few members have been diligent and
faithful, but there are others who have
been notable chiefly as obstruction
lists and others who have distinguished
themselves only by their inability to
do anything.
So far the record of things done is
fairly presenta BILE, but the things I'M
done which should have been done
make an unenviable catalogue Just
for instance. bill has passed the sem
ate and is held up i'm the house, pro-
viding for what is known as a scrip
system in payment of public improve
ment taxes. This is designed to per-
NIT public improvements on easy pay
ments covering a period of ten years,
so that the smaller property owners
win not be burdened excessively by
paving and other works, and VIII be
enabled TO get the advantage of in
creased property values concurrently
with the payments. The system is in
vogue in numerous other states, is APP
proved wherever it has been tried, and
is Endorsed by all the real estate men
Of this city. 1t should be passed at
once to obviate the possibility OF it's
failure in the last rush of bills
The house bill providing for the re-
moval of the double tax on mortgages
has been held up by the senate, not
because of any particular objection to
it, but because it has become involved
in the controversy, is deserving Of
special attention. Generally speak
ing, any mortgage tax falls finally
upon the borrower. since the lender is
in position to compel the assumption
of any burden by the property owner.
Where tine law taxes mortgages under
the system in vogue here, the evasion
OF taxation by the owner of the mort
gage is a simple matter and the fact
is demonstrated almost daily on the
records Men lending their own money
have provided nonresident companies
which nominally hold title to the mort
gage but are in reality meant to dodge
taxes. On the other hand the owner
OF a small house and lot has no such
means Of escape and the result is to
make him pay more than his share OF
the tax falling upon realty. 1t is an
old subject and it's discussion depends
much upon the point of view. but a
bill affecting such vital interests
( ought to be given a more thorough in
| Vestigation than this bill is getting OF
is likely to get in the brief time re-
naming for consideration.
A legislator finds little enough OF
/ thanks and sympathy for his public
work even when it is conscientious
work; if this legislature is to take
nome any thanks from the great com
mon people, it is due to get move
! on"

FOR JUVENILE COURT.

THE HERALD would feel that it was
not doing it's duty if it failed to
say a word in favor of the Juvenile
court bill now pending before the legis-
lature. The measure provides for the
establishment of a court with excIu-
sive jurisdiction over juvenile Offend
ers, and with officers whose duty it
Will be to look after the welfare of
the boys and girls that way fall into
error. 1t does not seem to US that
there can be serious opposition to this
bin
Its primary object is the separation
of young criminals from the older Of
tenders. Criminals" is hardly the
word to use i'm this connection, either.
boy or girl who has committed
first Offense is not necessarily a GRIM
inal, although, in the eyes of the law,
the law has been broken and somebody
must pay the penalty. Given fair
treatment there is hardly a juvenile
offender who cannot be reformed if tax
en- in time.
Expert criminologists say that the
states which permit the mingling Of
young and old offenders are guilty of
a far graver offense than any boy or
girl can commit. They tell US that
more criminals are made such through
association than through instinct. The
theory that some children are instinct
lively good while others are instructive
" bad is not exactly true. Much de-
ponds on environment. much on asso-
citation and training If boys and girls
in the formative period can be kept
away from evil associations the chances
are decidedly that they will be good
men and women.
We care not how good a boys par
entage may be. place him with evil
companions and keep him among them
for d considerable period. and that boy
viii be n bad boy. At first he viii be
shocked by the talk and the actions
Of his associates. Then he viii toier-
ate them. and at last he will join them
in all they do. 1t is the old principle
of the good apple and the bad apples.
a good apple becomes rotten if it
stays long with rotten apples The
good hortfcuturist is careful to keep
them separated.
So it is with boys and girls. The
juvenile court will if established, keep
the good and the bad apart; It will
winnow the chan from the grain. 1t
will keep many boy and many girl
who has made one mistake from max
ing other mistakes and becoming eter-
naIly damned thereby.

THE LEGISLATURE.

sion, though the law makers viii prob
ably have TO follow an established
custom and "saunter'' until Saturday

Prom the above statement il will be
seen that the lighting of the six apart
ments averaged S1.O1 per day whereas
the charge made by the independent
plant for twenty days. If by meter only.
amounted to S2I6S, an average of SLSS per
day.
The Herald is assured by competent
authority that the meters of the in
dependent plant were Installed on Feb
ruary ?. instead of February 7. as
stated BY the light company. AS TO
the charges made by the light COM
pany for February OF 1904 the COM
pany certainly mas the advantage of

pany TO get reliable data. for that
period. because there have been many
/. changes among the tenants since that
time 1t is quite possible. too. that all
the flats were not occupied for the full
month of February, 1904: indeed, there
is much evidence tending to that be-
lief. as the figures for flats number .
and IL are much lower than those
given for the other four apartments
At any rate, the charge is no lower
than the charge for a like period for
the same month in 1905. Referring to
one year ago is begging the question:
the charge made by The Herald. and
fully substantiated by figures, is that
the present service of the light COM
pany is not up to the efficiency called
for by the company's franchise, and
that the charges made by the company
are entirely out of proportion to the
service rendered.

The Herald figures showed a charge
for the six flats for the month of jan

shows a charge for thirtY-six days of

six days at their own figures, IS cents
more than The Herald claimed.
, Relating to the change from the
Utah Light & Railway company's
service to that of the independent
plant. the light company makes the
foTtoving statement:
THE meters of the Utah Light & Rail-
way company were removed on Feb. ?.
1906. a@d light was furnished from that
date by the Independent plant. It's me-
tors. however. were not installed until
Feb. 4. the light used up to that date not
being recorded. The period. therefore,
covered by its charge for February by
meter is only twenty days. viz: from
Feb Z, the date of the installation of its
meters, until Feb z. the date they were
read (the balance of the charge may have
been estimated from Feb. to the Tth.)
The total net charge made by the Utah

TO GIVE THANKS
Thanksgiving Proclamation Issued
 by the Governor

The mention of Thanksgiving always recalls tender memories of the past. Recollections of family reunions at the old homestead on that day, as far in the past as mem- ory can go, are irresistible. The sad and the gay, sorrow and pleasure, are so blended in these tender mem- ories that the day has become sacred in the American heart.
 According to time honored and approved custom, the president of the United States has by his proc lamation designated Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, 1905, as Thanksgiving Day."
 Therefore, I, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby pro- claim Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, l9O5, to be Thanks giving Day"-a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God for his manifold blessings, and I recommend it's ob- servance as such by the people of Arizona.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed.
 Done in Phoenix, at the capitol, this 9th day of November, 1905.. [Seal] JOSEPH H. K1BBEY.
 By the Governor:
 w. F. NICHOLS,
 Secretary of the Territory.

Why They Did It

Regarding the plea of guilty en- tered by nine Mormons charged with violating the Edmunds act, the Winslow Mail has the follow. ing: Nine of the eleven Mormons that were indicted some time ago for polygamy plead guilty before Judge Sloan at Prescott Tuesday.
 Those that plead guilty acknowl- edged at least a technical violation of the anti-polygamy law known as the Edmunds act. In confessing their guilt they expect clemency from the court on the ground that they entered into polygamy before the passage of the Edmunds act, and that it would have been inhu- man on their part to have discarded those wives in excess of those al- lowed by law. by whom children had been born.

Died on the Desert

Bisbee, Ariz., Nov. 12.-Captain Rynning, at the head of a search ing party sent after the GrindelI party, which left Douglas last June bound for Tiburon Island, in the Gulf of California, and have since been missing, with the exception of member of the party named Hoff- man, who arrived in Guaymas couple of weeks since in an ex- hausted condition, returned to Guaymas yesterday after an ab- sence of week. The party sailed up the coast from Guaymas and made five landings on Tiburon isl- and, but could find no trace of the party there. They saw no Indians, but found plenty of fresh signs. They crossed over to the western coast of the main land and trailed fifty miles. They found the dead horses and burros of the missing party, but no trace of the missing men or their bodies.
 The camping outfit was also found and the old camps of the party were located, but there was no trace of the missing men. Hoffman, the guide, who made his way down the coast after becoming separated from Grindell on June 29 last, took the searching party to the place he saw the missing men last, and the trail was followed until obliterated.
 Rynning Is of the opinion that the men, crazed with thirst, wan dered away into some obscure spot and died.
 Grindell's brother and his party are still in that section. Rynning and the searchers cut their trail twenty miles inland, going south, and again still farther in, where they say they turned and started back north.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
To Be Held in Phoenix Decen.
 Der 4th to 9th, 1905
Vernon L. Clark, Superintendent.

vernon l.. Clark, k,Super1ntenQent. Col. James H. McClintock an- nounces that he has completed arr engagements for the competitive drill between the National Guard, Nor nal school and Indian school cadets. There will be six compa- nies entered besides the band. The drill will be for trophy and the Arizona territorial fair champion ship.
 The big drilling contests for the championships of Arizona are at- tracting much attention among the miners of the territory, and there will, no doubt, be entries from all the big camps. Several of the prom inent mining men of the territory have been asked to be present at the fair and conduct these contests.
 The several counties of the terri tory are now represented by fair commissioners as follows: Apache, J. l.. Hubbell, Ganado; Coconino, P. A. Melick, Williams; Cochise, w. B. Kelly, Bisbee; Graham, Lu- ther Green, Solomonville; Gila, c. E. Taylor, Globe; Maricopa, John R. Norton, Phoenix; A. J. Peters, Tempe; Mohave, Anson H. Smith, Kingman; Navajo, w. H. Burbage, Winslow; Pinal, w. B: Twitchell, Kelvin; Pima, w. N. Breckenridge, Tucson; Santa Cruz, E. Titcomb, Nogales; Yavapai, Frank Wright. Prescott; Yuma, w. E. Marvin, Yuma. These gentlemen will see that their several counties are rep- resented by proper exhibits. They are the Official boosters"
 No doubt the greatest harness race at the fair will be the free-for- all pace, which is known as the "Bisbee Stake" There are ten en- tries, and they include Hazel Patch. with record of 2:O2a; Zolock, 2:O54. and Sallie Pointer, 2:11. Colonel Greene has two in this race that are not marked, and J. c. Adams has his horse Custer, said to be the fast est owned in the territory. This will be great race.
 Remember the date-December 4th to 9th, 1905.
Williams news., 1905-11-18
Fast Horses at the Fair

Of the stake races probably the most interest attaches to the Bis bee stake and the Clifton and Mo- renci stake, known respectively as No. 6 and No. 5. The Clifton and Morenci stake, No. 5. is 2:17 pace, with fourteen entries, including the wonderful Billings and Florence Wilton, owned by w. c. Greene, and a long list of other horses.
 The Bisbee stake, No. 6, is free for-all pace, which will include such steppers as Hazel Patch and Zolock. Hazel Patch has a record of 2:O23 made at Lexington within the last month, where she was entered in the Grand Circuit 2:04 pace. She went to California a few days ago for the express purpose of pacing one or two matches with Zolock before the Arizona fair. Zolock is the sensational horse of the year, having a record of 2:054.
 On Saturday of fair week there will be a special 2:O3 pacing race, in which it is expected both these horses will appear. and from their records and the speed of the new track, it is expected that Arizona will have the honor in this race of showing the fastest time in pac ing race in the United States this year.
 Billings, a three-year-old colt mentioned above, will, during the fair, start to beat the worlds Swear old pacing record of 2:O54, now held by Klatawah. 4

Goes Out of Stock Business

MT. James Walsh, for many years one of the county's prominent and we'll known stockmen, was in the city the first of the week, having arrived from the west. He in- formed us that last week he had closed a deal whereby he trans ferred his holdings in the western end of the county. Some years since he was extensively engaged in the sheep business here and later embarked in the cattle raising in- dustry. about thirty miles north of Aubrey, in the northwest corner of this county. For the past few years he has been conducting this busi- ness most successfully. As stated above, last week he transferred his extensive holdings in that section to Messrs. J. w.. Smith and J. H.. Haley, also of Pine Springs dis trict, consisting of cattle, ranches, reservoirs and wells, which cleans up most of MT. Walsh's remaining interests in the county outside of Williams. Here he is the owner of a fine business block and an ele- gant residence. Just what he will engage in in the future he has not yet decided, though he expects to visit Sonora, Mexico, inside the next two weeks, and with other parties may decide to embark in the saw mill and numbering business.

Territorial Auditor Wesley Hill was in the city last Saturday look ing into the affairs of the local branch of the Arizona Central bank, which he stated are in very four ishing condition. If the plans as outlined by the administration do not miscarry, MT. Hill will be re- lieved of his duties as auditor on the first of the coming year, his place being taken by John H. Page. MT. Hill is a thoroughly competent man for the position and has ad- vanced the interests of his office in a remarkab ble manner since his ap- pointment last spring.
