ECONOMY?
(Phoenix Gazette.l

(PhOen1X Gazette.)
In addition to the $2O5,5SO of sal
aries, $167, 195 for expenses of adj
ministrative officers and $685., 1857 for
public institutions, the appropriation
bills now before the state legislature
carry incidental appropriations to the
amount of 100000 or more.
These appropriations are for widely
scattered purposes ranging from the
relief of school teacher who couldn't
get her pay to the sinking of an ar
tesian well in about every county
| in the state.
OF the merit and necessity of some
of these appropriations there can be
no question any more than there is
no question that the salaries of the
necessary state officials have to be
paid and the capitol grounds kept up.
The gross amount of the bills, q
million and three quarters, as an
nounced by the chairman of - the
appropriations committed might be
reasonably needed IN New York or
Ohio butt is a fearful load of tax
alton to saddle on state with a
population so small as that of Ari-
IONA and on a body OF taxpayers num-
befihg but few more than 13, 900.
Tit present. administration was re-
turned to office on a platform pledg-
ed to economy and efficiency. ( It
was the hope and expectation of
the democratic electors of the state
that these pledges would be kept to
the letter and that the administration
would realize that this is time
when every appropriation should be
pared down to the ultimate farthing
The great copper industry OF the
state is sadly crippled by war IN
Europe which has led to complete
or partial suspension of work. The
farmers and the cotton planters, es-
peciaIIy the latter, are feeling the
same depressing influence and every
thing combines to make this a time
for economics that might otherwise
be not so absolutely essential.
In the face of this platform and of
these conditions the officials of the
state calmly disregard both and pro-
coed to saddle on the taxpayers
burden under which states five
times the population of Arizona
would complain.
The session is drawing to an early
close; the appropriation bills must
be- passed or the business of the
state suspended. In the opinion of
not only few voters and taxpayers
the latter would be the more desir-
able alternative.

The Copper Era Is reliably informed that there.
is movement on foot by the members Of the
Board of Supervisors to reduce, the number Of
peace officers in the county. This matter is likely
to up at the next meeting of the Board. The
general concensus Of opinion of the public is that
under conditions existing in Greenlee coun-
ty there is multiplicity of peace officers in al
every precinct in the4county at a4 unwarrant-
ed expense to the taxpayers. From all accounts
the Board proposes to the and apply it
vigorously, let the chips fall where they may.
