A Fierce Wind,

A fierce wind sprang up from the southeast this morning, and from the way hats flew and umbrellas turned the wrong way, there was considerable in- convenience caused. The bay pre- scented an interesting aspect as the waters were churned up and converted into anything but a comfortable condi- tiofi for the smaller boats. A slight rainfall made things more uncomforta- ble along the water front and there were not many visitors there during the quickiy-formed storm.

who must depend upon fees eirnsd fer support.
 Apache county may rot have re- ceived the attention from the rangers that its people think they deserved, but 1t is fact that since the organization of the rangers. some very bad gangs of thieves have been broken up that were lowering very near the Apache county line. notably the notorious bands of cattle thieves in the Eagle creek and Black river country in the northern portion of Graham county.
 We do not believe there is any senti- ment in this county favorable to the abolishment of the ranger service and feel that such E step would be unwar- ranted by present conditions and hope to see the bill of Councilman Ruiz come to naught.

HEARD TO UNDERSTAND"

The Prescott Courier agrees with the nternational-Amer that the law providing for doubling up on the pre- cinct officers is not desirable. Says the Courier:
 "Just why some people are eternally trying to bring about conditions whereby men who serve the public cannot make decent living is hard to understand. In Prescott, one justice can pick up just about enough busine to pay him for his trouble, and no more. Should that business be divided, there would be not enough in it to pay any man capable of making living to bother with the office at all- These gre well known facts, and Prescott, with its population of over 5000, would come within the provisions of the pro- posed law to give cities of that popula- tion two justices of the peace"
 The principal objection of this paper to the proposed justice of the peace law is that it would be in the nature of legislsting men out of office, or taking away from them a goodly DOT ton of their business which they had been commissioned to transact by elec- tioE by the people. Let the law be amended to take effect in 1907 and this paper will not further. oppose its passage.

ARIZONA SINGLE AND ALONE
 The outlook for Arizona being elimi- mated from the statehood fight is ex. ceedingly good. Should this be the result of the long contest wsged it will be well.
 Should all of the other territories be disposed of, resulting in Oklahoma and New Mexico going into statehood that will give four more senators for Arizona's admission later on.
 This is not all. Arizona being the only territory she will be the special fsvorite of the federal government. She will receive much consideration. This in many ways. Public buildings. the reclamation of her arid lands, much needed federal legislation. All of which will be of great benefit to Arizona.
 But there will be more in store for us.
 So soon ss Arizona stands alone as 8 territory we can rightly ask for home rule. home government. the right to elect all our federal territorial off, cials. This until we are admitted ss 2 state.
 There should be no good reason to deny this request. The fact that it would not include two senators would be 80 much the more in our favor.
 Arizona, the only territory. with home rule, would be the most favored political --division..in the United States. It is hoped such will be the final result of this statehood wrangle.-Arizona Star.

FEES AMOS SALARIES

The tendency of up-to-dste public intelligence is toward doing. .awsy with the old fee system of public offices and putting officials on fixed salary. The tendency is right and deserves encour- agement at every turn. It is business like to pay public servants fair sal .ry and no more. Those who serve the people in official capacities should work at a stated price. This is unde- niably true of populous communities. where fees are likely to rapidly out grow the intention of the law.
 The salary system is highly prefer able to the fee system in that it secures better service. The difference between the two systems is the difference be- tween q public office and a political job. The fee offices are political pIums around which large political activities revolve. They are party assets and are used primarily and sub stantially for party benefit; with their occupants the public interest is rarely better than a secondary and cempara- lively trifiing matter.
 Officers should have fair salaries and the public should have the benefit of excess revenues.
 The present legislature should not overlook this matter of excessive pay of public officials. Six years ago all the recorders in the territory were placed on salary and since that time these offices have earned many thou sand dollars for the several counties, ever and above.the amount required to pay their salaries. Other opportuni- ties for like saving to the territory without reducing the compensation of officials below what it ought to be can be found if search is made. The dis triet clerks ofArizona shonid be placed on salary and the fees turned over to the county tressuiies of the several counties. Such law would put sev- eral thousand dollars into the treasury Of Coobise county after paying to the district cle.k salary equal to that Received by the governor of Arizona.
 Wherever a salary will result in saving to the territory and the counties it should be applied.

KEEP THE RANGERS

Councilman Ruiz, of Apache coun- ty, has introduced bill repeating the law which provides for the ranger ser vice in Arizona. This till should not receive favorable consideration. The rangers of this territory have been ben efcial in keeping Arizona clear of desperadoes and in assisting the live stock sanitary board in ridding the territory of cattle thieves. which before the organization of the ranger service amounted to quite per cent of our citizenship.
 Whether or not if would be prscti- cable to reduce the ranger fierce is e question which should be investigated by the legislature, but there can be no doubt about the desirability to retain a company of rangers. New Mexico, recognizing the benefit which Arizona has received from the rangers is now providing a company, bills having been introduced and favorably received for that urpose in the New Mexico legis- lats-e now in session at Santa Fe.
 Should ths ranger force be abolished in Arizona it would be in the nature of an invitation to the hard characters who formerly infested Arizona to re- turn and resume operations. The rangers are under pay of the territory and are at all times available for hunting down criminals which is not practicable fer other peace officers,
