FURTHER PROOF

made on Assessor Birdn0 by Ora
ham county's corporation organ, the
Arizona Bulletin, were unjust an!
untrue. we publish the following
ing letter from the president of the
Arizona Assessors Association, which
shows clearly that our assessor is
simply carrying out the reforms in
assessments that is being followed
in all other counties and by the Ter
ritorial Beard of Equal, cation. 1t
also goes to show that had not Mr..
Birdno followed the course he has
the Territorial Board would have
ordered the raises he has made at
its August meeting:
PRESCOTT, ARIZONA,
June ID, 1911.
Mr.. JOHN j. BIRDNo, Assessor.
Stafford, Arizona.
DEAR SIR: Have just received a
copy of the detailed report of the
recent proceedings of the Terri
torial Board of Equalization,' show
ing the assessed valuations upon
railroad property within the Terri
tory of Arizona for the year 1911,
showing an increase in valuation
over 1910 of ~, 633, 1854.
The assessed valuation for 1911 ,247 $685. Is
The assessed valuation for 1910 was lo.6ls577.sl
Increase 2.6sssls.si
While | do not think the valua-
ton as placed represents the actual
cash value" of the railroad property
in question. and is not in just pro-
portion to other classes of property
in the several counties, as assessed
by members of this Association, l
consider the action of the present
Territorial Board of Equalization as
very commendable and subject to
the praise of all the tax payers
within the Territory. They are
moving in the right direction and |
anticipate better results in the fu-
ture.
For this betterment in equaliza-
ton feel we should be justly proud
as an Association of the part we
have taken and sustained at this
June meeting of the Territorial
Board.
The resolutions adopted in our
January meeting were presented
and filed for record with the Terri
torial Board and the schedule of
property as made by our Associa-
ton accepted as the official one to
be used in the future
No action was taken upon private
land grants or railroad land grants.
These subjects will no doubt be con-
sidered at the August meeting of
the Territorial Board. and I am now
preparing data to present at such
time.
Now that the Territorial Board
has accepted our cooperation and
in all sincerity endeavored to adjust
the valuation Of one class of prop
erty, namely, railroads, ] believe we
should all strive to correct such in
equalities as exist with other classes
of property within our individual
jurisdiction and to have this years
work be the proof of our sincerity
as unanimously expressed during
the formation of our Association
last January. to adjust and equalize
all classes of property so that each,
the big and the little, the rich and
the poor, should bear their just
burden of taxation equally.
Thanking you for the support
you have given your officers in the
past, | remain,
Sincerely yours,
T. E. CAMPBELL,
President

HOC-TYING

Inc 1Oll0Wlng arClcle winch dp-
peared in the Saturday Evening
Post, of June 18th, very aptly de-
scribes the difference between the
constitutions adopted by the people
of Arizona and the people of New
Mexico.
Arizona's constitution is progress
i've and preserves the rights of its
people in all things; the constitution
of New Mexico deprives its people
of the right to even govern them
selves.
The politicians and the corpora
tions greatly favor New Mexico's
constitution. it is so conservative,
you know; SO "preservative" of the
interests" and the people, well,
what do they amount to anyhow.
1t will be perfectly safe for those
who control affairs in New Mexico
to admit her to statehood with such
constitution, perfectly "republi-
can in FORM"
But Arizona! Oh, my, its constitu-
ton is dreadfully opposed to giving
up the rights Of its people. 1t de-
clares emphatically in favor Of self
government, which prevents control
by corporations or politicians. 1t
even insists on recalling" bad Of
ficials, which will never do, you
know. Therefore, Arizona's con-
stitution, being against corporate
control and in favor of its people
governing themselves, is obnoxious
and it would not do to admit Ari-
IONA under such circumstances. 1t
would be unwise. indeed, to ever let
the people Of Arizona even think
for a moment that they have any
rights that corporations or poll
ticians should respect.
President Taft is perfectly salts
fled with the corporation constitu-
ton of New Mexico, but he with
holds his approval of the peoples
constitution of Arizona.
The Post says:
The constitution adopted by Ari-
iona has been correctly described as
progressive" and that adopted by
New Mexico as conservative" or
"reactionary." A large proportion
of the inhabitants Of New Mexico
are of Spanish descent. Among
them Spanish is still the common
tongue, and their politics retain a
Spanish flavor. Competent witnesses
agree that they are very conserv-
alive people, not much taken with
change"
In order to amend this conserva-
tive constitution of New Mexico
two-thirds of all the members of
both houses of the legislature must
first adopt the proposed amendment,
which is then submitted to the peo-
pie. To become effective such an
amendment must receive q majority
Of all the votes cast thereon, not
only in the whole State But in at
least one-half of the separate coun-
ties, and this majority must COM
prise at least forty per cent. of all
the votes cast at the election. The
amendment. that is, might get a
unanimous vote in forty-nine per
cent. of the counties, containing an
overwhelming majority of the total
population, and still fail.
That provision was put in there"
said Representative Martin, Of Col.
orado. in q speech attacking this
feature, to hog.tie the American
element of New Mexico"
In years to come the American
inhabitants, greatly increased by
immigration, might wish to adopt
some obnoxiously insurgent feature
like the recall of judges. 1t was
deemed advisable to hog-tie them.
This is the constitution that Pres
ident Taft promptly approved, as
republican in though he
withheld his approval from the pro-

A. R. CATER CANNOT
AGREE WITH HObSON
Arizona Eastern Agent Convinced
There Is No Prospect Of War
With Japan.

After several days of close intimacy
with the officers of the Second Unit
ed States infantry, which regiment he
escorted from Tucson To san Fran
cisco. General Agent A. r Cater Of
the Arizona Eastern has returned To
Phoenix, firmly convinced that there
is no immediate prospect of war with
Japan He is arraycd with General
Nelson y. Miles and others of the
nations cooler headed military men
and is of the opinion that Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson. who has
for several years been going about
the country warning the people
against the yellow peril" is little
more than notori,ty seeker.
Cater has some very positive ideas
ON the subject Whether he evolved
them out of his own inner conscious
ness or absorbed them in the course
of friendly discussions with the Of
nccrs of the Second infantry is un-
known In either case they sound
reasonable
DO YOU think that the United
States would be sending troops to
war;" hc said The Second infantry
has been ordered To- Hawaii as an
addition To- the force already on the
islands 1t would bc the height of
insanity To send troops To- Hawaii If
war with Japan were in prospect
and the United States officers know
this. They cannot possibly send
enough soldiers To the islands To de
fend them successfully against the
Japanese fleets. Hawaii would b.
taken in few minutes if the Japs
started out To- take it, and the troops
sent there would bc merely lost.
NO. America is going 10 keep her
soldiers at home, when there is any
danger that they will hc needed. Let
the Japs take our island possessions,
they don't amount To- anything But
when the Asiatics attempt To- land on
hands fun They may succeed in
landing an army and the army will
give a lot of trouble for time, hut
ultimately it will bc wiped out The
United States will annihilatc the
Japanese race, for the Japs won't
give up. no matter what happens.
General Miles is now on the cost
and Cater referred To interviews he
has given out to California news
papers i'm support of his own theories
Miles also believes that the Japancs"
will be annihilatcd if they start any
thing with the United States
Cater does not believe that the re-
moval of the Second infantry To-
Hawaii has any significance II is
the custom of the war department To
have each regiment of the regular
army alternate between the United
States and our island possessions
three years at home and three broad
Three years ago the Second infantry
returned from the Philippines Incl
dcntally. Cater escorted the regiment
from Yuma To FL Paso at that time
Ii was stationed at Fort Thomas, Ky,
until ordered To- Hawaii
1t was great disappointment to
Cater that ho had To go To san
Francisco just at the time Roosevelt
was coming To hoeniX. He tried To
get back in time To greet the strenu-
Gus one here, but found that impos-
sible. The disappointment of Theo-
dore was even more keen than that

information leading TO her arrest. The
case is the first OF It's kind known in

money TO her own use.
