New York, May 1.-Wholesale and
retail prices Of beef have reached the
highest point in twenty years in this
city. Prices have been climbing stead
ily for three weeks. Packers say that
with corn selling at 81 cents a bushel
farmers are not feeding cattle.
Potatoes are selling at record prices
also, and scarcity Of production is
given as the cause. A Washington
market dealer said today that If il had
not been for the importation Of the low
grade English potatoes recently there
would have been a potato famine in
New York. No reduction in the present
price Of potatoes is expected until June
when the crop Of Norfolk potatoes will
come in

PRACTICAL PRISON REFORM

Illuminating were the remarks of Governor West, of Oregon, on the in humanity of man to man in discussing the prison system recently. He ad- mits that in his long battle for reform he has met with some disappointments but he says he has been repaid thou sand fold by his work in trying to give unfortunates Han equal chance"
 There are three classes of crimin- als,'' declares the Governor; "degen- crates for whom there is little hope, criminals from choice, invariably bright men whom it is possible to re- form, and the most unfortunate of all, the fellows good at heart, but led by circumstances to commit crime. These last are the ones I trust fully. I get them away from the institution as quickly as I can find them positions and literally give them freedom.
 There is no law in Oregon that per mits me to do the seemingly irregular things I do, but also there is no law that says I shall not do them"
 The efficacy of Governors West 5 system is evidenced by the fact that of 462 men now paying the penalty of wrongdoing in Oregon, 200 are outside of institutions earning their liveli- hoods and supporting their families.
 And the moral of it all lies in the Governors own words: You will never have any success with prison

GIVE IT A FAIR TRIAL
(Oasis, NogaleS)

(Oasis, NogaleS)
 Among the propositions presented in the message of Governor Hunt to the Arizona legislature is one to re- organize the board equalization and substitute in it's stead a tax commis- sion to be appointed by the executive. The Oasis believes that one of the re- concentrations of his excellency which can be ignored.
 In Arizona there has been long an insistent demand for board of equal ization to consist of the chairmen of the county boards. The argumen for such a board was that coming fresh from the work of equalization in the varius counties such a board would be more familiar with property values and could adjust assessments of like property in all the counties so there would not be the great discrepancies that have been prevalent heretofore. That idea prevailed in the constitu- tional convention and the instrument framed by that body created a beard equalization to meet the long insis- tent demand. Now, before that board has been organized and given fair trial, Governor Hunt proposes con- stitutional amendment which will make another change as described. His proposition is that embodied in the Wisconsin plan, where it is said to have worked well; but only be- cause the appointing power of such a commission rested in Robert B. La Toilette, an incorruptible governor.
 The old board of equalization that Arizona had in territorial days was nothing but a tax commission, ap- pointed by the governor. It was the same instrument now proposed by Governor Hunt only under another name After long trial that has been done away and there has been creat- ed by the people another and entirely different body to discharge the duty wherein the commission form had failed. Before going back to the old system Arizona should make a fair trial of the new one embodied in the constitution and see how that will work. Give it a fair trial.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-04-05

hibited by the constitution. Why should the newspapers of Arizona be singled out for such a purpose? The newspapers of Arizona have been honest always in discussing the pub lie questions that have been present. ed in Arizona. If the patrons of the newspapers do not like the policies advocated they have the remedy with in their own hands to discontinue the subscription just as the patron of the grocery store may trade some where else if the quality of the goods do not suit.
 The newspapers of Arizona have done a great deal more in the work of developing the industries of Arizona, by publishing the advantages to be found here than any politician who has become sore because of the fact that his virtues have not attracted attention and recommendation in their columns.
 So far as the Douglas Daily Interna- tional is concerned it has no business | secrets. It has but three stockhold- CTS and it owes no debts. The stock holders are Geo. H. Kelly, Alice V. Kelly and c. B. Bull. Why not con- pei the newspapers to give the names, of it's patrons as well as those who help to sustain it. To our mind if it be true that what the governor calls spe- cial interests have at times helped out some poor newspaperman who had be- come involved in debt in his effort to build up Arizona and protect it against the exploitation by the politicians, this act was one of philanthropy and showed a desire to contribute to the welfare of Arizona
 The legislature may do what it will regarding this recommendation of the governor, but to our, mind it is an un- called for thrust at the newspaper of the state and without any cause.

THE SOAP BOX PRIMARY
(N. Y. American)

Those who are fighting for direct primaries to express the Presidential preferences and other preferences of the people have been universally eag- CT and anxious to surround these pri- maries with the legal safeguards that MT. Taft so smoothly recommends. They have, in fact, tried everywhere to get the kind of primaries that MT. Taft professes to want.
 Wherever they have failed to get them they have failed because the kind of people Mr. Taft represents have stood in the way If, for exam pie, legally proper kind of primary that the President approves with his lips now actually exists in Massachus- setts, the fact is notorious that it ex- ists not because of MT. Taft and his friends, but in spite of them.
 Thus MT. Taft's love fo popular primaries, even of the most perfectly legalized pattern, is too cool and plat onic to be convincing. Obviously, he is, at heart, entirely willing that the professional politicians and the "con- servative" interests behind them shall speak for the people.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-04-05
COUNTY DIVISION
Stafford Guardian)

The present legislature is in a posi- tion to make a fatal mistake in the numerous propositions that will come before it for county division
 Petitions will be presented for the division of several counties, and as a rule, will be inaugurated by disap- pointed politicians or special inter- eStS.
 Our state government cannot help but increase tax burdens to some eX- tent for the next year or two. There is no earthly reason for adding to this burden by dividing up the counties.
 When county is populous enough and has wealth enough to support two counties, and it's division means great CT convenience to the majority of the people the county should be divided. But at the present time the Democrat ic legislature should inspect condi- tions and motives very carefully be- fore dividing any county.
