THE GRAND JURY REPORT.

Paragraph No. 816, Penal Code, Revised Statutes of Arizona pro- vides that
 It shaH be the dattg of the Grand Jury, annually, to make a careful and complete examination of the books, records and accounts of all the officers of the county, and es- pecially those pertaining to the revenue. and to report thereon; and If, in their judgment the ser vices of an expert are necessary they shall have the power to em- ploy one, etc"
 In response to a public demand, repeatedly voiced by THE OASIS, the Grand Jury of Santa Cruz county impanelled at the Decem- Der term of court exercised their power set forth in the statute quoted and employed an expert to perform the duty designated. In ac- cordance with the instructions of the body So employing him the ex- pert presented his report to the succeeding Grand Jury impanelled at the term of court which conven- cd on the tenth Of the present month. That report was carefully checked and sifted by committee of the Grand Jury, which commit tee included some of the best busi- ness men in the county. The com mittee was busily engaged in that work q greater part of the entire week, and by a unanimous vote 1t was incorporated in the Grand Jnry report. and made a part of it's record 1t is now on file in the office of the clerk of the district court, where it is public docum- ent, open to inspection by all. The report of the expert was also filed, by order of the Grand Jury, with the clerk of the board of supervis- ors, and is a matter of record in that office, also open to inspection.
 The report of the Grand Jury and all of the statistical tables, except three, compiled by the ex- pert are presented in the pages of THE OASIS this week. (Since this was put into type it has been de- cided to hold the statistical tables over until next week) Those re- ports bear out the demand so fre- quently made by TIE OASIS, that the books be exported and they make very interesting reading They show very plainly that it was high time that the various county offices should receive an overhauling and they present in- controvertible proof that during the four preceding years every county official from the board of supervisors down has persistently and continuously disregarded the plain letter of the law in the con- duct of his office, and that by their carelessness and laxitY there has been no doubt loss to the county far beyond that set forth in the re- port, to recover which the district

hHWuft vf indictments For fHN plnin miraculous nl tbe Iaw reveal. ed Bui il would seeia likely tbat t took into view Che fact that much of tbe laxity shown in pub. lie affairs was due to ignorance and inexperience upon the part of various officials rather than to criminal intent. To procure resti. tuition of money illegally expended, and to put the county government upon it's proper basis will be a great deal to accomplish; and in pointing out the many repeated in- fractions of law with instruction to enter suit for recovery of the money Illegally expended, the Grand Jury has done great work. Hereafter, it is very safe to say that all conn- ty officials will pay more attention to the statutes governing their official duties
 And more than all this Grand Jury has done a great work in blazing the way and pointing out the path of duty of future grand juries. Heretofore there has been among the people of Santa Cruz county but slight grasp of the significance and power and duty of grand jury. But few of our citizens and taxpayers have real- ized the fact that the grand jury is one of the greatest institutions in the civil polity of the Anglo-Saxon race. As declared by Macauley lit is the grand inquest of the peo- pie, wherein they sit in judgment upon kings and rulers, judges and legislators, and officials of every degree or grade. declare wherein they have failed in their duty, and point to remedy for the offence" !" A grand jury is people come to judgment upon the official doings and acts of their servants. The paragraph in the statute quoted at the outset of this article states ex- plicitly that it shall be the dutg of the Grand Jury, annually, to make careful and complete examina- tion, etc" That paragraph has come down to us through all the statutes of the English speaking race from the time of Magma Charta. It is as old as civil lib- erty among the Anglo-Saxon race, and IS as necessary of obedience now as Tn the day of King John. Heretofore grand juries in Santa Cruz county have sighted their sworn duty, just as have boards of supervisors, sheriffs, assessors, treasnrers, and others. The grand jury which was dissolved last Saturday evening performed its full duty, and set an example that will be followed by all succeeding grand inquests Of the people.

 8i296l0 1t will be observed tbal after the year 1902 there was Q progressive falling off in the amount of personal property tax returned as collected by the Asses sor. With the stubs of three of the four years missing from the office 1t is impossible to determine wherein lie the causes for the trem. endous falling off shown by the re- port. It cannot be shown whether there was an actual diminution in the amount of personal property taxed, whether the Assessor failed to collect all he should, or whether he failed to account for all he col lected. Without preservation oi the stubs of the personal property tax receipts there Is positively no check upon his operations, and 1t is impossible for taxpayers 10 learn whether the money they paid to the Assessor reached the county treasury or was diverted on the way. That is why Paragraph No S3 of the Penal Code is so string ent. But for the safeguard that paragraph provides any collector of taxes could account for what money he pleased, suppress the stubs of receipts given and 1t would be impossible to check up his accounts to determine whether he had accounted for all he should.
 The report sets forth that two personal property tax receipts have been presented at the office of the County Treasurer, Of which there IS no record. One is for $6.62 and and is dated May 9, 1904; the other for $S.40, dated July 30, 1904. Were the stub books of the per- sonaI property taxes for that year in the office there would be a re- cord.
 School District No. 1 (Nogales) is also under criticism in the re- port. From the wording of the report 1t is evident that the Board of Trustees of that district have been as slack in exercising super vision over the affairs of the school as have been the Board of Super vlsors in their larger and wider field. The school board seem to have rested under a misapprehen- sion of their powers and duties, They seem to think that they are judicial body whose duty may be to hear complaints when matters go wrong in the school Instead of that they are an executive body whose duty and business are to see that the school is conducted prop erly and effectively 50 there may be no cause for complaint. It is their business to apply the ounce of prevention rather than the pound of cure.
 The report of the Grand Jury is fully as eloquent in it's omissions as in its allegations. It might have gone ahead and found q

attorney is Instructed pY tne tffaua Jury lo enter suits against ihe parties responsible therefor and tbeif boudsmen.
 In the report ol the Grand Jury there is set forth in each case cited the paragraph of the statute ignor- ed or violated, and where penalties are attached Co the omission or neglect of an official act, that clause of the penal code applying is cited. So in reading the report the citizen and taxpayer is inform ed at once where to look to learn wherein and how far his chosen servants have fallen short of their sworn legal duty, and what may be done to them for their failures to obey the law in discharge of their duties.
 The report begins with the Board of Supervisors and charges great slackness in the conduct of their office, including several counts, viz:
 a. Failing to keep close super vision of the officials who disburse the county money, etc."
 b. "In allowing exorbitant de- mands to be presented and ordered paid"
 c. ''In allowing county officers to present demands not their own"
 q. In not making quarterly examination of all blank licenses of the County Treasurer.
 c. Tn allowing demands ofI county officers whose accounts had not been rendered and approved"
 f In failing to have the Asses sor settle his accounts monthly
 2. Tn failing to have prepared by the Clerk and under their direc- tion annual statements of the float ing and funded debt of the county, ,I as required by law"
 In the foregoing are listed seven attractions of the law by the Board of Supervisors. In the body of the report the reader will find set forth the evidence of those seven infractions, both documen- tary and oral, with citations of the paragraphs Of statutes thus ignored or violated Paragraph 16S of the Penal Code. Revised Statutes makes every separate official neglect or omission misdemeanor. So in reading the report all those gentle men who have served upon the Board of Supervisors during the years 1901, 1902, 1908, 1904, can see how they have been skating on thin ice.
 The report develops that the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors had not kept as records certain statements of poll tax receipts and road tax receipts.
 It also develops that the Probate Judge had not kept fee book as required by law.
 It also shows that the former District Attorney had not kept a register of actions as required by { law.
 And 1t charges that the field notes of the County Surveyor hade not been kept in q book, as re- quired by law
 It suggests that the County Sup erintendent of Health and County Physician keep record books.
 By implication the former Coun- ty Treasurer is criticised for failing to keep his official accounts item ized.

is too late for a sinner to repent when
on his death bed.
The text was taken from Acts 3:19:
Repent therefore and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted OUT
Before announcing his text the speak
err said that If he were sent for to visit
man on his death bed he would do
all in his power to have him accept
Christ as his Savior but at the same
time he would have little confidence
that the profession would mean any
thing.
"a man who believes that death con-
fronts him has nothing to give up"
said he. Therefore, there is no con-
version on his part. Conversion is a
turning from sin. 1t is a choice of God
instead of sin. A man on his death
bed knows that he has no more chance
for sin, therefore you can expect no
conversion.
"God will not be trifed with, and the
result of a deliberate choosing of sin
rather than God will be fatal"
At the close of the service an en-
thusiastic after meeting was held.

SPEAKS 10 YOUNG PEOPLE.
Rev. Henry ostrom breaches Power
full Sermon

Rev. Henry Ostrom spoke to an audi
ence of young people which filled the
Emmanuel Presbyterian church last
night. 1t was announced that the SER
vices would be conducted especially
for young men and women and great
interest was manifested.
What Do 1 Live For?" was the
subject chosen by the speaker, and in
the course of his sermon he pointed
out the different pursuits of young
people, saying that some seek only
personal power, some live for ease and
comfort, some live to eat, some fol
raiment and for various other things
but that the only successful life is the
one which Is lived as Christ lived.
The text was. Christ has brought
life and immortality to light" The
number OF persons who expressed a
desire to take Christ as the pattern
for their lives was larger than at any
previous meeting.

OBJECT LESSON FOR CHILDREN
Rev. Tilman Hobson breaches to a
Youthful Congregation

Youthful Congregation
One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of the evangelstic campaign was
that held last evening in the Olivet
Congregational church. Evangelist
Tilman Hobson prefaced his sermon
with an object lesson to the children
little sunbeams." as he called them.
He illustrated his talk with apples,
and said in part:
"You are not ashamed to go to the
public school, and so you should not
be ashamed to belong to the school of
Christ. Here is an apple, spotted and
rotten. This represents sin, showing
up the boy who plays hockey I see
you know what that means. Here is
one rosy and bright. God looks at the
inside and we at the clothes. ] cut
this apple and find it black inside
rotten. A boy comes home after hav-
ing been away, and on seeing his
mother says he has the smallpox. His
mother is Mortified and says he must
not enter, that his brothers and sis
| ters and grandparents are in the
house and that he must go to the pest
house, where she will carry her love
and all good things to him. No man
expects to present himself at heavens
gate with a black heart and say, Let
me in We cannot be permitted to
enter where all is pure with our hearts
black with sin OF where the worm of
iniquity gnaws.;
Following the address to the chill
dren, Rev. Tilman Hobson spoke to
the older members of the congrega-
tion, taking as his text Psalms, 1879.
Following the sermon Mr.. Jeffrey
sang >solos, as did also Mr.. Hobson and
Miss Whitice.

AGAINST uNPARDoNARLE SIN
DR.. Elliott Urges Sinners to Repent
While There Is Time


"Can any one commit the unpardon-
able sin?"
This was the question DR.. Elliott
sought to answer at the meeting in
the Asbury M. e. church in East Los
Angeles last evening. He spoke from
the text, Matthew 1882: "All manner
Of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven
unto men, but the blasphemy against
the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven
unto men,"
1.-THE text teaches three truths clear
ly, unequivocally and without contra
diction elsewhere in the Bible" said
the speaker
First, the loving kindness and ten
der mercy of God. All manner of sins
forgiven. The drunkard? Yes, ever
since the time of Noah. The deceitful
schemer? Yes, ever since the time Of
Jacob. The man who yields to lust
Yes, ever since King David on the
throne wronged Bathsheba. The scar
let sin? Yes, ever since Jesus forgave
the woman caught in the act of adul-
terry and said to her cowardly ac-
cusers: Let him that is without sin
among you cast the first stone The
murderer? Yes, ever since Jesus cried
on Calvary: Father, forgive them;
they know not what they do Have
you committed any other sin In
thought, word or deed? 1t will be for
given IL it is confessed and forsaken.
Second, The faithfulness Of God in
warning. There are those who think

Good Cheer MEETING

All the evangelists were present al
the good cheer meeting held yesterday
morning in the First Methodist church
and gave encouraging reports as to
the work in their districts. Some OF
the ministers offered suggestions and
one which was given by DR.. Talmage
met with much favor.
DR.. Talmage says he has known OF
several instances during the campaign
where people who did not belong to
the church were kept away from the
meetings because there is no room for
them, and that the place for the Chris
tians is in the overflow meeting.
