? i site the Tucson Star, and inf urination - j which could not have possibly been ; |j obtained through any other source at , so small an expense as is provided by i ; the law creating the board, and yet in I ; most of the counties the boards of su su-7 - -7 su-7 pervisors have refused to pay the small i sums to the commissioners as provided by the law. While some of those re refusing - fusing refusing have oeen looting the county treasury annually an hundred fold more, yes, some of them a thousand 1 told more than the sums they have r been refusing, in violation of the law, J to pay the commissioners for their ser ser} - } ser} vices. It is to be hoped that a case will - be taken before our courts which will » compel the supervisors to do their duty l in behalf of these commissioners. Henry George, a prominent candidate . for mayor of Greater New York and . one of the soundest writers on political . economy of the present day, died sud sudi - i sudi denly on the morning of the 29th ult., . at the Union Square Hotel, of cerebral , appoplexy. There is no doubt had he , lived he would have polled a heavy s vote, if he had not been elected. The writer has known Mr. George for thirty odd years. Have worked at the case , with him, and know that he was an , earnest, honest man, and was sincere in his efforts in behalf of labor. He was a strong advocate of the single tax , even in those days, and many a sound argument have we heard him advance during the hours of distribution, in support of his theory. Harry George, as he was familiarly known by the old typos of the Pacific slope, will bg sin sincerely - cerely sincerely mourned by those of bi 3. old oldtime - time oldtime friends on this slope who are still above the sod. Col. Rogers, of the Brescott Courier, 1 is always on the side of the people. He has a standing otfer to be one of thirty, who will put up SSO each to em employ - ploy employ a lawyer to test the constitution constitutionality - ality constitutionality of the law exempting railroads from taxation in the territory. We have always opposed such legislation, and believe with the Courier, that it will not stand the test cf the courts. It is more than probable, however, that the case would be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, before an * opinion favorable to the people could be made permanent. Consequently we fear that the amount proposed by the Courier is too small. There should be no trouble, however, in finding a hundred, or if necessary, twice that number in Arizona, who would contrib contribute - ute contribute fifty dollars to have this question settled. We never could see why an enterprise which is started with a view to making money for its stockholders, should be exempt from taxation, eny more than any other business proposi- i : tion. It is an indisputable fact, that if j ; capitalists who subscribe for stock to j build railroads, were not morally cer- j 1 tain the enterprise would pay hand- j 1 some profits, not only on the cost of construction, but often on watered j stock equal to the cost of construction, 1 there would he no railroads built. This ! ; being the case it requires nothing short ! of monumental gall on their part to 1 ask, or accept exemption from taxation, j In times of trouble they are the first < to call on the state for protection for j' j their property. They should be will- J ing; nay, more than w illing, to pay their j ' j just proportion of the necessary ex-j ; penses of the government that pro-1 ' tects them.
