RAILROAD
ASSESSMENT.


The territorial board Of eQualiza-
tion completed the work of assessing
the railroad property of the territory
last week. The total valuation fixed
on all the railroad property in the
territory is the greatest in the his
tory of Arizona, amounting to more
than nine millions. an increase over
last year of something like s25o,0oo.
It was stated that the greater part
of this increase is to be found In the
increased valuation OF the real estate
owned by the several lines in the ter
ritory
Several railroads in the territory
are yet enjoying exemption from tax
alton. under the exemption laws I'M
der which they were constructed:
when these exemptions expire there
will be considerable addition added
to the railroad valuation of the ter.
ritory.
During the last few years the rail
road valuation of the territory has
been materia..y increased until now
the valuation is about equal TO that
in other western states. Not only has
the valuation of railroads been in
creased for the purpose Of taxation,
but all other property has been in.
creased in valuation. While less than
ten years ago the valuation of the
taxable property in Arizona was less
than s4O.00O.00O. the total today ex.
ceeds S70,0OO,o0 AS a result of this
increase in property and its valuation
the tax rates in the several counties
have been nearly cut in twain. In
the year 1900 the tax rate in Cochise
county was 1920 on the hundred dol.
lars valuation for county and terri
torial purposes; in 1907 the rate OF
taxation in this county was s2.eO on
the hundred for the same purpose. SO
that while the railroads and other
property have been increased in valu,
alton it is paying less taxes than
eight years ago.
While the tax rates are steadily
growing less in Arizona the fact must
not be overlooked that enormous
sums have been expended in public
improvements, building bridges
roads, school houses, etc. Arizona
is now in position 10 offer TO those
who may desire TO invest money in
the development of the resources Of
the territory condition as favorable
so far as taxation is concerned, a:
any western state and much better
conditions when opportunities favor
able To profitable returns are talser
into consideration.

The time is drawing near when the

"of ali the iilustrious lives that
have enriched American history none
are enshrined deeper in the hearts Of
the southern people than that Of this
beloved chieftain of the Lost Cause.
His life and example when the sue
cess that comes of victory crowned
his efforts were not more of an in
SEPARATION to his countrymen than
when as the fallen leader Of de-
feated cause be bore his misfortunes,
augmented by the hate of victorious

evoked the admiration of the whole

I'VE do well to honor his precious
memory by observing this day, made
illustrious in the calendar by the life

THE APAcaEs.


1t has now been more than twenty
years since the apache Indians, who
during the early days OF the settle
ment of Arizona By the first white
men who came here. we're subdued 70
the extent that they ceased making
war on the scattered settlements Of
the territory These Indians were
gathered from all sections of the ter
ritory and placed upon the San Car
los reservation, through which both
the San Carlos and CHA rivers flow.
the two joining at San Carlos. Along
these streams and within the limits
of the Indian reservation lies some
of the best land to be found in the
territory. but year after year it has
remained uncultivated. except for a
few acres along the San Carlos river
which are titled in a crude way by
the squaws.
A dozen years ago Indian farmers
hired by the government had taken
bitches from the ella river above San
Carlos and many productive farms
were in cultivation: none of this land
is now in cultivation. having been
abandoned by the Indians, who re-
fused TO replace the dams in the riv-
,er as they were washed away.
1t is quite evident now that the
Apaches were never endowed with
the requisites of q farmer; they do
not like that character of work and
will no go TO the field when any other
employment can be obtained Many
of them work on the railroads, in the
mines and in building roads TO the
mines, but as farmers they have
proved a total failure and as a result
thousands of acres of the best land
to be, found in the territory remains
uncuItivated.
After twenty years of opportunity
the Indians have failed to make use
of this land, notwithstanding the fact
that the government has several
times bought farm implements and
stock as an inducemcnt for them to
do SO. There is plenty of water in
both the San Carlos and ella rivers
to insure good grain crops every year
and from two to three crops of alfal-
ia The question now is, how long
will the government permit the In
dams TO hold this land without max.
ing use of it? If the Indians will not
farm this land and it seems to be a
certainty that they will not, then it
would seem TO be advisable to pro
vide for leasing the land 10 those
who will make it productive and pro
ftable. The Indians are receiving no
support from the government now, ex-
cept in the case of the very old and
infrm members of the tribe; cattle
are permitted tP run on the reserva,
ton for 81 per head per year and
from this a considerable fund is ac
quired.
The Apaches should not be allowed
to longer retaru rz- agricultural pos
sibilities of the San Carlos Indian
reservation. If the lands were LEASED
they would be worth something to the
Indians whereas they are now the,
are worth nothing to no one.
