His Demise Occurred On Sunday At
 Chicago
Deceased Was a Man Of Fine Traits Of
 Character
(From Tuesday's Daily.)

Yesterday attorney R. F.. MorriSo received telegraphic advice of N. death of Orrin F. Place on Sund,, morning at 5 o'clock at the residepc of relative in Chicago. The deceased was v years of age, and native of New York. The immediate cause of death was paralysis. Last Decemb,, while in Chicago on mining busines he was stricken down with the dread disease, but had so fully recovered i, June that he made arrangements for ' visit to California, when, while wind. ing his watch in his room he was ap,i, stricken. and falling to the floor, brol, his left hip on the paralyzed side.
 He afterwards rallied for a tim. until three weeks ago, when he fell s,o n comatose condition, since which tim. he has been absolutely helpless. Ia this condition Mir. Morrison saw iin n short time ago, when he called on him in Chicago on his return from th. east.
 Mir. Place lived in this county for number of years. enjoying the respe,. and confidence of the entire comm nity. He was the first to foresee th. great future possibilities of the CrOwa King mine, and it was mainly due to his efforts that 1t was developed int, the valuable property that 1t now t. At the time of his death he was hear. fly interested in other mining corpon. tions, owning valuable properties is the Bradshaw mountains, snd the ne~s of his decease will he received win regret in the Crown King country . we'll as here, where his sterling wonh and business integrity are well known to all.

RAINFALL WAS GENERAL ALONG
 SANTA FEE LINES.

From passengers who arrived here late last evening on the southbound, it was learned that the heavy rain which prevailed in this city last night until an early hour this morning was general along the railroad lines in northern Arizona.
 The precipitation was heavy around Peach Springs, but the greatest fall noticed was between Ash Fork and Cedar Glade. where all the creeks and streams were swollen and in some places overfiowing their hanks.
 No washouts were reported along the railroad, so it is believed that no damage 10 property resulted from th" storm, which was not attended by either electric disturbance or heavy winds.

NEW WORKERS THROWN FROM
 CARS INTO THE STREET.

The story of the street railway riots in New York Sunday reads like Russia. One woman was fatally hurt, another wounded, and countless persons were bruised and battered Inspectors for the street ear company "dragged pas scngers from the ears and threw them into the streets by thousands.' That is not strange in New York, perhaps, but it would sound queer in the United States.
 There is dispute over the right of the street railway to charge ten cents for the ride to Coney Island. Justice Gaynor was quoted in the newspapers as having said that the company had no right to charge more than five cents. The people refused to pay the extra 1 nickel. and the ear service was tied up for 2I hours, with continuous riot. ing along all the main lines of travel. President Colcr of the borough of Brooklyn-a village of 1,500,000 in babitants--was among those thrown of, and he addressed the crowd, and told them to refuse to pay over five cents.
 It looks as if the people had begun to assert their supreme ownership of the highways. which they have leased to private companies on certain con. 4 ditions. The street car company has ideas of it's own about the conditions hut the Sunday riot indicate the wide prevaleney of the idea that the com mon ordinary people have some rights even in the ears of the rapid transit company. and that the company is a, well able as the people arc to stant the loss of the $5O,OOO ar so a week in volved in the dispute. Nobody has sait anything about the company returnin, the overchargc in case the courts de eide against it, and it looks as if th' company will have to carry the people for five cents or face another war.

ARIZONA PARTIES DIVIDE
 ON TAXATION QUESTION
(El Paso Herald.)

(El Paso Herald.)
 It looks as if the two parties in Ari. zona will sharply divide on the taxa. ton question. The Democrats, in some counties at least, oppose Governor Kibbey's policy of increasing the tax assessments on the great mining pro. perties, and oppose the territorial board of equalization, which is designed to remove inequalities in tax valuation among the various counties. The Re. publieans are taking a firm stand for "just distribution of the burdens of .taxation," by which is understood q revised rating of the big mines, and m increase all along the line So as Co permit n lowering of the general tax rate.
 Governor Kibbey says this issue ov. ershadows joint statehood for the reas. on that the statehood fight is settled, so far as Arizona is concerned, while the fight over taxation will not be settled until after another general election. The Democratic party is often inclined to tax capitalists and corporations to m extreme degree with n view, as Democrats claim to Tightening the burdens on wage earn CTS and small producers. The Repub' licnns, on the other hand, are often charged by their political opponents with having Jennings toward the "plutocrats." But in Arizona the Re publicans claim to be standing for "the masses" while the Democrats wish, apparently. to exempt large part of the productive values of the territory from taxation.
 Whatever happens. joint statehood will almost certainly he killel, fo, both parties are uncompromisingly op posed to it.

It has not been agreeable work, as he has been savagcly assaileJ by the servile friends of the great copper interests, as well as by every opponent of his administra- ,ion. X determined effort has been made. also, Co create misunderstand- ing of his purposes by the public. Now. however, the great benefits of his efforts are SO apparent and sub stantial that the public can no longer be iahuenccd by q distortion of facts and public sentiment. thoroughly arous ed and cordially in sympathy with the administration, will brook no swervinp from his policy. The big mines and the railroads must pay their taxes.
 It is fortunate for the citizens of Arizona that if has as it's executive of iicer man possessing such keen sense of justice, high conscientious principles and frmness of purpose a' that of Governor Kibbey; and non' the less deserving of praise are th' members of the territorial board oi equalization and Attorney Genera Clark. who have staunchly supported him in his policy of making the ricl share, equally with the poor, the bur'l ems of taxation.

uNDuLY SENSITIVE.

When County Assessor Sullivan made the assertion that the editorial in the Journal Miner on Friday morning was written by Attorney. General Clark he made wild guess. The data, at the request of the editor of the Journal. Miner, was supplied by Mir. Clark, and that is as far as it went. Even had Mir. Clark been the author of the editorial, it would have been no crime. The abso- iute and undeniablc facts were stated, and they apparently hit Mir. Sullivan in n tender spot. Otherwise, why should he be impelled to rush into print! We are not disposed to censure Mir. Sul- hvan. He is the creature of a Demo. cratic board of supervisors, and hence is restricted in his actions. At one time he did raise the assessment of the United Verde, company, hut the Demo. cratic board unfeelingly sat down upon him. That taught him a lesson, and since that time he has let the United Verde put in whatever assessment it saw ft. Mfr. Sullivan admits this him. self in an address which he recently published. The Journal. Miner cdi. torial east no reflections upon Mir. Sulli. van. It was aimed at the assessor of Cochise county, and the supervisors of the counties in the southern part of the territory. If Mir. Sullivan has acted conscientiously, why should he be SUI persensitive unless it be that his con. science hurts him for his lereliction of dutyi
 Why did he not do like Assessor Bird. no of Graham county, who de6ed the board of supervisors, and eventually forced the big corporations to put in n fair assessmenti There is no reason why Assessor Sullivan could not have done the same thing, had he not been afraid of losing his job, and conse quently did he not evinee a weakening of the spinal columni
 All the big corporations of Yavapa county are against the Journal. Miner but that does not in the least alter thi, journals policy of standing up an' fighting for the rights of the taxpayer and the people at large. Where ar' the papers of Prescott that have bec' subservient to the predatory corpora tionsf Either out of existence, o with one foot in the journalistic grave
 yard!
 , Assessor Sullivan started in to d. . what was right, but he met with one re , bun, and got cold feet. He says s , himself. Therefore his opinions an | criticisms of the Journal Miner hay ' little if any weight.

GOVERNOR KIBBEY's POLICY
 BEARS SPLENDID FRUIT.

The policy adopted last year by Gov. Kibbey and the territorial board of equalization regarding the taxation of mines has resulted in splendid success. The aggregate assessment of the ter. ritory has been increased from $ls,' 100000 in 1905 10 about $63,0o0,00O in 1906. or sI5,000,000 in a single year. A very large proportion of this increase is upon patented mines and improve ments.
 Such an accomplishment is unpreced. ented in the history of Arizona, and it is all unquestionably due to the resolute and unyielding determination of Gov. Kibbey to equalize the burdens of tax ation. And the most gratifying feat. ure of this admirable work is. that the oppressive weight of taxation is to a largo extent lifted from the people generally, and distributed among those who ought in equity and justice to bear it, and who, for the most part, have been for years escaping their just pro. portion of tares. In Yavapai county the tax rate this year will be reduced from per cent to 3, a most welcome relief to the suffering taxpayers of the county. This means that the taxes of the public generally will he reduced just one.fourth, and that the difference will be borne by the larger taxpayers, who cannot even yet contend that they are being overtaxed.
 Neither has the small mine owner been injured, as the enemies of the ad. ministration have SO strenuously claim ed that he would he. In Yavapai county, at least, the reduction in the tax rate has exactly balanced the raise in valuation ordered by the territorial board, so that even though the raise was effective for county as we'll as for territorial purposes, the small mine owner would pay precisely the same amount that he paid last year. If however, the raise is effective only foI territorial purposes and this is still ar open questionable will actually pa, considerably less in taxes on the sam, property than he did last year. An, next year he will pay still less, as th valuations of the great producers ar certain to be increased more next yea by the local officers than it was thi year. Public sentiment has reache such s point in Arizona that the larg copper producers can no longer shif their burdens of taxation to the poore taxpayers, and any public servants wh undertake to defy this sentiment wi soon and severely learn it's strength.
 lt may possibly be that in Cochis and one or two other counties th smaller mine owners may for this yes be called upon to ray more than the paid last year. But this is not at a the fault of the territorial board ( equalization. lt is rather who'll
 due to the failure of the local of6eel to perform their duties.
 If the small mine owner has bee assessed, for instance, in Coehi'

Editorial Comment

county for all his claims are worth, and such concerns as the Copper Queen have been assessed at one .fftieth of what they are worth, who is to blame The territorial board of equalization cannot raise or lower individual as- sessments. If it acts at all, it must raise or lower all the property in a given class. So that if it finds that patented mines in cochise county are assessed as a whole lower than in oth CT counties, it must, in order to equal. ize, raise all the mines in Cochise county.
 In doing this, of course, it reaches the big producers, but it also reaches many smaller mines that it would glad ly let alone. But because the local assessing officers have shielded the big ones and assessed the little fellows to the limit, the board is put to the disagreeable necessity of raising every. body. Then the cry goes up that the territorial board is iniuring the small mine owners. .-4sI an-
 This. of course. is not true, hut it is done solely for the purpose of blinding the-eyes of the public to the outrageous partiality shown the big interests by the assessors and local boards. If they had properly assessed the large inter. ests. there would have been nothing for the territorial board to do, but hav. ing failed to do So, thus compelling the territorial board to act, they seek to avoid the consequences of their own culpability by maudlin manifestation of sympathy for the small mine owner.
 1t is remarkable that the assessors and boards of supervisors do not show any concern for the small mine owner until the territorial board is about to sit. That is, after the assessor has [" soaked" tho little fellow to the limit. and has let the big fellows oh with an assessment so low that it almost para. lyzes the recording angel, if not the devil himself, he suddenly conceives an anxiety that the territorial board is going to "hurt the little fellow. q There would be no need whatever of this apprehension if he had done hi, duty.
 And even though some small mins owners in neighboring counties pay in creased taxes this year. it will be mor than made up to them next year, and ir the years to follow. For the movement toward the proper equalization of tsxe
 will not halt until the great produe CTS of Arizona are paying the tsxe
 they ought to pay. Then the small min owner will come into his own. He vii
 pay less than half of his present tri
 bute, and no one will need to symps
 thize with him. Therefore, if he doe
 pay increased taxes for one year,
 will be the best investment he eve made, for it will compel the large min
 owner to commence paying on m ir
 creased valuation that will never D lowered while bis own will bs.
 Thus Governor Kibbey has scesn n plished more for the territory in thl . single feature of bic admisistratio
