The Tariff Plank.

Following ia the tariff plank of the
paltfOrm adopted:
We reiterate cur faith in the historic
policy OF protection. Under its infu-
ence our country, foremost in the houn-
ties OF nature has become foremost in
production. 1t has enabled the laborer
to successfully insist Upon good wages
and has lndu ed capital 10 engage in
production with reasonable hope of a
AIR reward. Its vindication is found
in the history OF its success and the
rapidity with which our national re-
sources have been dcveloped and our
industrial Independence has been Sc.
cnred and We heartily renew our
pledge to maintain it.
Tariff rates enacted to carry this
policy into effect should De lust, fair

ton. Reciprocity between nations is

plus
The tariff plank was one prepared by
Senator Allison after conference with
representative Republicans OF he state.
No objection was made to it in the
commit on resolutions or on its pre-
sentation to the convention. Governor
Cnmmins in his speech accepting the
denomination, approved the platform
in its entirety, but announced that he
wonld have to hold to all the views ex-
pressed IN his speeches within the past
two years.
Senators Allison and Dolliver MADE
speeches endorsing the platform as a
correct statement of Republican princi-
pies. Dut Congressman Lacey, Of the
sixth district. and Congresman Cous-
ms, of the Fourth, spoke IN opposition
to tan if changes.
While the action OF the conventic n
was entirely harmonious, both wings
of the party are claiming victory. Gov
ernor Cun.mine and his supporters say
that today's tariff plank contains in
substance all that is found in last
years plank, while the "stand patters"
are congratulating themselves upon the
elimination of the "shelter to trusts"
clause, which attracted so much atten-
ton in the Iowa platforms of 1901 and
1902. There were were but two con-
testc during the day involving the ques-
ton Of relative strength of the two
wings OF the party, and these ended
with honors even.

Establishes Her Claims.

Mrs. McCarty, of Tucson, the widow of John McCarty, who was accidentally killed two years ago has been notified that all of the suits arising over the insurance claims made on her husbands pol icies, and amounting to something more than $3O,OOO, have been all lowed or compromised. The case attracted considerable attention at the time of the accident, which oc- cured in the hill S5 miles from Flagstaff. There was no means of transportation and a Flagstaff underta ker, a personal friend of McCarty, carried the remains out of the mountains in a canvas sack on his back. The insurance com panies claimed that McCarty was not dead and it was chiefly on the evidence of the undertaken that the claims were established.-Journal- Democrat.

Delinquent Taxes.

The law passed by the recent leg islature makes no changes in the revenue laws: except in regard to the collection of delinquent taxes; all other steps in the assessment and collection of taxes are the same up to the time taxes become delinquent, says the Prospector.
 Taxes become delinquent on the second Monday in December, as heretofore. It is made the duty of the tax collector, by the new law, to return delinquent lists of real estate forfeited to the territory for taxes, beginning with the year 1888. From these lists the clerk of the board of supervisors makes a back tax book. Hereafter the back-tax book is to be made up within thirty days after the annual settlement of the tax collector. The back-tax book is then delivered by the clerk of the board of supervisors to the tax collector, and charged to him as the duplicate assessment rolls are delivered and charged. It then becomes the duty of the tax col lector to collect the taxes.
 The method of collection is en tirely changed by the new law. Suits must now be brought to en- force the lien of the territory, in the same manner as suits are brought to enforce other liens. The party owing the taxes is summoned into court, either by personal service or by publication, in the same man ner as in ordinary suits. To the petition must be attached tax bill which is made out by the tax col lector, and this tax bill is prima facia evidence of the correctness of all the proceedings in the assess ment of the property, levying of the taxes, etc. Unless the taxpayer can show to the court that the tax is unlawful, or some other good and sufficient defense, judgment will go against the taxpayer and execution will issue upon the judgment as in ordinary cases.
 The law expressly gives the right of redemption on all delinquent taxes until December 31, 1903, by paying the ordinary tax and cer- tain interest and percentages. The right is also given the taxpayer to redeem at any time before his prop erty is sold by the sheriff, by pay ing all taxes, interest, penalties and court costs. After sheriff's sale, however, the taxpayer is entirely divested of his property, and all equity of redemption

HON. HUGH PRICE
 TELLS HIS STORY
Says His Removal Was a Dirty Scheme By Commissioner
 Richards to Get Office

Hon. Hugh H. Price, ex-Surveyor General of Arizona, arrived in Phoenix last Saturday from Cali fornia where he had been for his health. Speaking to an Enterprise reporter concerning the charges that resulted in his removal from office he said:
 1T have done nothing that WAS not strictly legal. The Act Of June 7th, 1900, Section 10, provides that in eases where the work of the sur- veyor-generaPs office is congested the clerks can perform work out of office hours. When the inspector was here I showed him this clause; but it did not seem to have any effect on him. There was undoubt- edly scheme to remove me, and this is made obvious by the fact that MT. Richards, the commissioner of the general land office, appointed a kinsman as my successor. My official acts are open to the world. There was not dishonest act dur ing my administration, by anyone in the office. We simply tracked the law and followed the preeedents of my predecessors and every sur veyor-general in the west. 1 have the statements of various officers, among which is a statement by man who was employed in the sur veyor-generars office of Arizona thirty-seven years ago, all of which l will take to Washington, showing that the same policy has been fol-, lowed for years. It is simply a dirty game of politics to get an office, and I am going to Washing ton for a vindication. I know that I will get it. MT. Richards cannot do me this way. I do not care for the office. In fact, I am glad I am out of it, and I would not have it again; but my name must be clear ed. This alone will be my purpose in going to Washington. I want to be set right before the people of Arizona"
 MT. Price also stated that when the inspector came to Phoenix he acted in very secret and stealthy manner-a manner that indicated that he had a purpose. Instead of going straight to MT. Price and giv- ing him a chance to defend himself or present his side of the case, he called the clerks out to one side, swore them and paid no attention whatever to Mir. Price or Mir. Mur- phy. From the above it can be seen that Mir. Price yindicates MT. Murphy.

There fore, the territory should feel grate- full for this courtesy on the part of Congressman Hearst in thus favor ing us.

The Postal telegraph company is giving it's lines general repairs be- tween Albuquerque, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are now three gangs of men working, each gang consisting of about twenty men. One gang is working between Albuquerque and Winslow, another between Winslow and Ash Fork, and another between Ash Fork and Needles.
