THE GOVERNORS SPECIAL MES
 SAGE.

Governor Kibbey's special message yesterday rather emphasized the i'm probability that the present legisla- ture will succeed in enacting any new legislation regarding the taxation of mines. The message in the first part was an amplification of his hitherto expressed objections "in principle and detail' to the Doran bill. The objec- tions to the details of the bill might be met as the supporters of the meas ure have all along signified their willingness to accept such amend ments as might be made to ap- pear advisable. But the condem- nation of the bill in principle ap- pears to render futile and unprof:ta- ble any further discussion of the de- tails of it
 The governor cannot be expected to surrender an iota of principle and it is equally unexpected that the friends of the bill in the legislature could surrender an iota of principle involved in their objections to the governors plans for a vast extension of the pow CTS of the territorial board of equal ization.
 For notwithstanding the governors declaration that the present law which has been in force for twenty years may be made to meet present emer- gencies by slight alterations. and not withstanding the governors bill is made up of a series of amendments of the existing law. one of those amendments CT alterations is of such a sweeping character that it abollshes the taxing machinery of the counties with respect to the mines. as effec- tually as if the provision were in ex- press terms. Yet the governor throughout the message insists that there was no reason why mining prop erty should be regarded as different from other classes Of property. The classification Of the mines contemplat- ed by the governors bill might be made so minute as to put each mine into a class by itself and in that event the classification might as well be dis pensed with altogether and the ter ritorial board might as well be given as absolute authority over the mines as it now enjoys, and properly by reason of their inter-county charac- ter. over the railroads
 If the plan proposed by the gov ernor were acceptable it might as well be extended to every other item of property listed for taxation.

A WORD TO THE EXPERTS. .'

The council yesterday did with the three-cent fare bill what it was ex- pected it would do. for it could not be conceived that the upper house would take notice of the democratic challenge sent to it from the north end of the capitol and so endanger the de- velopment of the territory.
 At no time since the discussion of railroad legislation began with the opening of the session has an intelli- gent argument been made in favor Of the populistic designs which have come to an end.
 We have heard only that it is right 10 oppress the railroads because they are corporations or because it has been done in Texas without detrlment to railroad development in that state These arguments are hardly deserving of attention, vet We may point out this hitherto disregarded circum- stance: When Texas began curbing the railroads those thoroughfares were already under wa--. not seeking ter minal points in Texas and not expect ing to profit by the presence of Texas on the map. They were on their way to Gulf ports or to Pacific ports. Texas became to them an obstruction which they must either disregard or they must abandon their earlier plans. Thus the Gila and the Salt rivers are dlscouragins rivers in food time and entail great expense oa the railroads by the destruction Of bridges. Yet the railroads cannot afford to turn back at these rivers.
 There is another fact which has not been given consideration and that is that the development O. Texas has been Incidental rather than objective. a consequence Of the railroads de-

velopmen;s of t,e.r own plans ex- tend ng beyond the boundaries of the
 state
 We are differently situated. The railroads have no need of other trans continental lines through Arizona than those they already have. It is not in necessary rurtherance of extensive rlans that they should bore any fur thcr into almost inaccessible noun tains for the development of new min cral districts. None of them have set out upon an inevitable course along OUT valleys for the opening up of new a agricultural districts. They can stop where they are now without the de- engagement oi any important plans.
 In all other respects the arguments in favor of the proposed anti-railroad legislation bristles with a want of careful thought. It was never more clearly demonstrated that "a little learning is a dangerous thing" than when Mir. O'Neil yesterday armed with a copy of the interstate com merce commissions report imagined he was furnishing incontrovertible proof of the astounding fact that the Arizona railroads were the most prof itable in the country when he showed that the train mile" earnings were greater than those on the Philadelphia S Reading. the Boston and Maine, the through Pennsylvania. the Baltimore & Ohio and other lines which tra verse rich and populous regions. He might have shown that the train mile" earnings of all the Kansas shortlines. "jerkwater roads as he ele- gantly denominated them, were great CT than those of the Arizona roads.
 It never occurred to MT. O'NeiH that the frequency with which a line is traversed by trains is an essential thing to be considered in comparisons of this sort. on these shortline roads single more or less heavily laden train passes each day. carrying the accumulated business of twenty-four hours and on that the train mile" earnings are estimated. On such roads as the Philadelphia and Reading. trains pass in almost continuous procession. each carrying the accumulated busi- ness of only a few minutes. These fo.m the basis on which their train mile" earnings are figured.
 All this is now. We realize, a prof itless expenditure of time and space. yet. sometime perhaps Mir. O'Neill and the other self educated experts in years to come may attempt other railroad legislation and SO will be for tified with this useful and We may say. indispensable information. There is though much other they will need to have.

Young Man Passed Ascav
IHurstdy afternoon.

Mr.. Robert N. Estridge, a
highly esteemed young man and
popular merchant of Lancaster,
member of the firm of Estridge

after an illness of two weeks, at
the home of his father, Mr.. w.

out avail. A young man of high
integrity of character, exemplary
habits and pleasing manners,
Mr.. Estridge had many friends
and enjoyed the unbounded con-
fidence of all who knew him. 1t
was but natural, therefore, that
his untimely death should occa-
sion profound sorrow.
Mr.. Estridge was in his 25th
year, having been born, in this
county, Sept. 26, 1882. He was
unmarried. Besides his bereaved
parents, MIR. and Mrs. w. M. Es-
fridge, he leaves five brothers
and two sisters, all of this coun-
ty, viz: Messrs Albert. Henry,
William, Van and John Estridge,
Mrs. Thomas Williams and Mrs

one of the brothers, the Rev.
William F. Estridge, is prom.
nent young Baptist minister.
Mr.. Estridge was consistent
member of the Baptist church
and he exemplified in his daily
walk and conversation his sincere
religious convictions. The re-
mains were buried yesterday
