Ir SEEMS to be slated that Joe Alexander, of Phoenix, will be the next U. s. marshal of Arizona, ahd that he will be assisted by W. F. Cooper, of Tucson. As usual the juicy plums will go to Phoenix and Tucson. Alexander and Cooper are good men and competent for the place. but it would seem good politics to distribute the officers over the territory. The Guardian intimates that Hon. Lee N. Stratton, of Saf- ford, would not object to the ap- pointment of second place. MT. Stratton is a successful lawyer, and served as district attorney in Gra- ham county, having been elected on the republican ticket, an honor con- ferred upon but few men in this county.

APROPOS of the subsidy of congress and the legislatures of the country, the Fl Paso Herald of recent date contained an editorial which seems to hit the nail on the cabeza:
 "There is an interesting little item in today's paper about members of congress and railway passes. It is of course generally known that mem bers of both branches of congress have received passes and express franks over practically all the trans portation lines in the country. In addition to this, they have received mileage at high rates from the gov ernment for every necessary trip. It is a form of graft so common that it has caused little comment. But the terms of the letter being sent to leg islators by the railroads, declining to issue any more passes, are instructive. Adroitly worded, the letters yet dis close real veXation with the con gressmen because, while receiving railroad passes, they dared to vote for bill designed to regulate railroad rates. The imputation is plain, that in return for the free passes the rail- roads expected the congressman to give the railroads special Considera IlOu. 1nC CSSuuCu QlO uOI SCS IL that way: they ate the free dinner and then complained of the food; ac- cepted passes and forgot to remem- Der their benefactOrs. Like the at tempt of the congressman to collect mileage for the Constructive recess when they did not leave their seats in the hall, this whole free pass busi- ness is contemptible. It is high time for the railroads to put a stop to it, if the congressman could not show the decency to receive these proffered favors. Certainly no one could ex- pect the railroads to give up millions of dollars worth of free transportation to all kinds of public officials unless they expected direct money value in return, by way of special favors. It is a sort of holdup on the part of the public officials, and it does not stop far short of bribery on the part of the railroads
 In Arizona members of the legisla- ture were not only furnished with transportation but certain commit tees were provided with special cars in which to visit the territorial in- stitutions. One committee was even taken to California on a pleasure trip However, it cannot be charged that they went back on the railroads and passed laws in opposition to their interests,

THE campaign inaugurated by the ERA against the board of equalizat ton in its assessment of railroads has borne good fruit Almost every newspaper in the territory, except a few that are directly or indirectly under the influence of the railroads, have indorsed the position taken by the ERA in it's fight for a fair and just equalization of the taxes. The Guar dian in recent issue said:
 "Since that wonderful body known as the board of equalization fixed the assessment, or the farce called an as Sessment, on the railroads, it has had the immaculate gall to ask the differ ent county boards to make copy of the original tax roll of their respec- tive counties, and send it to the board of equalization so that that very competent CD body of free-passers may see whether the farmer, the stockman, the ranCher, the merchant, the miner, is not paying too small d tax. Quite likely a recommendation that this class of property be raised, so that the railroads may get little relief, will follow. In fact.the letter of the board intimates that all prop erty, excepting the railroads, is as sessed too low. We wish to call Gov ernor Kibbey's attention to this part of the Boards action. No one knows better than the governor the inequal- ity of the assessment between the railroads and all other classes of property. Will he tolerate such ac- tion in his appointees? We do not believe if For fhiS bOdV fO assess the railroads at about one-tenth of their cash value and then attempt to raise other property that is assessed at least ten times as high, is cer- tainly not an act that the governor will countenance. He will certainly investigate their acts to find whether this action has been taken because the average taxpayer cannot give passes, or whether it is because the railroads do give them. Until we elect a legislature that will relieve us of the territorial board of equali- zation, we at least have a right to expect the governor to appoint men who have some sense of justice. The people, the taxpayers, are sick and tired of this thing, and until we can get rid of it altogether, call on Gov ernor Kibbey for protection"
 If this board is really in earnest in its desire to see that all classes pay a just proportion of taxation, let it first rescind it's ridiculous Republication of the railroads. 1t cannot make flesh of one class and fowl of another, and at the same time command the respect and confidence of the people.

THE Morenci Leader, which, like the ERA, has always been firm SUD- porter of the ranger service, has ar rived at the conclusion that the time has passed when the full force is needed. The Leader says:
 ''Orce more the question is being discussed as to the advisability of re- ducing the ranger force of the terri, tory one-half, and thus not only cut the expense of the service in two, but also cut the force down to the work it was originally intended to perform. The ranger force as it was originally intended, is undoubtedly one of the best institutions the ter ritory has ever possessed, but the times have improved until it does not now seem necessary to maintain SC large force, and with the press and the people both anxious for the change'it seems probable that Gov. Kibbey will soon turn his personal attention to the matter and regulate it as the conditions warrant. We have always been strong admirers of the ranger force and MOrenci has had the opportunity of knowing the worth of its support, but we believe the case should be most urgent one to call them in from the hills and that instead of them staying around the towns their place is among the hills protecting the interests of the cattlemen and the rancher."

THE supervisors of Cochise county have about concluded that they can not, or will not, comply with the re- quest made by the territorial board of equalization to be furnished with a duplicate copy of the assessment roll. The board claims that it would be impossible to furnish the copy within the time specified and besides it does not consider that such re- quest is reasonable, as the territorial board could not possibly gain any knowledge from it so far as indi- vidual holdings are concerned. The Review says that tine county officers are in a better condition to judge of the number of cattle owned by an individual than the territorial board and that the territorial board could not under the law creating it, do any more than equalize valuations as be- tween the countries of the terri tories. The assessment of the Cop per Queen Mining company as given in for this year is approximately B, 100000. This assessment will be very near one-fourth of the assess ment of the county. The E. P. & S. w. railroad is assessed for nearly an- other million. In a letter to the clerk of the board of supervisors the clerk of the territorial board of equalization complains of the cattle assessment and the mining company assessment, stating that last year there were more cattle shipped from the county than appeared on the as- sessment roll. It may be that many shipments last year, credited to Co chise county, were from Sonora, as Col. Greene, Packard and other big cattlemen in Cochise county have extensive herds in Mexico and ire quently ship these Mexican cattle from points on the railroads in Co., chise county.
