Plenty of Material On Hand
 For a Constitution EVERY PLEDGE REDEEMED
Forty four Propositions Are Already In Embracing About Every Conceivable Notion, Sensible and FreakiSh.

To the casual observer. # appears that there is no reason why the consti- tutional convention should not quit presenting propositions, lick it's pres ent material on hand into shape and commit the constitution to providence, the president and the congress and await results.
 Forty-four propositions have been introduced, redeeming every pledge, wise or foolish, made in the course of the last campaign There would be no trouble in amicably adjusting such diff ferences as exist and then there would be a constitution which would be the wonder of the ages, the admiration of Oklahomans, and and an object of rev erence to the Oregonians.
 In this mass of propositions there is not everything bad Yesterday was great day for the redemption of pledges and Alfred Franklin of MaricOpa per formed his share He introduced two propositions, providing for the separate submission of the questions of woman suffrage and statewide prohibition.
 By coincidence, about the time of the offering of the prohibition proposi- tion there was received from Superin- tendent Burke of the anti-asaloon league a telegram from Graham coun- ty saying that the upper Gila had gone dry by a big majority.
 The recall received some attention. MT Weinberger introduced a proposi- tion on that subject. It provides that an office holder may be given a sec ond run for his money on the petition of 9 per cent of the voters of the state, county or municipality which elected him. But the official, whatever may have been his enOrmity indicating his unfitness for office, cannot be recalled until he has served six months, long enough presumably to recOup himself for his campaign expenses. At the same time of his attempted recall nom- nations may be filed for the office which may become vacant and at the same election 'the nominee receiving the highest number of votes is to fill the vacancy.
 Sidney osborn of MaricOpa present. ed another recall proposition. It also provides for petition signed by 9 per cent of the voters of his bailiWick. According to MT. Osborn's plan the ballot shall set forth in not more than 25O words the officers alleged offense. IT within five days after the proceed ings are begun, the officer should re- sign to save his bacon, the machinery will be stopped and the fire pulled.
 It occurred to Mulford Winsor of Yuma that there was more room in the initiative and referendum department and he accordingly presented another proposition which does not differ great .f ,fal hn day before Eight per cent of the voters shall sign the petition for the initiative and , per cent for the ref erendum.
 A fellow servants proposition was offered by. Judge Baker, in which it is stated:
 "The common law doctrine of fel- low servant so far as it affects the liability of the master for injuries to his servant resulting from the acts or omissions of any other servant or serv- ants of the common master is abrogat- ed as to every employe of every rail- road company, and every street railway company or interurban railway com pany and of every person, firm or cor poration engaged in mining in this state, and every such employe shall have the same right to recover for every injury suffered by him for the acts or omissions of any other em- ployes of the common master or em- ployes of the common master that. a servant would have if such acts or omissions were those of the master himself in the performance Of a non- assignable duty
 There were nearly dozen other propositions at the morning session relating to railroad passes the location of the capital at Phoenix for the next fifty years and some others.
 Late in the day. MT. Cassidy o, Mari capa gave notice that today he would try to amend the rules so that no proposition could be submitted after october sl, except by the standing committes. It does not take much of a prophet to foretell what will happen to this oppressive movement Some of the members of the convention have not yet decided which of the many kinds of toothpoyder they will endeav- or to prescribe for the use of the people of Arizona That will have to be done to the end that the convention may not fall into that sin of commission to which Presiden. Roosevelt directed the
