Mark Smith made a positive prom
Use to the people of Arizona last fall
that if they would elect Col. Wilson
as delegate he would secure statehood
for them. In order to carry the terri
tory democratic he got a prominent
republican senator to write letter to
the same effect Col. Wilson was
elected by a small majority, and the
session of congress closed with state
hood just as far off as it has been for
the past ten years. Hon. Marcus is in
Tucson now telling the people down
there just how it happened. In the
matter of politics Mark Smith is about
as cunning and slick as they make.
Sixteen years ago he promised state
hood to Arizona if the people would
only elect him to congress. They ell
ected him and kept electing him and
still there is no statehood.

NEW COURT RULES
Will Govern Justices
of the Peace.
Business Must Be Transacted
According to System or No
Bills VIII Be Paid.

AZ the recent session Of the board
of supervisors the following iron clad
rules we're adopted concerning the
presentation of claims of justices of
the peace and constables:
Each justice of the peace of the
county must file with their quarterly
claims full statement of all fines
collected by them during such quar-
ter. No claim will be allowed any
justice of the peace until such state
ment is filed, or a statement that no
fines have been collected.
Whenever statement of fines col
lected is filed, it must show:
1. The amount of each fine, and
from whom collected.
2. The amount of costs paid out of
each fine.
8. The balance, if any, remitted
from each fine to the treasury
4. Disposition of each case docket
ed.
And such statement must be accom-
panied by itemized and receipted
cost bills as vouchers, together with
the receipts of the county treasurer
for such fines as may have been remit
ted to him.
The claims of constables or other
peace officers for services rendered in
connection with justice courts will
not be paid until the statement of the
justice of the peace for the precinct in
which said services we're rendered has
been fled in accordance with the
above regulation.
No claim of justice of the peace
or constable or other peace officer for
services rendered in connection with
a trial or preliminary examination
will be allowed unless the justice of
the peace having jurisdiction of the
case shall, before the trial or prelim-
mary examination, have notified the
district attorney and received his in
structions with reference to the case.
This provision shall not apply to pre-
cincts so remote from communication
with the county seat that the delay
involved in transmitting the notifica-
ton would work undue hardship, ex-
pense and delay.
Justices of the peace will be held
liable for any costs illegally paid or
allowed out of fines collected by them.

A fact not generally known is that
the Goddard murderers were indicted
by the recent grand jury under the
names of John Doe and Richard
Roe Now that they have been APP
pretended and identified, if there is
any way in the world to give them a
speedy trial it should be done, and if
convicted, the sooner the sentence of
the court, whatever that may be, is
put into execution the better it will
be. The crime was most dastardly
one, and nothing short of hanging
will be adequate punishment for the
murderers. If the two men now in
custody should prove to be parties
who committed the crime, and are
convicted of it, they should be legally
hanged as speedily as possible.

The Prescott public schools now ex-
pend annually for teachers salaries,
interest on bonds, and all other ex-
penses about $4,000. A good four
years high school could be maintained
IN the building now owned by the
district which was formerly the terri
torial capitol building for from $1,000
to $1,000 additional. For the first year
of its establishment but one addition
al teacher would be required; but
thereafter two additional teachers
would be necessary. The less cost in
salary the first year however would be
fully Offset in equipping necessary
laboratories and otherwise improving
the building. How would all of this
affect taxes? The total tax rate last
year in Prescott was "a "A for each

other five siXths for other than school
purposes. In many of the eastern
states school taxes constitute from
one third to one half of the total tax
The low school rate in Arizona is
due to the fact that gambling Ii
censes and many fines become a part
of the school fund. The assessed val
uation of property in the Prescott
school district is 81, 434, Isl. To main

rate would be increased from 10 cents
to 20 cents on each 500 assessed val

mills on the dollar. The proportion
of school tax would increase from one
sixth to one fifth of the total
amount of tax paid, but even then the
proportion of school tax would be
much less than the average eastern
community pays. This increase would
apply only to property within the
limits of Prescott school district Are
the citizens of Prescott willing to
bear this increase in taxes for the
benefit of the town and its children?

DESTROYS of having petition circu-
lated so that this high school PROPOSE
tion may be voted on by the tax pay
ers of Prescott. Such petition re-
quires legally the signatures of at least
100 such persons as are qualified to
vote at the annual school election. 1t
must then be presented to the county
suerintendent of schools who must
within twenty days call an election
for the purpose of voting on the es-
Establishment of such high school. No
tees for this election must be posted
at least ten days prior to the election;
and only tax payers are entitled to
vote thereat. The Journal-Miner
hopes that an opportunity may be
given for vote on this question.
