WHAT ABOUT

parties, from the governor down, have

papers of the territory have pointed
out and shown that Arizona is equal
70 New Mexico in every qualification
for statehood. The number of our
inhabitants may not count as many
as in our sister territory. but on the
other hand the intelligence of our
citizenship is acknowledged to be. far
superior, while the wealth of Arizona
is about double that of New Mexico.
But aside from what has been said by
the press of the territory practically
nothing has been done which would
indicate that Arizona wanted or ex-
pected statehood at the present time.
When Governor Kibbey returned to
Phoenix from his steamboat visit to

to secure that which Roosevelt was
reported to be in favor Of

cocHisE COUNTY
ASSESSMENT

The grand jury of Cochise coun-
ty at its recent session made a recon-
mendation favoring a law in Arizona
providing for the election of county
assessors in this territory. Under
the present law The assessor is APP
pointed by the board of supervisors.
We believe the assessors should be
elected by the people. This was the
law formerly in Arizona and it is to
be hoped that the next legislature
viii re-enact the old law which was
satisfactory and very much more so
than the present one.
When the law was passed making
the office of county assessor appoin-
tive instead of elective the principal
argument advanced for making the
change that it would remove the Of
fee of assessor from politics, make
him more independent and thus Sc
cure better results.
But in Cochise county the assessor
was appointed as result of a politi-
cal deal by which the assessors Of
fee went to a democrat and the of
fee of clerk of the board of super
yisors to a republican. So far as
we know the clerk of the board has
discharged his duties satisfactorily
to the people. but anyone who merely
-r-ifsrsHsd 70 ccr1nnsnrs unr1ffrss= vffss.-4ss
cent tax-paying season would not
question the fact that the work of the
assessor and his deputies has been
far from satisfactory The valuations
placed on much of the property was
away above what it should have been
and above like valuations in other
counties of the territory. Notwith-
standing the fact that it was known
that the total assessment of Cochise
county would be increased something
like $4,000, 900 under the new law for
taxing mining property and notwith-
standing the legislature fixed a % per
cent basis for taxing the product of
the mines, the local assessor insisted
that commercial property and real
estate should be assessed a much
higher rate than it had ever been
before. One result of this action of
the assessor has been TO cause the
property owners of cochise county
TO pay much more than their just pro-
portion of the territorial tax The to-
tai tax ratein Cochise county was low
cred this year to 81 as against a rate
of s265 for 1906. still the individual
tax bills on practically the same
property has run almost universally
higher for this year than last and the
delinquented tax roll is the largest.
we believe, in the history of the
county.
Whether the unwarranted high as
sessment of the property of cochise
county was made because the assess
or felt that he was independent of the
people We. cannot say. but Of one
thing we feel certain and that is that
the people would prefer TO elect a
county assessor. as other officials are

that there should he and there is

fact that I'm something like l,40o votes
in this city the organization has dwin-
died away until there only remains to-
day membership OF less than 200
eligible to vote in party caucuses and
other party gatherings"
Mr. Spellman assures the Rutland
public that personally he seeks no
