The Guardians subscription list
has grown so rapidly during the
past year and has now reached
such proportions that we would
be justified in advancing the price
of advertising, and still be giving
our patrons more than their
moneys worth, in fact, with our
wide circulation, if we should
double our price, our advertisers
would then receive more for the
money expended than they now
do through the other local papers
at their present prices, Our cir,
culation is not based on a dozen
readers to each paper but is based
on actual and legally bonafide
numbers, which our advertisers
are invited to investigate by calling
at the office on any press day and
inspecting. As sabove stated we are
justified in advancing the price of
advertising space, but this we have
no intention of doing for at least
another year except in cases of
spasmodic advertisers. Constant
advertisers will receive the same
rate as heretofore, but any one ad-
vertising for period of less than
three months at a time will be
charged 2 IL cents more per inch
for all display advertising than has
been charged heretofore,

WOULDN'T THAT JAR YOU2

In commenting on the mining
case decision, the Morencl Leader
says:
awhile this does not mean that
the assessment of mines cannot be
raised, it requires that all assess.
ments shall be equalized, and the
different companies throughout the
territory shall be assessed IN a
rational manner, and not made to
close down their works because of
some foolish idea of an overzealous
official, that they should stand
more of the burden Of taxa
tion than do other interests equal
ly productive. The assessor Of
Graham county undertook to say
that the mining companies should
bear a greater burden of taxes than
were already borne by them, and
bis indignation know no bounds
when tho district attorney refused
to advise the supervisors that his
position was correct. The assessor
does occasionally have some pc
cullar idea of the fitness and just
ness of things, but like other hu
man beings, he is sometimes at
fault"
Now, wouldn't that jar you!
Here is the first paper, or person,
who has had the nerve to say that
the mining companies of this
county were assessed higher in
proportion than other interests of
the county The editor of the
Leader knows that the Detroit
Copper company, which be repre-
sents, returned an amount, as its
full valuation for taxation, less
than would purchase its supplies
and merchandise carried. The

Some Experiments

For three or four years the
United States department of agri-
culture at Washington has been
making investigations on the
adoption of different varieties of
deciduous fruits to different cli-
mates throughout the United
States; but Arizona has never been
included in these Investigations.
Arizona is, however, of sufficient
importance as fruit growing
region to be included and certainly
our climatic conditions are peculiar
enough to deserve individual study.
Hence the territorial experiment
station has made arrangements to
have these Investigations under
taken at Phoenix.
In order properly to cover the
territory there should be several
observers in each fruit growing
district. Printed blanks are sup
piled from Washington on which
are entered In tabulated form (D
variety, (2) age of tree, (9) date
first bloom, "a date full bloom, (5)
date leaf buds begin to open, co.
date terminal buds form, Cd date
of picking, (s) size of crop, (9)
date fit for use, (l0) how long the
variety keeps. Any fruit grower
who would take interest In making
observations of this kind is invited
to correspond with V. A. Clark,
horticulturist of the experiment
station farm at Phoenix. Arizona
can make a showing of her fruit
growing possibilities that she can
well be proud OF and for her own
good she ought to do it.

assessor of this county is as liable
to be at fault as any other human
being, but IN this instance he was
not, fact that he convinced the
territorial board of, and is able to
convince any fair minded man or
set of men of. There is not an IN
terest in the territory that has paid
as small tax, save perhaps the
railroads, as has the mining in
dustry.
Proceeding in the same editorial
the Leader says again;
"The mining companies of Gra-
ham county have at all times been
willing to contribute their just
proportion of taxes to the county
treasury, but when an effort is
made to place an unequal burden
upon them, they naturally resist.
When the farming interests Of this
county come to the understanding
that the mining industry has no
intention of injuring them, and in
stead are only too willing to co.
operate with them to mutual bene-
fit, then, and not till then, will this
misnamed valley and mountain
controversy be done away with"
Wouldn't that jar you, also? 1t
may be true that the companies
have always been willing to con-
tribute their just proportion of the
taxes, but the fact is they have
never done so, nor do we believe
they will until they are compelled
to.
1t may be true that the mining
industry has no intention of in
iuring the farming interests and
are willing TO cooperate with the
farmers for mutual benefit, but the
fact still remains that it has been
injuring the farms for the past ten
years and is today doing thousands
of dollars of injury every month
to the cultivated land of this valley
by dumping the tailings from the
mills into the river. 1t is amazing
that sensible editor would pub
lisb such ridiculous nonsense.
The GUARDIAN is not a sectional
paper. Ii is desirous of seeing the
entire county prosper, but when
powerful corporations will deliber
ately evade their just taxes and
lnjure their neighbors,it will always
be found deuouncing such acts and
defending those injured. If the
other papers of the county would
join the GUARDIAN in it's efforts it
would not be long until such
wrongs would cease to exist and
our county become ten times more
prosperous, Come, boys, throw

RAMPANT ANARCHY

A few days ago, says the Santa
Fe Neto Merican, a meeting OF
anarchists was held in Chicago,
ostensibly TO commemorate the st.
Petersburg massacre, but really to
denounce all forms of government,
indlscrimlnately. The women, and
large numbers of them were there,
wore red belts and sashes, the men
red badges. The banners carried
in parade numbering 1000 were
OF the same ensanguined hue.
Thomas Morgan, the chairman,
stated that the money collected at
the meeting would be sent to
Russia, to publish revolutionary
literature and if necessary to buy
dynamite. AT that word rush
was made for the red flags and
they were waved enthusiastically
over the heads of the bowling mob
A man named Seymour said in a
speech "When coarse brute,
Sergius, was killed, the King of
Italy sent a letter of regret. King
Edward sent u letter, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent n let, the
sentence was never finished, the
speakers words were drowned in
storm Of Kisses and angry yells
at the name of Roosevelt. Mark
you, il was not the names of the
Kings of Italy or England that
were hissed, it was the name of the
lawfully elected President of the
United States. The speaker con-
tinucd: "Roosevtlt did not elect
himself by divine right, you are
Kissing the men who elected him."
then the hisses became intensified.
Thus these mad tanatIcs hlssed
every man who voted for Mr..
Roosevelt, not because he is a
republican, they would have hlssed
as venemously if be were demo
crat, it was the Office they hissed.
Then the speaker sbouted "He,
the president, has not the power
OF a cheap prize fighter, Chicago
will find, some day, the revolution
as rife here as in Russia" A. M.
Simmons, the editor of the Social.
ist organ said: "Let us cast aside
all mastership, tonight the battle
RACES fercest in Russia, soon we
will have 1t here" Just so, and
while these lawless men and
women are invoking revolution
against the government of the
United States, the people stolidly
ignore the danger, and by doing
so invite il. 1t is out OF just such
meetings that crazy murderers go
forth to assassipate king or
president, they care not which.
"Ob, the shame of it! Women,
yea, mothers, with babies in their
arms, were among the widest APP
plauders of the threatened use of
dynamite. These un-sexed Great
ures' are of the same class as the
petroleuses, who set fire to Paris,
when the Prussians were lombard
ing their own houses and they
would be us wicked incendiaries
in America, which foolishly gives
them bread and homes and pro-
lection.

The territorial board Of equali-
cation of New Mexico has just
adjourned. Before doing so they
raised all the railroads of the ter
ritory l096. If our own territor-
ial board will put the railroads OF
this territory up even with New
Mexico, that coupled with the
raise the mining corporations are
sure to get, would place property
values somewhere near equal. We
think that now our board have
their hands in they will not hesi
tate to give all the wealthy con-
Germs the proper elevation so as to
place them on an equality with
their less fortunate neIghbors,
Graham guardian., 1906-02-02

That it is the intention of the
territorial board of equalization to
distribute the burden of taxation
equally and compel the big tax
dodgers to pay their proportion is
plainly shown by the fact
that the auditor summoned the
assessors of the territory to a
meeting IN Phoenix on Feb, lst, to
discuss the matter of taxation and
arrive at an agreement so that the
assessment of the different counties
will not need 10 be interferred with
by the territorial board. 1t is to
be hoped that the assessors will
do their duty this year by rich and
poor alike.

Grazing on the Mount Graham
Forest Reserve
To Stockmen:

To Stockmen:
Provision has been made for the
grazing of $500 head of cattle and
horses, and 1000 head of goats in
the Mount Graham Forest Reserve
during tho season of 1906.
The summer grazing season for
cattle and horses will be from
March /, to October 3lst, the
charge for which will be 25c per
head. Glass "a" stock will be al.
lowed the year,long season, March
l, 1906 to February 28, 1907, the
charge for which will be 35c per
head. The one half rate limit
number is rs head, and applies to
cattle only. This means that u
person who is given a permit for
70 head of cattle or less, and
number of horses will pay one
half rate on the cattle covered by
the permit and full rate on the
horses, and a person whose per
NIT is for more than rs head of
cattle will pay one-balf rate on rs
cattle and full rate on all stock
(cattle and borses) in excess of
that number.
Stock covered by permits which
expired December 81, 1905, and
for which yearly permits for 1906,
will be issued, may remain in the
reserve free of charge until March
l, as provided in Forest Reserve
Order No. %.
In calculating the number for
which permit will be required and
the amount to be paid for the pri-
vilege of grazing cattle or horses,
all animals six months old, and
over at the time of entering, will
be counted, but no charge will be
made for the calves or colts under
six months of age at the time of
entering, or for those born during
the year for which permit is grant
ed.
In case a permittee shall sell the
stock covered by permit to pur
chaser who wishes to continue
grazing it on the forest reserve,
upon presentation to the Forest
Supervisor of evidence that the
sale is bone fide, the permit will be
cancelled and new permit issued
to the purchaser, without cost, for
the remainder of the grazing pc
riOd allowed in the original per
NIT.
Such transfer, however, does not
carry with it any guarantee that
renewal will be allowed tor the
number of stock the original per-
mittee might have been entitled to
Craze, but is granted with the
understanding that the purchaser
will be considered solely upon the
merits of his case in subsequent
permit allotments. The goats will
be allowed in the reserve from
April 20, TO October 81, and the
charge will be Sc per head.
Each two kids under SIX months
old will be counted and paid for as
one grown goat, The
basis of increase to be
used in computing the number to
be applied for prior TO the birth Of
the kids is l0096.
All stock will be required to
not only to the quaran-
tine regulations of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, as heretofore,
but to all live stock laws of the
territory.
March is the date fixed after
which no applications for grazing |
permits will be received; therefore
it is desired that applications be
made at once, whether for the sum
mer season or for the entire graz.
