STILL CRYING OVER 4st SPLIT MILK. q sTt !

SPLIT MILK. z sffe srs
 Republicans continue to "cry over split milk, and speculate on what might have been had there been no division of republican strength in the recent election. It is assumed by some of the more confident that the defeat came from what occurred in Chicago when the convention accelerated the party division and brought about the candidacy of both President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt It is al. right for the followers of Taft to put the blame of the party wreck on the Bull Moose if they so desire. but ,n this they are foofing no one but themselves assum- ing that they are honest in this con- ;eation. However. the fact, that Presi- dent Taft was dead one from the day he signed the Payne-Aldrich tariff re- vision bill which was so palpabiy a fake measure that everybody could understand, which was such a rank betrayal of the people that it spread anger and disgust throughout the country.
 | The approval of the Payne-Aldrich upward revision of the tariff was the signal for open revolt against the ad. ministration among republicans in both 6ouse and senate and had Presi dent Taft received tbe nomination of his party without protest from Roose' 1 welt the result would have been to have increased the vote for Woodrow Wilson by several million while any additional votes cast for Taft woul' not have prevented his overwhelming defeat.
 The attempt now being made U.
 some of the republican leaders
 including President Taft, to brinI

ANOTHER MEXICO PROMISE GIVEN.

Word comes from Fl Paso that the Mexican federal army has given out the announcement that the re- raa;ning rebel bands in the state of Chihuahua are to be rounded up or annihilated "muy pronto." or in oth CT words with great haste. So many similar announcements since the be ginning of the orozco revolution have heen followed by increased inactivity that nc one will be impressed with the present. and last declaration. General salazar reported to have only about 500 men following him, has been pursuing his work ef loot. ing ranches and small towns in west ern Chihuahua ever since he was run out of Sonora more than two months ago. Notwithstanding the fact that his whereabouts have been known and the further fact that ir the state of Chihuahua during this time there has been several thousand idle federal soldiers, taking their ease and tortillas and beans at tho garri- sons at Chihuahua City and Juarez, no attempt to capture Salazar or hin der him in his campaign of robbery has been undertaken.
 It has been thus since the Orozco revolution was begun. When the rebels were near the federals were idle and showing no disposition oI desire to attack. Rebel leader Ro jas at one time came within sigh of Agua Prieta and made faces fol three days at the large federal gar rison there under Gen. Sanjines ana finally marched away without even al attempt being made to engage him ieojas could have been easily cap tured with his entire command. 9th e. such fragrant incompetency of tn; Mexican army has been 80 frequen as to create the well warranted i'm pression that regardless of the desirt 
 of President Msdero his army doe not intend to disturb the rebels n' matter how much trouble they mak for those who desire to pursue thei industries and enterprises in peace.

A few days after the election the report came from oysted Bay to the effect that Colonel Roosevelt would make a statement regarding election results as soon as full returns were ' received. That was a month ago and notwithstanding the fact that the bal lots were counted weeks ago and the vote of the several candidates known Colonel Roosevelt remains silent no doubt to the chagrin of Bull Moose leaders Of lesser caliber who continue to assert that the new party will re main and continue the fight for great CT strength in the future.

 Watch gas jets, Decorations may be carried against them by air cur rents.

 ! Do not decorate your Christmas | tree with paper. cotton. Or any other ! anflammable material Use metallic tinseI and other non-inflammable dec orations only, and set the tree securely so that the children in reaching fol things cannot tip it over.
 Do not use cotton to represent snow. 1T you must have snow use as bestos fiber.
 "Do not permit children to light oI relight the candles while parents ar' net present. They frequently set fir to their clothing instead. The tree 1t self will burn when needles have be come dry.

ARIZONA TAX LAW IS IMPORTANT.

An article in one of the Phoenix papers states that the state tax com rnissioners are now devoting most of their time in preparing a state revenue law which they believe should be passed by the legislature. The same paper says that the commissioners do not contemplate making any radical changes in the laws as they stand, most of their work being the correc- tion of minor errors and that when the revised laws are complete they will be about as they are now.
 Which may be assumed to mean that the tax commission regards the pres ent arbitrary and siip-shod method of taxing mines in Arizona as sufficient. Whatever may be said of this method t provides a reason for the contin' uance of the high-salaried tax com mission and this is a consideration moi to be overlooked b. the commission With d fixed and definite method writ tea into the statues for the taxation of mining and railroad property Ari 2ona would have no more use for 2 tax commission costing probably twenty-five thousand dollars yeal than pig has need for the curl in it' tsu. is i" .f

 THE GIN TOTER
THE GUN TOTER. -lAriZnna RnnmhlIcanl


 The Bisbee Review moved by re- cent unprovoked murder at Huachuca siding a few days ago joins in the demand for more stringent laws against concealed weapons. In this case the murder was solely traceable 10 the circumstance, that the mur- derer, cowboy who had recently come to the state from Texas had a gun hardy Arizona cowboys have little use for guns and do not as a rule carry them when about their regular work. The Republican few days ago printed story of an incl dent on a range. wHen it was desired to shoot at a wild beast and the as founding discovery was made that not a man in the large outfit was armed.
 The Review would have law mak- ing it an offense to sell revolver to any man without a special permit from d peace officer or some other designated authority to purchase it That would help some, but % rigid enforcement of a stiff law against the gun toter would be more effective. If magistrates would always i'm nose the seYerest possible penalty against every man caught carrying a gun, and commit him to jail there would he fewer guns carried. The practice has generally been to consid. CT that probably tho gun toter means no harm; he has killed nobody yet So he is let of with nominal fine. The act of carrying gun Is an ofiense that in every case should be

 Congressman warburton asserts in defense of his measure that history has shown that the taxation of a lux. ury does. not decrease its consump ton. He says he chose tobacco as the luxury to be taxed for road building purposes because it is more widely used than any other and the resulting decrease in it's use would work no harm.
 This measure was presented to the board of trade at Phoenix last week and was endorsed. It will likely be submitted to commercial organizations and good roads boosters throughout the country. This paper is heartily in favor of national highways, but would suggest that other hixuries such as liquors and wines, might well be called on to contribute a portion of the cost

AN ADVANCED CITY.

The prevalent idea has been that a city must be operated at dead ex. pense, although made up of going concerns and of paying property. That there must be waste in "everybody's business" and resultant indebtedness has been commonly accepted. But evi- deutly :t is an error to believe that a city cannot, as a business enterprise. make money, and an error to be con tent with q city government that does not so much as pull even"
 In the current number of the Worlds Work a brief article is devoted to a city that paid a dividend The con- mon council of Fargo. N. D.-by the way is the East as progressive as the West?-has declared a dividend Of six and one-halr per cenG and dis tributed it among taxpayers.
 Mayor Sweet was a harness dealer before he became mayor. His concep tion of a businesslike administration was one that paid instead of making debts for running eXpenses plus pub. lie improvement In September, 1912, when the fiscal year closed, Fargo had on hand, in the contingent fund, S12,0OO, made up of surplus trans ferred from the various departments
 The existence of a surplus that could be divided among the taxpayers was
 due to the fact that the administra tion had adopted a plan of taxation
 that divided burdens equally. Public service corporations were assessed a
 the actual value of their property. fol ! the first time, and were taxed at the same rate as that paid by indiyidua property owners. Heavy license feet
 were imposed upon itinerant ped dlors who had formerly occupied tn, streets and competed with local en : terprise free of charge Circases ant I other itinerant shows were charge
