue contained another note of warning in the follow ing language:
 "The editors of the Prescott papers should make haste slowly in their bribery charges. From sad, sad ex- perience we have found it easier to print such things than to prove them. Listen, brothers, we all know there is a severe penalty attached to bribing a legislator, and that one caught would win home at Yuma. If brib- cry has been committed to the knowl- edge of any Prescott editor he would serve the cause of county unity better by preferring charges, and having the guilty party arrested and convicted. If without such knowledge, then no charge of bribery should be made. By the way, where did all of tn talk about using money originate7 Is it not true Prescott started into this fight with promise of S20,0OO to de- feat county division7"
 Really the Reporters solicitude is remarkable, and on the face of it, does not seem wholly disinterested. It looks as if some one had designs on the weakness of legislators, if any were found who are susceptible to bribery but does not want anything said about it. If the Reporter will look over the Prescott papers" care

THE DUKE RELIEF BILL.

The board of supervisors at their session yesterday passed thirteen whereases and one resolution in op- position to the Duke relief bill. One Of the whereases calls attention to the 18th legislative assembly in refusing to pass similar and of Governor l.. C. Hughes refusal to approve a simi- lar measure. The 18th legislative as- sembly passed just and equitable bill for Mir Dukes relief and one which should have met the approval of the chief executive. It simply con ferred the authority On the board of supervisors to reimburse Mir. Duke, what was justly his due after full investigation by the board. It was not compulsory on the part of the board to pay him anything but con ferred authority for them to pay him such an amount as they found in jus tice and equity he should have. The provisions of the present relief bill are very dissimilar to this if reported correctly by the Phenix papers tho copy of the bill having been seen by the writer) in this that it attempts to appropriate certain sum of money from the treasury of Yavapai county. The writer is not well up in Black stone, but it occurs to him that as a matter of plain common sense that the legislature cannot pass a valid bill appropriating money belonging to any county, hence if the premises are correct such bill would be null and void.
 In justice and equity MT. Duke is entitled to relief. The county sold him lot of cattle, for delinquent taxes which they could not deliver, and received his money for them. Justice and equity would demand that the money he is out in the transaction should be returned to him with req sonable interest. We doubt if there is single fair minded taxpayer in the county who would object to this ''the doctrine of Caveat Exemptor" to the contrary not withstanding.
 The Journal-Miner, whose editor was member of the eighteenth leg islative assembly, and who amended the original bill to the form in which it was passed, did not favor any ex- orbitant appropriation nor does it now, but believes in reimbursing him on on the basis above stated. The re-en- actment of that bill passed by the legislative assembly would be an act of justice to him and would not be unjust to the county.

HANCE ON CLARK COUNTY.
He Meets Some of the Wild Assertions
 Made by Its Advocates.

Camp Verde, Feb. 4.-Editor Jour
 nal Miner: I see the Jerome Reporter
 is after me for opposing the new coun-
 ty, and says everybody from Aultman
 up is in favor of the new county. In
 an east and west line above Aultman
 there is but one man living on Middle
 Verde for six miles, and that Upper Verde or Cottonwood is with them to
 a man. I say such is not the case.
 Now, the postoffice known as Ault-
 man is at the north end or upper part
 of the Middle Verde, and I say and
 am prepared to show it by the tax roll
 that 75 per cent. of the assessable
 property on Middle Verde is and does appear on the petitions against the
 division of the county. Our forefa-
 thers fought taxation without repre-
 sentation. That is one of my princi-
 pal objections to county division. The
 town or city of Jerome is in the ex- treme north end of the county. Every move of an officer south, where 98 people out of each 100 lives for dis tance of about 100 miles, means mile
 age 30 cents a mile. Four thousand people gc into the hands and under the dictates of one man and his em- ployes; a man whose money and not his statesmanship or ability got him into the United States senate; a man who pays taxes on less than one-siXth
 Less than one fifteenth would still leave a margin in his favor Editor.
 of the income of his property in the county, that he proposes to control, and that taxation is paid as far as possible under protest. I am not fighting or arguing against Mir. Clark. l never met him but once, then he treated me nicely. 1 was a census enumerator in 1890, and he did all he could to make me easy work among his employees. But as a citizen and taxpayer here, I think 1 have not been a drone. My taxes will foot up on an average Sl00 per annum for over thirty years. My family was born and raised here, two of them now of age. We all own $40 acres of land anu dA lAbCICob III bNO iAle5dllllS ditches. We are here to stay, and as a citizen and taxpayer I speak, and 1 speak the sentiment of 90 per cent. , of the people of the Verde valley south of the mouth of Oak creek, and fully 95 per cent. of the assessable property on Middle Verde, Lower Verde and ] Beaver creek and Clear creek, and | every person and every dollar of the . assessable property west and south of the mouth of Oak creek including the | Cherry creek settlement. No man knows the country whereof write or the sentiment of the people better than I do. I do not know who Gov ernor Murphy had as statistician here in 1899, but whoever he was he did . not give the facts, either through ig- norance or prejudice. He gave the . entire ditch length as forty miles. We have fifty-six ditches and canals and . water to fill them every day in the year, and a total length of over 300 miles. 1 am proud of the city of Je- rolIe and the entire mineral wealth of the hills surrounding this valley, but a new county and increased taxation
