WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ARIzONA'S LEG-
 ISLATlVE TIMBER
From Tax Payers Non-parti- san views

For tEe purpose of making clear the acts and motives of the late but l not lamented Arizona Legislative Assembly, I respectfully ask the public's attention to acts of that body during it's trespass upon the peoples time and the reckless squanderage of more than $14O,0O0 of the peoples money. Being the servants of the people they failed to perform the ordinary duty of their sworn obligation. After a long siege of feudis m and picker ing, they finally agreed to about one thing and that was a bill to rad the State Treasuay for per diem and mileage, leaving no pro- vision for State Expenses. This as you will see forced call for an ex- tra session all of which meant more per diem, without having in the call for an extra session a demand for remedial lesislation. This au- gust body of democratic feudists assembled and passed some legisla- lation not in the calls require ments but mainly thrust of the crow bar into the Public safe, call or no call $1 100000 of which went in the direction of the private pockets of the Sheep Sanitary Commission, one of our noble gentleman from Coconino being this amounts, mascot. This. simple. but not pure stalwart unadulterated Democracy is another star in this feudist flag. Had we not tsras we'll import few more foreigners who spell cat with K and eye "Oye", and butcher the English with thim, thin, and whin. Why not ]import a few Serbians, Rumanians, and Bulgarians, they are all states men and feudists in the game for loot.
 Here is a case where fidelity and honesty as well as statesmanship was put to the acid test with long rope at the end of which these qualities snubbed. The mere fact that an agreement as to personal benefits filtered through this den- sity shows there was pure animal selfshness manifested all along the line.
 The question of the State Houses ornamentation with this same set of fifth-rate citizens is again the burning question. No doubt some these people are innocent of these charges, but Coconino contributed it's share to all the fine qualities re- ferred to and more its illiteracy and chimpery, and it's vote for high salaries and its vote for most any measure to break into the public till. >-
 Noting too, in conclusion, that this Democracy gone to seed. Republicans went to seed through its appointed Judiciary under Ter ritorial rule when no mans prop erty rights need be respected when pitted against a corporation. Not saying whether the Democratic Ju- dietary then or since was or is now free from the same criticisms. Hay ing felt the fire who is more com potent to pass on the subject than the writer.
 That is absolutely apparent that the only hope for the man who pays the bills is to inaugurate the commission form of government so extensive that it will permeate the entire property holdings. This system, of course, is opposed by the entire hired press of the two old political parties for the very good reason that it cuts off an avenue to one of their sources of revenue. This class of Journal 1sts are hired to load the commun- ity both pro and con which arrays class against class and gives life tc the politician, who takes advant age of human prejudice to furthul his schemes of political dishonesty
