HUNT COUNTY OF
 STATEWIDE INTEREST

The matter of enacting into law the present bill before the legisla- ture creating the county of Hunt should be a matter of interest to every true Arizonan who takes a pride in the future of the state. This, at first, seems to be broad assertion, but it is one, nevertheless, that is literally true and easily dem onstrated Arizona's growth, as far as population is concerned, is in its infancy. We are just at the pres ent time beginning to reap some of the benefits of the great amount of free advertising we have received within the past three years. Our fight for statehood, the real pro- gressive principles embodied in our constitution, our wonderful natural resources and our great irrigation systems have all served to make us one of the most talked of peoples in in the union. If anyone doubts this fact they have but to listen to the conversation of scores of trans continental tourists enroute to the Grand Canyon that may be heard daily at the depot in Williams.
 Ask E. J. Nordyke, agent for the Grand Canyon railroad at Williams, how many people visited the Grand Canyon last year, and he will tell you that from the records of his of flee the approximate number was 34, GOO, and that this year the num- Der will probably reach 10000. In other words, the first town in Arizona at which these 10000 stop will be Williams. As has often been said, first impressions are most lasting.'' This vast number of strangers arriving in Arizona for the first time naturally form their impressions of the state from that which they first see-the town oi Williams.
 The citizens of Williams are as well, if not better aware of the as- pect the town and community pre- sent than anyone else, and they have for years appreciated its sig nifcence and consequences. One of the great incentives the county division movement had in the minds of its originators was that the creation of new county would cor rect prevailing conditions by inspir- ing local pride, which can never be otherwise aroused as long as our participation in the benefits derived from the taxes paid by us is an in- direct one.
 Pass the Hunt county bill; let Williams, the most beautifully To- cated town in the state, become a county seat; permit us to spend our own money in the improvement of our own community, and there will soon be found at the base of old Bill Williams mountain one of the cleanest, one of the most pictur- esque and one of the most thriving municipalities within the state ot Arizona one that will be credit not only to the new county's citi zenship, but to that of the new states as well.

PREJUDICED CRITICISM
 SHOWS BIASED MIND

Wise, just and temperate cIiti. cism is not only welcomed, but is generally invited by men of intelli. gence. It is through this means that mistakes are rectifed and pos- sible error in the future avoided. When, however, criticism assumes the sole form of intemperate abuse, and is coupled with a partisanshiI which precludes the possibility of discovering anything of merit in the acts of an opponent where merit ac- tually exists, criticism loses the eff cacy of it's wonted power and de- generates into the mere vaporing of a biased and prejudiced mind.
 The unfortunate extent to which partisan criticism may be carried is forcibly illustrated by the attitudes of the Prescott Journal Miner and the Tucson Citizen toward the pres- ent state administration. Governor Hunt has now been the states chief executive for over a year, and while some may differ with him regarding certain minor matters of policy, still he retains the confidence, re- spect and best wishes of all right thinking people save and except that of the editors of the two pa ,oorc r,ooptiopod
 It is a never-ceasing wonder, con- sidering the disastrous pumping these tvo papers political ideals and teachings received in the last two years, that they do not tumble to the fact that nothing is gained by everlasting raillery and abuse. The day has long since passed when any appreciable portion of the public ac- cepts as fact the unsupported vii imperative statement of a partisan organ. If the Journal-Miner and the Citizen doubt this fact, let them reflect but a moment that at this good hour President Cunniff and Senators Wood, Hughes and Wors- ley, men from their own counties whom they have violently opposed with ridicule and invective, are ably and satisfactorily fulfilling the du- ties of office at Phoenix; that there is at present solid democratic ad- ministration at Phoenix composed of mon whom they have persist ently opposed, and whom they even now oppose while those same men are engaged in the laudable task of making good; that there are two able United States senators now in Washington -one from Prescott and one from Tucson whom they have, in season and out of season, scold- ed, ridiculed, maligned and abused :; and that, finally, Woodrow Wilson, with whom they have also in their devious and peculiar manner diff fered, today is president of the United States of America.
 If the foregoing is not sufficient,
 we might with propriety cite other instances which would have ten dency to prove the fact that it is as difficult now to ''kick against the prieks' as it was in days of long ago.

The boundary line of the pro- posed new county of Hunt has been described upon two different occa- sions in bills passed by the house of representatives There should be little excuse for anyone at all inter ested in the matter mistaking the same. Especially is this true with reference to any man or set of men who presume to appear before a joint committee of the legislature as advocates either for or against the division of Coconino county.
 Yet, it now develops that the sta tistical estimate of the taxable val ues that would be contained within the limits of the proposed new county of Hunt submitted to the joint committee of the legislature by opponents of county division are based upon false conception of the eastern boundary line of the pro- posed new county
 The estimates supplied the com mittee by our friends from the east end are based upon line running at or near Maine, whereas the line described in the Hunt county bill described in the Hunt county bill is located about one mile east of Bellemont.
 The area embraced in this ''mis- take'' is simply a small matter of some five hundred and four square miles of territory, and in which is situated one of the largest and fin est bodies of privately owned stand ing timber in the state, a number of the best ranches in the county, sev- eral of the largest sheep outfits in the north, seven miles of the main line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, the whole of the Saginaw and Southern railroad and

HERE IS THE REASON
 THE CHIP AND THE BUG

The fierce opposition the proposed division of Coconino county has in spired in the eastern end of the county has, in some respects, been matter of wonder. At the outset we were told by citizens of Flagstaff it was a matter of indifference to them; that a division of the county would be a good thing, since nearly the whole of the criminal docket of the county originated in Wil-- jams, the cost of criminal prosecu- tions would thereby be reduced to a minimum. An examination of the criminal docket for the year 1911 disclosed the fact that the eastern end of the county furnished FIFTEEN PER CENT more crim- inal cases for the docket than did the western end, and nothing fur ther has since been heard of the first, original and only argument advanced by the east end of tie county in favor of division.
 What, then, is the real cause of opposition to the Hunt county bill? It is this: If the Hunt county bill becomes a law, and if precedents heretofore established are pursued especially that when Coconino, it self, was severed from Yavapai-- the new county of Hunt WILL BE EMITTED TO 45 PER CENT OF THE CASH IN THE TREASURY OF CoCoNINo CoUN- TY WHEN THE SEPARATION TAKES PLACE, In other words, Hunt county would re- reive from Coconino coun- ty the sum of $40, 800 in cash were the division to occur today when there is approximately $9O,O00 in the vaul of the treasury. This $40, 800 would enable Hunt county to erect court house without levy ing cents taxes for that purpose
 Yea, Bo!" remarks our pessimis- tic friend from Flagstaff; ''but how about the bonded indebtedness? Ou WOulu nave uo assume your 10 per cent of that $1590OO, wouldn't |you?"
 True, brother; but did you ever stop to consider the fact THAT HUNT COUNTY WOULD BE ENTITLED TO A CREDIT OF 45 PER CENT OF THE VALUE OF ALL COUNTY PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE EASTERN END OF CoCoNINo COUNTY? Do you also know that after allowing this credit on our pro rata of the bonded debt (ac- cording to the valuations placed on county property by the supervisors annual reI Iort for 1911), that the bonded indebtedness Hunt county would be called upon to assume would be the insignificant sum of $39,OOO?
 Hunt county would, theIefore, be entitled to over $4O,OOO in cash, and would assume only $39,000 of the bonded indebtedness.
 Here, then, is the identical chip and benea h it is the identical bug. Look at itl
