And we should. be especially
thankful that the Internal Social
lists didn't elect Gene Debs.
Also that we will get most of
the postoffices- provided we
don't fall down on the Civil
Service examination.
We should be thankful that we
found enough money in the
Treasury to give us a good run
ning-go, so that we can jump
still farther into the sea of Dem
ocratic extravaganza.
We should be thankful for the
Underwood-Simmons low tariff
law.
We should be thankful that
Secretary Bryan is still able to
talk, and that his chaw-talk-way
money enables him to squeeze
along through life with the aid of
his $12, 600 a year salary. And
now that the banquet season is
here, Bryan may get a few meals
thrown in. Every little bit helps.
We should be thankful for a
Congress that don't have to stop
to get it's breath.
Also it is a matter of thankful
ness that we are to have two new
battleships a year, and maybe
three. Why not make it forty
leven?
We should be thankful that the
Mexicans are too busy at home to
come over here on a visit.
We should be thankful that
New York now has a Roman
Catholic governor.
And by all means we must be
thankful that the pope's sore toe
is getting better and will soon be
ready for us to kiss some more.
We should be thankful that
religion continues to be the best
cloak for c1ssedness.
We should be thankful that
Theodore Roosevelt is in South

necessary for an economical and
businesslike management of af-
fiars now, it is proposed to re-
duce the rate only by one-third,
while the valuation has been null
tiplied by two and half.
Taxpayers next November will
almost certainly inquire whether
that has been necessary, and, If
so, why? They will want to
know if 81, 26O, 600, the amount
raised by taxation last year, in
addition to receipts from other
sources, was sufficient to run the
government, what exigency has
made it necessary to raise$2, 100,- :
600 this year.
While the present tax law was
pending, an amendment was sug-
gested, extending the application
of the budget system, to the
state, as provision had been
made for it in cities and counties.
The reply was offered that it was
not practicable, though why not,
was not stated. 1t is not deemed
inapplicable in the state of New
York, whose affairs are somewhat
more extensive and complicated
than our own and where a bill
providing for it has been intro
duced in the legislature. 1t is
thought that it might be applied
to the national government to
advantage, especially for the ell
imination of the pork barrel. If
so, why may it not be made a
part of Arizona's fiscal system.
Sometime the taxpayers will in
insist that it shall be. Az. Re-

TRUTHFUL PUBLICITY
A DUTY PERFORMED
(San Antonio Express,

A decision rendered a short
time ago by a New York court
that when newspaper exposes
corrupt or dishonest methods
whereby the public becomes a
sufferer, the paper is not only
acting clearly within it's rights as
a medium of news, but it is full
filling it's mission and perform
ing a duty imposed upon it by
reason of the nature of its pur-
pose, is a recognition of the free
dom of the press that is too often
denied by state statutes.
1t is suggested by the decision
that so long as a newspaper is
prompted by no motive except to
publish the truth, it should not
be subject to annoyance because
it tells a truth that may be un-
pleasant to some and may result
in financial loss to others who are
thereby prevented from making
money dishonesty. Good bus
iness," it is pointed out, need
have no fear of honest publicity"
and to this might have been added
that neither has good politics any,
thing to fear from truthful pub
licity. Arizona Gazette.

Go Thou and Do Likewise.

From the St. Johns Herald we
learn that Apache county is max
ing ready to spend considerable
on its roads. Grading and NOV
ing of 1000 cubic yards of dirt
in the Beach Mesa between St.
Johns and the Mesa, also $4,000
square yards of malipais, for a
distance of five miles, and also
the clearing and grading of the
descent from Black Mesa near
Concho; also the removal of 8, 900
cubic yards of dirt on Mr.. AL
bright's place between ST. Johns
and Springerville. Apache coun-
ty officials are doing the needed
and proper thing. 1t will pay
many fold. Navajo county will
some day touch over the road be-
tween Snowflake and Holbrook.

Tax Rate and Valuations.

The Pinal county valuation of
property for taxable purposes
this year is $18, 100000. 1t was
$4,000, 900 last year, so that there
has been an increase of 1876 the
valuation of a year ago. The tax
rate last year was SO. 1t is
hoped that it may be reduced this
year to $1.20. But that depends
upon the state tax rate which it
is thought will be about 60 cents.
What is true of Pinal county
is true, in some degree, of every
county. In Maricopa, the valua-
ton has been considerably more
than doubled by the new system
of making assessments, and in a
smaller part in the national
growth of values. In the mining
counties the increases in valuation
for taxable purposes have been
sharper. The average valuation
throughout the state will be two
and one-half times the valuation
last year. The rates in the coun-
ties will be limited be law. In
each county the rates cannot be
greater than is necessary to raise
a tax on property which shall not
exceed by more than ten per cent
the amount raised the preceding
year. But the rate will be put
at a limit, we believe, in all the
counties.
There will be no limitations of
the state rate, but it is assumed
that it will be not less than 60
cents. 1t was 90 cents last year,
and on a valuation of $40, 0OO,-
600 an amount was raised that
was believed to be more than was

Gov. Brewer of Mississippi is
model executive for states
where there is only one political
party and where corruption,
graft and direct theft have been
found. In Mississippi there has
been a career of graft that has
been real theft. That State has
been robbed of a million in its
convict department.
Governor Brewer is a man who
absolutely refuses voIuUnc
theft or to conceal graft. Men
of high standing have robbed
the state. The usual pleas of
good family" )" high connec-
tions" and all that have been
used in vain with him. He has
announced that theft is theft
and those who committed it shall
be exposed. He is pressing his
rascals so closely that they are
confessing, and men of high de-
gree will be convicts in the pen

Jack Graney and Larry"
Cleveland, May 6.-The Cleveland
Maps are nightly encouraged. Their
mascot. the bulldog Larry, is back in
their collective bosom, wagging his
tail violently with joy, and they all are
convinced that Cleveland is going to
have a successful season in the Amer
lean league.
Larry first made his official appear
ance early in February, when outfield-
err Jack Graney appeared in training
quarters at Pensacola with Larry in
tow. Larry Immediately was adopted
as official mascot. He was one of the
most popular members of the squad
and did more training than any of the
players, running after the ball as it
was tossed from hand to hand, chas-
ing his numerous masters rou the
bags, and frolicking with anyone
playfully inclined.
When the Maps got back to. Cleve-
land, however, Larry was set upon by
Prince liunley, chief bellhop at one
OF h hotels. He claimed that Larry
was his. and had been stolen last fall.
He took the matter to court. The
judge, not only a. just man, but one
mindful of the well-being of the Maps.
awarded Larry to the team.
Thereupon, the Maps went out and
licked the eternal daylights out of the
Detroit Tigers, who happened to he in
town at the time. Larry sat on the
bench through it all, wagging all ov-
er in ecstasy and barking as loud "A

h dates remain the Same as be-
o with the preliminary races on

and finals on Saturday, May "a. The
management was compelled to make
this change on account of the unex
pectedly large number OF entries from
HI various schools. as We'll as the
large number OF teams entering. This
change is most satisfactory to South
Dakota athletes, since the former ar
rangement would have compelled
them to run the state races on Fri

much classier meet. better for the
athletes. n more exciting from the
standpoint of the spectator. The rec
ords made by the South Dakota COL

conferences will be counted as state
records. and thus the continuity Of

Minneapolis. Mimi, May 6.-George
Edward Waddell has removed himself
from organized baseball, for the time.
at least, but the retirement is looked
upon with considerable of doubt BY
those who know RUDE best. He has
retired before and, although he
swears by all of his departed ancestors
that. he is through, save with semi-pro
or tanktown teams, 1t will not be
strange to see him cutting loose at
Nicollet park almost any afternoon.
He is reported Is sick today at his
home or Franklin avenue.
IT George Edward persists in get
ting out from beneath the protecting
wings Of the Cantillons it probably
means the end of one of the greatest
pitchers who has ever performed in
the National game. For two or three
years Joe Cantillon has loked after
cared for him when he vas sick with
as much solicitude as though they
might have been a relation. He has
borne with Rube's little breakages of
the training rules and it seemed that
in his baseball failing years, Rube had
landed in a rather soft berth.

q time at least he cal pick up a liv-
on the rural diamonds. Carefully
handled. he is good for several more
seasons in the professional game but
working with a rowing commission
and free to wander where he will.
George Edwards story will, We fear,
be a short one.
Despite all his protests of a burn
ing of bridges and a severance Of
home ties. George Edward is just as
apt to be back at Nicolett park any
afternoon in uniform and yelling loud
er than any man on the lot and swear

idea OF quitting the Cantillons SO long
as either Of them were able to take a
