Help Beauty Your Town,
AIr. Editor.

Mr.. Editor.
Wherever there grows a shade
tree there is less money TO spend
keeping down weeds on the streets
or sidewalks, Aside from it's looks
the pay Of trer is ten times its
cost during the years it lives. The
season for planting them is near at
hand. If our town is too poor to do
30, wont our citizens develop enough
public spirit to each put few trees
in front of his place, and thereby
help to make the town place Of
beauty, and incidentally lower his
own taxes BY making the cost Of
keeping down weeds much less.
These trees of suitable size for
planting can be gotten at not ex-
ceeding 20 cents tree and would
be well money spent. The proper
time to plant them is just after the
leaves have fallen before Christmas.
Smaller trees taken with plenty of
roots generally catch up with larger
tress that are stunned in moving
.and can be set very cheaply. The
two pretty oak trees in front Of the
auto shop were taken by the writer,
when not quite as big as a buggy
whip, and set there because reject
ed a. too little to accept from par
ties furnishing trees for the side
walks. The larger ones mostly
died. We can add toA our town
wonderfully BY spending hhat wont
amount to much to the individual.
Respectfully

Not only in legal procedure, but
in legislation, there is a growing
tendency to recklessness and indif-
ference in matters touching tho
safety Of the citizen 3 honor.
One Of the forms in which this
danger manifests itself is in the en-
largement Of the normal definition
Of crime. Our statute books arc
swelled with a mass Of minor en-
actments creating misdemeanors
embrace wrong-doings Of a charact-
er which properly and essentially
constitute crime, and which ought
to be, as they in truth are, allowed
by the penalties Of civic degrade
ton.
Other statuary misdemcanors do
not belong in this class. They are
arbitrary and sometimes absurd
At most, they are designed to rem
ely those wrongs which should be
punished by a financial mulct, and
which call for civil suit by the
state to recover Il specified sum,
and not for the conviction of q de-
PENDANT, and his relegation TO the
criminal class.
This article il in part designed as
a protest against unsciehtific deal
ing with that body Of offenses
known as misdemeanors, and
against the consequent branding Of
many citizens as criminals for acts
which morally and philosphically
are not crimes at all, but are rath-
ser, errors, or acts, discountenanced
by public policy.
CHANGING over a>standard edition
of the Penal Code Of the State Of
New York, ! find eighteen pages Of
the index devoted to mere enum-
GRAFTON Of those lesser offenses
which are termed misdemeanors in
law.
These mislemeanors must form a
total of about thousand. No lay
man can know them, and even
lawyers are unfamiliar with them,
unless it be those attorneys who
make a speciality Of criminal prac-
tice.
Defining minor invasions Of pub
Tic policy As crimes may not have
reached the extent in some other
states as in New York. But at the
rate at which this style Of legista-
ton is proceeding, it is safe to say
II will not be long before the stat
ute books Of the different. states
viii specify something like fifty
thousand minor offenses on which
citizen may be liable to arrest.

MURDOCH HOPEFUL
He Thinks He Sees the Rising Tide of
 insurgency.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-VictOr Murdock. congressman from Kansas, who arrived here from Washington, in ar inter view with the Chicago Tribune predicts the ultimate triumph of the principles of insurgency and prophecies that the next United States senate will be con- trOlled by the progressives. Tariff re- vision will follow.
 The next session of the senate will be dominated by the progressive ele- ment, without regard for the party la Del,'' said the Kansan.
 "The next house of representatives will also have a progressive majority that will surprise the nation. With the progressive representatives in control of both houses, tariff revision, schedule by schedule, will become a fact.
 Tt is funny to see the way in which the standpatters are adopting the creed of the insurgents. From one end of the country to the other they are changing front. The day of the old fashioned statesman-the fellow who could get elected repeatedly on the promise of a new postoffice for his constituencies ended. The people have come to the realization of the fact that congressman are elected to make laws"

4 SENSIBLE VIEW
 BY FINAL PEOPLE
Whatever They Want They Have to
 Get Statehood First.

Paul R. Ingles returned yesterday afternoon from Pinal county where he made two speeches in behalf of the republican candidates for dele gates to the constitutional conven- tiOn. Mir Ingles was at Ray on Wednesday night and at Kelvin. on Thursday night He will leave today for Casa Grande where he will speak tonight.
 He is pleased with the prospect in Pinal and believes that the republi- can candidates will be elected. not because they are republicans, or ber cause they are opposed to putting the initiative. referendum and recall into the constitution, but because the people want statehood and are con Vinced that it is not within reach if direct legislation is a part of the constitution. Wherever Mir. Ingles was he found an overwhelming sen timent in favor of the initiative. found that the people were taking a sensible view of it and were willing to wait until they could get it.
 The sentiment of the majority is illustrated in the attitude of Judge French who presided at the Ray meeting. In introducing MT. Ingles he told his neighbors. 'I am a dem ocrat and l have always been and always will be don't look at this thing as a political matter state hood cannot be a party matter and

 NAMES OF CANDIDATES-The Republican in yesterdays issue pub lished the names of all the republican. democratic and labor candidates nom mated throughout the territory, eX- cepting that of E. l.. Short, a demo cratic nominee in Yuma county, whose name was inadvertently omitted. Yes terday the following list was fur nished The Republican as the names of the socialist candidates in Mari copa county: Charles Erickson, F.. $. GawthrOp, Aug. J. Hegelund, C. F. James, F. Johnson, J. D. Martin. C. H. Newsholme, F. A. Shaw and O. Strand. It is understood the social ists have nominated tickets in two or three other counties. but their names have not been secured.
 BURNS ClUB-About forty mem bers and friends of the Burns club met Thursday evening at the home of Alex. H. Davidson. on the McDow- ell road, for a houseWarming. The time was very enjoyably spent with vocal and instrumental music, in which Mrs. Forsythe of Glendale and Mir. Ross of Mesa, the oldest mem bers, took part. Dancing was fea- ture enjoyed by the younger mem bers present. delightful lunch was served by the hostess A number of the guests were from Glendale and Mesa. The next meeting of the club will be held at the home of MT and Mrs. James Anderson, 1927 West Jef- ferson street, on october 31. All Scots and those of Scotch descent are cordially invited.
 FINAL RALLY-The final rally of the republican campaign will be held this evening on the city hall plaza. The whole city, nay the whole county and the rest of the world too if il wants to, are invited to come and listen to the final word to be given by the re- publican candidates why their ticket should be supported on Monday, from carly morning until the closing Of the polls. The best of the party's speak CTS will address the assemblage and the candidates will all be in evidence and ready to meet. see and be seen by all who care to look them over The glee club will of course be on hand to liven up the occasion and it will be the one central point of interest for the big crowd that always turns out for the Saturday night promenade.

l am for statehood. l am also for the initiative. referendum and recall but I am convinced that we cannot get it by putting it into the consti- tuition. Ii we do that we will not get anything"
 In his speeches, Mir. lngles declin- ed to discuss the merits of direct legislation. He said that was not the issue: that he said would come later. after the constitution had been ap- proved If the constitution should not be approved it would not come at all.
 MT. Ingles found several initiative, referendum and recall men who said at first that if they could not get constitution with direct legislation in it they did not want statehood: they preferred that Arizona should remain a territory. It turned out that it was the opinion of some that the territory might operate under direct legislation, now that the mat ter had been brought up, and, as they believed. it had been clearly shown that a majority of the voters of Arizona favored it But they were told that wishes could not be real ized in that way The organic act conferred the power of legislation en- tirely upon the legislature and there could be no direct legislation.
