THRowM TO THE WINDS.

Two years ago the Arizona dem- ocracy pledged all sorts of things for the suffering, tax ridden, cor poration yoked people of the terri tory. They included in their platform pledges promises for re- duction of freights and fares, equi- table taxation of mines, fair tax ation of railways, mine inspection legislation, an eight hour law, and 8 number of other needed reforms.
 Out of all those brilliant plat- form pledges only one was crystal lized into law by the legislature elected-an eight hour law; and that was nullifed by the demo- cratic mining corporations at Cliff ton and Morenci.
 This year the Maricopa county democracy thought that the party should be pledged anew to some of the broken promises of two years ago, and in their county conven- ton they voiced a demand that the territorial convention present in its platform a declaration for abolition of the Territorial Board of Equalization, which always as

THE PROBLEM.

As has heretofore been presented in these columns, taxpayers of Santa Cruz county, who have been grooming under continually grow ing burden of taxation, feel that there should be a change in the management of county affairs. During the five and one-half years
The oasis., 1904-10-01

since creation of the county there ha. been a steady increase in ex. pense, and 2 decided expansion in taxation. while at the same time there has been a growth in taxable values. The aggregate of taxable property within the county is con- siderably larger than it was pre- vious to segregation from Pima county The natural increase in revenue should have met the in- creased cost of administration. Yet 1t has not done SO.
 One of the arguments advanced by those who advocated creation of the county was that with the saw ing in cost over going to Tucson for all county business, adminis- tration would be no more costly in the new county, and there would be the advantage in super for convenience. In fact it was al- most pledged by leading men in both parties. The outcome has been a great disappointment.
 But that is neither her nor there" " to quote a common express slon. The problem is to bring ad- ministration of affairs down to a strictly economical basis and com pass reduction of the burdens of taxation. That is 8 problem to which the republican party in Santa Cruz county should devote the most careful attention. There is no hope for retrenchment and reform from the democratic party. The same choice selection of tax eaters who have brought about the deplorable condition will be again nominated for the same positions they have filled to the cost of the taxpayers. To compass the de- sired reforms the county must es- cape their clutches. That can be done only by nomination of the best and most capable men upon the republican ticket. Even in the ranks of the democracy there is a decided revolt against present con- ditions, and many of the best democrats will support the repub- lican ticket if it be rightly con-

stituted and tho candidates stand upon Che right kind of dcclara- tions. To succeed the ticket must consist of men whose characters are guaranties that their ante election pledges will be fulfilled after election, and the platform should specifically enumerate de- tailed methods to be followed. The candidates for supervisors should be men whose business ability and character are beyond question. They should be men of uncompromising integrity and tirmness-men who know what is right, and knowing it fear not to. stand for the right. The platform declarations should pledge them to the most rigid economy, and they should be men who will keep their pledges.
 Furthermore the platform should declare for restoration of salaries of county officials to the amounts that were provided by law when the county was created. To do that requires legislation, and there should be nominated candidate for the legislature who will 20 to Phoenix pledged to work to secure such legislation, and the candidate should be man who has the tirm- ness and fearlessness necessary to carry out such a pledge. No time server, no weakling who knows not his own mind from one day to an other, can do the work. There will be numerous obstacles to over. come in securing such legislation, and many people will be offended at the effort. The man who ac- complishes what Santa Cruz county needs must be one accustomed 10 overcoming obstacles, and who fears not to exercise "the gentle art of making enemies" None other than some such man can accom- plish the desired result; and even that kind of man will have 10 undertake q herculean task.
 This is the opportunity of tho republican party in Santa Cruz county. If 1t can arise equal to the occasion 1t can accomplish great and lasting good. With that greatly desired end in view all re- publicans should bend their ener- gies to securing nomination of men of the most sterling character, and they should all work unremittingly to effect the most perfect harmony within the party, without which election of the very best ticket would be we'll nigh impossible.

figures; and for enactment of reasonable regulation of freights and fares on the railroads of Ari. .zona.
 But the majority of the territor- ial convention seemed to think there was no use in putting forth platform pledges to be immediate ly violated by the men to be nominated throughout the territory by the democratic party; and when the Maricopa delegation presented their resolutions in open convsn- ton they were voted down. The resolutions read as follows:
 Resolved, That we favor the abolishment of the Territorial Board of Equalization.
 Resolved, That we believe that the development of the Territory of Arizona is being greatly re- tarded by exorbitant local and through freight rates, and while recognizing the infinite benefits that will be derived by this Terri tory from an extension of the powers of the interstate commerce law, we pledge the Democratic members of the Legislature to work for and insure the passage of freight and fare law that will rec tify discriminations and decrease local freight rates"
 The committee on resolutions to which they had been presented, ignored the Maricopa resolutions, and they were offered on the floor of the convention as amendments to the platform, but were rejected by a decisive vote of 125 to 70. In offering the amendment, as report ed by the Phpnix Enterprise
 "Mr. Bell dwelt upon the injury to Arizona of the immense freight rates her merchants and importers are compelled to pay, cited many instances of discriminatl6n, and declared that while Arizona wanted the railroads, and wanted all she could get, he wanted the people Co be the masters of the railroads and not their servants
 The response to the sentiments expressed by Mir Bell came from every portion of the house and from almost every delegation. Every word he uttered was Demo cratic doctrine, and if the conyen- ton program had not been so well laid there would have been diff ferent story to tell with regard to the Democratic platform. It would have said all it does on the State hood issue, and all it does on the irrigation question, but it would have said more. There would have been other issues.
 In the early part of MT. Bells argument, he was several times in- terrupted by members of the pro- gram committee who were afraid they might forget their parts, but he was not to be stopped, and in. reference gave way to the respect ful attention demanded by his re- marks and the truths he uttered. Of course when the matter came to a vote, which was on the first one of his amendments, the program committee was we'll prepared to defeat the amendment, and that Is what occurred, by the vote an nouncad
