EIGHT HOUR LAW FOR WOMEN.


 FOR WOMEN.
 The bill before the legislature pro hibiting the employment of women for more than eight hours in one day, if enacted and it worked here like il did in Caliofrnia, would deprive many women and girls of their present em- ployment.
 Except in the mines and at reduc. ton works there is no law limitations or the number of hours men may work. If women are to be restricted to eight hours then all the men should be SO restricted, otherwise there will not be an even chance for women to hold their positions in hotels. res taurants. stores, printing offices and in other places where they are worked.
 It has been suggested in the legis- lature that the socialists and labor uhionists are pushing the eight houl law for women so that the opportu- nify of men to secure the employment now held by women in the state will he made easier.
 Many women telegraph and tele- phone operators were driven from the state of California by the enaction of the eight-hour law in that state and there places were hlled by pen, not under any limitation Of hours which they might work.
 We know Of one woman now re csiying s125 per month as cashier and boobkeoper who could not dc the work every day in eight hours; it might be possible for her to complete the required work some days in eight hours, but there would be many days when she could not; does anyone doubt that this lady would not be in danger of losing a position which the law forbids her to fill sufficiently?
 This proposed eight hour law would force tbe stores and all industrial shops where women are employed to open at 9 o'clock in the morning and close at 3 in the afternoon, or replace ;he women clerks with men. Wha, course would a merchant pursue in 6 mining camp like Bisbee with nor, than one thousand men coming from their work through the city OF theil way home at o'clock in the after noon?
 In the Review office two Of the lin otype fierce are women. During th' week both are often asked to worI from one to two hours overtime. Fo thc overtime they are paid an in crease of fifty percent Of the regulal wage scale. With the woman eigh hour law the Review would be forced to employ another operator which  does not need and the present em ployes would be deprived of the priv Hege Of increasing their pay check bl overtime work.
 Jf the women are to De proitibite from working more than eight hour per day. then if women are to stan cn an equality with the men in tn struggle for sustenance then the lar win have to De made to apply | men as we'll as women

 The petition from Florence pub lished in the Democrat today sets up a eseTious condition Of affairs. but it must not be charged wholly to Gov ernor Hunt. The governor .s human, and like ali other men make mistakes, and we believe hIs prison reform theo- ries are not in harmony with the view s of the people of this state. On the oth- CT hand we do not beiievs that Gov ernor Hunt would tolerate for 2 mo meut the conditions set out by that Florence petition were he cognizant of the facts in the case. A man at tbe head of affairs in this state cannot attend to all the details Of the bust ness of the state. These must Of a necessity be left iR the hands of his appointees. and had the citizens o' Florence months ago called the gov ernor's attention to these things. we feel that he would have far a step to ,t at once.

equalizing board with full power over all assessed values and in fixing the .ax rates
 We regard this as concentration or power that has no place in system Of bcme-rule government where the people are supposed to rule Under the provisions of this bill a county as- sesscr would have no mere to say about the values to be placed on prop erty listed than the man in the moon
 The danger of such a law may not be encountered under the present tax commission. or the next on e, bq, what might happen to the state should the state tax commission te controlled in the future by an itch. ing palm if it is permitted to have absolute control over all other as sessment authorities in the state To our mind it would be much better in so important a matter as the assess rnent of the property of the state to have cheeks and limitations on those who perform the work ard certainly the equalization og the assessment should be by someone ether than the one who makes the assessment. The county boards ef supervisors should equalize and fix the valuations in the several counties anG the state board of equalization should equaIize the valuation as between the several coun- ties and classes.
 Recently the state tax commis- sion issued it's order fixing the valua- lions to be used by the county as- sessors in making their assessme nts this year. We do not believe these values will be just alike in all sec. lions of the state. Take the valuation ordered to be placed on range cattle which is S25 per head. According to recent sales cattle have sold for that urfce and are worth it when loaded on the cars for shipment But this value would not be equal on all own CTS for the reason that some cattle are on ranges near the railroad load
 ing pens whTe others are in the mountains far away from any rail road. thus causing a heavy expense in gathering and driving them to the railroads where they must Bo taken before they can be sold at any price Such property is more CT less yalua' iBe according to it's nearnegs to mar ' ket and according to the character of the market available.
 ! No one in Arizona may now know who will compose the state tax com mission in the future, so we say that the wise thing to do in the matter o reyenue law would be to provide definite system for arriving at prop
 erty valuations and leave the respoh liability on the county ofieais as now
 and providing for state equalization
 hoard as the final arbiter in vaiua
 lions.
