JUSTICE VS.. LAW.

Justice Slater Of Tucson has decided
question of law based on justice,
which is such preposterous PROPOSE.
ton in Tucson that he is liable to lose
his official position. He has declared
the act passed by the last legislature
which provides that no calf shall be
sold until branded, as unconstitutional.
The case in question came up in the
arrest Of 7, G, Mckinney, who sold
six head of calves without brands.
This is the way his honor reasoned:
'The law makes it practically i'm
possible to use or dispose Of a calf be-
fore it is six months old, because no
one outside of the White Mountain
reservation will contend for the bar
barous practice of branding young and
tender calves before the age Of two or
three months. Then it will take them
two or three months more to heal up,
and then it will take several months
more to accumulate flesh sufficient to
fit them for either sale or use. The
law, then, totally suspends the COM
merce in calves throughout the terri.
tory Of Arizona.
"a law that makes an act crime
in which there can possibly be nc
wrong doing, such as man selling his
own calf to his neighbor, or killing il
for his own use, without q previous
branding of the animal and . law
which commands acts recognized as
barbarous, inhuman and brutal by the
civilized world, with no adequate rea.
sons for such barbarism and brutality,
will certainly be declared odious and
detrimental to the present enlightened
public policy Of all nations, states and
territories. Hence, this court has nc
hesitation in declaring the law uncon
stitutional and void. The defendant
is discharged"

The long and dreaded first of July

The long and dreaded first Of July
has come and gone without creating
the least ripple Of excitement in fnan-
oial circles. The grand total Of semi
annual disbursements at the banks at
this time is enormous, yet the banks
were able to fully meet all these extra
calls without advancing their interest
rates or calling in loans. All the
clearinghouse had an ample supply Of
ready money. That the banks were
able to weather SO successfully the
turning point in the year speaks well
for the financial situation of the coun.
try. The prophet who predicted a
financial panic for the first of July is
looking for commercial disasters in an
other direction.
