system of taxation than has been
 accomplished by those legislatures
 heretofore elected To THE OASIS
 the position of those holding such
 views is untenable. When the
 people realize what they need and
 want they are very apt to get it.. They now realize that they want and need a legislature which will adopt an equitable system of tax ation. And in discussing the proposition they can and will sift out and send to the legislature from each county representative men who can and will devote their attention to solution of the problems not so seriously pressing.
 None but the best men should be selected for the legislature Busi- ness men and property holders who have interests at stake. Men of independence of thought and action Men who fear not the threats of the powerful, and are proof against the blandishments of the corrupt. Those are the men to send to the legislature Every county has them and every county should pick them out and send them Then the taxable values of Arizona will go upon the tax roll. And instead of thirty six millions of dollars worth of property having to bear all the burdens of government, two hun dred millions will be assessed, and the rate of taxation will be re- duced to two per cent.

by imitation to the country dis tricts, where the causes therefore do not exist.
 In Arizona there has been made very liberal provision for public education. The causes for lack of thoroughness in instruction which exist in the big cities do not fol- low in this territory. For which reason there should be impressed
The oasis., 1902-05-10

upon the minds of all educators and school committees the neces- sity and advisability of thorough ness in imparting instruction. Pupils should not be rushed through their studies, and they should not be advanced in grade until they have completely mast cred the studies of the grade which they are leaving.
The oasis., 1902-05-10
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS.

From all parts of the country there comes numerous complaints of the insutficiency of the Ameri- can public school system The general criticism is that while the course of instruction is all that could be desired, the instructors are not sufficiently thorough, and that the pupils are crowded through the various grades with out being thoroughly grounded, few of them retaining that mastery of principles necessary for com plete success in later life. That, in other words they cannot apply to ordinary transactions the simplest principles which they are sup posed to have mastered In the great cities this seems to be partic-
 ularly true, and the fact seems due to the pressure of school popula- ton upon the facilities available. In every large city the population between the ages of six and sixteen is far in excess of the number which the school buildings pro- vided can accommodate, and the surplus seems to be increasing faster than do the facilities pro- vided by the governing powers. From this reason there is con tinual tendency to crowd the pupils along to make room for those demanding admission. Clas- ses are larger than can be given by the teacher that attention to individual members so necessary to complete mastery of their studies by all, and that constant drill and review so necessary for thoroughness are unavoidably omitted. What has become in- evitable in the big cities has spread

REMEDY DEM AN0ED.

Never before in the historv o
 Arizona have the people paid SC much attention to problems of taxation as now During many years have they seen growing upon all sides material evidences of growth and prosperity, accumulation of wealth and expan- sion of resources. Yet the total of taxable values in the territory have increased but little, and the burdens of the people have been continually increasing For a long time the causes of this incongrous condition have been plainly ap- parent to many, but until now the people have never so seriously realized them. Great mining cor porations with properties worth millions, have been coining into untold wealth the latent natural resources of the territory, distrib- uting tin dividends among non- resident stockholders, and paying little or nothing for the protection they demand and receive from the territorial and county govern ments. Railroad corporations have levied upon the people of Arizona exorbitant tolls for trans portation of people and products, and have paid in taxes upon but one-sixth of the valuation capital has placed upon their properties by buying their mortgage bonds at par. Numerous corporations have received their life from the liberal enactments of the territory, and have contributed nothing to the support of the government In other cOmmonwealths, which can be named such corporations would pay the entire cost of the state or territorial government. In some of these injustices to the people of Ari- zona courts and legislatures seem to l have conspired to continue their perpetration. All these matters are being studied by the people of Arizona, and there is arising de- | mand for the application of rem edies.
 Yet there are timid citizens who, while deploring the condition, declare there can be no remedy. | They say the people can not or will not elect a legislature that will adopt legislation which will remedy these evils. That any legislature which can be elected will { be so thoroughly subjected to cor porate influences that it will ac- complish no more in direct adoption of just and equitable

United States government has beer
quietly at work for the past two years
IN perfecting a system of its own which
1t believes has overcome all the Obsta

The system is now essentially com

understood that he takes the same

tractor John NJ i!AIcc anl fore" "t
men today began the work Of cree
inc fence surrounding the emergency
hospital 50 that Tie nineteen pat
tents can be removed there. 1t had
been decided to secure a large tent
and to erect five frame buildings TO
accommodate the sufferers fGster-
day however the plans were chAhgci.
The lumber hauled to the grounds
with which to erect the temporary
bindings will be used to erect the
fence
Among those suffering with the
disease is Samuel McMulln Of this
city who is assistant superintendent
and the doctors nave but little hope
OF his recovery.
Hc always had a dread of smallpox
and when the disease broke out his
friends felt worried and their fears
realized.
in addition to QuartcriDg the pat
tents in the Emergency Hospital, Su-
perintcndcnt Jlanckcr has also made
arrangements to get all the suspected
patients out of the hospital for the
insane. A large tent has been pur-
chased and it will be erected on the
hospital grounds, some distance from
the building. 1t would have been
erected on Saturday, but for The
high wind. As soon as any inmate
shows the slightest symptoms of
SNAIL pox they will he placed in the
tent and kept there until the disease
dcvcIopcs or the symptoms disappear.
As soon as a case devclopes it will be
taken to the Emergency hospital. Su-

that as soon as these plans are gotten
into a working order it will be only
the matter Of q few weeks until the
