is also quite likely that that official
will instruct the district attorney
of Cochise county to proceed
against the officials of the Copper
Queen and others" for perjury iu
returning their assessment at the
ridiculously low sum that they
have been doing. If the district
attorney fails to take the proper
steps then the attorney general
should do so himself Give those
officials something more to do than
to fight against tax levy that is
even now too low; let them show
to the world why they have not
paid their proper proportion of the
taxes.
Again the Enterprise says:
"The raise of the as sessments on

the assessed valuation of the

1t is ceatainly too bad that Co.

A DRY FARMING CONVENTION

Colorado is going to hold dry
farming convention. The press of
Colorado appreciate the large re-
suits which must come from dry
farming. The experiments which
have been made in that state has
convinced them that there are
more than one hundred million
acres of land which can never be
reached by irrigation which caL

ARIZONA AND new MEXICO

The logic of the New Mexico
and Arizona situation is plain and
simple. The hostility to union
of the two territories is a matter of
Inheritance and education, says the
Kansas City Journal. The whole
Union could be reduced to states
of uniform size or population with
undoubtcd benefit to all concerned
so far as mere convenience is con-
cerned But how would Vermont
ers like to be merged with New
Workers.? How would the people
of Maine like to be confused with
the people Of New Hampshire?
The feeling of state pride and state
love may be foolish, but it is there
and cannot be ignored. The peo-
of New Mexico are as much op-
posed to taking the name of Ari-
zona as those of Virginia would be
30 taking the name Of Kentucky.
The people of Arizona have fought
as noble a fight in state building
as was ever won in this country.
They have overcome difficulties of
the most stupendous character and
have brought INTO existence u COM
monwealth worthy to stand alone
for all time. They should be CIV
en- the fruits of their conquest, and
a full place in the great constella-
tion of states should in due time
be accorded to Arizona The same
is true Of New Mexico. There is
nothing particularly lovely or sat-
isfactory about so large state as
Texas. 1t is unwieldy and in
coherent. 1t would be better if it
were two states or three. Arizona
and New Mexico must each be a
state.

for Delegate to Congress
THE CONVENTIONS

Tomorrow the conventions OF
the three parties meet for the pur
pose of nominating their county
tickets. All three, no doubt, will
attempt to nominate men who
would administer the affairs of the
county in a way that would meet
the approval of the people. Those
who will be candidates for the
democratic and republican nomI
nations are pretty we'll known; so
far as is known the socialists have
no avowed candidates.
1t is we'll known that the repub.
licans will put forth every effort
this year to elect their ticket, or
at least a portion of it. They will
put the strongest men they can find
who are willing to take the risk
on their ticket, and will then
WELD the party lash numerically
to compel every republican to vote
the ticket.
The democrats being the domi.
nent party, cannot take it for
granted, with these facts staring
them 10 the face, that a nomina-
ton is equivalent to an election.
They must place men upon their
ticket in whom the people have
confidence, men who have the in
telligence, the honesty and the
nerve TO administer the county
government on honorable and
economical lines, without fear or
favor. Ifthe democrats nominate
this kind of ticket, it will be
elected from congressman to con

TROUBLE FOR TAX DODGERS

The Phoenix Enterprise, the
Phoenix organ of the mining COM
panies that were raised on their
assessment by the territorial board,
says that the Copper Queen COM
pany, with others, are preparing to
fight the raises made on their re-
turns by the territorial board in
courts.
The Enterprise says:
"The case will be made test
one and will not apply to any par
ticular piece of mining property,
but will cover every patented min
ing claim lr the country that was
affected by the raise so that the
owner of the small patented min.
ing claim, who is unable to get
into court aud fight the raise, will
be spared that expense and yet
have his rights looked after and
the right Of the board to raise the
value of his non.producing claim
assessed far above its actual value
settled"
We would like to see the in
dividuaI who believes for one
minute that the Copper Queen
company is going to all this ex-
pense for the benefit of the "owner
of the small patented mining
claim" Why does not the organ
of the Copper Queen come out
squarely and say that its company
does not propose to pay fair tax
as long as 1t can help it? The
owner of the small mining claim is
not complaining. And if he were
be has no complaint even with the
raise added TO his assessment. The
non producing mines Of COchise
county were assessed at SIS per
acre, or 500 per claim. With
40096 added to this, the amount of
the raise, these claims would only
be assessed at $500, just one half
what the same class Of property is
assessed at in Graham county, and
yet no owner OF non producing
claims here are complaining? Now,
why should the owner of small
mines in Cochise county complain?
Continuing the Enterprise says;
1.-THE action of the territorial
board this year was done in the
manner prescribed by Attorney
General Clark as he interpreted
the rulings made by the supreme
court in its decision IN the cases of
last year. 1t remains to be seen
whether bis views of the law will
stand or whether the attorneys for
the mining companies will be able
to knock him out again"

was better than his verbacity, declare
in a speech that the import tax upon
macaroni was a fine thing. (Remem-
Der that there was no import tax upon
it at that time,) The shrewd manu-
facturer knew there was none, but
the speakers argument defending
such a tax, struck home, and imme-
diarely the manufacturer began a
movement to secure such tax, as he
saw clearly that under Its protection"
the price of macaroni could be enor-
