OVER in Graham county the de- mocratic party pointed with pride" to a reduction in taxation of one-half of one per cent. After election a mistake of $500, 900 was discovered in the footing of the tax roll, upon which the reduction was based, and as consequence there is a deficit of $27, ,000 which will have to be supplied next year by addition of one per cent to the tax rate. Of course the error was ui-- intentional.

ALLEN T. BIRD, Managing Editor.
 EVANS. Business Manager.
ExpERT THE BOOKS.

Voicing a public demand the re- publican platform, adopted at the county convention in October, called for an expert examination of the affairs of Santa Cruz county. And that declaration was one of the causes that led up to the sharp rebuke given at the polls to the present democratic administra- tion of Santa Cruz county.
 It is nearly four years since there has been an expert examina- ton Of the books and business of Santa Cruz county. The grand jury which sat in January 1900 employed very competent ex- pert, Mir. K. D. George who made a thorough examination, and with in a few days he found sufficient in one office to compel restitution of some $500 from the delinquent official-after a trial in court, of course; and caused another official to seek safety in flight. Yet at that time the county had been running less than two years.
 Since then the county has lun four years without check upon the business of any county official. In private or corporate business with financial magnitude so great such a state of affairs would have never been permitted. There would have been a thorough, rig orons expert examination of all the business of the county at least, No where else would a slackness so complete and indifferent to the best interests of the taxpayers have been permitted to continue as has been this to which the republican platform has finally called atten- ton.
 The grand jury is the proper medium through which should be initiated and conducted the neces- sary work of exporting the books and business of the county. But the grand jury has not been given time at any of its sessions to do that. To properly go through all the books anl the vouchers with other documentary evidence per taining to the county's business and check up all transactions might require two or three weeks time. To do all the work and then prepare a lucid, comprehen- sive statement of the exact condi- ton of affairs might keep an ex- pert busy an entire month. Yet it would be safe to make the asser-

nance. there will bo a strong effort toward location oi responsibility and a visitation of public dis pleasure upon the party or parties who may be found responsible.
 The last grand jury had several members who desired 10 go into these matters and make thor ough investigation of the county business. They did lift up the lid little; but there was no time for a complete and thorough investi- gation. The court was ready to adjourn, and from some quarter (THE OASIS is credibIv informed) there was pressure put upon the grand jury to close it's deliberations and present a final report. That was what was done, with members of the body ready and willing to conduct farther investigation. The grand jury is the grand inquest of the people. It is through that body that taxpayers learn whether their money is econo nically and carefully expended, and the people know whether their servants have carefully and faithfully discharged their trusts. Consequently a grand jury should be given ample time to perform it's full duty. And it's full datty consists of much more than finding indictments for offen- ces. It should find whether there have been offences among the chosen servants of the people.
 It Is not necessary to hold court in continuous session to accomplish these much needed methods. The court can complete trial of the call endars and go into recess, leaving the grand jury in session to pursue it's investigations. Even the grand jury can take a recess, leaving it's pvnerfa at work And whan the experts have completed their labors the recesses of court and grand jury can be terminated and the final and complete report can be filed-and in that report the peo- pie can read all they wish to know, and 10 know which they have a right.

or ever protracted ils session to two weeks, becauye the court does not hold its term any longer. Usually a session of the court does not exceed ten days. At the day appointed by law the court con- venes, the grand jury summoned is impanelled, retires to pursue it's deliberations, the calendar is called and cases set for trial. By the time these details are all attended in- dictments begin coming in--if not the time is devoted to expedite the civil calendar. Usually the civil calendar is conducted along with the criminal calendars in such way that by the time the indict- meIits reported are all tried both calendars are cleaned up and the court is ready for adjournment. Through committees the grand jury has made a perfunctory ex- animation of the various offices, the committee reports setting forth that the books are nicely kept and are without blots or disagreement of any kind, while the various off, cials are good fellows, are made to grand jury, which are incorporated as sections in the report of that body, and are all filed with clerk of the court, the grand jury is dis missed, the court is adjourned, and the officials in the court house are given another six months with 8 free hand in their various offices and at the saloon bar and roulette wheel.
 It is the common talk that one of the fiduciary officials of the county about going out of office has during his term of office dis bursed in one saloon in Nogales more than his entire salary. The proprietor of that saloon ia repub- lican) is quoted as having given that as reason why he should give his support to that official seeking reelection rather than sup port the candidate of his own party. And there are other saloons in Nogales of which this same off cial has been liberal patron that have not yet reported. Now it may be all right, the money this official has so freely disbursed across bars and at roulette wheels and faro games may have been all his own, and the county funds may have been in no way mixed up with his own and gone the way with the rest; but it is the right of the taxpayers to knoao whether such is the case, and the only way they can know is through an ex- pert report conducted under direc- ton of a grand jury. Were the same man in the service of the Southern Pacific Company there would have been an auditor inves- tigating his office several years ago. In fact his office would have been thoroughly exported at least

GOVERNOR BAILEY RETURNS.
In Topeka Again From His Trip to
BaiIeyville.

Governor Bailey returned at noon
today from Baileyville, where he went
early Friday morning. He read the
State Journals evidence of State
Treasurer Kelly's embezzlement, but
said he did not wish to act until ne
has a talk with Attorney General Cole
man.
Governor Bailey has been trying for
several days to get together with Mr..
Coleman to discuss State Accountant
Rowett's report. The two had an APP
pointment to go over it on Thursday,
but Mr. Coleman failed to reach To-
peka because of a late train. Yester-
day the governor had an appoint
ment which called him to Baileyville,
and today Mr.. Coleman is away from
ment for Monday morning. Until that
time Governor Bailey will give out
nothing about the state accountants
report or his findings. He will also
probably take up Mr.. Kelly's case with
the attorney general on Monday.

genial company now and then. This
is one he brought home with him after
his last trip abroad:

Sandy" said Mr. Carnegie; there
couldn't be a Scotch story without
Sandy. Well, Sandy was asked by
some friends to step up to the bar and
have a drink. He poured out for HIM
self liberal dose of the national bey-
erage, and then, placing his hands
around the glass, drained 1t to the last
drop before the others had even a
chance to pour out their drinks.

RACE DECISION PROTESTED.
Second Man Claims Victory in Auto
Race.

New York, October Sheath the
winner, covered the three hundred
miles in five hours 26 minutes As sec
onds; Clement, the second man, in five
hours 2S minutes and Is seconds. Gle
ment entered a protest against Heath
being declared the winner on the
ground that his time had not been ia
ken according to the agreements which
were to govern the race. After the
protest had been received the decision
declaring Heath the winner was with
drawn.
A final decision will be reached later
in the day after the protest has been
formally presented to the automobile
association of America at a special
meeting which was called for that pur-
pose. Clement claims that he was
held up in Hampstead over a minute
and a half while making repairs to his
gasoline tank. This time, he claims
under the rules governing the contest
should have been deducted from his
actual time. Clement also said there
were several other matters which he
intended to bring before the associa-
ton at the meeting which has been
called to receive his formal protests.
