ARIZONA has for some time been
accused Of being very e%xtravagant re-
garding public Offices. The LIBERAL
has recently compiled from the Ar
izona papers some figures on the pay
Of county Officers, and presents a few
Of them. There is Santa Cruz coun-
ty. with a valuation OF 90, 29s, 900,
Graham county, with a valuation Of
s1O, l92, 243, and Greenlee, with a val
uation Of S3l, 2Ss, 1856, and in the fourth
row It places the figures the last leg
islature tried to make Grant county
pay, with a valuation Of s2O.O 0O, 900.
The Arizona counties are assessed at
their full value, which makes the tax
rate less:

The Overland truck and trailer
which Ownby s. Freeman brought up
to haul ore from the So mine to the
railroad, did not prove to be a success
in It's original form. The trailer was
rigidly fastened to the truck, and
when the driver would try 20 nego-
tiate a little hollow between two
ridges the rear wheels of the truck
would be lifted of the ground. All
the driving force comes from the rear
wheels, and when they cannot get
traction everything stops. The joint
between the truck and the trailer
will be made more flexible, when they
have no doubt It will be a success.

THE thousands Of Americans who
are In Europe for a pleasure trip, are
up against it hard. They are all pro-
vided with letters Of credit, travellers
checks, and various kinds Of exchange,
but they cannot cash these any where,
and many Of them are suffering from
a lack Of money. The vessels Of all
the %contending nations, which are
practically all Of the vessels engaged
in passenger traffic across the Attain
tic, have been pulled of, and so there
Is no way Of returning. Their return
trip tickets are valuless. The United
States government is making prepa-
rations to send an army transport
across with plenty Of gold, which will
be used to cash these travellers let
ters Of credit, and 1t may be neces-
sary to send transports to Europe TO
bring the Americans home.

State Engineer French has had
teams al work repairing the levee
east OF town. The water got high
enough to flow over the levee, and
then the wheels cut the wet ground,
and soon il was impossible. 1t was
slow work mendlng the break, as the
dirt had to be hauled from the end,
and the water would soak 1t up as
fast IS It vas thrown In, but by keep
ing constantly at II the break was
finally mended. Mr.. French intends
70 raise the levee a foot, and give IL a
top dressing Of gravel. When this is
done there will be no danger Of It's
ever going out again. There Is no
current to wash 1t, and the only dan
ger IL the water getting high enough
TO cover 1t, and let IL be worn away
by the wheels, as happened this sum
mer. IL II is a foot higher there will
be no danger Of this.

THE approach OF convention time
gives the lowly paTtlzan a chance to
urge the nomination of a friend for
some office. Last week the name Of
Col. r. w. Twitchell and Senator
Panky we're published as candidates
for members Of congress. Col. Twit-
chell, In an interview, announced he
was not a candidate, and would not
become one. He has severed his con-
nection with the Santa Fe road, and
expects during the next few years to
have lots Of fun recording history,
which, to him, is much more enjoy
able than making 1t. Senator Panky
announced that he was entirely too
busy with his own affairs to leave
them and take up the affairs Of the
nation. There are in the state plenty
more republicans who are not and
will not become candidates for the
nomination as congressman.

In last weeks Silver City Enter
prise Chairman Matt Fowler, of the
county republican central committee,
published a notice calling the county
convention for the purpose Of nomln-
ating two candidates for the legls-
lature, and to select delegates to the
state convention. In previous years
the chalrmen Of the committee have
furnished the LIBERAL with a copy
Of the call, but this year non was re-
ceived. The LIBERAL has been told
that 1t was not considered a member
Of the republican party because for a
year 1t held office under the democra-
tic administration. AS the LIBERAL
was fired as soon as the democratic
central committee could agree on a
man for the place, 1t thinks this
ought to restore 1t to its former
standing as a republican. 1t has also
been told that IL has been read out of
the party because 1t approved Of the
vetoes of the exhorbitant salary bills
made by Governor Mcdonald. If this
is the case 1t will be the first time in
an experience Of forty years as a re-
publican that 1t has heard that 1t is
unrepubllcan to object to the looting
Of the public treasury, 1t will watch
the county convention with curiosity,
TO see what stand the modern day re-
publicans take on this question. The
convention Is to be held August 18th,
and the primaries are 70 be held to-
morrow, Saturday, August 9Th.

In New Mexico the supervisors are
called commissioners. In New Mex
leo the three Arizona officers Of clerk
Of supervisors, clerk Of court and re-
corder are merged In one office. The
taxpayers OF Arizona are crying out
at the excessive wages paid Office
holders, as we'll as the enormous num-
Der Of them. The treasurer Of Green
lee county collects ninety per cent Of
the taxes from three companies, only
handling three checks. The copper
companies In Greenlee county are
trying to make a deal by which the
matter Of running the county can be
turned over to them. They offer to
run the county, and run 1t better for
the people who live In 1t; having bet
ter schools, guarantee better roads,
and pay all the expenses themselves,
letting all the other taxpayers Of the
county 60 free of expense. They would
do this, and then save $780, 900 a year.
The Arizona taxpayers play in hard
luck, but the above figures will show
that the last legislature tried to hand
the New Mexico taxpayers a harder
package than Arizona has.

nothing to any foreign power unless II

lie obligation in the British isles would
rally to France"

abroad. He continued:
Coasts Are Defenseless.
"The French fleet is in the Mediter-
ranean and the northern coasts OF
France are defenseless. II a foreign
fleet engaged in war against France
should come down and battle against
those defenseless coasts we could moi
stand aside
I'VE felt strongly that France was
entitled to know at once, whether, in
the event of an attack on her unpro-
tected coasts she would rely on oul
support.

ambassador last night that If the Ger
man fleet goes into the English chan
mel or into the North sea to attack
French shipping or the French coast
the British fleet will give all the protec-
ton in its power.
