 A DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL.

 Apache-E. S. Slower, Indepen- dent Democrat.

The Scott liquor law, which has oc. cupled the attention of the Supreme Court of Ono for some time past, has at last been declared unconstitutional. The decision and its effects are terse- ly summed up as follows: "The Su- preme Court Scott law decision stripped of its verbiage, declares the entire law unconstitutional. It will not only do away with the collection of the tax this year, portion of which has been paid,c but will make it nee. essary for all the corporations to pay back the amount which was collected under the law last year, together with interest. It will bankrupt nearly all the cities in the State, as the levies for the year were made on the sup position that the law was constitu- tional, and bring into the treasury of the counties and cities a stipulated amount of money. In Columbus, for example, between S45,ooo and s5o.- 900 were realized from tax last year and none of the amount has been paid this year, The consequence is that the departments are behind in the payment of salaries, two and three months. Other cities in the State are similarly situated. The great question with the'municipal and coun- ty authorities is how to secure imme- diate relief from the embarrassing situation, the Legislature not being in session.

A Funny Bet.

We told our readers already a few days ago that bet was made between those extreme and enthusiastic parti. zans of the two opposing great par ties, Tom Hughes and Al Connors. on the result of the Presidential cleo tion. The loser was to place the winner in a wheelbarrow, with a keg of beer and trundle him from Hopes corner to the old Tammany hall of Albuquerque, the Marble Hall. From late news it is very evident that Tom Hughes will have to do the wheeling and Al Connors will have free ride. Of novel and curious bets, like this one, there are quite number record ed. Vim. Ellis bets Coris Miller that Cleveland will be elected, and agrees if it so results that he will count every tie on the Baltimore and Ohio rail. road between Wheeling and Washing ton. If Blaine is elected Miller is to push a hand cart from Wheeling to Washington over the National pike. A Cleveland drummer, who was in that city made a novel bet with one of the ladv clerks in store where he sold bill of goods. The lady IS a Republican, and of course bet on Blaine's success. Whether the drum mer is. for the Plumed Knight is not known, still he takes his chances on Cleveland. The bet is this: If Blaine wins, the lady is to give the gentleman forty-eight kisses, payable in four equal monthly installments. If Cleveland is chosen, the drummer is to present the young lady with a sealskin sacque. This bet is genuine.
 Hen Schmulbach, the. leading brewer of Ohio, has agreed with the President of the Elin Grove Motor line as follows: If Cleveland is elect ed the former is to tap one thousand kegs of beer to all corners; in case of his defeat the motor line man is to haul all people free to Hombrook Park any day Schmulbach directs.
 The most curious wager is one wired the Register from Charleston, w. Va. Ali Burnett, chief of the Eureka Detective Agency, bets B. D. Goshorn, local Democratic pollti. clan, that Blain, will be elected by a larger majority in the Electoral Col lege than Garfield had. If Burnett wins, Goshorn is to ride blind mule through the streets of Charleston, ac- companied by drum corps, from 9 a. m. to I2m m. If Burnett loses he is to swim the Kanawha river from bank to bank during the same hours, the bet to be paid as soon as the result IS known.

Col. A. E. Burke, Director Gen. eral of the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, an. nounces that, as Congtess meets on the day heretofore designated for the opening ceremonies, and therefore the President and Congressmen could not then be present, the formal open ing will take place at noon, December I6. Exhibits will be received until December 10, with the under standing that they must be arranged Tn place by the opening day. Demands upon the Worlds Exposition for space have excceded anything in the history of former expositions. The manage ment have added seven hundred thou. sand square feet exhibiting space, to the buildings originally designed, and advantage will be taken of time now to provide additional space for exhibitors who may rely upon every possible effort to accord reason- able space to all who may apply.

FOR PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL,
 THOs. +. WEEDIN, or FINAL.


 The election is over, the clouds have cleared away, so we can look around the we'll fought battle field and select from the number of suc- cessiul candidates to the legislature, those suitable 10 discharge the offices of President of the Council and Speaker of the House of Representa-
 tives. Of the latter we will say nothing at this writing, but for the Council, the CHAMPION presents the name of Thos. F. Weedin, of Pinal, for President at the coming session. Mir. Weedin is editor of the Enter prise, an influential newspaper, pub hshed at Florence, in Pinal county; a man of liberal views, conscientious and courteous, and if elected to pre- side over the higher body of the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly, would be an honor to the responsible and at times trying position. His many years of.public life in the Ter ritory, his we'll known capabilities as presiding officer, can not fail to make him one of the most prominent candidates for the Presidency of the Council, and his selection would give great satisfaction to the people of the entire Territory.

A gentleman in this city recently received letter from the east saying that there was an abundance of cap;- ,sl waiting for Arizona investments as soon as the proper time came for investments 10 be made. Land for ranches will be sought by some, but mining property is for the most part needed. The capital represents, it is UT derstood, many and various sized sums, but however much it may be it can be judiciously and prohtably in. vested in Arizona. Tucson Star.

Messrs. Jones x Poland, of Pueblo, Colorado, will move to Northern Ar izona. These men will dispose of all their herd. excepting about 1000 COWS, which will be shipped to the San Francisco mountains. Jim Peck, another prominent plainsman, will follow suit, but it is not known just whither he will go. It is the same old story of overcrowded ranges in the case of Jones & Pollard. They were early locators in an unbroken prairie country, and while they were in peaceful possession of their domain there was no trouble. But newcom- CTS, heavy. companies and light indi. viduals alike, have been gradually cramping the range with thelr herds, until now the situation is as thick as three in bed and a nigger on the safety valve. Close herding is not liable to effect remedy, as there is danger of herding too closely. Fenc- ing is forbidden and unlawful, besides being expensive, and water rights are losing their virtue, if any they ever possessed. The situation is indeed unfavorable for the men who are pic. neers in the business. In New Mexi. co the association propose that there shall be no necessity for moving by reason of overcrowdcd ranges, by reg ulating the number of cattle the pres- ent settlers shall run on water rights owned by them, and members refus- ing to newcomers the assistance abso. lutely necessary to successful con duct of the business, if they insist on crowding in on the already occupied ranges,

Another evil, says the New Mexico Stock Grower, is the careless distribu tion of bulls over the range. IT. some cases bunch of 1000 she cattle will be found with only three or four bulls, while in others the latter will outnum. Der the former. We think that each roundup district should keep float ing party out all the time, and it should be one of the duties of each party to attend to the proper distribu. sion of bulls over the range.

In 1920 Wm. H. Crawford intro duced the custom of employing fe. male clerks in the treasury department at Washington while he was secretary of the treasury. The first woman was given ? place through favoritism, as she was Mrs. Crawford's daughter. l. may be safely said that the same motive sill obtains, although the gen. tlemen unusally select somebody elsc's daughter.
