Mohave County miner., 1906-07-14

The board of equalization of this county was in session the first of the week and made many important changes in the assessment roll. All improvements in Kingman were given a horizontal raize of ten per cent, while several mines were also boosted. Stocks of goods were also given a greater value. It is expected that the raises. will amount to a number of thousand dollars. The board is work ing along the right lines and if the good work is kept up within a few years it will get the taxpayers in the habit of putting in an assessment that will stand their scrutiny.

Mohave County miner., 1906-07-14

Ex-Mayor Haynes, of Minneapolis, Minn., was in Kingman several days this week. He is interested in the ventures of the Minnesota-Arizo Gold mining company in this county and is here looking after its affairs. He stated that sentiment in his state was drifting toward Bryan for presi- dent in 1908 and if nothing transpired to check the movement he would sweep the state in the election. The recent revelations of fraud and cor ruption in every branch of govern ment, the lothesome details of the stockyard investigation, the insurance gratis and centralization of wealth was surely creating a change in the voting sentiment of the people. Mir. Haynes will remain in this county some time looking after the affairs of his company.

On the first day of his speech in
the senate, Mr.. LaFollette noticed
that some of his colleagues had left
the chamber. He defied all precedents
by commenting on the fact. He had
the audacity to say that if his fellow
statesmen would not listen to him,
the public would do 40 and that the
absentees presently might find them-
selves obliged to be absent permanent
ly. At 1.-THE close OF his address he
went further, practically assuring the
senate that if it did not like the at
tacks OF reformers and exposers ID
should keep it's record free from re-
proach. The fact that after this un-
paralleled exhibition OF contumelious-
ness the Wisconsin senator remains
alive and in fighting trim, is sug-
gestive if not inspiring. Notwith-
standing the blows to senatorial cour-
tesy the senane walls did not fall or
the ceiling drop. The object lesson
thus afforded may prove highly USE
full later on in case other senators
who care less for tradition than for
peoples welfare, take advantage OF
the precedent established by Mr.. La.
Toilette.

That there is very little doing in

must not be taken as sign that the
local managers will not be ON hand
with a healthy fight when the proper
time arrives. Many people have ex-
pressed themselves on behalf of short
and sharp campaigns and we believe
that . majority Of the voters will ex-
press themselves in favor of the Re-
publican nominees next fall just as
surely if the county convention is
held after harvest as if it were held
now and considerable unnecessary
