GARFIELD'S REPORT.


r. Garfield has submitted his re-
port covering the affairs of his
department, from which we ex-
tract the following:
Conditions in Arizona are
steadily improving. There has
been a gradual increase in popu-
Iation, which is now estimated at
1875, 600. The financial condition
is better than ever before. Tax
able property has increased in
the last three years from $40,
100000 to $77,OOO,OO0, and the
rate of taxation has decreased.
There is no difficulty in more
than caring for the current ex-
penses of the territory and the
retirement of its bonded indebt-
edness.
The organization and use of
the rangers have been most sat
isfactory in the enforcement OF
law and order.
The annual school census, ia
ken in May, gave 33, 167 as the
number Of children Of school age
Is to 81 years. in the territory.
The total number of children
enrolled in the schools was 25,-
$40. This apparently would in
dictate that nearly 5000 children
fail to attend school; but it is
explained that most pupils finish
school at about the age of 18,
although they are enumerated in
the school census until they are
81. Practically all of the chill
dren who attend no school are
of Mexican parentage. To rem
edy the evil of non-attendance at
school, the late legislature en-
acted law which makes attend
ance compulsory, under severe
penalties for parents and guard
Eians. There were 293 school
districts, employing 626 teach
ers-1O8 men and 518 women.
The average monthly salary
paid men teachers was $93. 80:
for women it was $7108.
Not only is the mining wealth
of the territory developing very
rapidly, but the agricultural pos
sibilities have been enormously
increased by the development of
irrigation projects and the ex-
periments in dry farming.
Reclamation Service.
During the past year the recla
nation service has been separat-
ed from the geological survey
and organized as an independent
service, responsible directly to
the secretary. Director of the
Geological Survey Charles d.
Walcott had acted also as Director
of the reclamation service from
June II, 1902, to March 9, 1907.
On the latter date l advanced +.
H. Newell, chief engineer, to the
position of director, and desig-
mated the assistant chief engin
eer, Arthur P. Davis, as chief
engineer of the service.
Rapid progress has been made
in the construction of the works
authorized by my predecessor.
The accumulated fund has prac-
tically been expended, and dur
ing future years the outlay will
probably be less, being governed
by the returns to the fund the
income from the annual sales of
public lands. The problems of
construction have to a large ex-
tent been solved and large areas
of land already placed under ir-
rigation. There is thus brought
forward at the present time the
difficult question of operation
and maintenance, involving the
dealing with thousands of set
tiers, many of whom are unac-
customed to the conditions Of
life in the arid regions and un.
used to the practice of irrigation.
1t is entirely natural that there
should bo dicn,ou in tho 1ornO

COMMENT ON VIEWS
OF SECRET ARY STRAUs

Editor Advertiser: The views of
Secretary Straus on Chinese Exclusion
regulations, recently given from THE
North American Review" make inter-
esting reading. 1t has also been well
said that: ''Mr. Straus' views, as Civ
en-. may be regarded as the view of the
Executive, and he says: L would not
suggest a change in the established
policy of rigidly excluding Chinese la
borers, of every description, both skilled
and unskilled'
But the advocates Of the ad.nis-
sion of a limited number of Chinese
laborers for Hawaii will find tina. in
the adption of the policy advocated by
Secretary Straus the government has
gone quite as far as it can be expected
to until there is a radical change of
opinion among the legislators of the
nation, who fear the labor vote as
keenly as his Satanic Majesty is said
to abhor holy water"
This is very true. The Chinese of
Hawaii can expect very little from
Congress until there is radical
change of opinion among the legislators
of the nation" We might say further
that there will be no change Of opin-
ion among the legislators of the ma
ton until the public opinion of the
great mass of the American people is
educated up to a fairer view of the
subject. 1t is the aim of the present
movement among the Chinese of Ho-
nolulu, to bring such information as
may be necessary, to the knowledge of
the people of the United States, so that
public opinion in America VIII have a
fairer and more reasonable view of the
Chinese question. Now Is a good time
for this work. Secretary Straus has
said:
"At a time when this policy of ex-
clusion has been so thoroughly applied
that there remain in the United States
only about 10000 Chinese-less than
one-tenth of one per cent. of our popu-
Iation-little danger need be appre-
hended from a full and fair reconsid-
Grafton of the subject and a recasting
of the laws upon a Juster basis. In
deed, a more opportune moment than
the present can hardly be desired for
reaching a better understanding with
China on the subject of Chinese immi-
grafton, and for adjusting the letter to
the spirit of our national policy of ex-
clusion."
1t is this better understanding with
China OF this subject that is now de-
sired. There is practically no Anti
Chinese feeling in America, except in
one locality. That feeling moves the
country. The tail wags the dog" be-
cause the dog has not made up it's
mind. Some day the dog will wag
the tail. The Chinese seek to help in
the bringing about of definite opinion,
and a more friendly feeling for the
Chinese people.

linquent taxes, and 10 per cent. penalty

grant licenses in the mayor of the City

supervisors shall issue all licenses in
the several counties, and shall issue to
any reputable person a license to sell
light wines and beer upon payment of
fee or $3.50 and furnishing a good and
sufficient bond to conduct an orderly
place, and the sheriffs of the several
counties shall be the chief inspectors
under the law, thus cutting down the
expenses at present incurred.
I will demand the passage of an act
giving full power to assess and levy
taxes by the several boards of super
visors upon the people for municipal
purposes, and viii urge other necessary
amendments to the County Act, so that
the people shall have municipal gov

ages resulting from a direct trespass
or from misfeasance of the city
amounting to a trespass 1t is a case
of consequential injury resulting di-
rectly from the negligent conduct of
the defendants agents"
There. as here, the injury occurred
to property outside the limits of the
highway. There, as here, the injury
would not have occurred but for the
negligence of defendant. There. as
here, the damages did not result from
an act of the defendant amounting to
a trespass.
Without discussing the cases cited by
the majority to the effect that upon
the facts alleged here an acton lies
against a municipal corporation in the
absence of statute. il is sufficient to
say that most of them are from states
in which it is held that in the absence
of statute an action lies against a
municipal corporation for failure to
repair a highway, and naturally those
courts hold that there is right of ac-
ton in case like the one a bar As
to the cases cited by the majority from
Massachusetts and Michigan and from
other states which follow the rule of
liability adopted there in case of a fall
ure to repair, they. in so far as con-
: trary TO my conclusion. are in effect
overruled and disposed of by the later
cases TO which I have referred.
/ think that if the legislature had
intended that counties should be liable
IN actions OF this kind it would have
expressed such intention in plain terms
Plaintiffs claim that his property
