FRANK HENEY IN PHOENIX
Appeared Before Supreme Court in
 Steinfeld- Zeckendorf Case.

Attorney Frank J. Heney, who since he left Arizona a few years ago, has become national charater as the re- suit of his strenuous prosecutions of land grafters, is in the city, says the Phoenix Enterprise, arriving here from San Francisco to assist Senator E. &. Ives in the case of Steinfeld vs. Zeck- endorf.
 Heney and Ives appeared in court today for Steinfeld, arguing before the supreme justices in case which is estimated to involve interests as high as $300,o It is mining suit involv- ing the Old Boot property near Tucson.
 Heney states that he will soon be through with his prosecution of the land fraud cases, it being his intention as soon as they are terminated to re- turn to San Francisco and resume his law practice.
 Having at one time been attorney general for the territory, beside prac- ticing law here, Heney is we'll known in all parts of Arizona. As result of this Heney is strongly opposed to the jointure of Arizona and New Mexico.
 United States Attorney J. L. B. Alexander is in the city from Phoenix. He is here conferring with J. M. O'Rourke, who is the contractor for the Tonto dam project, and with c. G. Young, who has charge of the Yuma dam. It is understood that the confer ence has been held for the purpose of arriving at an understanding with regard to the eight hour law. J. G. White & Co.,, who are doing work at Yuma, have been held to the grand jury for violating this law, and Mir. Alexander has served notice that any other contractors who work their men more than eight hours per day on gov ernment work will be prosecuted, - Tucson Citizen,

HIGH METAL ALL SUMMER
Stanton Does Not Look for Copper
 Down to I7 l-2 Till Years End

John Stanton, in his first talk of the year about the condition of copper and the outlook says to The Boston Journal
 Producers of copper are mostly sold out up to May. The outlook for 1906 is very good. Prices must ultimately recede from their present levels, but l doubt if a l7a cent market will be seen much, if any, before the end of 1906. The coming twelve months promises to be the largest copper consuming period ever known in this country"
 The Boston representatives of the large lake producing properties are all agreed with Mir. Stanton in this opti- mistic opinion. They go still further in asserting that, despite the fact con- sumption being at present well main tained and, indeed, showing a steady increase, the production for the cur rent year is not likely to increase as much over 1905 as did that of 1905 over 1901.
 Present supplies of spot stocks in England aggregate only about 5000 tons, while in this country the market is almost entirely bare of copper for immediate delivery. Consumers, on the other hand, are still short of sup plies, and any increase in demand would result in further sharp advance in the price of the metal Under the circumstances, it certainly looks, as they view the situation, as if the pres ent strength of the market would be maintained for an indefinite period.

THE MINE TAX CASE DECISION

SOntrdry to cApcStdtioh NhS tShiitoi- ial supreme court handed down it's de- cision on Saturday last in the so called mine tax cases. The result is as badly mixed as were opinions of the board of equalization and the attorneys for mine owners. Attorney Herring, for the Copper Queen and other mining com panies, made plea for a writ of cer- tiorari compelling revival of the action of the board of equalization. This was denied by the court, Judges Kent, Nave and Sloan upholding the principal that the territorial board of equalization has the right to raise the valuation set by the various county as- sessors. Judges Doan and Campbell demurred and Attorney Herring gave notice of appeal to the United States supreme court from the decision of the majority of the territorial supreme bench.
 The writ of mandate applied for by the attorney general to compel sYava- pal and other counties to place the in creased assessments ordered by the board on all patented mines was denied by the court which held that, while the board had the right to increase the tax levy, it had erred in method by not making a uniform basis of valuation in all the counties-the plain prerogative and duty of the territorial board of equalization.
 This means, in short, that no taxes can be collected on the increased assessments ordered by the board for last year on patented mines. Gila county swallowed the whole dose pre- scribed, and piled on the increase ordered by the board on advice direct from the attorney-general.
 Result: We are not first-class county and must retire again to the third rank. Salaries of officials will be as before the dream advance came and a refund must be made by those who got the raise at the last meeting of the supervisors. The low tax-rate will not produce enough revenue on the valuation which now comes into effect, and Gila county will be heavy bor- rower before the current fiscal year ends. The ''insurgent" counties are now elated because they stood out and refused to take Dr. Kibbey's medi- cine.
 One point of importance will now be settled in the court of last resort: If the territorial board has any power to increase property valuations, has it the to do so for any other purpose than right to increase territorial revenues? While this point did not come before the court in that direct fashion, the matter was made the subject of frequent allusion and the supreme court of the United States will doubtless rub upon this phase of the case.
 Attorney-General Clark gave notice of his intention to appeal from the courts decision in the mandamus case but afterward changed his mind, ''the Territory being satisfied with it's vim dication @ of the alleged principal in- volved in the contention. Evidently "the Territory" is more easily satisfied than an individual would have been.

THE REACTION HAS COME

There have been few men in public life in the United States who enjoyed the popularity continuously for so long a period as has President Roosevelt. The American people are nothing if not hero worshippers, and Mir. Roose- velt's unique personality and aggres- sive spirit have appealed to the large class of minimizing people who are blinded by the glamour surrounding a high public official who assumes the role of dictator, and is surrounded by a horde of subservient office holders and self-seeking politicians to sound his praises.
 Mir Roosevelt's success in domina ing his party and shaping it's policy has been so great that his self-esteem has been inordinately swelled, and his judg- ment so warped as to influence him to attempt to usurp the legislative and judicial functions of the government and bring him inevitably into conflict with the congress and interests in the political and business world whose influence is always to be reck- oned with.
 It is not surprising, therefore, to learn of the present strained relations between the president and congress and of a revolt against the administration s legislative program. MT. Roosevelt has not measured up to the high stand ard to which he was assigned by his political henchman and party organs
 There were portends of political storm at Washington soon after con gress assembled, and now it has be- come most formidable reality. The attempt to coerce congress into doing the bidding of the president in enacting important legislation, has aroused strong opposition in both houses. As a member of the house is reported to have said to Mir. Cannon: '1f we are to vote under orders the people may as well be saved the cost of our mileage to Washington. It is bad enough when speaker decides what measures shall come to vote, and-in a pinch who shall be heard upon the floor. But when, as in the statehood matter or Philippine tariff or the railroad rate bill, members are required to take their cue from the White House or the speakers desk, they may well ask: What are we here for?"
 Comparing the present situation with that which existed at the opening of congress-" says the correspondent of the Springfield Republican, Washing ton as it is today cannot be better described than as an anvil chorus. , The knockers are working overtime in the apparent effort to balance past years of presidential adulaton. Men who have returned to the capital after few weeks absence are 'dumfound- ed at the change" |" Speaking of the insurgents, this observer says: "Mr. Roosevelt is openly using every effort to whip them into line. If he succeeds, well and good-for the present. but for the future the pendulum seems clearly swinging back from the execu- tive domination over congress which President Roosevelt has developed, and which is so foreign to the principles of the constitution.

Arizona's wonderful record in the production of copper is attracting wide attention, and capital from all sections of the country is seeking investment in our mines. In proportion to the num- Der of producing mines, Arizona pro- perties have greater proportion of dividend-payers than any other state. They declared nearly $lO,OOO, ,OOO in dividends last year, and should do even better this year.

POVERTY AND PAUPERISM.

Destitute I'm America Said to Num-
Der Ten Millions.
Poverty and pauperism have been
studied by a hose of sociologists and
there is an immense literature upon the
subject. The most recent book, and.
in many respects, the most noteworthy,
is the one written by Robert Hunter,
who for many years has been a practi-
cal worker among the submerged tenth,
says American Medicine. He defines
poverty as the condition in which 1t is
not possible to obtain those necessaries
which will permit the maintenance Of
a state of physical efficiency.
He also makes the astounding state
ment that there are 100000 people
in poverty In the United States alone
one in every eight. Charles Booth cal
culates that 80 per cent Of London's
population, or ] 100000 people, are in
poverty, and that the rate in smaller
Labor in London") so that the phe-
nomenon Is apparently universal, the
lower the civilization the greater the
percentage Of the poor.
For many reasons the whole matter
is of vital interest to the medical pro-
fession. In the first place, such a con-
dition of affairs is a serious objection
to the new idea that our national diet
ary Is too big-one-eighth Of us never
get enough. The racial deterioration
and individual degeneration which
must result in such condition Of growth
of children is matter for serious
thought In the next place, when any
Of the poor people become i'll, the bur-
den of work falls on the doctor, who,
more than any other person in the
world. is expected to give assistance
without money and without price.
Hunter makes a great distinction be-
tween these poor and the paupers, who
expect and depend upon more or less
assistance even when they are well.
He estimates that there are 100000
paupers in the country; 100000 men
are unemployed four to six months ev-
cry year and cannot get work over
100000 children must work to help
support the family, and about $780,
coo women must work, of whom 2,O0O,-
coo are employed in factories Over
one-fourth of New York's people get
some kind of public or private relief
every year, and yet it is often impos-
sible TO get domestics for love or
money.

The fact that so few people were killed
is accounted for by the fact that prac-
tically all houses were equipped with
storm cellars and the people ran to them
as soon as they saw the tornado APP
preaching. Those who had no storm
cellars or who could not reach them
were the ones who suffered.
Last winter many lives were lost in the
