Last year we sang Xmas cheer all the
year. How many have had it, nearly
all who tried, if they tried right. We
have enjoyed more of it than any one
year before, it seems to us like the
shortest year we ever lived. The
consciousness of duty well performed
is song to the soul at midnight.
Every friend we meet and every favor

While every opponent we meet and
every offence we get will only serve

and happiness. So don't be discOurag-

Beware of Ointment for Catarrh That
Contains Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such

on prescriptions from reputable

is ten fold to the good you can posi-
bly, derive from. Halls Catarrh Cure,

is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces

If the People Knew

The Republican is interested in the real estate business of this valley to this extent: It desires that it shall be made known to strangers that wonderful opportunities in the city and the country are awaiting them,- such opportunities, we believe, as can be found nowhere else in this coun- try.
 Considering the quality of the land, the prices of it's products and the good and rapidly growing market for them, such an absolute certainty of an adequate water supply for them putting the possibility of crop fail ure out of the question: the prices of land here are lower than anywhere else in the United States. We know of no other town where, considering all that goes to make up their value, the prices of business and residence property are so reasonable as they are in Phoenix and the surrounding towns of Mesa, Tempe and Glendale.
 For many years values fluctuated and until within the last five years, the best prices were based upon pros poets which have been much more than realized As late as five years ago the most loyal Phoenician, the most faithful and imaginative citizen would not have ventured to predict

 patented producing mines of the Unit cd Verde company. Prior to this time the board had also met and made a re- duction of the same patented produc- ing mines. The state claims that the first reduction was the only one the county board had the power to make, and that the second reduction was un lawful. Therefore it is sought to com pei the county board to put back the amount subtracted from the duplicate tax rolls.
 The contention of the defense is that the temporary alternate writ of man damus is not the proper action that should be brought, that the county board at it's August meeting regardless of the fact that the stat had already announced the tax rate, met in pursu- ance of the law to make a final action upon such matters as remained over from the July meeting and to review the actions of the state board which had been transmitted to it by the state board authorities and upon which no meeting could be held prior to the date upon which the county board met; all these things being true a writ of cer- tiorari asking for a court review of the action of the county board should have been asked for, and not a writ of mandamus which would seek to com pei them to undo an action in which they had every legal right in the first place. The county attorney from Va vapai contended that the county board had every right to review the action

that so much would come to pass as all of us have now witnessed.
 Those of us who were conservative and even skeptical have been filled with new faith in Phoenix. More has happened in year than we ex- pected to see in ten years and now with a clearer vision we see that Phoenix is only in the beginning Strangers cannot realize this as we do. If they could there would be a movement to the valley resembling the rush which attends the opening of rich tract of government land tc entry.

of the state board in so far as it af- fected the assessments in that county. He denied that one reduction alone could be made, that since the state board could make changes in the indi- Vidual assessments without disturb ing the aggregate and transmit them to the county board, that body could make the action as far as the county and state rate in that county went. If it could meet to raise it could also low CT, since the law was silent upon the actual functions of the board after it met pursuant to the law. He showed the conflict of dates in the law regu- lating the functions of the state and county boards of equalization It ap- pears that in setting the date for the announcement of the state rate, the authors of the fiscal piece of legisla- tiOn set it upon the same time that the county board of equalization was meet ing to clear up the July business. This mistake did not do away with the functions of the county board. An action taken legally could not be un- done by a mandamus only by a writ of review.
 When the whole matter was over a little back tracking was done by those interested and it was found that Sena- tor C. B. Wood was practically the author of the board of equalization bill, in fact he was it's sponsor and worked hard for it's passage. If then the state is deprived of the revenue from the amount counted upon but reduced by the action of the county board, providing the court upholds the county board will not the Maricopa county senator be responsible for the loss of revenue If not directly will he be considered so indirectly?

A Sordid Affair

The revolution is all over, said General Emilio Campa, in jail at Tue son. There is nothing to keep up the revolution" admitted General Campa with amazing frankness, The country has been pretty well gone over and between the federals and the insurgents there is not great deal left"
 So according to this redoubtabIe general who claims to have started the revolution. there was noth- ing left to fight for and he decided to abandon the country which had been milked dry.
 So, We see. so far as this particu- lar patriot is concerned, the revolu- ton was a sordid affair. Do not the original grievances, if there were any, remain unredressed? Have the rights for which the revolutionists told us with Mexican grandioquence they were fighting been restored to the people? Has anything been set tied by the revolution? Or is it that the revolutionary leaders have found that the war has become no longer remunerative? It seems to have reached such a stage of unprosperity that General Campa found that he could make more money practicine medicine
 We had a revolution in this coun- try once There was a matter oi money mixed up in the causes,-tht payment of certain taxes but that in itself was not an essential matter It was not the amount of the taXe! but the manner in which they were wrung from the people that pre- cipitated the disturbance. There was great principle of government in volved.
 The British quickly took possession of all the cities where what little wealth there was in the colonies was concentrated The rest of the coun- try was overrun in turns by royalists and revolutionists until there wa. mot a great deal left" From Gen eral Campa's point of view, there was nothing to keep up the revolu- ton" But from the colonists' poin of view there was everything to keeI it up that there had been in the be ginning There were all the origina grievances to which had been added many others after the outbreak O the war. The great principle fo, which the revolutionists were fight ing had not yet been recognized b, England.
 That the country was impoverished and that the soldiers of the Con tinental army were without food an, clothing and that their feet lef bloody tracks at Valley Forge wer no arguments for abandoning the re volution. Our forefathers had no engaged in the war for food an, raiment or that they might be com fortably shod
 If all the leaders of the Mexican revolution have taken the same viey of it that General Campa takes nov it was doomed from the beginning

The new fee system adopted by the legislature is being denounced every where as unfair and discriminatory, possessing two advantages one of which it ought not to possess. In the end it will increase the aggregate of fees. many litigants paying for un- rendered service. The other advant- age is a simplification of the book keeping of clerks of courts A liti- gant if he be a plaintiff cannot get into superior court without the pay ment of $1O and. if a defendant, without the payment of 8. In many cases under the old system the fees would not amount to that much while in many other cases they would amount to more. Thus those whose cases are simpler must pay in part for the litigation of others whose cases are more important and com plicated. The legislature with as much reason could have fixed a standard monthly grocery bill for all citizens of Arizona.
