 The two entertainers of the Santa Fe Reading Room circuit, that gave thelr performance in Eiks Opera House last Tuesday evening, were well re- ceived by Kingman people.

 Some newspapers of Arizona are op- posing the continuance of a number of the state commissions. such as the Corporation Commission, he Tax Commission, the Land Commission and organization of the State Corporation Commis isson it has done great deal of work and has accomplished much good for the shippers of the state. Its personnel has been recognized as the best in the west. the services of some of the members being required in the prosecution of rate cases in many of the other states. The Tax Commission to our way of thinking is a necessity to the successful operation of the state While it has been some- what har.p pered by poor laws and the antagonism of the large property hold es its good work is beginning to be recognized. In the past if man had a little band of one hundred head of cattle he pald tax on that number, but if he owned fifteen hundred to two thousand head he paid on from one hundred and fifty to three hundred. Under the new conditions he cannot give in two hundred head of cattle and make sales yearly of five hundred head of steers And it is so with other forms of property: We believe that every form of property should be made to pay it's proportion of the expense of government, and while it is the nm pression that mining investments are not properly taxed, we believe that there will be an equitable adjustment of this condition. With the State Land Commission, it is certainly the duty of the members to conserve the interests of the state institutions by covering the best lands of the state with filings, that in future these insti- lutions may be richly endowed. And this being done in the proper manner. Let the Com missions have time enough to prove to the people their necessity.
