The initiative
 and Referendum

Arizona Republican: A citizen Of Tempe, in a letter printed in the Deui- ocrat honestly thinks lie is making q Ecint in favor Of the initiative and ref crendum when he refers to- tke fact that great public benefit is derived from the system of submitting to tEe people the question of granting frars chises to municipal corporations.
 His letter is fine example of the confusion Of mind into which mary good citizens have permitted them- selves 70 fall.
 The fact is that is discussing some thing that has no relation whatever to the system Of direct legislation for Arizona
 Every good citizen admits that the only proper way to dispose of ques- tionS of bond issues and other forms Of special taxation, and questions o2 granting franchises is to submit them to vote of the people.

But this is the system we have now. and which no good citizen would wish to change.
 It is not the system Of initiative and referendum" which some zealot5 are trying to engraft upon the consti- tuition of Arizona. That system pro poses to destroy the American system of government and substitute therefor the cardinal principles Of Socialism.
 What is the American system? Slm- ply a system of representative Democ- racy-a system dividing the govern ment into three branches, each hay ing equal power: the executive, the legislative and the judicial.
 In place of this system it is propos- ed under the initiative and referen- dun to take away at least two of these branches-the executive and tie egislative-their responsibility. It is proposed that, instead of picking out and electing the best men we can fin l to confer together and make our laws, subject to the approval of Q governor elected by the people, that we shall have, under the initiative and rcfcr- endum direct legislation.
 That Is to say, while we keep-for a while at least-the useless appenda5e of a legislature every man Is to make his own laws" Some men or group of men conclude that their interests will be served by the passage of law by the people of the state. They frame their law and start 8 petition for its adoption. The law is submitted to the people for enactment at the polls.
 Other groups of men in various parts of the state do the same thing. As result the people are called upon as in Oregon, to pass upon gre.t number of laws with which they have had little opportunity to make them selves familiar, laws which they hare no power to amend so as to mako them satisfactory, but which they may kill by invoking the referendum. Many of these laws here, as in Oregon, would be plainly contradictory to tho other It matters not that the laws SO passed may be in violation of the con- stitution. The constitution, having aH- thorized direct legislation, is itself SC: aside by every law that is in opp" si- to a constitutional restriction.
 Everybody admits that the repre- sentative system does not always work perfectly, for men are not per feet, nor arc the best men elected to the legislature.
 But the simplest remedy is to elect better men. And under system of .di- rect primaries, free of machine control there is no excuse for the voters if they do not elect good men.
 Such defects as may attach to the representative form of government can be easily cured. There is no way of curing the defects of the Socialistic system of direct Legislation.
 Every republic in the past has gone through precisely the process that the Socialists propose for this Republic Other republics have drifted to "d!- rect legislation" and from that into chaos-and from chaos into despotism.

THE CYCLONE
BY BILL ME

Those who know me best will remember that 1 have never, openly or secretly, written or uttered sentiment that could in any way be warped into an ad verse criticism of the cyclone. Whatever 1 nay have learned or observed derogatory to a cy- clone and it's cruel and treacher- ous nature, I have rehgiouSly kept to myself. l have even gone so far as to stand up and champion the cause of the cy- clone when it's enemies sought to damage it in my hearing. When others spoke i'll harsh aud sever tones of the vandal, mur derous work of the cyclone l said, "Ah, yes, gentlemen, but do not overlook the great work of purifcation that is done in its mad gyrations! Think how nec- essary gre these atmospheric up heavalS to rid us of superauous electricity and purify the stag nant air!
 did this until 1 suffered per sonally among men, and even the blue-nosed and sore eyed hoodlum pointed at me as l pass ed, and said, "There goes Bill Nye, the friend of the cyclone. '"
 And what is my reward for all this?
 Like a peaceful Apache, steal ing up through the sheltering ambush to saw open the wind pipe of dear friend, comes the ringtail pealer of the sky, scarcely moving the green leaves as he steals along the valley on his hind legs. The air is like the atmosphere of death. No sound is heard except the dull thud of the woodman's axe as it buries itself in the heart of a pine tree that belongs to some one else. The sun has dropped behind a dull gray cloud that is faced with pale green. Still lower down the steel gray and purple clouds come boiling over the tree tops The tree toad makes few desultory remarks, the katydid says ''good evening" |" and the premature twilight has come.
 Up from the southwest comes ssullen mutter, a crash and a roar, like twenty oceans in joint caucust. he rush of falling trees, the crash of giant hailstones, the thunder of falling waters, and, like the deadly charge of heav. ems artillery, it is over.
 That is cyclone-one of the adult variety when it is feeling well. When you see one of that kind sliding up the sky do not try to twist it's tail as it goes by. 1t takes a strong, quick man to reach out over the dashboard aud twist the tail of a cyclone. He
