RECKLESS ExTRAvAeANcE.

The Douglas International (DemO- cratic) says: During the sessions of the legislature of the past spring and summer the Daily International pro- tested many times against what we re- garded as the most reckless extrava- gance in providing needless expense which would have to be made with money wrung from the property inter- ests of the state, large and small. We objected to the tax commission on the ground that no duty could be imposed on such a body that could not be well performed by the state board ofequali- zation provided by the constitution. The ordering of larger assessments for the mining corporations could expense of $20,000 per year for a tax commission. The same as to the land commission. That commission has no duty to perform but to learn of the character of the public land in the state and it's worth. Aside from the cultivated valleys where water has been obtained and for irrigation there are two classes of area in Arizona mountains and semi-arid valleys There can be no material variation in these two divisions of domain. One ed all the data that will be required for intelligent action by the next legis- lature in providing for disposition of the public lands of the state, either by sale or lease. The same as to the mining inspector. We doubt if one man could find duties to require his full time in making examination of the physical conditions of the mines of the state where machinery is employ ed. Instead of a mine inspector, the legislature provided for the inspector, two assistants and besides a $2400 clerk. With this number of inspect ors we doubt if therewill be materially changed conditions in the mines of the state in the future from what has ob- tained in the past.

Dubuque Qowa) Telegraph-Herald (dem.-DemO, June 2S.-This newspa- per happens to know that MT. Bryan had it in mind long time to make Q speech, after three or four ballots were taken, designed to unite the Progressives on a particular candid ate and thus secure his nomination. It is wholly creditable that before de- ciding whom he should support he de cided to put the several candidates to the acid test. He knew that the pro- posal to make Parker temporary chairman would present at once an is sue between the Progressive and Reac- tionary wings of the party, and that the man who should fail to make the test, by standing with the Progressiv es, was not the man for him to sup port with a speech in his behalf. Ac cordingly MT. Bryan telegraphed sev- eral men, all of them mentioned as Presidential or Vice-PreSidential pos abilities, and all of those replying on- ly one did not sidestep. He was Gov ernor Wilson. |. These lines are writ ten before the convention has picke ed a nominee and seem pertinent al the moment as reminding of the politi- cal genius of Bryan, who found a way to smoke out all the candidates be- fore picking his man.

THE TAXATION OF MINES.

The taxation of producing mines Arizona, and the mining smelling machinery in connection herewith still remains vexatious question Commissioner Howe stated everlasting truth when he said: Tt is mposs correct ad va1orem valuation producing mine The is plain No into the ground The valuation of producing mining caim measured by it's surface is guess work and simple. The most equitable of producing mining company must be based the bullion product of that company The bullion is the only tangible evidence of it's worth and find the Commission adopting this rule in fixing va
 atons mining claims owned by producing mining panes We contend that this procedure in the mining companies in Arizona is that be laid down by the Legislature and that the Tax Commission is Board created at great of sal aries traNelng whose duties be equally
 well performed by State Board of Equalization. The Tax Commission has not made personal inspection of the personal property of the mining companies Neither they underground examination of the mines They have confined their to the County Equalization the State Board Equaza- information contaied in the reports the mining companies file with the State Auditor. With equitable and uniform method of assessing min ing companies Arizona enacted into law the State Tax Commission could be easily dispensed with.

two weeks ago and there it was stated
that Illinois was Z7th in the matter OF
excellent roads. Moline has raised d
fund of $4,000 for road improvement
and it was urged that Rock Island
make a similar move. The commit
tee looked up the roads leading from

street is out of the question. Twelfth
street is paved to Eighteenth avenue,
and macadam road has been laid to
the cemetery, leaving practically two
additional miles 70 be improved to the

for the improvement OF Twelfth street.
