EIlinwood vs. Ashurst

Public Examiner Foster recently made an examination of the offices of Yavapai county, and the Jour nal Miner at that time made public some of the recommendations which he had decided to make. His com plete report is herewith presented through the courtesy of District At torney Ellinwood, whose action is in sharp contrast to that of District Attorney Ashurst of Coconino coun- ty, who suppressed the document upon it's receipt, and has fatly re- fused to give it to the press of that county, although repeated requests have been made upon him for it.
 MT. Ellinwood was instrumental in securing the passage of the law creating the office of public exam finer, and he said last night that he believed in publicity being given to these reports, as it would serve to put public officials on their met tie, and make them more careful in the administration of their duties.
 MT. Fosters report is not severe upon the officials of this county, dealing principally with irregulari. ties, and not with fragrant or inten- tional offenses. It confirms in ev- cry detail the facts published by the Journal-Miner in its issue of December 2O.-Journal- Miner.

THE STATEHOOD QUESTION

Every effort has been, is being, and will be made to keep congress from annexing Arizona to New Mexico. The question has been threshed over so thoroughly and reasons given why the union would be detrimental to Arizona, that it seems no one but a fool, one who has purely personal interest. or one who is so prejudiced he will not listen to argument, could now be in favor. of the jointure. Ger tainly the people of Arizona do not want it, and as loyal American cit izens they have a right to be heard in the matter. We do not believe congress will sacrifice Arizona's interests, which are so vital to her, simply to gratify the whim of a Beveridge or for political reasons. At times there are men who rise above party interests. Are there enough in this congress to allow Arizona to retain the freedom she is enjoying at present. Let us hope SO. The usual formula before a marriage is: "If there are any who know of a reason why these two should not be joined together let him speak now or forever hold his peace" And every citizen oi Arizona gives his reasons. When the bride and all her people object it is time to call halt in the mar riage ceremony.

THE COUNTY PRINTING

The old saying that "silence is golden" was never more fully ex- emplified than it was last week when the board of supervisors awarded the printing and publish ing contract for this year to the Coconino Sun, which has had never word to say in it's columns about county affairs. The board took pains to state that they wanted lump bids submitted on the work for the year 1906, in addition to an itemized bid. In justice to itself the NEWS desires to inform the pub lie that despite the statement in the supervisors minutes that the Suns was the lowest and best bid, the NEWS and Sun bid exactly the same 80 we have been informed--on the lump bid-$12OO for the year. In the itemized bid, on certain things the Sun bid in excess of the NEWS, and vice versa. The NEWS has never asked favors of the board as a body, and never will. Neither will it keep still on matters that concern the public in order to get stand-in. The NEWS has space for sale, and still continues to sell some; but it has none for sale (either by using it or not using it) at price where we lose our self-esteem and the confidence of the public.

ASHURST AS DELEGATE
Reasons Given Why He Should
 Not Be Elected

The early bird catches the worm, and, of course, it is the early worm that gets caught. Some go out for wool and get shorn. Some go fish ing and find that they have been suckers. Some go hunting and get shot. And so it is in every walk of life, men find that the tables have been turned upon them and they are made to show up in the light and appear in the plight of some other fellow.
 Politics is no exception to this rule. We find by reading the say ings of the wild waves that Henry F. Ashurst of Coconino county is out for congress. Others are try ing to launch Thomas G. Norris of Prescott.
 We say advisedly that the cleo ton of either Ashurst or Norris would be a bad thing, for the req son that they are both corporation men and manifestly unfair to the working man.
 Ashurst was speaker of the house once. He was the youngest man who has ever held that position in Arizona. But while being the young est man in that position he made the biggest mistake that was ever made by any speaker of any house since the organization of the terri tory. During a very crucial mo- ment he yielded the chair to his colleague, MT. Adams, of Jerome, and the United Verde Copper Co. was given a victory over the rest of the territory. We say was given a victory. If the men who were fur nishing the sinews of war fo1 the United Verde campaign were asked they might be able to say that the victory was not given to them. It is barely possible that they paid a small price for it. Mr.. Ashurst knows, but he won't tell, inasmuch as it was a private matter which concerned the public only in it's pocketbook.
 Oh, no, boys, you can't boom Tom nor Henry. They are the early worms, not the early birds Martinez News Herald.

Petitions Come High

In the minutes of the board of supervisors in this issue will be found a claim of E. s. Clark against the county for one hundred and twenty-five dollars for professional service. Why should the taxpay yer be called on to pay for something when the district attorney is al- ready paid to do the legal business of the county?
 Why should attorneys residing outside of the county be employed to do work that belongs to the dis trict attorney, and work that any attorney in Arizona could perform work that any member of the board could perform.
 The action of the board in this matter reflects upon the compe- tency of the district attorney, and every lawyer in Coconino county. Not only this, but it is an attempt to take away from the tax payers something that is unjust and ille- gal to reward a resident of the county.-Flagstaff Gem.

Self.Explanatory

-Nk>'S'NO'y
 The following is taken from the Prescott Courier:
 Prescott, Jan. 8, 1906. Jas. R. Lowry, Sheriff of Yavapai County, Prescott, Arizona:
 Dear Sir-I have received letter from W. c. Foster, public exam iner, under date of Dec. 23, in which he says:
 "The matter of the collection of gambling licenses of $30 per month from the owners or lessees of the large slot machines, paying money instead of merchandise, which are numerously scattered throughout Yavapai county, is an important one.
 "While these machines clearly come within that part of the law covered by Par. 286S, Sec. 22, R. s. 1901, relating to the collection of licenses on gambling apparatus, no effort has been made during the past year by any Yavapai county official to enforce the collection of a license tax on slot machines.
 "An order should be immediately issued, directed to the proper off cials, with instructions to enforce the collection of this license tax without further delay"
 Therefore, in accordance with the directions of the public examiner, request that you forthwith en- force the collection of a gambling license of $30 a month from the owners or lessees of the large slot machines paying money instead of merchandise, which are now being operated in the county of Yavapai.
 Respectfully, E. E. FLEETWOOD,
 District Attorney.
