FEW ARE SATISFIED
 WITH RANGE BILLS
The Great Majority do Not
 Favor it's Enactment
GENTLEMAN AFFECTED

The outlook is not good for c range leasing bill at this time. The eastern people have sn idea that the leasing bill means the end Of the hsmestesd [, which it virtuslly dses, and this does not dove-tail wi.h whst has been taught them from boyhood. that free government land exists in these state. and territories for all who wish to avail tbsmselves of the privilege of filing on and claiming the allotted i60 acres. The truth of the matter fs that bat c very email percentage Of the cattlemen of the west are satisfied with either bill proposed, and with the great majority .; people against it there can be but one result. Perhaps iu the dim future some measure can be devised which Sill te gen eralIy sstisfsctory, and then . bill will go through Congress like water through quill. Meantime. let us of Arizous get together in an organization and in such organized form. correct the many local ills which exisi, and thereby make the bu.iness of rsisiug g cattle on the public range more prof. itable as well as satisfactory without leasing the range. This is one avenue open for improvement and will not be rainbow chasing .-Southwestern Range.

Of the total ts1- able values in the territory the mines ere rated Tor less than one-eig hteentb. Yet, ss pointed out in the Oasis Of . week ago, for one property, the Uni- ted Verde. it is rsputed that an offer of thirty million dollsrs bas been re- .used-fve-sixths of the entire roll of taxable property in Arizons. Today tLs mines are assessed at lees than one and one half millions Of dollsr'. Were they assessed ct their actual valuation the total tsx roll would aggregate one hundred and thirty five millions If dollars, instead of thirty. six millions, as now. With . tsI roll of that magnitude the rate Of taxation would be reduced from the present drastic one of three 10 four per cent in the various counties, to not more than one per cent.
