-As To RAILWAY rIMETARLEs.


The recent action of the railroad
companies in cutting OF all free trans
portation has met with almost univer.
sal approval. The great evils had
grown up in that connection. every
one at all conversant with the facts
knows. But the transportation fur
nlshed to newspapers for publishing
railway timetables, excursion notices,
etc., is an entirely different story. 1t
was announced that the railroads
would pay cash for all advertising in.
stead of giving mileage books and trip
passes for the same, as heretofore. 1t
now turns out, however, that the rail-
roads are planning to get good deal
for nothing by taking advantage of
the newspapers 1t is well known
fact that the people depend upon the
newspapers TO find out the schedule OF
the trains. When person desires to
go any place on the train, If he doesn't
remember just when the train is due,
he gets the paper and looks at the
timetable. The railroad companies,
under their new ruling, tell the news
papers to run the timetables Il they
so desire as news, but that there will
be no pay allowed for such service.
That seems like very brazen thing
for the companies to do, for surely
carrying a card showing the time Of
arrival and departure Of all trains is
an advertisement for the railroads.
However, It has been put on that basis
and the newspapers will get neither
transportation nor money for this
work. OF course, the papers cannot
afford to mistreat their patrons and
throw these time tables down, there.
fore, It is simply hold.up game on
the part Of tho railroads. Heretofore,
the relations existing between the
newspapers and the railroads have
been very cordial. The railroads were
courteous and kind to the papers and
the papers published great deal Of
complimentary matter for the rail.
roads. Space was often given simply
because Of these cordial relations, but
this latest slap in the face will not
likely make the editors of the State
feel any too kindly toward the man
ayers Of the railroads. And it will
probably transpIre before many
months that the editors Gun stand the
arrangement II the railroads can. It
is said to be better to have the good
will Of d dog than the i'll will and we
believe the same will hold with the
men who run the newspapers Of the
country.

invidious to Arizona, and clearly and impliedly attempt to deceive the people of both territories.
 The extent of the debt of New Mex ico is of no concern to us unless there should be joint statehood. If there should be joint statehood, then we of Arizona are directly interested in knowing what may be the amount of the debt not only of Arizona, but of New Mexico. that wauld have to be as sumed by the new state, and we are also interested in knowing in what proportion the two territories will have to contribute to the payment of those debts.
 It may be conceded, for the purpose of the argument, that the debt for which New Mexico, as a territory, is liable is as represented by the travel ing auditor of that territory namely, $741.335.61.
 The admitted bonded indebtedness of the counties of New Mexico is by the same authority, stated to be $2,S16,473.
 The travelling auditor of New Mexico does not include in his statement of the indebtedness of the counties of that territory the floating debts of those counties. such as outstanding militia warrants, of which there are large amounts. nor the repudiated bonds is sued to encourage railway cOnstruc- tiOn, which amount to sums that no of fcial authority has attempted to stant. Nor is there included in that official statement the bonded indebtedness oi cities, towns and school districts of New Mexico. That they aggregate great sums is easily demOnstrabIe.
 But let us ignore for the present the existence of any other public indebted ness of New Mexico than that set forth in the travelling auditors statement.
