FEDERAL OFFICIALS GAN NOT DICTATE.

What the Taft instruction faction of the republican party in Arizona gets out of the republican territorial convention will not be calculated to create the impression Tn Washington that the federal officials are "IT'' in this territory. As soon as the sug- gestion came from the federal off cials that Arizona should send a Taft instructed delegation to Chicag there was a revolt against the idea of federal officials dictating any party action and it was on this line that the battle was fought at the Primar- ies last Saturday. The result was that three-fourths of the counties made positive pronouncement agains the delegates being instructed fo any candidate. So those who hay opposed instructions and the idea of federal official dictation will fin themselves in complete control of the territorial convention. Two dele gates are to be chosen to represent Arizona in the national republican convention at Chicago The territory has been entitled to six delegates in former national conventions and it is likely that four provisional delegates will be chosen at Tucson. There will be no scarcity of those who will seek the honor of getting on the Arizona delegation, as nearly all the counties will have favorite sons to urge for the distinction Cochise county will ask for one of the two fixed delegates and the man to be favored by the en- dorsement will be chosen on Satur- day, next, at Bisbee. It was gener- ally understood that the delegates SC Iected by the county committee were favorable to Hoval A. Smith, but 1t is now believed that the convention next Saturday will be controlled by those who prefer that Colonel L. ". Powell shall be named for delegate by this county. Arizona republicans will make no mistake if they decide to give both of these gentlemen places of honor.
 The board of supervisors of Mari coma county has, in response to pc tition filed by the citizens of th' county, ordered an election under thu local option law of the territory, t he held on May 2. The election i for taking a vote of the entire cour ty on the question as to whether ss looms shall be permitted in Maricop cocnty in the future or not. IL law requires, that at such electio two-thirds of the votes cast are re anired to carry the prohibition statut into effect. Since the passage of tn local option prohibition law in thi territory several precincts in Mar eopa and Graham counties hay adopted it. It is hardly probabl that prohibition will carry in tn whole of Maricopa county.

that travel over it was becoming ex-
ceedingly dangerous to the public.
The causeway between the two

HOW TITLES ARE TAXED.

The elevation of John Morley and Sir
II. IT. Fowler TO the peerage is prob
ably as pleasing>to themselves as it is
to their thousands of admirers, but each
of the gentlemen so honored will have
to pay fee of at least Geo for the privi-
lege of adding the title of ''viscount' TO
his name. which is the cost of letters
patent for viscounty of the United
Kingdom.
For higher rank the fees amount to
more. The new Duke of Devonshire, for
instance when he comes to take the
entitle him to his own will have to pay
f353 for the same. in addition to paying
away an immense fortune in the shape
of death duties. If the change had been
that of marquisate the fee would have
been $500. A newly made earl pays ESQ.,
baron clio and baronet el90.
These fees, however. are only part OF
honored with title. The cost of in
vestiture, heraldry. etc. considerably
augments the amount. 1t may be remem-
bered that when Lord Roberts accepted
his earldom in 1901 and was subsequently,
given the Garter he was presented witt,
bill for f1.750. which at first he strong
ly-objected to pay

ever. as in the time of James /, for
instance who mulcted his baronets pretty
heavily for their privileges They were
obliged each to maintain thirty soldiers
for defense purposes or pay into the
exchequer an equivalent sum, which
amounted to G1.c95 per year Further
more, to be qualified for the honor in
those days one had to be a gentleman
