Bisbee daily review., 1905-09-29

has proved a boomerang and the Re publican Governor who was it's insti- gator. assisted by a mongrel newspa- per, has sunk his party into political oblivion forever.
 If the action of the Territorial Board of Equalization is so popular with the people as the evening organ at Phoenix attempts to make it ap- pear. how is it that three-fourths of the counties affected. through their elected Boards of Supervisors and their elected District Attorneys. aTe praying the last resort in this Terri tory to annul the action of the Klbbey Board of Equalization?
 Go into all the counties with the exception of Maricopa. the hot bed of political intrigue. where the gaping mouths of the Territorial institutions must be filled under the administra- ton of extravagant Republican boards. and we find the people. the small taxpayers, if you please. de- nounciug the unwarraDted action of the Kibbey administration as a hion- handed proceeding never before equal ed in the history of the Territory.
 The attempted equalization of the assessment of the mining interests of Arizona. when the facts have become known. resolves itself into a farce, with the Governor of the Territory in the leading role and a dummH Attor- nev General as the clown. Throttling all opposition among his appointees. even resorting 10 the removal of inc member from Pima county to accom- plish his purpose. we find the follow irs result at equalization:
 Value of a patented non-producing mine in Santa Cruz county. si.0O0.
 Value of a patented non-Droducing mine in Cochise county. $500.
 Value of patented non-producing mine in Graham county s4.000.
 These patented mines are compos- ed of twenty acres approximately with just enough of assessment work done to entitle the owner to patent. Will some good old farmer in the Salt River valley rise in his place. and in a few brief and pertinent Ie- marks explain 10 us where the equali- ration part comes in?
 Is it possible that a patented oon- producing mine. just across the lioe in Santa Cruz county is worth $500 less than the same piece of ground in Cochise county? But allowing this small discrepancy, as we go north and cross the county boundary into Gra- ham. We find the same piece of ground on ;he rolls of that county, put there by the order of the Kibbey Board of Equalization. at s4,00O.
 This same discrepancy holds good throughout the Territory. Is it any wonder that the people, the small owners. the business man. the labor CT. who are anxious to see the main industry of the Territory treated fair iy, are up in arms protesting through their Boards of Supervisors and Dis. trict Attorneys against this outrage.
 The organ Of the Kibbey board has at last shown it's true colors. At the sound of the first volley fired in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, it has cut tail and run, deserted the ship and sits mouthing and spewing against "alien corporations" 'non-citi zens" greedy corporations" in it's wild endeavors to get under cover, while the victorious small mine own CTS already scent the victory stored up for them on November 17th.
 The Review proposes to hold the nose of the official C-ean of the Kib bey Beard to the rack while the dose is administered.
