NEW MEXICO ELECTION

During the campaign the Review | gave as a reason for objecting to a merger of Arizona Saads New Mexico | as one state, that the politics of New Mexico was rotten to the core and that Arizona joined to it would he politically prostituted and its civic liberty destroyed; that the votes Of the free American white men of Ari- zona would be run over by double the number of ignorant votes, and that designing politicians would graft our revenues, control our state affairs and waste the public moneys with the
 grossest of prodigality. That the
 Review was right in this belief Is
 borne out by the papers in the Larra-
 zolo-Andrews contest for delegate.
 These papers allege that the scene at
 the polls in that territory dehes de- i scription; that there were the most vicious intimidation by the republi- can politicians, the grossest frauds and the most open bribery and corrup- ton; that 1000 fraudulent votes were counted in Colfax county alone, and
 that the frauds extended to Bernalilo.
 San Miguel, Socorro, Torrance, Va lencia, Union, Grant end Guadalupe counties. The hot-bed of election of 1 fense was, of course, at the boxes
 where there were large numbers of Mexican voters. Anent these frauds,
 the LaTazolo papers say: ..-
 Tn a large number of the several
 precincts of the several counties in
 the said territory the judges and
 clerks of election so neglectly. incor- lrectIy and defectlyely kept and made
 the poll books, tally sheets, records,
 certificates and returns of said cleo tion as that therefrom in such pre-
 cincts TO fair, correct or reliable as,

 Deputy Sheriff Bill White, together with the clerk who owned the box, yesterday looked through all the Mexi- can resorts in Bisbee, Lowell, Bakers vile, Don Luis and other settlements in this vicinity. They were unable to get any trace of the Mexicans.
 Yesterday afternoon a rumor came from Osborn that the tin box had been seen there. Officer White and the clerk went to that place but could not find anyone who had seen it. It is be- lieyed the two Mexicans crossed the line into America as soon as they took the box. Officers are confident they will be able to catch them in a few days.

is objectionable and undemocratic.
 That the revenue laws of Arizona need revision is plainly apparent The revision is expected at the hands of the present legislature, but instead of continuing the present method where by the assessors must guess at the value of mining claims-and it is guesswork, nothing more or less again having a county board of equali- zation guess at the correctness of his returns, and finally have a one-man board determine the value of all min ing property in the territory, it would be better at this time to take advant- age of the opportunity presented for the passage of a bullion tax law for this territory based either upon the net or the gross output of the produc- ing mines. The ore or the bullion represents real values just the same as a stock of merchandise, and with such a law upon our statutes we shall have an end for all time of gross un- equal assessments and multitudious law suits.
 So long as Arizona remains terri tory it would not be very difficult matter for the officials and stockhold- CTS of the big mining companies in Arizona to control the appointment of governor for Arizona. As pointed out the territorial board of eQualiza- ton in Arizona is the governor him self. and while Governor Kibbey Is bent upon forcing the mining compan- ies to pay on a greater valuation Of their property, who can foretell what position the succeeding governor would take upon the question, espec- ially If his appointment had been se- cured through powerful eastern in- fuences holding a controlling interest in the great mining companies of the territory. -.s E.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

s Governor Kibbey's message to the ; Twenty-fourth Legislature, in the main, is good. It is plain and straight to the point or the several subjects dealt vifA and his recommendations against public gambling will be applauded by a great majority of the people Of the territory. - Governor Kibbey has gone into he financial condition of the territory in = thorough manner, and his recon -1endations at this time. urging legis- latiye action in advance to take care of the bonded indebtedness of the territory, without placing heavy load upon the taxpayers when the funded -debt becomes due, is an able sugges- stfon and should be carried out by the legislature.
 The most important part of the gov ernor's message is his recommenda- tions regarding the assessment Of min ing property in the territory for the purpose of taxation. Although the governor does not so state. in direct language, it is inferred from his mes sage that he does got rayor the bullion tax idea. but prefers the present sys' tenn of taxation and equalization, after some specific amendments. which he suggests, have been made by the legls' lature. -...--. ......--.. --
 The governor believes that the as sessors in the several counties, the county boards of equalization, and the territorial board of equalization, are eompetent to deal with the question oi assessing the mines, provided they dc their duty, but suggests that the pres ent revenue laws of the terriIor! should be amended, dividing the min ing property in the territory into tWf classes-producing and non-producing
 For the sake of argument, and ad hitting that the assessors in some tbe counties of the territory have seemingly been derelict in their assess ment of the rich producing mines Il Arizona, the question again arises How is an assessor to arrive at th' value of a patented mining claim There is no real basis of value, no never can be, for assessing tWent acres of mineral ground. The bes and only certain basis is the produc tion of ore from that mine, or grou of mining claims. The governor sus gests that the value of mining clair might reasonably be assessed at tn amount of annual production of ort but instead of placing the assessmen on the twenty acres of ground, froT which the ore was extracted, if thi should be the basis of assessment,
 tax direct upon the ore, or the bullion would be the most satisfactory an simplest method.
 Under the present system of equali ing assessments in Arizona the gove nor of the territory Is absolutely th board of equalization. He appoints hi own board and has the power to T move them if they fail to do his bi ding. The Review gives Governor Xii bey credit for an honest attempt increase the value of mining properf in Arizona, but his own efforts hay shown the weakness of the preset modus operandi. There are SO mar loop holes in the present revenue lav in this territory that even under Il direction of the governor. who is able attorney, the objects and 'desir of the territorial board of equalizatit

Rome. June 5.-The situation of
Italy at The Hague conference was
made known today. After Signor Tit
Ioni returned from London, where he
had been ambassador, to become
minister of foreign affairs, he. an
bounced himself in entire accord with
Great Britain's proposition as to linn
itation of ornaments. Germany and
Austria the two other members of
the triple alliance, were not in favor
of England's suggestion, and sought
10 change Tittoni's views. This was
finally brought about by Chancellor
Bueiow in secret conference with Tit
toni at Rappallo some months ago.
AT the time of Rappallo meeting
IL was reported that White. who had
gust gone as American ambassador
to Paris a few weeks before. had a
mission to bring France around to
the views of America and England
with regard to Limitation of arma-
ments which would have meant again
the insulation of Germany and Aus
tria.
The arguments of Buelow were not
without weight from the point of
view of ally to ally. so that Tittoni
had an idea of a middle course.

by England aud the United States
(the answer OF Secretary Root being
couched in very courteous terms) but
by Germany herself, as 1t appears
that Buelow had misunderstood the
proposition when laid before him ut
