A Vetoed Bill.

One of the bills which was intro
dnced at the last session of the Illinois
legislature and which created consid-
cradle comment was that which au-
thoriZed the circuit judge to appoint
an assistant states attorney to aid
the regular official in his duties. The
salary also was 10 be fixed by the cir
cult Judge. This was not a plan to ap-
point a special states attorney for
which there is already statute but
for the appointment of regular as
sistant in all cases. The bill was
passed by both houses and sent to the
governor for his signature.
This bill. which was house bill No.
697, appears among the bills which
Governor Deneen returned without his
signature. The governor considers the
proposed law unconstitutional. The
governors opinion is based on the
reasoning that the office thus created
Is a public office and is thus also a
county office. According to section 10,
article 8. of the constitution of ILL
nois. THE county board. except as
provided in section of this article
shall fix the compensation of all the
county officers"
Inasmuch as this bill would give ne
circuit judge the power of fixing the
salary which by the constitution i.
plainly given to the county board, the
governor holds the bill unconstitution
al, and vetoed it.

The Aftermath.

Drifting back home from vacation,
Busted and weary and sore.
AS for the rest they were after
Needing it worse than before.
Back from time that was bully.
Back from the lake or the woodA
Feeling for labor no friendship,
Hardly on hand with the goods.
Oh. it looks pleasant in prospect!
Nothing but resting and ease.
Looking in flower studded meadows.
Wading in joy to the knees.
Sitting around in a hammock,
Waving a hand painted fan
Or in the sand on the beaches
Picking up freckles and tan.
Nothing bat rest on the program.
That was the word in advance.
Anything looking like labor
Stood not ghost of a chance.
No heavy lifting or moving
Boxes as large as shed.
And about standing in water
Never a sentence was said.
Still, what's the use of complaining7
If it was work it was fun.
And, on the whole. We are sorry
That it is over and done.
But ii would be SO much better.
Filling the bill pretty sleek,
II when vacation was over
We could rest up for week.

THE LATER RESULT.

Now that it is done, there is no
use complaining, but we do not see
how the members OF the legislature
could disregard the reasons set forth
in the message Of Governor Kibbey
yesterday why council bill 1913 should
not become a law.
1t is understood, of course, that the
bill was a political expedient designed
to make it possible for the democrats
to strengthen their position in the
counties which have a large Mexican
population. That, of course. would
be the immediate effect of the law
in such counties as Apache and
Pima, but in the long run it win be
found that it does not pay TO dis
franchise ruthlessly a large element
of citizens. The sense of fairness of
many democratic Americans will not
be appealed to and we believe it will
not be many years, whether this law
stands or not, before the democratic
party will find chickens flocking
home to roost
There could be no party exigency
so serious as to warrant the disfran-
chisement of hundreds of citizens.

THE END OF COUNTY DIVISION.
1t is understood that the Orange
county boom has come TO an early
end. That it would have been a
no doubt. There would not have been
a great deal of opposition on this
side TO its existence, though we would
have felt a natural regret at the
departure of so prosperous and so
excellent a citizenship as that of the
south side The real opposition, how
ever, came from Pinal county, which,
when it came to think of it, saw the
peril of so powerful a neighbor. whose
population at the outset would exceed
its own. In a joint council district,
Orange county would inevitably have
named the joint councilman.
If. according to one program, Mesa
and the surrounding country had been
annexed to Pinal, all that would have
remained Of Florence would have
been the memory that it once en-
joyed the distinction of being a coun-
ty seat.
After all, things are better as they
are. There is no better land under
the sun than Mesa and the surround
ing country and there are no better
people. With Mesa, Tempe and the
north side We have the best county
in the United States-one that will
get better and better.
This brief prospect Of parting ought
to have the effect of bringing all
parts of Maricopa into a better ap-
probation of each other.

THE BRIDGE CONTROVERSY.

LIZ D4NADHI@ (N'-N L ~ A-lNeo l.
The substitute bridge bill which is
to be offered to the council today
will present the appearance of fair
ness. The location of the bridge is
hardly a proper legislative problem.
We of Maricopa who have the bridge
TO pay for and who understand our
needs may discuss the matter among
ourselves and may entertain honest
opinions some miles apart. That the
Tempe site is an admirable one, per-
haps the best along the river is to be
admitted and that at present a bridge
at that point would perhaps be more
convenient for greater number of
citizens might be conceded by the
without waving their contention that
the location is Il matter which should
be settled by the people of this coun-
ty. That the bridge might ulti
mately be located at Tempe is easily
conceivable. for a large number Of
north side citizens prefer that site.
But if so, the friends of the other
site would rather accept that deci-
sion at the polls than at the hands
of the legislature.
Beside, if the bill should leave the
question of the site open it would
tend to increase the chances that the
bond proposition would carry.
