that will be created by the Consti- tuition. But failing in that another year may elapse before the transi- tion is made from the territorial to the statehood condition-and even longer.
 Those who are holding down the offices feel very complacent in the matter. The enabling act saves them the expense of another cleo tion and possible defeat In this they may see the difference be. tween a republican congress and a democratic legislature. Congress has handed over to the democratic county office holders now in Ari zona, practically another term in office without the cost, annoyance or trouble of another election Upon the other hand the democra- tic legislature of Arizona, wherever it could hit a republican office holder and deprive him of emolu' ment hesitated not at doing SO. Yet the party with such record for playing peanut politics prates about giving Arizona "a broad and liberal" whatever that may be- constitution.

THE TOPIC OF THE TIME.

In the approaching constitutional convention which will frame a fundamental law for the great state of Arizona, and the selection of the men who are to discharge that grave duty there has been put upon the people of Arizona a grave res possibility. These men should be the brightest, the best and the most substantial in every county. It is time in which peanut poli- ticians and tin horn statesmen should stand aside or be stood aside. Those ought not be con sidered for moment who hang by the eyelids upon the ragged edge of circumstance and are supported as mysteriously as were the fug- tive Hebrew prophets, who were fed reputedly by the ravens-they must have had diet of carrion. But the men selected to represent the various counties in that con- vention should be men who stand for something in their commun- ities, men who have achieved suc- cess, who are anchored in Arizona so firmly that the new state cannot advance without their advance ment, cannot suffer without their suffering.
 And more than that the dele 1 gates should be men with fine sense of discrimination and some imagination. There will be pre- sented for incorporation in tho proposed fundamental law many
 new propositions-some of then good, some bad and others indiffer
 ent. Some of the good ones may
 not fit Arizona at all. That is on,
The oasis., 1910-07-02

reject, and at the same time they should have the sand" to vote against and work against adoption of anything that a fine sense of discrimination would convince them would not work to the well fare of Arizona. The work cut out is not work for weddings. It is
 work for men-men in every sense of the word.
The oasis., 1910-07-02
THE APPoRTIoNMENT.

Under the enabling act Governor Sloan has announced the appor. tionment among the various coun- ties of Arizona of delegates to the constitutional convention as fol. lows: Apache, 1 Cochise, 10; Co., conino, 2; Gila, 5; Graham, 5; Maricopa, g; Moiave, 1; Navajo, 2; Pima, 5; Pinal, 2; Santa Cruz, 1; Yavapai, $; and Yuma, 8.
 The apportionment to Santa Cruz county is somewhat of sur. prise and disappointment. With a constitutional convention em. bracing sixteen more delegates than there are members in both branches of the legislature it was assumed that the county would have two delegates at least. And in the apportionment as made there are at least two counties which are given two delegates each that fall behind Nogales in popula. tion and taxable values. But their advantage lies in the fact that the total vote cast at the last general election is the basis of represents. ton in the convention, while the legislature is apportioned according population. The disadvantage to Santa Cruz in the basis adopted lies in the fact of the large alien population it embraces, and the large number of absentees at cleo. tion time who are engaged in em- ployment or business in Sonora That was exemplified in the con trast of the registrations and votes cast at Yuma and Nogales in the municipal elections May 23d' According to the census (unOfficlal but approximately accurately, Yu' ma and Nogales towns have about the same population-in the yicin' ity of 4000 each. Yet Yuma has a registration of 600 voters, while that of Nogales is less than 3OO; and at Yuma about 500 voters went to the polls, and at Nogale' there were but a fraction more than 200. In those figures may be read the reason why Santa Cruz Will
 have but one delegate in the con- stitutional convention, while Yuma
 will have 3, Pinal 2, Coconino 4 and Navajo 2; yet Santa Cruz eH' ceeds in population and taxaOlS values at least two of those nameu' and is a close third with the other two.

NO ELECTION THIS YEAR.

Ever since enactment of the statehood bill there has been con siderable assertion and denial with regard to the effect of the enabling act upon the regular territorial and county elections due by law to be held in November: one set of men and newspapers asserting most positively that there will be an election; another set declaring with equal positiveness that the enabling act has suspended operation of the territorial law providing for such election. Purposely has THE OASIS refrained from taking any part in the dispute. It had an idea that there would be no election; but it was not so cock sure in the matter as have been some of its contem- poraries; so it preferred to await receipt of an official copy of the enabling act, of which Congress provided for printing 10000. Tues day there came from Delegate Cameron a much desired copy oi the statehood bill; and upon in- spection of the document it was determined that those who held there will be an election this year were in error. The act provides that county and territorial officials elected in 1908 including the dele gate in congress, will continue 1T their offices until the new state il proclaimed by the President; bu there shall be no session of the legislature in 1911.
 The effect is that those now il office will have their terms pro longed at least six months, anC possibly they may retain their job eighteen months or two years be fore having to deliver over to thei successors under the state govern ment. As indicated by THE OAsI last week all the short cuts in tn road to complete statehood vii have to be taken to have ready fo inauguration by July 1st, 1911, tn new state and county government

OF F ICE R S.:

of the tendencies of men in making paper constitutions. They siege
 upon fine ideas and incorporate them into fundamental laws with
 out any idea whether they fit the
 genius of the people for whom
 they are intended. And that is
 the very tendency to which Ariz-
 zonans are prone, as shown in the
 history of their legislation, and in
 many habits and customs they
 have adopted because they looked
 good and worked we'll elsewhere.
 The direct primary election law is
 a case in point. It works finely in
 Los Angeles and other large cities
 in California, and probably it
 works we'll in the densely popu-
 lated rural districts of the older states. It works well also in the
 larger towns of Arizona; but it doesn't work at all in the isolated
 precincts in the mining districts and upon the cattle ranges of the territory. A similar case is the effort to beautify and adorn the streets of Nogales. Because the
 parking system of the streets look
 ed we'll in Pasadena and other southern California cities someone thought it would look finely in Mo-
 gales. So it would; but the condi-
 tions-limited water facilities, etc., are such that it is wholly impracti-
 cal. Had all the property owners put into practice the proposed sys- tenn, a large part of the trees planted would be languishing and dying for want of water right now.
 Water is so scarce that the Water Company requests property owners to run it upon their lawns and trees but an hour morning and
 evening. That time is not suffi-
 cient to keep in good condition a
 lawn fifty feet square with four or
 five trees and half dozen rose
 bushes. Yet under the parking
 system, duly adopted by municipal
 ordinance, every residence lot in
 town should have three or four
 trees in front to be kept alive
 through the protracted system oI drought now being experienced
 They could not all live; more thar half of them would die. It will bt the same way in the constitutional convention. Many measures vii be proposed that look well anC ] work well elsewhere that are no fitted for adoption or use in Ari r zona. And that is why THE OAsI
 asserts that the delegates sent {, : the convention should be possessed g of imagination and discrimination g they should have imagination suffi | cient to depict in their own men e talities the probable operation il y Arizona and under Arizona condi Q tions any new proposition; an' : they should have such a sense o Y discrinination that thav wou1

BURNS POTATOES AND MEAT

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Our cook was on her vacation. She
went on Monday morning and l had
to get dinner, so l decided to make
cake.
I got everything out to make it ana
mixed it up and put it in the oven.
After l put it in l remembered l had
not put the baking powder in. | looked
in the oven, but the cake had not
started to bake, so l took 1T out ana
mixed in the baking powder and put
il into the oven again. l took II out
and it was baked a golden brown.
Then I thought l would make tie
frosting I did not have any pulver-
lied sugar, so 1 took lump sugar Cor
thought I did. I put it on to COOK
and it got like starch, but I let 1t alone
and when l looked at it again 1t was
thick and starchy like. I had taken
starch for lump sugar. had to make
some more frosting.
cut the cake to see if it was good.
When I took a ite it formed lump
in nv mouth. 1t was not baked and
7 had to throw it out. My dinner that
day was a failure.
The potatoes were burned and the
meat was tough. l made tea ana IL
was like water. I put red pepper IN
the pepper shaker AMI sugar IN the
salt shaker.
I made some gelatine for supper and
thought I had made it nice and II
was like leather
In the morning the coffee was black
and smoky The eggs were hardy
