FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR cocHIsE COUNTY
 TAXPAYERS

We imagine that when Captain John GIeenway gets figuring what 1t will cost his company to furnish site for the house which the ''Secret committee asked him for recently that he will be ready to put on the emergency brakes in hurry We imagine agaH that when the people find the ulteror motive that act lates the said committee in bringing up the removal question that there will be peo- pie made wiser than they now. It is well known that not a single the ''secrct committee IS bg payer and the big taxpayers not consulted by the committee and that is not all but when Cap tain GIecnway and the members of the secret commit ee from Bisbee find that the members of the secret committee from Douglas have made goat out of them by getting Bisbee make the first offer of site so that Douglas later go forth and to Tombstone and the rest the county. Bisbee started this thing by offer site in Warren and it's up to the rest of the county to stand by and for Douglas. that there will be some thing doing Why is this ''secret commttee! Is It for the sole purpose of making Captain Greenway tie him. self up by increasing his through putting city taxes his mines his lots. his street line. barns and other property? Unless he does only this. and he get the county and after doing this will be no cinch Taken whole this is matter that will require Mr. Greenway give thought than he did the day he gave horse back to the secret committee at the Bsbee meeting. We want to say that the north end of the county will not fall for the
 game" Wilcox. for instance. wants court house by herself and this she will by county division for she and her neighbols going to build and pay for other i'll the time. In few years she will need and be ready for her
 The above will to furnish food for thought to the Cochse county taxpaying public who not to be fooled by few such the committee when the time comes

WOULD INCREASE ALL JUDGE
 SALARIES IN ARIZONA

PHOENIX, Jan. 29-For the pur- pose of increasing the salaries gen orally of the judiciary of the state Representative Faires, chairman of the judiciary committee of the house, has introduced an amendment to the present law regarding the salaries of such officers The two most noted in creases in the bill are those relating to the justices of the supreme court, which the bill seeks to raise to SSOOO annually-the present stipend being s5000; and the reporter of decisions from $500 to s24OO The judges of the superior courts in the counties come in for substantial raises also, in order that they may combat the high cost of living and kindred evils Tavapai, Maricopa, Pima, Gila and Cochise judges now receive s4OO0 for each twelve months of service, the bill would raise this to s6000. In like manner wearers Of judicial CT mine in Apache. Navajo. Coconino. MOhave, Yuma, Pinal, Graham and Santa Cruz. who get 5000 would re- ceive ss5000: and GreenIee's judge. s3500 would mount the stairs to the S5500 class. IL is noticeable that the reporter of decisions who was prior to the passage of the salary bill of the last legislature getting s24OO was in the operation of the political weathervane violently reduced to $500, whereupon the distinguished holder of the position hurriedly re- signed and Miss Alice Birdsen, one of Arizona's woman lawyers was in vited to do the work which she did. It is not nown if the present report CT of decisions is prepared to die of fright because of the projected vio- lent increase of the salary of $500 per year. but it is conjectured in off cial circles that the high cost of Iiv- ing has much to do with the proposi- tion.
