Is the Ripper constitutional ?

r Is AN interesting circumstance
that while the chief objection
Il urged against the ripper bill Is
that IL confers appoinive power
upon the governor. those VINO are us
ing this objection in the manufacture
of hostile public opinion privately
confess IT,. should the bill become
law they have no hope of overthrow
ing IL in the courts because of that
clause. Their expectation is that IL
the bill in it's present form should he
taken before the supreme court it will
10 found defective, not in the giving
of the appointive power to the gov
ernor but in extending the period OF
gubernatorial appointment 'one year
beyond the next ensuing municipal
election. Upon this expectation they
base their hope of successfully at
tacking the completed measure. but
1t is evident from the earnestness
With which they are preparing to
combat the bill's progress through the
house that they do not feel wholly
confident of maintaining their con-
tontion in the courts.
II they felt sure that the courts
would overthrow the measure they
would save n lot of money. time and
worry by laying back while their fac
tional opponents in the legislature

to which objection may properly be
taken. In view Of the radical change
wrought in city government by the
contemplated charter. 1t is difficult
to see how the initiation of that char
ter could he brought about otherwise
than by temporary appointment.
A parallel instance is that of counties
going beyond the 10000 population
mark. Here duly elected auditors by
act of assembly are deposed and their
duties intrusted to n new official
known as the controller, and appoint
i've in the first instance by the gov
ernor until the next ensuing county
election. This involves every essence
Of the ripper feature of the new char
ter bill, with the single difference
that there is not present in the con-
troller act any factional motive or
feeling: but the question of the con-
stitutionality of the governors ap-
pointment of county controllers,
which involves also the question of
the constitutionality of his proposed

understand, been passed upon by the
highest court, and his right to appoint
stands unchallenged.
Reasoning by analogy, it would seem
that IL the MuehlbronDer bill is con-
stitutionally defective in any point 1t
must be only in it's extension of the
appointive term beyond the first en-
suing municipal election. Should the
court take this view, the measure as
a whole would not be invalidated, but
the election OF a recorder by the peo-
pie to take the place of the recorder
appointed by the governor would in
that event be held one year sooner

The Republicans mining news from

this development work is steadily

dustry is more prospero than at any
previous dime in Arizona's history. An
important feature of the work going

The hostility TO the teaching of verti-

citizens generally APPEAR to lean to-
ward the s,anting style rather than to
stand stiffly in perpendicu ar support
of upright penmanship. The smooth.
forward, flowing method of forming
letters carries along with it the favor
of the masses. 1t is now generally rec
