AN INTERESTING QUESTION
TO the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
An Anaconda subscriber, in order to
decide a wager, wishes the later Noun
tain to decide the following:
One man wagers another q sum of
money that John M. Madden, as mayor
OF Anaconda, cannot hold the office of
representative in the legislature while
ne holds the office of mayor, that he must
resign as mayor to qualify 70. the other
position.
Also j. M. Kennedy, state senator
elect, must resign from the police magis-
trate's Office to qualify for the position
to which he has been elected.
Also, that Thomas McTague, repre-
sentative-elect, cannot qualify unless he
resigns as one of the state prison con-
tractors"
1t is the opinion of a member of a
prominent law firm of his city, after
consulting the law on the subject, that
under section z. article 5. of the consti-
tuition, the only restriction in this case
would be that no member of either house
shall he appointed to any civil office
under the state while he is in power, and
that no member of ngres holding a
position under the federal government
shall be a member of either house. Under
this provision there is no restriction
placed Upon a mayor, a police magistrate
or n other municipal officer being
a member of either house.
las regards the position of state pris-
on contractor, since section 1920, of the
political code makes provision that
unless a state prison contractor made
contracts directly with the legislature,
he would not he deEarred from being a
member Of either house-such contracts

THE ARMoR PLATE CLAUSE.
4 snag in the Naval Appropriation

meeting of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs was held yesterday, which
resolved itself into conference for the
purpose of adjusting the differences In
the committee over the Naval Approprfa-
tion bill. The items of the bill were
passed upon by the committee last week,
but there has been so much discomfort
over the arnlor plate provision that an
effort was made yesterday to harmonize tie
differences in order to prevent Representa-
tive Wheeler from leading fight on the
floor against the bill.
At the meeting OF the committee it de-
veloped that those members who had for
merely insisted on giving the Secretary of
the Navy authority to purchase armor for
the ships being con structed, those au-
thorized last year and those to be author
lied in this BILL were prepared to re,ede
from their position and to agree that this
authority should extend Only to the pur-
chase Of that quantity Of armor which is
necessary for the ships already completed.
The question arose on the price to be paid
for that armor and it was substantially
agreed that he should be authorized to
pay as much as S545 per ton for 1t. Rep
resentative Wheeler then insisted that
some provision should be made for an
armor plant in case the Government snould
be compalled to pay as much as s54o per
ton for this armor. Representative Foss,
Acting Chairman, proposed that pro-
vision to the effect that should the Sec
retary of the Navy he compelled to pay
for the armor for these three ships, the
purchase of which was authorized in the
bill. what he considered to be an excessive
price, he was then, without further action
by Congress, authorized to purchase a site
and commence the erection OF an armOr
plant not to cost more than $i.000,000.
and 81. 600 600 was made available for that
purpose.
Representative Rixey proposed to sup
plement Mr. Foss' arrangement by sipu-
lating that if the Secretary had to pay
more than s445 per ton for the armor he
should then. in his discretion. arrange for
the erection of an armor plant This met
with considerable opposition on the ground
that such Limitation would virtually de-
clare that Congress considered Si45 per
ton a reasonable price and the Secretary
might believe that il he secured 1t below
that figure he was prevented from con-
strueting the plant. while if he had TO pay
more he might think he was compelled to
build it. Thus he would not be at liberty
to exercise any discretion whatever, in
regard to this matter. Mr.. Rixey's amend
ment was not accepted. It is understood
Mr.. Wheeler win accept the proposition
made By Mr. FOES and the committee will
report a provision TO that effect

It is shown by one of the appended pa
pers that authority to eXcavate in the sea
near Cape Nome was granted to George
Max Esterly and Benjamin w. Stanley. An
application of F. S. Wood was awaiting

The form used in granting Esterly and

conditions of the new form. The first
form sets forth the section OF the River

the granting of permission for individuals
waters of the United States, notes that
application has been made for such per-
mission. a blank space being used TO de-

TAKEN FROM THE NEWs.
Paragraphs Clipped From Wailuku
Weekly Paper

Wanted an electric plant. With
1900 horse power running to waste
down lao Valley, it is strange that
some enterprising electrical concern
has not seized the opportunity of es-
tablishing an electrical light and pow
er plant at Wailuku. II electrical heat
can be utilized for cooking, as as
serted. this delay is still more strange.
Lights, heat and power are needed
both at Wailuku and Kahului, and
with modern appliances for harness
ing lightning and making it bear the
white mans burden, it should be only
a question of a short zine until We
have our streets lighted. our dinners
cooked and our machinery run by
electric power.
