stage over a very rough mountain road As nearly all the business for the court originates in Gila and Graham coun- ties, holding the court at Florence not only works hardship on witnesses and jurors, but entails unnecessary ex- pense on the United States govern ment for mileage and the transporta- tion of prisoners.
 We have no hesitancy in asserting that the sentiment of the people of Gila county, when the proposition Is laid before them, will be unanimous in favor of the redistricting of the coun- ties so as to combine Gila, Graham Gnd Cochise in one district The proposed arrangement would be to the advan. tage of all three counties, end should not be objectionable to Pima and San ta Cruz and we hope tlat the repre- sentatives in the legislature of all these counties will come to an understanding among themselves that will insure the early and favorable consideration of 8 bill embodying Governor Brodie's rec ommendation.

An Admirable Message.

It is probable that no state paper is sued by any other executive of Arizona has met with such general approval as the message of Gov. A. O. Brodie to the Twenty legislature. 1t is so completely divorced from politics as to disarm other than friendly criticism, and its recommendations reveal an in telligent and careful study of the con. ditions and needs of the territory as we'll as q high sense of duty, at the present time none too common among influential public officials.
 By refusing to accept the S75O yearly allowance provided by an act of the last legislature, to be paid the governor on his own receipt, and for which no vouchers were required to be returned, Governor Brodie has given further eyi- dence of his unyielding integrity. While recognizing that the salary of the governor, as appropriated by the congress, is inadequate to the services rendered, yet he declines to use an ap. propristion the legality of which is questioned. In this connection the governor says:
 ''As l am firm believer in the rule that appropriations should be made for specific purposes, and that proper vouchers should be required and re turned in all cases where public fund: are distributed by public officials. have, since my induction into office, left this appropriation untouched il the public treasury. l firmly believe it to be a bad precedent to establish that any territorial official shall be al lowed the handling of public fund, without appropriation for distinct purpose and the return of the proper vouchers therefor. ."
 Governor Brodie's suggestions or taxation and for increasing the reve nues are especially good, and there if nc doubt, if acted upon, would result materially in improving the finances O the territory. In fact, the governor has made a number of recommenda tions which should be adopted, and th' message as whole is deserving of ear nest consideration by the legislature.

Utilizing Convict Labor.

The suggestion made by the gover- nor in bis message, to utilize the prison labor in the repair of the roads in the several counties, is worthy of the seri- ous consideration of the legislature.
 The SILVER BELT was first to ad- vance this plan to give employment to the convicts and at the same time les sen the cost of maintaining them. In an editorial in our issue of February II, 1901, we made the following sug- gestion
 "A plan that would relieve the con- gestion in the present prison, and rem der the erection of an expensive bull. . ing unnecessary, Is to parcel out the prisoners, or majority of them. among the several counties of the territory, to De worked on the roads. One hall the. money that would be required for building new prison, apportioned among the counties, would be sufficient to increase the jail accommodations to meet the demands of the proposed change. Prisoners could be kept in the county where convicted and the expense of transporting them to the territorial institution saved. The only material expense incurred by the adop ton of the plan would be in the em ployment of extra guards.
 Ut is certain there is nothing more important, and which would so greatly advance the development of Arizona's resources, and the employment of con vets at such work would not conflict with free American labor. The sug gestion is at least worthy of consider ation."

Change the Judicial Districts !

We think there are few persons hay ing a knowledge of the facts, and not biased through self-interest, but who will endorse Governor Brodies sugges- tion for a redistricting of the six coun- ties of southeastern Arizona, now con- stituting the First and Second judicial districts. The governor has given as a reason for the proposed change the fact, as represented, that the greater number of cases coming before the courts are brought in the border coun- ties of Cochise, Pima and Santa Cruz, forming the First judicial district.
 As remedy, the governor suggests a redistricting that will combine the counties of Pima, Santa Cruz and Pi- nal Tn one district, and Cochise, Gra- ham and Gila counties into another, thus dividing between the two districts in an equitable manner the border sec tions, thereby securing the more expe- ditlous administration of justice.
 While the inequality of the burden of judicial proceedings in the two dis. tricts as now constituted is, no doubt, sufficient reason why the proposed change should be made. there is an other consideration that appeals more directly to three-fourths of the resi- dents of this, the Second district, namely: the ineligible location of the federal court at Florence, and the re- fusal of the presiding judge 10 consent to its removal to Globe, near the geo graphical center of the district, or to Solomonville, the county seat of the most populous county.
 Florence is at the extreme western end of the district, and the more inac- cessible by reason of being thirty. five miles from the nearest railroad station, and seventy-fve miles from Globe by

Local dealers in San Francisco pre- dict au upheayal in the market because of the temporary removal of the duty on coal. They assert that the mines of Washington, which state supplies nine. tenths of the domestic coal used in San Francisco, will be unable to compete with British Columbia and Australia. Importers of Washington coal state that the Vancouver mines could furnish coal to Puget Sound and California points much cheaper than the mines of this country. With the duty of 67 cents ton removed, that amount al one on n cargo of coal would realize an importer n vast sum.

Governor Brodie has issued his pro clamation for Arbor Day, which Is published in this issue of the SILVER BELT. As will be noted two days are designated for observance, February 6 by the eight southern counties, and April 3 by the northern tier of five counties. ParadoXical as may seem to one unfamiliar with Arizona, this is rendered necessary by the remark able divergence of climate between the two sections. Arizona has, ID fact, tue most varied climate of any division of the United States, but with one feature common to every portion of the territory, namely its remarkable salubrity.

Our Special Photographic Service.

Recognizing the interest taken by many of the people of Globe and vi- cinity in the doings of the legislature, and that the slow receipt of the news by mail is often further delayed through the failure of trains to con- meet at Bowie, the SILVER BELT has arranged for special telegraphic re- ports of the legislative proceedings every week during the remainder of the session. These reports, the first of which is published in this issue, will be from one of the foremost news papermen and correspondents in Ari- zona, and will give all the important features of the news and gossip from the capitol, at least thirty-six hours earlIer than the Phoenix newspapers. The expense of this special telegraphic service will be considerable, but ge will feel fully repald for the outb.y if reasonably assured sasss.. oGE patrons appr eciate the spirit of enterprise that has prompted us to undertake it.

In discussing the proposition to re. store the law which made the payment of poll tax prerequisite to registra- ton and voting, the Nogales Oasis re- calls the fact that in practice the work ing of the former law was such that the poll taxes were largely paid by the candidates for office, not by the indif- ferent voters. As result, there was not candidate on either ticket who did not clamor for the repeal of the law, which was accomplished without a single negative vote. To remedy the defect in the old law the Oasis suggests that candidates or political committees be prohibited from paying such poll tax, under severe penalty for violation of this provi Ion. "Such an enact- ment," it says, would probably d. minish the totaNregistration and vote, but the loss would nots be felt. The votes of those who have not sufficient snap to pay their own poll taxes would not be very great benefit to the ter ritory."

The need of better sanitary law is emphasized by the prevalence of small. pox and typhoid fever in sections of southern Arizona. The present law is of little value for the reason that it contains no adequate provision for enforcing sanitary regulations in unin- corporated towns, nor for the pay of sanitary officer. It makes the con stable of town or precinct the sanitary officer and imposes upon him duties which, if faithfully performed, in a town of any considerable size, would take up the greater portion of his time, and for which service he is allowed only one days pay in each week, at the rate of four dollars, or sixteen dollars per month. The legislature should amend the law by providing additional safe guards against the spread of contagious diseases, and by increasing the com. pensation of the sanitary officer in towns of one thousand, or more, in- habitants.
