BIDS FOR DOUGLAS
 PUBLIC BUILDING

DOUGLAS. July 6.-(special)--
 In the International today will be found the advertisement of the gov ernment calling for bids for ground for site for the new government building which it is proposed to erect in Douglas. In the public buildings bill passed by congress on the eve of its adjournment. thanks to Delegate Cameron. there was in cluded an item of s15.e00 to be used in purchaseing a site for a public building in this city. It was hardly to be expected that the matter of se- curing this site would be undertaken so soon. but 1t is to be presumed that Delegate Cameron advised the department officials in Washington that the sooner the site could be se- cured in Douglas the better because of the strong probability of advanc- ing real estate values here.
 Yesterday there was considerable discussion concerning desirable and available locations for the new build 1 ing here.
 Sites were mentioned all the way from Eighth street and c avenue 10 F avenue and Twelfth street It was generally agreed that the ideal To- cation for such a building would be at F avenue and Tenth street. The corners here are now respectively occupied by the Webb Airdome. the Copper Queen library. the Dicus plumbing shop and the Quinn Air dome At the corners of and Elev- enth and Twelfth streets are also sufficient ground to accommodate the government building The Copper Queen also owns an available site at the corner of Tenth street and E avenue.
 While the advertisement call for piece of ground 140x140 feet 1t is likely that six. or even five lots would fill the bill.
 As the new building will he the ! future home of the postoffice all will desire that the most central and con venient location will be secured but the question of value will necessarily have to be considered. It is doubtful if the most desirable location can be secured for the amount of money available to pay for 1t.
 Tn the advertisement it is made known that a donation for a site would be acceptable. but there will hardly be anything doing along this line in Douglas. anywhere nearer the business center of the city than some of the outlying additions. ceased

THE CONSTITUTION.

Editor International:-

Editor International:-
 Often. when an unfamiliar prob- lem is presented to us. and we are called upon to act in a matter of great moment in which our individ- ual experience furnishes US no guide, we can gain clearer view of the real principles involved by seeking some analogous case in ordinary bus mess life.
 A state constitution may be likened to the charter of a company-its main object Is. besides giving the body a legal existence. to establish the different departments and func- tions. and to define and limit their powers. All the minor transitory rules and regulations are properly left to the legislative body-its board Iof directors.
 Now. when number of even our most capable business men decide to form a corporation. to engage in mining or any other enterprise. they do not hold a general meeting in which charter is framed of sections offered by each and every member and adopted by a majority vote. but an expert Is engaged. skilled sn that particular line. and he in turn. in- stead of attempting some new crea- non, studies models that have stood ne test of time-adopting from this one and that, only altering or creai- sun. moon and stars turned green. ing where absolutely necessary to meet some peculiar local condition.
 Just forty-six states have already gone through the periods of orsani- zation and then lived their corporate lives-trying this and that innoya- tion-some beautiful in theory but not standing the crucial test. Can the citizens of Arizona in the pres ent emergency possibly do better than simply to adopt those provisions that heve already been tried and found good by their brethren of ott- CT states?
 The only comparatively new prin- ciple the incorporation of which into our new constitution merits serious thought is that of initiative and ref erendum. and that should be submit ted to and decided by the voters. Were such a procedure legal and feasible we should follow the same plan in forming our political charter that we would in one where our busi- ness interests alone were involved engage two or three of the most learned and capable political econo- mists of the nation. one from each political party-say Judge Harmon of Ohio and ex-President Roosevelt each to prepare a draft of a model constitution, formed from those of other states. Then our convention, comprised of delegates chosen by the voters from nominees of each party and actuated by patriotism alone could easily in six days instead of sixty. prepare a constitution for sub mission to the voters that would em body the best thought and expert enees of the entire citizenship of this great nation. containing all necessar, fundamental provisions and leaving to our legislatures all transitory ones And advertising Arizona2
