LOCAL MAN PROVES CASSANDRA IF
 ARIZONA SoothsayS Black Crimes Of Iconoclastic
 Legislature
(Erom Tuesdays pailyl

''I will wager the best hat in town with any local politician that this leg islature will abolish the office of pub lie examiner, relegate the Arizona rang CTS into thing of the past, pass the Pace bill, better known as the local option bill, create two public examin- CTS, two mine inspectors and establish four-cent a mile railroad fare"
 This is the proposition made yester- day by T. J. Sparks, immediately after his arrival here rfom a weeks visit in Phoenix.
 "Yes, I will go further than this, ' he said to an interested group anxious to hear the latest from the capitol. "I will include in the bet that the Repub- lican members of both houses will burst the Democratic caucus inside of a week and that the railroads will call in all scrip books as soon as the four cent fare bill becomes law.
 f'The four-cent fare bill appears to be a popular issue at the capitol. On every hand in Phoenix are heard ad- voeates of its passage. It is argued that a rich man can now travel for three cents while the poor are eompell- ed to pay five. Three-cent fares are made possible through the use of scrip books. It is believed the railroads will call in all the scrip books out standing with the enactment of the law. This will permit all elascs to travel by rail on the same fare, which is equitable.
 "There is strong opposition in Phoenix from all over the territory to the abolition of the rangers and the office of public examiner. The Demo crats offer as a substitute for the pub lie examiner, two public examiners to be appointed by the supervisors of the counties of the two districts of the ter ritory created by the bill.
 "Tnere is also a substitute ranger bill, but its passage is doubtful.
 developments at the capitol in the last few days point that the solil Democratic caucus will be bursted. Conflicting interests in the passage of bills among the members will accom- plish it."

Editorial Comment
be the real framer of the tariff.

be the real framer of the tariff. Such a program, of course, does moi make for speedy legislation. The sen ate is not willingly going to surrender any of its prerOgatives, and no matter how much time and thought the house gives to the bill the senate is going to debate the measure as long as it sees fit and make whatever amend ments seem to it wise. This would mean that the hardest fight of all would come after the bill had passed both houses and been sent to confer, enee. Should there occur serious deadlock between the two houses the possibilities of delay are almost limit less.
 Nor is there any assurance the house will get down to work as early on a tariff bill as it has on former oeea- sions. No one knows how much delay is going to result from the contest over the house rules. The insur- gents" are going to make a desperate effort to have adopted the reforms they advocate, and the house organiza- tions has not indicated any disposition to make concessions.
 As the insurgents" are now quar- reling among themselves and seem un- able to agree upon any definite pro- gram, every encouragement is offered the organization to stand out and make fight. From present indiea- tions there is very grave danger that the whole plan to reform house proceed ure will come to naught, merely be cause the reformers cannot agree on a program of reforms. Desperate efforts are making, however, to get them to- gether on a common policy, and hope that this will be accomplished has not been entirely dissipated.

PHOENIX, Feb. 10.-No day of this legislative session promises to be more replete with excitement than next Monday, set today by the house for the report of the election committee on the Pace bill.
 Opponents of the bill claim they will be able to force a final vote, and bury it for two years.
 The committee will report favorably without amendments but it is stated two members of the committed, Bailey and Hall, may offer a minority report incorporating the segregation amend ment.
 The amendment will be fought to a farewell by temperance advocates. No compromise, say they.
 Tonight neither the "wets" nor "drys" are confident of the result and the next few days will settle the fate of the Pace bill, as further post ponement is very improbable
 There were very few in the galleries this morning when the fight on the Pace local option bill was sprung by Morris, but the news spread about the capitol building and officials, council men and others swarmed in to witness the preliminary skirmish.
 After flashes of wit and repartee, brief eloquenee, call by Morris for a report on the bill, which had been in the hands of the committee for ten days, started something, and De Sousa moved the committee be given more time.
