ey would have been wasted and
the fair name of the state black
ened by the accusations which
would be made during the bitter
legal controversy.
Three hundred and ninety nine
votes is indeed a small majority to
receive from such a large number
cast at the last general election,
yet it is difficult to believe, that
there could have been so many err
rors in favor of one candidate. For
every miscounted vote for gov
ernor Hunt there probably was an
other illegal ballot marked up for
the Republican candidate. Victory
in the contest, then, would depend
upon proof of Intentional irregu-
larities. 1t is hard to believe that
under the present system of bal
loting and tabulation there could
have been 399 votes slipped over
in favor of Governor Hunt, but
even if this were possible it would
be much more difficult to prove
the charges. The Republican can
didate should be congratulated for
his wise decision not to call upon
his friends for financial assistance
when the chances for victory were
so slight.

THE REPORT OF THE TAX
COMMISSION
(Dunbar's Weekly

The report of the State Tax Com
mission, just issued, is a very in
teresting document, and can be
read with profit and interest by
every citizen of the state.
The commission recommends
that county assessors be appoint
ed instead of elected, and that their
terms be made four or six years
instead Of two.
1t is very severe on the present
law relating to tax delinquency,
designating it as a Joke" and
pointing out that the present de-
linquency in the state amounts to
S4,OOO,O0O.
The responsibility Of county as
SCISSORS is great and their work
important and burdensome. There
is but little question that the peo-
pie would approver of giving them
terms of four or six years. Such
CnduSG WOu1u NOl III tIlC lillNl COT
of efficiency But there is a grave
question as to the wisdom of MAX
ing the positions appointiye. If
the people are to elect their other
officials, there is no good reason
why they are not just as compe-
tent to elect able assessors as are
they to elect able United States
senators, congressman or super
yisors.
The commission is entirely right
in their designation of the delin-
quent tax law as a Joke" 1t is a
Joke" and grim one on the peo-
pie who pay their taxes. In real
ity it penalties those who pay
promptly and places premium on
delinquency.

A WISE DECISION
(Bisbee Review

The decision of E. S. Clark not
to contest the election OF George
w. P. Hunt as governor of the state
of Arizona for the sixth time prob
ably will meet with the approval
of the majority of his followers.
Such a legal controversy would,
as the defeated candidate points
out, cost large sum of money and
require several moonths to COM
plete. 1t would not only be cost
ly to the hackers and well-wishers
of Clark, but would be an expense
on the state, for it would occupy
practically all the time OF one
court and necessitate the appoint
ment of another judge to take care
of the work neglected. If the con-
test was lost much time and mon
