Occasionally one, and this likely to be

now-was another big man with an
eye out for bags to carry; tall and
rather spare man this was and man

an overcoat and apparently he really
wanted such jobs as he could pick up

And when he met the big man COM

he sheered over toward the bag and
offered to carry it. And the big man
with the bag didn't sheer off from the

whatever, but he sized him up in
minute and in the most natural way
in the world he held the big bag up
high to show how light it was and
said to the other big man:

said:
"Oh, thank you"
Now this was meeting as between
man and man, for which both no doubt

CHEAP LABOR TRAFFIC

One day last week big ship.
ment OF cheap labor passed down
the valley to be distributed on the
public works between here and in
cluding the government dam at
Roosevelt, and in addition to this
wholesale shipment there is hardly
a day passes that fails to find the
evening train loaded with fifteen
or twenty foreigners coming 10 to
be dumped off at the several points
where the big contract for public
works are now in operation. The
GUARDIAN is not blind to this
fragrant infringement on the rights
of American labor, and has re-
peatedly called attention to the
neglect of those responsible, who
for some reason have seemingly
winked one eye and allowed this
Wholesale traffic to be carried on
unmolested.
Most of this cheap labor is made
up of very undesirable and dang
erous element of foreigners who
come across the border line in vio-
lation of the immigration laws of
the United States; when once here
they are distributed throughout
the territory by "agencies" that
make this a business, and are
thrown in direct competition with
honest, hard working Americans,
who have their homes here and
are trying to make an honest liv.
ing, school their children and up
hold the citizenship Of our country.
A great majority of these foreign
ers are agitators and as a natural
result demoralIze the cause of
labor wherever they go and add
heavily each succee ding term to
our criminal court calendars.
If they are brought here in vio-
lation of our laws (and il is gener-
ally understood they are) there is
speedy remedy to stop it if taken
up by the proper authorities. They
should be kept out. The Ameri-
can labor deserves better than to
be forced In competition with the
cheap refuse elements that come
from other countries.

ARIZONA SINGLE OR
A TERRITORY FOREVER


THE tamocratic party in all its
platforms in all the counties in
Arizona has always declared for a
just and equitable taxation. This
means TO tax all alike. The DEM
ocrats of Graham county have
carried out this principle, and we
wish TO give warning 10 the demo-
Gratis of other mining counties that
unless they carry out the principles
Of their platform they will find
the republicans will force an issue
upon them this fall that will be
hard to explain. The doctrine of
equal iaxation is democratic doc
trine, pure and simple, and If the
democrats of Cochise and some
other large mining counties are
going TO attempt to protect the
big tax dodgers and if they meet
defeat at the hands of the republi-
can party this fall it is their own
fault. The people have awakened
to the fact that they are paying
ten times as much taxes as the
weslthy corporations and they will
not stand il much longer. Ora.
ham county, together with Yava-
pal, has given an illustration that
with an equitable assessment taxes
should be much less than they
have been. The democrats had
better not wink at the facts that
are staring them in tho face.

In q paper laid before the terri
torial board this week by Assessor
Sullivan Of Yavapai county, says
the following of Assessors John j..
Birdno: / cannot pass this assess
ment without complimenting my
friend Birdno, the efficient, honest
and fearless assessor of Graham
county, on its fullness and COM
pleteness. l want to say, too, that
from the information l have, | am
satisfied that it is not Mr., Birdno's
fault that Graham county waited
until the eleventh hour to take a
place alongside of Yavapai as a
tax payer on its mines. The ex'
perience that teaches that the
county assessor proposes and the
county board of equalization dis
poses, has also been nine, and /
know how it is.
John J. Birdno, editor of the
Graham Guardian, and assessor of
Graham county, is in the city to-
day, being accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Blanche Birdno.
Mr.. Birdno came up to attend the
session of the Territorial Board of
Equalization. He has been quite
prominent in the stirring events
surrounding the mining tax con-
troversy of the past year.
Mr.. Birdno threw bomb into
the camp of the Graham county
mine owners last year by boosting
their assessments nearly two mill
ion dollars. They appealed to the
Graham county board of review
and the assessment was set back.
Then the territorial board of equal
ization at its memorable meeting
of year ago put the figures back
to where Mr.. Birdno had them and
made the other raises that precipi-
tated the law suits that were tried
in the supreme court IN January
and which resulted in the board of
equalization being sustained.
This year the Graham county
mines made returns Of two aud a
half million dollars moro than last
year, and that being satisfactory
