LOOP HOLES FOUND
in CONSTITUTION
Officials Likely to Get Three-Year
Terms Instead Of 0ne--Justices
OF Peace Hold Over
OFrom Thursdays DaiIy.)

IL there he no election in 1912, they
will naturally continue in office I'M
til after the regular election in 1914.
This contingency is due 10 the
fact that the constitutional conven-
ton in framing the provisions sbove
quoted, assumed that statehood would
be fact in March or soon there
after. If Governor Sloan, only takes
the minimum time allowed by law
for setting the date for the primaries,
the general election cannot be held
until December. The election laws
Of Arizona provide that the returns
shall be canvassed on the third Mon
day after the election. This task
will require several days and IL is
hardly probable that the official re-
suit would reach President Taft be
fore the end of the year. In that
event the state would not be admit
ted until 1912 and consequently there
could be no election, under the CON
stitutiop, in that year.
Another important matter over
looked by the constitution makers is
that no provision is made for the
election of justices Of the peace mt
the coming election. Sec. o Of Art
icle vi says: "The number OF
justices of the peace to be elected in
incorporated cities and towns and in
precincts, shall be provided by law"
This is Interpreted by lawyers to
mean that no justices can be elected
until after the legislature has con.
vened and specifies the number Of
justices ms called for In the consti'
tuition. Hence these officials now in
office will have ut least another
year TO serve and may have a thres
year term IL there be no genera
election in 1912.
| Altogether the constitution Is pro
dueing some peculiar problems an'
situations.

N remained for Prescott attorneys
to discover that under the constitu-
ton as adopted, all Officers elected
at the coming election will hold Of
flee for three years instead of one
year. if Arizona should not be ad-
mitted TO statehood until 1912. That
this contingency is likely Is due to
the fact that the primary election
and the regular election will consume
so much time that the returns may
not reach the president before the
first OF the year.
Section IL of Article VII OF the
Constitution reads; "There shall be
general election Of representatives,
in congress, and Of state, county and
precinct Officers on the first Tues.
day after the first Monday in No
vember Of the first numbered year
AFTER THE YEAR in which Ari
IONA is admitted 20 statehood and
biennially thereafter
This means that il President Taft
does not issue his proclamation ad
hitting Arizona as state, until the
early part Of next year, there would
not be another election until 1914
Hence the officials chosen at the
coming election would hold for three
wears under Section II of Article
XXI which says:
"The term Of every officer to b'
elected or appointed under this con
stitution or the laws Of Arizona shall
extend until his successor shall b.

NEAR FIGHT OVER

Political circles were again stirred
yesterday from center to circumfer.

Henry 4. Ashurst ard Michael q.

United states senator, and the other
a supposed receptive candidate.
1t was bloodlcss battlc--a mere

fault of Mr.. Ashurst who at one
time had his coat partly off but was
restrained from violent hostilities by
bystanders. Mr.. Cunniff was also
apparently eager to "mix' things,
and had there been fistic collision,
some one would have been slightly
disfigured, at least. This fitting and
intensely interesting curtain raiser to

SANTA rE PLANS
FAST TRAIN TO COAST
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

Sixty-three hours from chicago 10

nouneement which was made yester'
day by officials of the Santa Re rail
road and which is likely to preeipi-
tate a speed war among the western
roads which will eclipse anything OF
the kind within the last decade.
Several years ago the Union Paci-
fic announced q seventy'two hour
schedule to San Francisco and Los
Angeles. At that time the three day
schedule, taking into consideration
the crossing of the Rocky mountains,
was regarded AS a marvel in ran
reading. Through the expenditure OF
millions Of dollars in Strengthening
the route, in double tracking, and in
boring many tunnels, the running
time was reduced to sixty'eight hours
Now comes the plan to cut five
hours from the present fastest run
ming time to the coast.
