AS TO EQUALIZATION

The Era is deeply grieved to oh
serve that the GUARDIAN has en-
tirely misconstrued ITS series of
articles on equalization and taxa
tion. The GUARDIAN seems to be
laboring under the opinion that
the Era has been shying a few
stray bricks at Assessor Birdno,
which is clearly misconstruction
of the intent of the articles. The
Era has repeatedly stated that Mr..
Birdno was one of the best asses
sors ia toe territory. The only
fault that can be found with his
work is that in some respects be
has valued property Of the same
class in this county higher than it
was valued in other counties. OF
course Mr.. Birdno IS not RESPONSE
bic for the lack Of perception on
the part of other assessors, but at
the same time it compells property
owners in this county to pay
heavier tax than those who own
property of the same class in ad-
joining counties.
AS an illustration, we will take
the banks. which are assessed at
seventy-fve per cent. of their par
value in Graham county, while in
all other counties but one they are
assessed at fifty per cent. Mr..
Birdno did not over-assess the
banks, but the fact remains that
they will be compelled TO pay a
heavier tax than those of other
counties.
Mr.. Birdno assessed mortgages
in Graham county, and he was
right in doing so, but we are in
formed that this is the only county
in the territory in which mort
cages are assessed, hence the
money lenders of this county are
compelled to stand tax which is
not levied on others in the same
class of business in other counties
in the territory.
Patented mines, as a class, are
assessed in Graham county at
$1,000 each, while in Cochise
county they are returned ut $3.50
per acre. The Era is not com
planning at a levy Of $1,000 for a
full patented claim. That is cheap
enough, but it is certainly unfair
to the miners Of this county to be
compelled to pay taxes on $3.50
moro per claim than the miners of
Cochise county.
The GUARDIAN claims the Era is
inconsistent in its criticisms Of the
territorial board Of equalization in
regard to its appraised valuation
of railroads and then objects to the
proposed Wholesale raising Of the
mining companies. The position
Of the Era on this matter needs no
explanation to those who have
carefully read its editorials for the
past few weeks. The Era objected
to the valuation placed upon tho
railroads by The territorial board
because the main lines were not
appraised at anything like the val
uation which should have been

nection il will be remembered that
the A. & N. NJ. R. r. was assessed
At almost J,c that of the Gila
Valley road and at only $1,000 per
mile less than the Southern Pacific.
Any man who is familiar with the
conditions knows that the A. q
N. M. was assessed out of all pro-
portion to the value of the other
roads. The board had hardly ad-
iourned from making this unequal, ,
unfair and unjust discrimination in
its appraisment before the news
papers Of the territory, in appar-
emily Inspired articles, announced
that the board in meeting to be
held in August, would double the
property values of the territory by
raising the returns of the mining
companies and cattlemen. This,
coming as it did in the face of the
refusal of the board TO do its plain
duty iu regard to the assessment
of the railroads, caused the Era TO
devote considerable space TO the
matter. The Era is printed in q
mining community and is devoted
to the interest of mining, and is
therefore interested IN seeing that
the miners get fair show. To
To double the assessments of the
mining companies and the cattle
men, slter having let off the princi'
pal railroads at an unreasonable
low figure, would certainly be un-
fair, and would be a blow to two
Of the principal industries of the
territory.
The Era would be pleased to
see the taxable wealth of the terri
tory doubled, but the raise should
fall on all interests equally. 1t is
certainly not fair, nor honest, to
single out two industries and com
pei them to "stand and deliver" for
the only reason that they are hav-
ing a few prosperous years.
The GUARDIAN says that the
"mining companies are assessed
just about on 8 par with the rail
roads," This statement is no
doubt correct, and is the principal
reason why the Era is opposed to
doubling the taxable wealth of the
territory at the expense of the
mining companies and the cattle
men.
The GUARDIAN closes its editori-
al by the following statement;
"If the papers of the mining
camps want to be fair let them ad-
vocate the assessing of all proper
ty justly, no matter whether it be
mining property, railroads, cattle,
land or merchandise. When this
is done there can be no complaint"
The foregoing is in harmony
with the ideas which the Era has
been attempting to convey to the
public for some weeks past, 1t is
manifestly unfair to let one class
of investors off with one-half of
what they should rightly pay and
then sock it to the mining COM
panies, because they have no pull
with the board of equalization.
Neither is it fair to assess the
mines, the banks and the money
loaners of this county at higher
valuation than is placed on the
same class In other counties.
II all the assessors of the terri
tory we're as anxious as Mr.. Birdno
to make a good showing there
would be no need of territorial
board, but as they are not, the
matter Of assessments should be
regulated, and in such manner
that no one interest is assessed
out of proportion to some other
industry.

CHILD LABOR JERSEYS CURSE

The latest publication of the Nation
al Consumers League is from the Sec
rotary, Mrs. Kelley, who writes Of
of the needless destruction
of boys in the glass factories of New
Jersey. The laws of that state pro-
hibit tne employment of boys under
fourteen in manufacture, but allow
night as we'll as day work after that
age. The child-labor laws are enforced
there also better than in many states,
but they are in this respect of night
work clearly insufficient. Boys in glass
factories labor side by side with men,
and even On men the strain is destruc-
tive No blower sends nis son to the
glass factory to work, but orphan sons
Of blowers are among the carriers,
moulders and gathers. No welI-situated
workman sends his son into the glass
bottle trade, but the sons of recently
immigrated laborers with large fam
lilies and small wages are thus sacri-
feed, and boys are imported from New
York orphan asylums to work in the
boiling heat at night and roam the
streets in gangs by day. Ohio, at
least according to law, protects boys
from night until they are sixteen, and
both Ohio and Illinois are far ahead
Of New Jersey in replacing boys in
glass factories by machinery. New
York, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan have
laws forbidding all work by cnildreR
after a certain evening hour, and no
Estate is excusable for leaving its chill
dren without such protection.-Col-

tire foreign trade is this wheat export.
1t is almost entirely railroad crea-
ton, in the sense that the larger part
of it would not exist were it not for the
extremely favorable rates with which
the railroads have fostered it.
Wheat is a peculiar crop in that it
demands frontier lands and "exten-
sive" cultivation to be profitably
raised. AS the industrial wealth OF
thiscountry has grown and the frontier
has been pushed farther and farther
west, the acreage under wheat has
gone with it, veering little to- the
north meanwhile. The former wheat
fields of the middle west now grow
other grains in rotation. This shrink
ing modesty of the great staple before
the advance of conventional civiliZa,
ton has made necessary longer and
longer hauls to the seapOrts on the
part of the wheat carrying railroads.
In order, therefore, to allow American
wheat to compete in European mar
kets with the wheat from Russia, Ar
gentina and Roumania the railroads
have had to disregard distance utterly
in their export charges. They have
made charges on export wheat lower
than those on wheat designed for do
nestle consumption. 1t is only by do

this same fact have convinced Euro
pean manufacturers that it was due
chiefly to the low freight rates on
goods intended for export. 1t was
proved for example, that the American
average of $.0076 per ton was the low
est rate in the world. New proof OF
the correctness of this conclusion is to
be found in the fact that, whereas dur
ing the past year, chemicals, cotton
goods, feathers, fibre manufactures,
glass and glassware metal and wool
manufactures showed decreased impor-
tation, at the same time cotton exports
increased $25,000,000, cotton manufac-
lures $4,000, O0O,ra cotton $4,000, 900,
iron and steel manufactures $23, 000,-
600, and other staple commodities in
proportion.
An object lesson in the extent OF
American commerce may be taken at
any time on the railway docks OF a
seaport city. In the shadow Of tower
ing elevators, each capable OF holding
millions of bushels of grain, are piers,
hundreds of feet in length, piled high
with barrels and boxes, cases and
casks. Between the piers lie the great
steamships, some Of them capable or
holding 10000 tons of cargo. The larg-
est freight car carries about fifty tons

coLoREp BUTTERFLIES.

DR.. Otto Seifert, of New York, is
producing some remarkable results
by exposing butterflies to heat AMI
cold In this way he has artificially
produced artic and tropical forms OF
those insects; and, yet more surprls-
ing, he has evolved in the same fashion
ancient forms, which may have lived
tens of thousands of years ago, and
butterflies of the future, so to say,
which may exist thousands Of years
hence. Though it sounds like fairy
tale, it is all quite true.
Of course, says a writer in the Satur-
day Evening Post, it is in the chrysalls
state that the insects are subjected to
treatment. They are put into the ice
box or into the hot box for from thirty
to a hundred hours, and then, being
taken cut, are permitted to undergo
their final transformation whereupon,
of course, they appear as full-fedged
butterflies. By comparing them with
ordinary butterflies Of the same species
it is easy to see what the effect OF the
cold or the heat has been. Invariably,
as DR.. Seifert has found, their colors
are maize much more subdued by the
cold and much more vivid and brilliant
by the heat.
By exposing local New York butter
flies to the treatment DR.. Seifert has
produced varieties such as would be
appropriate to Manitoba or Mexico, as
indicated by their subdued or by their
brilliant coloring varieties, that is to
say, which have no actual existence in
nature.

thereby adding to the prosperity of an
other home industry.
The total yield of wheat In the
United States averages between six
and seven hundred million bushels.
Of this, between two and three nun.
dred million are exported. The wheat
of the southwest goes abroad by way
of New Orleans and Galveston. That
from the central west finds it's way
to the sea by the Kansas City-Chicago
route, or eastward from ST. Louis to
Baltimore and Newport News. The
vast yield of the northwest goes to
Duluth and thence by boat through

to New York or Boston.

ing SO that they have made the traffic
profitable and caused a rapid develop
ment of the country's frontier. This
boon they have been able to grant
largely because of the healthy Ameri-
can policy of government non-interfer-
ence.
Through their milling-in-transit rates
the railroads have also changed the
character of the wheat export from
millions of bushels OF the wheat itself
exclusively, to preponderance OF bar
rels of flour. The milling-in-transit
rate is through charge from the local
elevator to the export market, nothing
being added for a stop over at some
intermediate point while the wheat is
being made over into -four By re1uc-
ing the price of marketing flour, the
