nesday morning by Judges Murphy
Mandell and Hosmer, Sheriff Burns
wins a sweeping victory In his fight
with the board OF county auditors. He
is permitted TO retain his 80 deputies
and the auditors must pay the salar-
les OF all.
The fight started several months
ago when the auditors attempted to
cut off two deputies, even after the
board OF supervisors had voted $780,
900 to pay so men. The sheriff OBJ
jected to the cut, and carried the mat
ter into the courts. The case was
started when the auditors refused to
pay Daniel Campbell, deputy for his
services I'm January and mandamus
proceedings were instituted.
The judges are unanimous In the
opinion that the auditors have no
authority to determine the number OF
deputies to be employed under salar-
led compensation. They hold that the
auditors can regulate the number OF
clerks To be employed. but claim that
d deputy-sheriff Is not a clerk. The
court also held that no proper inves-
tigaticn as TO the requirements OF the
service had been made by the audit
ors.
I'VE haven't had a meeting since
We heard OF the decision Auditor
Buhrer said Wednesday morning, but
think you will be safe in announcing
that we will appeal to the supreme
court. We have no personal feeling
in the matter against the sheriff, but
we want the question of our authority
settled once and for all IL we have
not the right to. say how many men
the sheriff shall employ we want to
know ii, and we want the people to
know II, so that no blame will attach
to us for the expense incurred"

PERRiN'S STATEMENT

Before this matter is ended 1 will expose a piece of villainy that will be astounding. Beyond that, there is no statement that l can give out at the present time"
 This is the remark made by Dr. E. B. Perrin, one of the biggest land owners in the southwest. Dr. Perrin was charged with having been implicated with a man named Benson in land frauds in T-maha c,unty, Cal. He was tried before a jury which returned a verdict of guilty and a sentence of twelve months in jail was imposed.
 Dr. Perrin. howev-r, through his attorneys has taken an appeal to the higher courts and the case is now pending and he is out on bail.
 Rumors have been rife si,-ce his conviction that additional sensa- tions were brewing in this case and that Dr. Perrin would produce some evidence later that would be astounding.
 He declined, however, to discuss this matter, further than to state that underhand work would be shown up and that decided sen sation would result.
 Dr. Perrin has just returned from a trip to Washington, where he had a lengthy conference with his at torneys. He is a resident of Will jams, where he has large land hold ings. His property in Arizona and California will total about 36O,OOO acres.
 Dr. Perrin is the owner of the Babare Coma land grant which is located in Southern Arizona. There are 33,O0O acres in this grant and Col. w. c. Greene is negotiating at present for it's purchase. Should the deal now pending not be com, pleted Dr. Perrin sxpects to pas ture large bunch of sheep on the grant.
 In the prosecution of Dr. Perrin by the government, F. J. Heney acted as special prosecutor.-Phoe- nix Democrat.

Would Disfranchise Negroes

The expected in the Oklahoma legislature is about to be realized in a measure drawn up by Senator L. K. Taylor of Chickasha, to be introduced at once, for the purpose of disfranchising the Oklahoma negroes, with the hope of everlast ingly putting the republican party in Oklahoma out of business.
 Essentially an election measure, it deals with the qualifications of electors, states the necessary citi- zenship, and provides manner of citizenship. Then comes the inn portant section:
 Before ballot shall be issued to any elector. he may be required provided majority of the precinct election board so desires, to read and construe any section of the present state or federal constitu- tions that the said majority may designate, and should said person be unable to properly read and construe such section. although he possesses all other qualified ations of an eiector. he shall not be allowed to vote; provided, however, that the provisions of this act shall not apply to any person whose grand fathers enjoyed the right to vote under some form of government" ,"
 It is claimed this is the most eff fectual disfra nchise ment of the ne- gro known, for it would be an ex- ceedingly difficult matter to find other than a negro that could cite non voting grandfather.

RAILROAD MAIL RATES

III moving tuc lIeiSHI ol olu
 ary shippers a railroad competing
 for the tra fife but having a circuit
 ous route invariably accepts the
 rate made by the short route 1 Sometimes 1t does more and com pels the short line to allow d ''dif
 ferential," that is to say, fixed
 percentage less than the short route
 rate to make for the longer time in
 transit. Short lines frequently
 make such concessions rather tha n
 to engage in an unprotitab ble rate
 war. In carrying the mails, how ever. different rule seems to pre-
 vail. Initial lines interested in
 long routes and able to divert mail
 matter to them seem to send all the mail possible the long way, but collect the long mileage instead ac- cepting the mileage of the short route, as it would always do in handling private traffic. The second assistant postmaster general has recommended that when two routes are available for the trans portation of mail matter the com pensation shall be fixed on the basis of the shortest route. It is stated that this has already. been ordered in the case of several routes and the second assistant postmas- ter general advises that it shall be made the regular policy of the de partment. It is also stated that the railroads are alarmed"
 The railroads ought to perform service for the government or precisely the same terms on which they perform it for individuals. In the case of mail matter the con- pensation ought to be substantially the same as that received for transporting express matter. That should be the basis If the post office requires facilities or service in excess of those ordinarily given to express matter, each item of such excess should be stated and paid for. And rates, certainly, ought to be fixed on the basis of the shortest route There have been gross abuses in the compen- sation of railroads for carrying mails, which have done much to cause the annual deficit If those abuses and the allowance of un- limited franking to the executive departments were removed, there would be no deficit. Excessive payments to railroads for carrying the mails do not account for all the deficit, but they do account for a good part of it, and should be stopped. The "Chronicle" has for years been insisting that mail and express matter carried. on the Sd me train should pay equal rates. We have not yet induced the pos office or rather congress, t. adopt that plain principle of jus tice, but we are glad 10 note that at least we are getting the aid of the second assistant postmaster general in advocacy of the principle that compensation shall be based on the mileage of the shortest route-San Franciso Chronicle.
