it happened to weigh little more tan four pounds. This business man has good opportunity to do some thinking. He might well ask why if the express companies can carry a four-pound package for 64 cents' they cannot just as well carry five pound package for 80 cents? That package from Philadelphia weighed six pounds, which al toe postal rate
 would have called Nor charges of 94 cents. The difference in this in stance between s2l5 and s4 cents is a very good and compact eNplana- ton of the heart-breaking howl Of ruin" now assailing the ears of the business men. The latter have nosn ing to fear from the parcels post, and in this fight between the people aud the express monopoly the mer' chants have everything to gain by standing with the people. The par cells post will come. and is bound to come.

not be a good inducement to hold out for a restoration of wor. on the Tombstone mines. In Arizona to- day there are four or five big cop per companies nearing the time when they will undertake to pro duce copper from an extremely low grade ore at profit. The Miami at Globe and the Ray in Pinal coun- ty. are erecting mammoth concentra- ting mills which promise to begin operation during the early part of the coming year. Other important properties expected to try their great bodies of low grade ores in the near future are the Inspiration and the Live Oak in Gila county. A threat of increased taxation will not be an encouragement to others to undertake further mine develop ment in Arizona, though the oppor- tunities in this line would warrant the coming of many more millions which would mean employment for thousands of additional miners.
 We would advise that Arizona make haste slowly iD the matter of increasing mine taxation or doing anything elgs which will discourage capital from coming for employ ment in this important industry.
 Perhaps the assessors did not fully realize the situation and perhaps again their action was induced by desire to join in the anti-corpora- ton howl started by the radical delegates in the Arizona constitu tional convention. or course county assessors are no more capable of making tax laws than other people and we are surprised that they shopld attempt to discourage our mineral industry at a time when it Is in such dire need of encourage ment.

violation of the Sherman law was found to exist. and the jury gave Verdict accordingly.
 This verdict will not be used by the court to punish the offenders. but to announce to them and to all labor organizations that eombina- tions by them in restraint of trade are so much in violation of the law as would be a combination by trusts and corporations. The statement that has come from the coast to the effect that there will be no i'm prisonment and only dues of $50 each should be reassuring. When a United States judge in Chicago ass essed a fine of s2s.0OO0.OOO on the Standard Oil company for violations of the sherman law he showed the enormous potentiality of the enact ment although his judgment was overthrown by a higher court.
 The time will come when the powerful capitalists. perpetrators of such a combination will be made to feel the fuli force of the law with no higher power to lift the load from their shoulders.

And what held the attention of local people was that they were supposed to be personally interested in occurrences which were about to take place within the confines of this city. Every day there has seen some of the most impossible and absurd reports circulated about town; re ports when boiled down amount to nothing but simple balderdash and unvarnished fables These choice bits of fiction seem to be the fruit of the brains of some busybody who is having a good time and at the same time furnishing the community with excitement
 How much truth there is in some of the reports is not known by us, but it suffices to state that there is livery little. If some of the reports were true the city would now be in dire straits.

LABOR COMBINATION IN VIOLATION OF LAW.

The New Orleans Picayune Tn commenting upon the circuit court decision where the Sherman Anti Trust law was applied to an or ganization involved in a labor dis pute, says:
 The conviction in the United States circuit court in this city yes terday of three labor leaders upon a charge of combining to restrain and inhibit the coaling of a steam ship in this port engaged in for eign commerce and absolutely to bar and prevent its sailing with a cargo for a foreign destination was an important event, because. if sus- tained, as doubtless it will be, it will go far to break down despot- ism which has done much in the past to obstruct the commerce of this port and to divert trade else. where.
 The prosecution was made under the Sherman law. Some three years ago the longshoremen at this port were on a strike. The steamship Hai il. of the Central American Steamship company. needed to take on coal preparatory to sailing for foreign port Members of the New Orleans Dock and Cotton coun- cil combined with members of the Coal Wheelers' union to prevent the eoaling of the said vessel until terms and rates exacted by the combina- ton were complied with.
 The agents or owners of the ship were compelled to aecede to the de- mands before the vessel was able to sail. Indictments were filed in the United States court. and they have just been bSought to trial The indictments were brought against sixty-seven members of the labor organizations and the prosecution was carried on against the defel- dants in mass. The verdict of con viction was confined to three lead ers-namely, John Byrnes. at the time the offense president of the Dock and Cotton council; Philip Pearsaw, then president of the Coal Wheelers' union; and E. s. Swan, at that time president of the negro Longshoremen's union Pearsaw and Swan are negroes.
 The right of these men to refuse to work was not contested. but when as leaders and members of several labor organizations, they had combined with the coal wheel CTS to prevent the coaling of a ship engaged in foreign commerce, but which could not sail or her voyage without the necessary coal. a com bination in restraint of trade and in

 It is our candid opinion congress will turn down Arizona's constitu- ton, no matter what political com plexion it now has or may have in the future. The old line southern democrats, always noted for conser- vatism and who will control the next congress, will not approve wild-eyed reform schemes, that are mostly fathered by schemes and rattle heads, who resort to such methods 10 get themselves into the lime-ight of public notice-we might desig- nate them as demasogues did xe care to be particularly compliment tay-but otherwise. they would scarcely be heard or thought of by the public.

THE ASSESSORS
 AND MINE TAXATION

| fhE ASSESSORS
 AND MINE TAXATION.
 The meeting last week at Phoenix
 Of the county assessors of the ter
 ritory was supposed to have been
 for the purpose of discussing matters
 pertaining to an equitable and thor ough assessment of property under
 existing law. but in this there seeems
 to have been a mistake and the ass
 essors after organizing by the cleo
 ton of John J. Birdno. of Graham county. as president. took up the question of mine taxation and in a resolution recommended that tho
 present law be amended so that
 mines should be compelled to pay tax on forty percent of their gross
 bullion output instead of paying on ly on twenty-five percent of their ONAPHN dS icAuAiO " u picScHt law. We have seen no statement from any of the assessors present at the meeting mentioned above as to why they favored the increase demanded in the taxation of mines. AS we all know there are very few gold or silver mines in Arizona which are now being worked st a profit, in fact, the extent of gold and silver mining in Arizona is not large.
 While many of these small prop critics are yielding some ore taken out as an incident of their develop ment certainly the profit in gold and silver mining in this territory l would not justify any increase in the burden of expense to be carried. l
 Copper mining is the important mineral industry in Arizona, both as to present output and prospects for future development When the pres ent mine tax law was enacted in | 1907 the quoted price of copper in New York was near 24 cents per pound, the present price of the red metal is but a shade more than | half that amount and while several i in Arizona have been com | pelled to cease production when the i price dropped below the cost entail l ed in mining. smelting and selling l the metal it would not be safe to venture an opinion as to how many i companies, large and small. are un- able to find a profit in their pres ent operations sufficient to give to the stockholders .any return on their investments. Certainly the assessor would rot desire to place an aditional burden on the mining industry of Arizona at a time when this industry above all others should be carefully nurtured and favored to the end that development now in progress shall be continued and that producing companies may be encouraged to keep the drills going in the mines and the furnaces and .converters fin commission. to the end that there may be employment
 for labor We had an example at
 Tombstone recently of what it means to discontinue work on a profitable mining enterprise. Near ly two hundred miners iH Tomb stone were deprived of employment
 by the closing of the mines of the Tombstone Consolidated Mines com
 pany after having expended several
 millions of dollars. It is to be hop
 ed that this enterprise will some day be revived again and that sue cess will come to the brave men
 who have backed it in the past, but the promise of increased taxa ton on the product of this and oth- CT mining property in Arizona will

INsoiENT OPPOSITION TO PARCELS POST.

TO PARCELS POST.
 A little jerkwater pamphlet called the Waite House Messenger" is be- jag circulated over the country. which is SC sTer-zealous in its opposition te the parcels post that any reader can al spce detect the influence of the express companies. Under the captisx of Evils of the Parcels Post" tAls bandbiIl of the express monopoly presumes to warn intelli gent retail merchants of their great Eauser in the event that the parcels post is put into operation. Here is a sample of the talk, or hectoring, di- rected toward the retail merchant:
 Dc yoo want to be crushed out of business and forced back to an iso- lated farm because your trade has been destroyed? Do you real ize wha. snch a condition would mean to your children, ready for the high school, needing the advantages of library, and open to the refining in fuence. of art, music and literature?"
 It is hard to restrain ones impa- tieuce ia the face of such extreme rot. If is impossible to detect any logic in it. except that the refining influences of art, music and literature must come by express at the usual high rates to be of benefit. In fact there is no logic in the entire oppos- ition to the parcels post, except that the express monopoly needs the eS- cessive tou it is now collecting from the loHg-suferdng public. and does not propose to give it up without a fight. involving all kinds of mis- representation and hypocritical ex- pressions of concern for the dear people. This love for the people. if we are to believe the tommyrot cir culated. has the devotion of Damon and Pythias backed of the boards. The voice of the express monopoly knows just what the people want for it concludes its lecture to the retail merchant with this order; Write your congressman and sen ators. Convince them that a parcels post is not the wish of the PEOPLE" |"
 This newspaper can assure the re- tail merchants that the people DO want the parcels post, and that it would be exceedingly unwise to op- pose tfem. We can also tell the retail merchants just what would happen if the parcels post were es- tablishes. Express charges would at once come down to a level with the postal rates, and the extortionate charges for carrying small parcels would end forever. Even now, tho cbarges are the same in the postal and express service on all merchan disc packages that will be accepted by the Yostofice. the weight of which is now limited to four pounds, and the charges st cent an ounce would Dc 64 cents. Yet a few days ago a business man of Bisbee was com pelled t. pay s215 on an express packsse from Philadelphia, because
