THE ROAD BOND ISSUE.

According to resolution adopted by the
Board of Supervisors this week an election will be
held in this county on March 22nd, at which cleo
ton taxpayers alone will participate, for the pur
pose of voting bonds in the of $I5oooo.oo,
this amount of money to be used in paying out
standing warrants and road vouchers and for the
construction, reconstruction and repair Of roads
and bridges in the county.
The action of the Board in calling the cleo
ton on the bond issue, although it is conceded
that the Board had the legal right to issue such
bonds without vote of the taxpayers, shows a
disposition on the part of the Board to refer such
important matters to the taxpayers direct who
in the end must foot the bills The Board has
given this matter careful consideration and for
the information of the taxpayers of the county it
may be stated that the bond issue at this time
means economy in the end.
This money for use county roads is
necessary at once in order that the roads already
The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1915-02-12

under construction may be completed without fur
Their depreciation and loss Of labor and material
already expended. Road vouchers are outstand-
ing all of them in the hands of innocent parties,
which should be lquidated at once and the per-
manent and lasting construction planned can be
more easily borne by bond issue than direct
levy for road purposes.
The proposed bond issue is wise business
policy at this time from the standpoint of the
payers and the proposition has already received
the support of greater majority of the taxpay-
ers through the means of petition now on file
requesting the Board to take such action The
indications are that the bonds will carry by an
overwhelming majority and the uncompleted road
constructed in the Morenci, Metcalf and Duncan
sections hurried forward to completion.
When the question of NEW HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION comes up before the Board
we hope to see them show the same consideration
of the interest of the taxpayrs and the greatest
good to the greatest number in outlining new
construction. The northern portion Of this coun-
ty, with its vast resources, is certainly deserving
of some consideration if new roads are to be
built.

MINE TAX DEVOID OF SENTIMENT.

In our opinion too much sentiment is being
injected into the consideration of the mine tax
question We read in the reports of debates in
the Legislature this highly important question
many kindly expressions regarding the import
ance of the mining industry to the state; the de-
pendency of the agricultural industry upon the
prosperity of the mining industry, and only last
week a Senator in advocating the mine tax bill
pointed to the fact that group of prominent min
ing men had come to the relief of a,hnancially en-
barrassed bank in Phoenix
To our mind all this sentiment and fattery
is foreign to the subject matter in hand We all
realize that the mining industry is the chief in
dustry of the state. This fact has been forcibly
brought to our attention during the past eight
months while this industry has experienced a per-
iod of depression We likewise recognize and appre
ciate the fact that the agricultural and mining in
dustries closely linked together and the pros
perity of the latter to large extent dpends upon
the former. We are also well aware that the men
at the head Of mining affairs in Arizona are amply
able, financially, to embark in any banking or
commercial enterprise they might conceive, but
it is also equally true that the big mining industry
of Arizona is strictly business proposition. The
mining companies are not operated in Arizona for
the health of their managers or their directors,
but for the financial returns that may be received
upon the investment. For the purposes of taxa
ton these mining companies should be required to
pay their just proportion of the taxes the same
as the small individual property owner-no more
and no less. They should not be especially favor
ed, neither should they be Disseminated against
Fairness and justice should be the guiding rule
for the Legislature in dealing with this important
question. We heartily endorse a specific tax, fix
ed by the legislators, as representatives of the
people. In much counsel there is wisdom and we
believe the Second Legislature is equal to the task
of fixing just basis for taxation of mines not
the opposition of tax commission
who are clamoring for the power of an arbitrary
of mining claims by method
which will prove unsatisfactory to all
and at big cost to
the state in the employment of engineers, experts
etc. We believe in encouraging the mining in
dustry by giving notice in advance to investors
Just what their item of expense for taxes will be
should they see fit to come into the state with
their capital. Methods of assessment of mining
claims must of necessity be different from other
classes of property for the simple reason that the
true values are hidden and uncertain Assessment
On the basis of annual production which can be |
computed accurately in dollars and cents is the
only and ce-tain valuation Of a producing
mining calm and this valuation, on this basis, |
should be brought as possible in keeping |
With the net income from other classes of proper
y whether it be town lots, farm lands, office
buildings or live stock

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.

From different parts of the country come
stories of swnde successfully worked on farm
ers who thought they going to get cheap
groceries. Two smooth strangers went through
the communities taking orders for a house in
Chicago, pretending to sell standard brand of
sugar and -four so cheaply that every farmer
visited took from $40 to 500 worth and other
things besides. Because of the low prices the
-four and sugar had to be paid in advance" 1t
is alleged that in one community the swindlers
picked up some $1,000 and no groceries deliver
ed.

surprising number of emergen-
cies have suggested themselves to
the members of the legislature. The
statement has been made, and it is
probably true, that half the bills so
far introduced contain the emergency
clause, whereat, when we consider all
the circumstances, we are not sur
prised. The emergency clause was
designed by the makers of the con-
stitution as a means of escape from
the referendum in the case of an ex-
listing emergency, says the Arizona
Republican But at the time when
we adopted the initiative and referen-
dunn we did not realize the extent to
which the referendum might be abus-
ed; how the will of the people might
be suspended for at least two years
by a very insignificant minority of
the people. The percentage of the
voters required to invoke the referen-
DUN was made so ridiculously low
that it is possible to suspend for two
years the most popular and useful
measure that could be enacted.
1t does not appear to have occur
red to the members of the constitu-
tiona1 convention that the referen-
dunn would ever be applied for self
ish purposes, whereas in almost
every case it has been applied, there
has been selfish, political or faction
al motive behind the application

It is easier to urge economy in state
affairs than to accomplish it. Every
interest for which the state makes
provision is strongly for economy-in
making appropriations for the other
interests. The budget, or so-called
budget which has been presented to
the house committee on appropriation
we understand, eontemplates appro-
priations exceeding those of the last
Legislature by nearly S75O,00O. The
budget is doomed to a considerable
scaling down The "reminiscences of
the senate, in particular, against ex-
travagance has not relaxed. There is
even danger that in the program of
economy denial of support will be
made of some worthy objects

courses in liberal arts and mechanic

would be a needless expense to the

Mother Jones and the younger
Rockefeller, meeting, for the first
time, find each other to be ordinary
human beings. And Mother" Jones
is philosopher enough tS see that
Rockefeller is as much victim of an
unjust social system as any tramp,
beggar or criminal. She spoke
truly enough in remarking:
''The young man means the best he
knows how But him raised in lux
urv. how could he know anything
about real things? 1t isn't his fault,
though-the raising he got is the
cause of it. I see now the young man
has been misrepresented. He's
frank and he's open and he wants to
do right, think. For one I'm going
to reverse what I've been saying
about him.
And John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is
reported to have been equally enlight-
ened. He is said to have declared
after the meeting:
Il assured her that I believed that
as matter of principle the things of
which she complained we're wrong.
OF course, there should be free
speech, free assemblage, independ
ent stores. public schools, and all
that. On all matters which we discus
sed we were in agreement The Pub
