WILL TRY IT AGAIN
Famous Copper Queen Tax Suit
 Comes Up Again

Public Examiner w. c. Foster, of Phoenix, has been in the city the past few days collecting the facts in the Copper Queen back tax case for the use of Attorney General Clark, who at the instance of Governor Kibbey has been ordered to take the matter up again and endeavor to collect the back taxes alleged to be due on the assessment placed on the property in the year 1901. The amount will be ordered placed upon the back tax books, and with the interest mounts to over $100.OOQ at this time.
 This is the famous tax case of 1901 when the Copper Queen was raised from $553.514 to $2,46495 The company paid $9,132,64 on the original assessment and the remain der was contested, being in the courts for three years and was fin ally compromised by the board for $5.661 A Messrs. English, Nc Far land and Edwards were engaged as special counsel with District Attor- ney Land and the case cost several thousand dollar which was paid out of the compromise fund. Later O Gibson as tax attorney. made an effort to have the assessment placed on the rolls, questioning the right of the board to compromise. The proceeding were demurred to and dismissed.
 The attorney general is of the opinion that practically the same questions were involved in the United Verde case from Yavapai county, the supreme court deciding that the board had no authority to effect a compromise unless proven that the property was not valued at the amount assessed. The amount involved, with interest to this date, ! will foot up over $1O0 900, and the treasurer will be ordered. perhaps by mandamus, to place the com pany assessment on the rolls.- Prospector.

The Santa Fe has made two rul
 ings lately in regard to hauling freight for employees. Heretofore the company hauled the household goods of employees from one point to another when they moved their place of residence without charge. A few days ago a ruling was made that hereafter the road would charge full freight rates for all household goods carried for employees. Later a notice was received to the effect that this ruling would apply only to those employees whose change in loca ation was at their own request. In other words, if the company arbitrarily transfers an employe it will haul his household goods free.

RECORD OF THE DEMOCRATS
What Revision of the Tariff Under
That Party's Rule Brought
About.

There is one sure way to get the
tariff revised. Even the Republican
revisionists know well what IL is. 1t
is nothing more or less than voting
the Democratic ticket Here's predict.
ing that if Massachusetts would elect
Democratic governor and a majority
of Democratic congressman for the
next three or four years the tariff
would be revised IN a hurry, even by
its friends. The way to get some
thing in this country is to vote for
it rather than nope for it. The ballot
was made for exactly such a purpose.
There is only one way to revise the
tariff-vote the Democratic ticket, the
wicked Democratic ticket 1t beats
the world as a protest.-Springfel
Republican.
Supposing all OF which to be true,
then of course history would repeat
itself and history is always illuminat.
ing and instructive A majority of
the people voted the Democratic ticket
in 1892 and they got a revision of the
tariff by the congress they elected
The first voters of 1906 were not old
enough in 1S93-1S97 to realize fully
what Democratic tariff revision meant
and would mean now. It's a long
story a cruel story, but a story with
which the new voters should famil.
iarize themselves before they cast
their ballots next November. Then,
there is the story of 1874 and the tar.
ifs of 1916 and 1857. The history of
that time is much like the history of
1892 and the tariff of 1894 I'm
Goubtedly the Republican is right
when it says the way to get the tariff
revised is to vote the Democratic
ticket-that is, for a majority to vote
it. But the more voters study his
tory the less inclined will they be to
vote that ticket The fact is, says
the American Economist, that only
few politicians, doctrinaires and self.
ish people want the tariff revised. The
large majority of our farmers our
laborers, our manufacturers, our mer.
chants and people in general are per.
fectly satisfied with the tariff as it is,
And incidentally it might be said that
Massachusetts, even by going Demo.
cratic cannot make Il tariff for the
other states. She would do better to
remain Republican and protectionist.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Congress Not Likely to Legisiate for
Lock or Sea Level Type.

Washington, II. G. - Congress IS
not likely to pass legislation determ-
lining the type of canal to be con
structed across the isthmus Of Pana-
ma. Although no vote was taken,
that was the drift of n discussion by
the senate committee on inter oceanic
canals, which was in session for three
hours Wednesday. The sentiment ex-
pressed by an Overwhelming majority
of the committee was that the present
law, the Spooner act, intended to
provide for a lock canal and that con
gress having once decided this ques-
tion, should not alter its decision, es-
pecially as the administration charged
with the construction favors that plan.
During the discussion Secretary
Taft's report was quoted. as follows:
"If congress decides in favor of a
lock canal or if it chooses not to
make any decision at all and is will
ing to leave the situation upon
the law as it is, the president will not
hesitate to adopt the plan recommend
ed by the minority, with some possible
modification, and proceed to the
speedy construction of the great
waterway at an S5-foot level"
The isthmian canal commission
Wednesday decided to ask for an ap-
preparation Of $2G,34S,2S1 to continue
the construction of the canal during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907.
The estimates are for a lock canal.

BENEFITS OF EDUCATION.
Theorists in Canada Receive Surpris-
ing Enlightenment on Pro-
tective Tariff

The Canadian Tariff commission is
giving hearings in Toronto, and there
have come out some points which sur
prise the theorists. Here is one of the
points, taken from a non-political re-
port OF the proceedings Of that tariff
commissions:
Here may be noted one remarkable
fact about the inquiry in Toronto as
well as in Montreal. In almost every
case the manufacturer comes with fig
ures which show that both the raw
material and the finished product OF
his competitor in the United States sell
at much lower prices than the prices
current in Canada. 1t is the inference
that it is cheaper to live and buy in
the United States than in Canada, and
that American manufacturers do not
push prices to the limit of their tariff
protection, which averages nearly dou-
bic the Canadian protection, as do
manufacturers in the Dominion"
That knocks out from under the
Democratic howlers another of their
props for a false position, says the
Worcester Telegram. That is direct
evidence from the outside that Ameri-
can manufacturers do not take advan-
tage of the tariff protection to hold up
the prices of their products as they
have been accused OF doing Testimony
before the same commission showed
that Canada demands more protection
by tariff because the manufacturers OF
the United States charge higher prices
for their goods offered in Canada than
they sell for in the United States. That
again knocks out the claims of the
Democrats that the surplus of the tariff
protected industries is urged on foreign
peoples at prices below what is charged
in this country. Canada is giving the
people of this country a liberal educa-
ton in the benefits as well as the ne
cessities of a protective tariff. And
Canada is so near Massachusetts!
Whitney says it is nearer than New
York state.

Parish for payment for ice furnished

souri,, Illinois and Tennessee. Con
gress authorized the payment of
the claim. Secretary Shaw has re
fused to turn over the money because
