platform will be, 1.-The Republicans
have not left much for them to stand
on. They will undoubtedly try tc
obllterate local issues by an appeal tc

the party ticket.
A meeting OF the Republican clut

And that will probably be done. a.
number Of the present list Of officials
do not desire reelection, and Id fact
do not want to run again, but the
probability is they will be drafted.
And, on platform Of lower taxes and
more improvements, it is difficult to
see how the Democrats can stop them
from sweeping the city.

WOULD STOP
 FAKE PROMOTERS.

President Doran, of the council, in- trodueed yesterday an unusually meri- torious bill. It is law making 1t a felony for any superintendent Of other officer of a mining company in the territory to publish or give out any false information concerning any mining property for the purpose of selling stock of any company. The penalty for such action Is made a felony It is known that many invest OTIS in this territory have been swim dled by interruptions promoters of mining companies, and it is high time this business Is stopped. Many times in the past. worthless mines have been exploited for no other purpose than robbery and all robberies should stand equally before the law. There is very little difference between the man who blows open safe and takes the money and the one who induces people to buy stock in a mining com pany which has no tangible assets. It Is to be hoped that MT. Doran's bill win meet with the favor of the ma Jority of the members of the twenty fourth legislature.

ORGANIZATION OF
 STATISTICAL WORK.

The different chapters In future vol tunes of the series Mineral Resources of the United States" which the Unit ea States Geological Survey has been publishing for the past 21 years, will be written by members of the Survey. In this report they will differ from their predecessors, which have been prepared mainly by outside experts for each of the mineral industries, working under appointments as sVe- ciaI agents of the Survey. This corps of experts included such distinguished men as Messrs. Charles Kirchoff, George F. Kunz, James M. Swank, Jo- seph D. Weeks, Charles D. Yaiey-John BirI1inbine. Joseph Hyde-Pratts.F H. oliphant, Heinrich Ries, Edmund Otis Harvey, F. J. H. Merrill and oth- CTS. In the introduction to the last volume, which covers the calendar year 1905. Dr. David T. Day. chief of the division of Mineral Resources, in making this change, acknowledges his great indebtedness to them for their monumental work in building up and maintaining this series and his regret at the breaking of the ties of score of years of joint endeavor.
 This series of reports was begun In 1883. Its object then. as now. was to give an account of the known mineral resources of the United States and present statistical statement of the production of these materials and the uses to which they were applied At that time the study of economic geoI- oey in the United States geological sur vey was greatly limited by insufficient appropriations from Congress and by the fact that the training possible for an economic geologist in the leading colleges and fin the Geological Survey ats.oif rxaa not sufdcient to secure an

4 GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

RECOMA3ENDAElO Among other good recommepda- lions included in the message of Gov ernor Kibbey- to the twenty-fourth leg islature was the one suggesting that companies Incorporated within the territory for the purpose of transact ing business in other states be re- quired to pay a franchise tax. In no other state can companies be incorpor- ated without paying tribute to the state treasury, and the fact that they do not do SO in AfzsBna Is evidence that our people have overlooked this matter.
 Some of the mining companies now doing business in this territory have paid many thousand dollars for the privilege of incorporating in other states.
 If the incorporation laws of Arizona are a valuable asset to those who come here to incorporate companies, 1t is right and proper that 1t should be paid for. We are in favor of . franchise tax being charged against every company incorporated in this territory for the purpose of carrying on business outside Of the territory. The amount should not be less than s10o on each company, and if 1t was double that we do not believe that it would diminish the number of com panies now coming here.
 
 In the Cowan bill of four years ago we had a measure that put something like s50.050 of easy money into the territorial treasury and the corpora ton franchise, tax we believe, would put many times that amount into our public coffers. ThIs would be all out side money and we hope the legisla- ture will give heed to the words of Governor Kibbey in this matter.
