ARGUES AGAINST RATE BILL.
Counsel for Santa Fe Road Before
Senate Committee.

aC0unsei Tor santa &c Road Before
Senate Committee.
Washington, April 4 Victor Marc
WITT of New York opened the hearing
before the senate committee on inter-
state commerce during the day. He
lis chairman of the executive commit
tee and general counsel of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Re railroad.
He made a statement regarding the.
mileage, stock, bonds and employees Of
the railroad. He said it was a fair
estimate that 450, 900 persons would
be interested in any legislation af-
sfecting the road.
Speaking of the railways in general
he said they had some difficulty in
keeping up their betterments and i'm.
provements. If it was attempted to
adjust railway rates in times of pros
=perity and large business on basis
of earnings what would happen, he
asked, in bad times? There were
three evils complained of, he said,
upon which the demand was made
for legislation to fix rates; first, that
railroad rates were excessive; second,
that there were determinations
against shippers; third, that there
were determinations against locali-
ties. He insisted that. railroad rates
were not excessive. Under the COM
mon law the carriers were prohibited
from making unreasonable rates and
also were prohibited from making
unjust determinations. Congress had
no constitutional right to fix rate
which would not give the shipper
reasonable return or would be confis-
catory of the property of the railroad.

In discussing the coroner's in.

Region says:
AT the coroner's inquest yes.
terday, twenty six witnesses
we're examined. The county at.

to volunteer any information with

dence did not in the slightest
tend to show any conspiracy on

the awful deed not even develop
anything that would even cast
any suspicion on anyone though
the examination was rigid and
exhausting. It's possible that
some unknown aggrieved person
took advantage of the situation
to shield his cowardly act.

NEW FAD in TOWN.
Many Men Getting a Sensible
Habit.

In the last few days it has be.
come the popular thing to step in
3. A. Barker's drug store and
get a pocketful of Wadsworth
Bros. "Chicos, a SC cigar that
has caused many men to get
what may be called the ''Chicos"
habit.
It is far more sensible to
smoke a good SC cigar like the
"Chico" land there is no other SC
cigar like iD than to pay double
theprice and get no better smoke.
It is made with a clear, long Ha-
vana filler, and is especially pleas
ing to the man who has been
smoking a 1Oc Or two for a quart
er cigar. It burns freely, and
tastes good clear to the stub.
Try a "Chico," and see if you,
too, do not get into the habit of
frequenting b. A. Barker's drug
store for your supply of cigars.

manner in which the affairs of the offices of the district attorney, re- corder, treasurer, probate judge, school superintendent, assessor, sheriff and board of supervisors are conducted.
 What is the reason MT. Ashurst refuses to allow the report to be published? Ask yourself. No doubt his feet are as deep in the mire as the others are in the mud and it would be "dishonorable" to expose the report regarding the other off, cials and eliminate that portion with regard to himself.
 The question now arises as to the wisdom of the late legislature in passing the "public examiner" law if his report is to be held up at the discretion of certain public servants so that the public in general can not secure the facts it was intended they should know through the pass age Of the law.
 Now, MT. Ashurst, it is not the purpose of the NEWS to criticise un- justly; so be good enough to send us the report, and if we have erred we are ready to apologize.

COCONINO SETTLES
Disputed Taxes on Transint Sheep Finally Divided Satisfactorily

Through the agitation started last April, which was designed to secure for Yavapai county it's just proportion of taxes paid on tran sient herds of sheep, the sum of $1,757. .O4 was paid into the county treasury of Yavapal county by Co., conino county, says the Prescott Journal Miner.
 This represents the amount of such tax due the county of Yava- pal from the county of Coconino for the years 1901, 1902 and 1903, as compiled from the affidavits of the owners of the transient herds which are on file in the offices of the treasurers of both counties.
 While part of this amount should have been paid into the treasury of this county by Coconino county during the years 1902, 1903 and 1904, still no move was made in that direction until a few months since Some time last April the wool sheared from the transient herds of sheep at Cordes was seized for taxes by the assessors office of this county, which action on the part of that officer was met by refusal to pay the tax by the sheep owners. To prevent the sale of the wool for taxes the sheep owners gave good and sufficient bond and later dis posed of their wool.
 The matter was taken up by the Wool Growers association, and the attention of the association being called to the non-payment of the amount of taxes due on their tran sient herds, the attorney for the association took up the matter with the boards of supervisors of Coco nino and Yavapai, with the result that an understanding was reached resulting in the payment of the above mentioned sum.

In almost every county Of the territory there has been, at one time or another, what is known to the public as the "court house ring" We all know how the off cials of such a ring stand together, and as result it has caused men who always voted the straight party ticket to depart from the error of their ways and vote for the man who in their judgment was best fitted for the office and less likely to be corrupted by the many snares and pitfalls of the political arena. Taken as a whole great good has resulted from such voting, but as yet corruption in local affairs all over the territory has not been wiped out.
 Owing to the fact that some men have fallen in the performance of their duties, being not strong enough to withstand the temptations of fered, the last legislature passed a law that was hailed with delight, as it was believed it would throw safeguards around the administra ton of county affairs that would limit the opportunity for wrong doing-being none less than the public examiner" law.
 We shall not at present attempt to publish the entire law, but will give few extracts that will serve to emphasize the points we shall endeavol to make. They follow:
 "He shall have full authority to expose false or erroneous systems of accounting and when necessary instruct county officers in the proper mode of keeping the same"
 "The examiner shall report to the governor the result of his ex aminations as we'll as any failure of duty by financial officers, as often as he thinks is required by the pub lie interest, and the governor may cause the result of such examina- tions to be published, or at his dis | aroffon e lyn c,,Ah ho public safety as the exigency may demand"
 "And said public examiner shall have full power and authority, for the various purposes herein named to examine any of the books, papers, accounts, bills, vouchers, or other documents or property of any or all of the aforesaid county officers and custodians of the county funds and to examine under oath any and all of said officers and em. ploves and custodians of county funds aforesaid"
 Now, as is we'll known, there have been all sorts of rumors as to the condition of affairs in this county In order that we might be able to give our readers a full and compre hensive knowledge of the true con. dition we last week wrote to Gov ernor J. H. Kibbey, requesting that we be furnished a copy of the ex- aminer's report for publication Later the following letter was re. ceived:
