HAMPTON of Graham.

The following is taken from the
Phoenix Democrat dated Saturday,
March 9th:
All through the strenuous proceed
ings of yesterday during the call of
the house, and the efforts made by the
house to compel the member from Co.
ConinO to deliver to the house SUBJ
stitute for Concil Bill As, Representa-
tive Hampton, of Graham county, led
the side favorable to the proposition
to amend the substitute for the COur-
Gil bill, providing that twenty-iy e
per cent should be taken as the bas S
of valuation instead of twenty per
cent. On the first proposition his
motion was lost and twenty-five and
one-halt per cent was substituted,
but it was Immediately evident that
the bill could never be passed to its
third reading, under suspension of the
rules, unless Hampton's proposition,
which the gentleman's from Graham
advanced as fair equitable assessment
was agreed to. Hampton, by his dig
nified course on all measures befo e
the house, has won the respect ard
confidence of all the members. He
does not arrive at a hasty decision
on any question and being entirely
independent of any influence pro and
con which might be brought to bear
upon him, his opinion on any PROPOSE
tion is listened to with confidence and
respect. Hampton's compromise on
a basis of a twenty-five per cent was
what solidifed the house Yesterday
and his dignified manner in dealing
with the gentleman from Coconiuo,
who was fighting loosing battle, on
ly added to his strength. Just what
course Hampton would pursue, or how
his ballot would be cast, when it came
to vote on the final mine tax PROPOSE
tion, has been an uncertainty during
the week. The fact is no one knew
but Hampton and when he finally came
out in the open and gave his unquali-
fed support to what he termed was
conservative and fair taxation of the
leading industry of the territory,
there where those who had for a time
been in doubt upon the proposition,
who saw the strength of the position
he assumed and lined up on his side
in favor to suspend the rules without
further filibustering or debate.
The amendment introduced by
Hampton and adopted by the house
means an additional four million dol
lars assessment upon the producing
mines of the territory. Not bad
days work for the gentleman from
Graham.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-03-14

THAT Graham county needs new
court house there appears to be no
doubt. The old court house, which
was built many years ago, is
gradually going to pieces and it is
only a question of a short time until
some provision will have to be made
for new one. The building is now
about split in the center, and but for
trusses, which were recently added,
the people of Graham county would
have court house division even if not
county division. When the PROPOSE
tion of rebuilding the court house
comes before the public the question
will be discussed as to its location.
1t has been generally reported that
Clifton was after it and would make
strong fight to have the county
divided or the county seat removed.
There is very little talk in Clifton
about the matter, still the chances
are that Clifton would not refuse if
the county seat was thrust upon it,.
Duncan has been frequently men,
toned as the best location, as it is
favorably situated and can be reach
ed by rail from almost any point in
the county.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1907-03-14

IN MANY respects Clifton has al
ways been considered progressive
camp, but there has always been a
great lacking in the way of pleas
ant place where the people, and es-
pecially the young men, could spend
their idle evenings. Almost every
town in Arizona has gymnasium or
club room. Clifton can support an
institution of this kind, but what is
needed is somebody to take the lead
and work it up. There are many
citizens in the town who will con-
tribute literally towards it's support
and sufficient number of members
can easily be secured to not only sup
port it. but make it paying PROPOSE
tion. What do you say? Let's get
busy and have one.

The LEGISLATURE.

Less than two weeks remain of the
legislative session. Today was the
last day for introducing bills and as a
result there was a flood of minor bills.
The Assembly and Council will now
occupy themselves with action on the
measures now pending.
In the Council the Blakeley saloon
bill prohibiting thirst parlors within
one mile of any territorial institution,
was passed. If this is enacted in the
Assembly and signed by the governor
it will compel several Tucson, Yuma,
| Flagstaff and Benson saloons to select
new locations.
The Council passed the measure
which provides that majority vote
shall be sufficient for local option.
| The O'Neill bill prohibiting steer
tying contests passed the Council.
The Roemer Ii providing for juve-
nile courts was passed.
The Cleaveland four-cent fare bill
was ordered engrossed.
An amendment to the $500 liquor
| license has been introduced making
the time for payment July l.
1t is report that the sheriffs of the
Territory will make an attempt to
get Legislature to extend their terms
of Office two years longer, making the
sheriffship four instead of two years.
