What Constitutes Real Prosperity

What is it that makes a town worth living
in? Why, for instance, is it that Billings
Mont, in the Yellowstone Valley - and
Billings is but an instance of a hundred
other prosperous towns which might be
mentioned is such good place to be in ?
Billings is the center of a fine farming
community, true; still there are lots Of
other sections with just as good farming
land; but Billings has the men. And
when this committee for the town hears Of
some new project or enterprise that might
benefit the community, or bring capital or
industry to Billings, they 90 after it. They
needed better banking facilities; so they
organized bank. They thought that
sugar beets might grow well in the valley,
so the farmers experimental with beets
for two years and they found that the
beets would grow splendidly. Then the
business men worked away and got a beet
sugar factory established there. An irri-
CATION company was looking over the
locality and it got encouragement from the
town and has now added 10000 acres of
fertile land to the community. These
men of the "town committee" are busy
people - they have their own businesses
to manage; but they can always find
time to boost the home industries, just as
they would find time to provide for the
common defense, if the Indians should
descend upon the valley, as they did in
times not 50 long distant.

ers Say

THE story is told with immense interest
and is one that no reader will willingly lay
down after beginning it. Parrish is well
known to the reading public. This novel
proves that he has not lost any of his ar
tistic genius or strength of conception and
skillful working out of detail. 1t is won
derfuIiy attractive story.
SAT- Lake Tribune
THE surprising power of this new novel
marks it not only as the best by Mr.. Par
rsh, but as, probably, the strongest in
human interest of the season. Seldom has
any novel exceeded it in virlle strength
and the quality that arouses the emotions"
Grand RAPIDS Herald
"'Bob Hampton of Placer is another
thrilling American novel by Randall Par
rish. Like its predecessors, it commands
attention from the start and holds the
interest absorbed by its continuous action.
Furthermore it is a notably well written
story, exhibiting the authors rare sense of
dramatic values. Praise must be given
to the typographical excellence of the
novel and its mechanical workmanship in
general" -PAzka0eLphzG Press
There will be those in any number who
will contend that this last series of western

he has never done better descriptive work
than in his dramatic story of the Little Big

IN A BAD TEMPER.

The railroad companies of Ne braska have withdrawn special rates of every kind for passenger service in that state and have announced an in- flexible twe-cent rate. The circular in which this is done is somewhat spiteful in tone ard is the first retort upon the eaactment of the two-cent maximum bill.
 The people of Nebraska are told, You wanted two-cent per mile rate and here you have it. No more round trip tickets at reduced rate. The old soldiers, union and confederate. going to their camp fires and reunions must pay two cents mile to get there and two cents a mile to get back. County fairs and even the state fair are not occasions of exception to the rule, and priests. and parsons are to lose their time-honored privilege of riding at half price.
 All this may be very well and is very well if to render proper service to its passengers the railroad com pany must enforce the two-cent rate as minimum as well as a maximum. But the companies have set about 1t in a bad temper. and bad temper nearly always leads to bad way.
 It may be that the priests and the parsons. the old soldiers going to their periodical gatherings and country folk going to and from their fairs have been riding at too low rate, but there are others much, more favored than they. There are such things as l passes distributed not among the poor and needy, but among the men of public influence in the state who are ready to barter that influence for consideration of personal and pecun- iary advantage and who infest and seek to corrupt primaries. conventions legislative assemblies. and respect not the temple of justice itself The cir cular issued by the railroad com panies does not deal with these. They are to be continued.
 It is also definitely announced that special rates for persons dependent upon public charity will no longer be given, but the private cars of the man agers will be drawn upon the same : complimentary terms as of old and

WHAT IS
 FORMERS GAME?

A well known Washington cores pondent asks this question and de- clares that this is an important ques- ton in national politics at the present time. As Senator Foraker has the af- lection of the people of Arizona to greater extent than any other public man because of his unswerving as- sistance in the jointstatehood fight last year, anything concerning the senator or his plans is of interest here. The Washington correspondent is of the opinion that Senator Foraker is laying his plans for becoming a president maker rather than with a view of reaching the Whitehouse him self.
 be playing not for the nomination. but for reelection to the senate, in the event of another republican success at the polls, to enjoy dominating po- sition like that held by Hanna during the Mckinley regime.
 Apparently Foraker has taken the lead as "reactionary" candidate who is seeking to turn the tide of power away from Roosevelt. But in reality the expectation is that he will event uaIly be found supporting Taft, the price being Taft's complete alliance with Foraker on basis of enormous obligation.
 Then. Taft nominated and elected, Foraker will have been the president maker.
 Some persons consider Foraker a presidential possibility, but not many of them live in Ohio. It is doubtful if Foraker himself has any serious deiu- sions respecting the matter. He would unquestionably like the nomination If he could get it, but he is not so young in politics or so inexperienced respect ing forces necessary to control na- tional convention to permit himself to be deceived by any false hopes with regard to his own chances. 
 But everyone knows. and knows it better because of what Foraker has done in the last two sessions of con gress. that he is certain to be a fac tor in the political situation in Ohio, when the national delegates are to be chosen, and that any man who ex- poets to secure the yotes of that dele gation must either detsat Foraker out right in a pitched battle or agree to such terms as the senatr himself may suggest.
 In a contest between Taft and Fora ker in Ohio. the result would neces' sarily remain doubtful until the last ] shot had been fired and the smoke ot

equalization. The territorial board of equalization is as useless as at pres eut constituted as the fifth wheel to a road wagon. What is the necessity for maintaining such a board that must necessarily be under the con trol of the governor of the terraory, whoever he may be. If territorial board of equalization is to be main tained at the expense of the taxpayers of Arizona then the people should have the right to choose the mem bers of such a board so that they would be responsible to, the people for their acts. This paper has sug- gested in the past that the territorial board of equalization should be com posed of the chairmen of the boards of supervisors of the several counties. These gentlemen would be specially qualified for equalization duties be- cause of their perfect knowledge of the conditions and valuations in the various sections Of the territory. They would be fresh from the work of going over the county assessments and could certainly come as near to cor rect values as could men chosen by the governor more m account of their political prominence than because of their knowledge of property values. One of the recommendations of Gov ernor Kibbey was asking that the ter ritorial board of equalization be given more power; we should say that if the board is to remain as at present constituted 1t should be shorn of much of the power it already has.
 It is the duty of this board to as sess the railroad property of the ter ritory; under its workings in the past the railroads of the territory have been allowed to assess themselves This paper would suggest that unless we can have board of equalization elected by the voters of the territory it would be well to give the power of assessing railroads to the governor or to the board of control and abolish the territorial board of equalization.

battle had all cleared away.

battle had all cleared away.
 The indications are that Foraker would win, but it would be such a victory as would leave him crippled and handicapped for the rest of his political existence. His defeat would put him out of public life. leaving him to contemplate in bitter retirement the triumph of the foes he has fought so well and so courageously in every state convention in recent years.
 However the fight were to result, its inevitable effect would be to elimt- nate both Tslt and Foraker from the nst of presidential possibilities and throw the prize. either to reaction ary like Fairbanks or a compromise candidate like Knox. For this Foraker would be held re sponsible by the Ohio people, for as there is a general belief among Ohio men that, with harmonius action by the republicans of the state, Taft may be both nominated and elected. Fora ker would be charged with robbing the state of an opportunity to present the country again with president.
 The senator knows this as well as any one. He also knows, unless he is deceiving himself. that Taft is far more available candidate in the pres ent state of feeling than he (Foraker) could possibly hope to be, and that, therefore, the memorable logic of the situation points to an alliance be. tween himself and Taft.
 Nevertheless, there is indubitable proof that the real intentions of the senator are not as had been supposed to prevent the nomination of Secre- tary Taft or any other man favored by | the administration, but to draw pub lie attention to himself. so as to com pei the administration forces to seek his friendship.
 That this is true undoubtedly bright ems Taft's presidential chances. It is
 upon the question of Rooseveltisn that the politics of the immediate flu ture will turn and advantages of DO sition in the contest for the nomina ton will appear to be with Secretary Taft.
 It Is because of this that the new conclusions respecting the attitude and intentions of Senator Foraker be come important, because, if Forakel
 is to get out of Taft's way in Ohio, as he unquestionably will do, then it vii
 be a fleet runner who catches Taft.

DORIAN BILL
 NOW 4 LAW.

The surprise of the legislative ses- sion came when Governor Kibbey af- fixed his signature to the Doran mine tax bill. The governor, in approving ths> bill. did not conceal the fact that he was opposed to 1t both in principle and detail. but he stated what is the truth when he said the Doran bill would be a great improvement over the old law for the taxation of mines. He signed the bill probably because he was convinced that the measure would be passed over his veto should he interpose one. If the result of the Doran bill comes up nearly to the measure of merit claimed for it by those who urged its passage in the legislature the tax rate in Cochise county ought not 10 bs gore than flf- ty per cent of the amount levied against the property for last year.
 This paper believes that in passing the Doran bill the legislature has placed a law on the statute of Arizona that will result in largely increasing the revenue from the mining industry and place the tax burden equally on the producing mines of the territory, so that in future there can be no more squabbling over certain mining proper ty paying more tax than other prop critics in other sections of the terri tory. Another virtue of the Doran bill is the fact that it exernpts from taxation all -he non-producing mines of. the territory, except upon mere nominal acreage valuation.
 The exact figures of the total vaiu- ation of the new tax bill will place upon the mining property of Cochise county is not at hand, but it may be safely assumed that the value of the mining product for last year will not faIi below six million and this will be more than double the value of last years mining values for taxation. The new measure places Cochise away ahead of any other county in the ter ritory in the matter of assessed valne and that our people are now to en- Ter a period of low taxes which will greatly stimulate ali manner of de velopment. It has only been 8 few years since the tax rate of Cochise county was $4-20 on the one hundred dollars: the rate was s2.e5 for terri torial and county purposes last year and 1t is quite likely that the rate for the present year will not exceed $f.5o.
 Such a result will mean much foi the growing cities in this county There is no inducement more attrac tive for capital or homeseekers thar low taxes and it is now assured thai Cochise county win have by far ths lowest rate of taxation 10 be found fl the terftory.
