AS TO DIVIDING
 GRAHAM COUNTY.

Concerning the proposition to di- vide Graham county during the pres ent legislative session the Arizona Bulletin says:
 Plans for dividing Graham into two counties appear to be taking der- nite shape at last. It appears that a bill Is to be introduced in the legisla. ture near the end of the session pro yiding for such division with the pro vision that 1t is to be referred to the voters for endorsement. The new county is to be called Freemout and Clifton is to be the seat of govern ment. Whether 1t will require 9 ma jority or two-thirds vote to carry is not stated. neither is the probable time of holding such election an. nounced. An air of secrecy or apathy appears to attach to the whole pro ceedings. Should a majority vute be provided for it is quite probable that the prcposition would be endorsed by the voters, while with two-thirds vote the result would be doubtful. I; is said that the mining companies dc not look with great favor upon the change, fearing that the close proxim ity of the court would result in a horde of petty damage suits"

WAR SPEECHES

The orators in Cuba who are shout ing for release from the oppressor- that is from the United States-may really bring on trouble. It will not be the bushwhscking and hammock war there used to be, but our troops will shoot to disperse, capture, reform and deformn and very likely to kill When 1t comes to forcing our authority, we must do it with severity. We have been patient and diplomatic to the last point of toleration. If the Cubans do not like our Provisional Govern ment they will have to abide the real sort. They will accuse our Generals of cruelty and oppression, as they did weyIer; but if Weyler had been well supported by the Spanish Govern ment in. his cruelty" and "oppres- sion," we might never have been troubled wfzh responsibility for the island, Spanish officers told us what We might expect in Cuba. We didn't more than half believe what they said: but we know it now. The United States will restore and main tain order in Cuba. but the tenor of present information is that to achieve this desireaDle end the Cubans may have to be soundly licked just once-3

ROCKEFELLER AND EDUCATION.

For some ufne part America has on. joyed the distinction of having the greatest statesmen on earth. The ca. pacity of such men as Lincoln. Me. Kinley and Roosevelt Is freely ac- lnowledged everywhere, The late John Hay made a distinct new record fin the diE'omatic methods by which international relations are con. ducted. H
 Oar industries have jumped 10 q level where they overtop those of all other countries on the globe. We arc the greatest coal producer and the greatest Iron producer. We nave a long time been the greatest crop produc. CT. We now have the largest OK. ports and the largest oyer.sea com. merce. as we'll as the largest, inter nal commerce in the world. We have more money in general circulation per capita and in the gross. Our gov. ernment holds the largest treasure and our national wealth vastly over. tops that of any other nation on earth.
 In these last years we have won q new distinction in the largest bene- factions made by our rich men. says the Los Angeles Times. Three years ago 1t was freely commented upon in Europe when the tabulation of the greatest beenfactions of rich Ameri. cans in a single year was shown to foot up over SC0,O00,0 900.
 And now with the opening of this new year, in the very forefront of the new century. comes the much-ma. ligned although always wonderful John D. Rockefeller, with the largest single gift ever made in the history cf mankind for any public purpose Besides this. Mir. Rockefeller in re, cent years has given in a smaller do nations even larger sum. it Is said that his gifts for the cause of education, specific and general, in the last few years, would reach a to tai of $90,QO0OOO
 If iudIciously spent. this money from Rockefeller will do great deal in raising the standard of general in | telIigence, and that means raising the general standard of citizenship. When all objections to education have been written down, We revert inevitably to the conclusion gone before. that in a country like ours where a popular sovereignty is the basis of all govern ment, education can not be too gener- al nor intelligence too high Men and women may misuse their mental ac- quirements. as men and women use wealth, their own personal attractions and influences in a wrong way. But this misuse is never properly held to be any argument against the things themselves.

Says the Tucson Star: Tt is nov generally believed that thes high li- cense ordinance will not be repealed. The 5000 municipal license for Tue son will be allowed to stand. Some of the leading saloon men are con- ing to realize that a reduction of the license would be quickly followed by demand for a local option election, which would most likely carry if put to a vote of the people.

fhe passage at this session of the weedin Mine Tax Bill.
 Taking the last statistical figures at hand showing the mineral production for Arizona, the Weedin bin would return to the Territory from mining companies alone the tidy sum v, ai, proximately s493.00O This is moro money than Is at present being col lected in taxes from all classes oi property combined. Such bIl, as proposed by Councilman Weedin oi Pinal county. will do away with all litigation over the amount of taxes the mining companies shall pay. uu der the terms of the bill twenty-five per cent of the gross output Is taken as the basis of assessment for each year. Such law will immediately almost double every mining company ! taxes in the territory. and in some instances will increase the amount four or five fold. It places the taxa tlOn Oi hlnes III Lne hahaS oi NhS PSO pie, through their elected representa- lives in the legislature. It eliminates a one man Board of Equalization and that man appointed from Washington A one man power is not our ideal form of government, notwithstanding the fact that he may be as honest ant sincere as the day is long.
 The Weedin tax bill is perfectly plain and the amount of revenue ;t be derived from the same can easily be demonstrated Now is the oppor tune time to settle the mine taxation question and settle 1t right and th' indications are that the Weedin bil will be a law before the close of th' present session.

One of the most sigrficsnt signs of the great progress being made 1T Arizona ss the prosperity of the press. Every city or town has it's nevsDa- per or newspapers, and in nearly eV- cry instance they are credit to the community. The press of the terri tory is on a high plane, The stand ard has been gradually raised. The paid write-up, which is read only by the man who puts up the money was formerly prevalent.

Tne THREE CENT FARE.

The 2-eent fare bill al present pend, Ing before the Council of the Twenty. Fourth Legislature is measGse that has the endorsement of threa-tourtns to say the. least, of the people of Arr zona
 The Review has never belonged D that class of newspapers wont to sit up and howl" at everything and any thing in which the big corporations doing business in this territory were interested. We have not attempteu to follow in the footsteps of the polit- ical demagogue, who first holds his 'yawp." The big mining companies and railroad companies of Arizona have done wonders in the develop nent of the resources of Arizona and they will continue to do wonders. h. stead of trying to create the Impres- sion >that the people of Arizona are rabid socialists on the capital ques- ton the Review would prefer to have the investors of other states know that Arizona is disposed to give capi- tal invested in our midst a far anu square deal, but at the same time having t distinctly understood that the interests of the people of Arizona should at the same time be respected. The question before the Council at present is a very plain proposition to force the railroad companies doing business in Arizona to carry passen- gers between given points in the ter ritory at the rate of three cents per mile.
 Against this proposition the rail roads have attempted to show that such a bill would make 1t impossible for such railroads as the Fl Paso 6 Southwestern, Maricops & Phoenix. Gila Valley & Northern and Santa -Fe, Prescott & Phcsnix. to maintain their present efficient and accommodating passenger service at profit. Per haps that contention on the part of the railroads is true, but we note t1at the lobbyists at present doing Uusi- ness in Phoenix have failed to go into the freight earnings of these same raii- roads. h the event that there would be a small discrepancy in the passen- ger department. how about the big surplus in the freight departmea,? l' is an indispatable fact that never in the history of the west has the rail road business been in such a prosperous condition. Railroads finc themselves short of cars with whicf to haul the immense freight traiIi' and the earnings of the railroads wen never greater in this country than a The present writing.
 As pointed out ir the Review severa days ago. the railroads in AriNcH. are a. present hauling passengers a low as two and one half cents pc mile. A great many passengers rid for three cents per mile and at tn rapid rate Arizona is growing VI venture the assertion that with ger eral three cent fare in force the Da ance sheet at the close of 1907 vii show very little. if any difference i the passenger department earnings while the freight department earning should be the best on' record
