THE POPULAR WILL.

The state election assured now to be held this fall will be held under the provisions of the new primary election law adopted by the last Arizona legislature. All candidates and party organizations, including delegates to conventions, are to be elected by the voters at the polls in a duly called election at a specified time, candidates for such nominations are to be put upon the official ballot for the primary, and to accomplish that there must be filed with proper authority a petition for each indi- vidual who aspires to go before the primary for nomination to any place on any ticket. And a fee must accompany every such peti- tion. After the primary those who want to run as independent candi- dates at the general election can have by petition duly filed their names inserted upon the official ballot at the general election as candidates for the offices they seek.
 In all elections heretofore, in small counties and small precincts in Arizona the chief difficulty has been to get the voters to turn out at primary elections for delegates to the county conventions. There is q question whether they will do so any better under the new law by which candidates are nominated at primaries. In the country pre- cincts particularly polling places are remote from the homes of a large part of the voters, who have

been averse to going so far and losing goodly part of a day, if not the whole thereof, to attend Il primary. Upon the other hand in the towns it takes but a few minutes for the individual voters to go to the polls, they lose no time, and they have participated If the same situations hold good under the new primary law the tickets nominated will be domi. hated by the voters in the towns and camps. But even in that event nominations made will be expressions of the popular will so far as it cares to give itself expres sion.

DEMOCRATIC senatorial aspira- tions in northern Arizona seem of the explosive variety. Ashurst of Coconino county has bad two fights, each with a prominent democratic leader: the first with Mike Burns, few weeks ago, the other this with Mike Cuniffe, one of the Democratic delegates in the constitutional convention.

BUCKLE ON YOUR ARMoR.

As all readers of THE OASIS are well aware the statehood resolution as licked into shape after veto of the Flood resolution has become a law, and on Monday of the present week Governor Sloan received off cial notice of that fact from Presi- dent Taft. It is now up to the Arizona executive to issue his pro- clamation calling a state election, which must be not less than sixty nor more than ninety days after the proclamation. Governor Sloan has intimated that the time will be longer than sixty days. Were he to issue his proclamation next week, and gave only sixty days the election would be held early in November. If the longer period be taken the election will fall in December. At any rate the people of Arizona will be in a state elec- tion campaign very shortly. And all who desire statehood should work determinedly for adoption of the condition precedent imposed upon Arizona-elimination from the constitution of the recall of judges.
 The accounts of the procedure upon the resolution that passed the Senate and was accepted in the House, receiving executive approy- al, are very significant. The "pro gressive" senators who have been so solieitous that Arizona shall have statehood opposed adoption of the Smith resolution, and four of them voted against it. They are Bourne of Oregon, Bristow of Kansas, Clapp of Minnesota, Cum mins of Iowa. La Toilette endeav- ored to secure postponement of action, and failing in that he evaded voting by leaving the chamber when roll call came on the vote.
 The significance of the attitude
The oasis., 1911-09-02

of the insurgent senators Is that to them the so called progressive principles" of government are more than is statehood for Arizona. In all this struggle to get through Congress a resolution for admission they have assured the radical element in Arizona that they would get through the constitution as adopted. When they found they could not do that, then they voted against admission. That act will be the cue to the irreconciliables, who will, as predicted in these columns two weeks ago, stand in the coming election against elimina- ton from the constitution of the recall of the judiciary. In this connection THE OASIS calls atten- ton to an excerpt from the Pres colt Courier presented in another column, entitled Patriotic Selig. mar;tes." 1t shows that when statehood for Arizona hung in the balance in the Senate twenty-four citizens of Seligman united in a telegram to Delegate Cameron demanding retention of the recall. But one man who was asked refused to sign. And in comment the Courier said. That may be taken as a fair index of the per- centage of votes in Arizona which would have been cast for the Cute Nelson Cameron resolution had that despotie proposition ever been put before the people of Arizona"
 To the utterance quoted the Courier gave vent before the veto of the Flood resolution. The Smith resolution which passed finally and received executive sanction is  the Cute Nelson. Cameron resolu- ton revived. That will present the people of Arizona the "hobble skirt constitution" derided by the patriotic Seligmanites," so vaunt- ed by the Courier. In their tele- gram and in the Courier comment there Is voiced the sentiment of large element among the voters of Arizona. Can anyone doubt what will be their position with regard to acceptance of the proposed elimination of the recall of the judiciary? With this warning it behooves all who believe statehood the first and paramount considera- ton to buckle on their armor with a determination to win.

m STATE convention of office holders and candidates for Office
IN to represent a political party in the making and adoption
of a State platform is a novel idea that is now to be put
into practise in New Jersey for the first time. Under the old order
of things the party voters in their primaries elected delegates TO
compose the convention, which was therefore directly representa-
tive of the people. If at any time the selection of the delegates
was Influenced by machine managers and the convention was ma.
chine controlled the fault was with the voters, i'll whose power it
was to elect delegates entirely of their own choosing. Under the
new order of things The party voters are not consulted as to the
choice of members of the State convention and they send no repre-.
sentatives TO it. The. law prescribes that certain individuals who
were not designated by the voters for such a duty shall compose The
convention. The Republican convention this month will consist of
seventy four men and the Democratic convention will have seventy
six members. None of these men will have been authorized 10
speak for the party voters and none will have any credentials to
show. IT would be possible for a convention thus organized TO
voice the wishes of a party faction and to force upon a party plat
form principles so offensive as to split the party and insure it's
defeat. But how can seventy four or seyentysix men named in
advance by statute and carrying no mandate from 100000 party
voters in the State presume to dictate to these voters what their
principles are and what the party issues shall be?

To the Editor Of the Evening star;
What is the matter with the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners? They
have given a rigid and lengthy order
to the Public Service Railway Company
on the transfer problem which was to
take effect September 5, but as far as
we can see there are several clauses
in the order being violated every day,
Through the columns of the STAR
these infringements are detailed most
plainly, showing the people that they
are not getting what they are entitled
to.
The Legislature has given the Public
Utility Commissioners immense power.
That power is for the sole purpose Of
forcing public utility companies, such
as the local street railway company, to
give the public what they are entitled
to. There is no doubt about the legality
of the commissioners order regarding
transfers. In fact, the company has
not had the nerve to ask for a stay of
the order, but simply petitioned for an
order to review the decision of the
commissioners. Meanwhile, during the
time it Will AXE the Supreme Court to.
pass on the merits of the decision the
company is violating it.
The members of the utility board
should sit up and take notice that we
do not like their evident intention to
lay back and await the ruling of the
Supreme Court. WANT RIGHTS.

Wants All Dogs Killed.

To The Editor of the Evening Star:
Isn't it about time that a law was
passed making it imperative that dog
owners should mu2zle their dogs dur
ing the summer months, and that stray
dogs should be done away with? Some
of the owners claim intelligence, but
they do not show it to any great extent
when they allow their dogs to run at
large during the summer months I'M
muzzled. And anyhow, what good are
dogs to the city? one human life Is
worth all the dogs in the world, Il
it would not do to tell some dog-own-
ers that. | think that there should
be a law passed that would get rid
of all the dogs in the city. They are
v orthless, and besides they are a posi-
tive enace to human life, especially
the children. who are so willing 10

II + the manufacturing and other concerns in Newark that import
goods and raw material from abroad should bring their m
portations in through the Newark customs house no idea
would be entertained at Washington of the consolidating OF the port
of Newark with The port of Perth Amboy for the sake of economy.
Hv ignoring the customs house of their own city and having their
importations pass through that of New York our importers have
done injustice and injury TO their city in several ways The com.
parative snallness of the business done at this port has discouraged
the department at Washington from giving to the collector the
official force he needs. and. moreover, it had stood in the way OF
harbor improvements. II a merchant or manufacturer can conduct
his business, without injury to his own interests, in ways to benefit
his city it is certainly his duty as a citizen to do so and civic pride
should impel him. In this case the benefit done to the city would
also br a benefit to the merchant and manufacturer

Give Pupils a Chance.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
Why is it that ven a few hundred OF
the children in our public schools can
not be given full time, but have to
attend half sessions? Public education
should come before almost II other
department of our government. If the
Board of Education would only be a
little more far-sighted there would be
plenty of room for all the children,
What if they did build a school or W

use for them in the end, and they
would cost no more now than later; in
fact, they would probably cost less.

the ''drys" and The latter with the
former, when one or the other finds
conditions intolerable. Perhaps, too,
such nice distinctions as "half-Wet'

HARD ON THE PRIVATE CHARITIES.

I'D ENENOLENT societies and institutions at this time of the
I'D year send out appeals for financial aid. Heretofore they
have met with ready and even generous responses from eii-
zens interested in party politics or those who may be aspiring to
public Office. Winter is coming on and the needs of charity and
philanthropy are great and pressing. But until after The Noyem.
her election gifts and donations by party managers and candidates
have been outlawed. That fact should stimulate the charity of
people who are not amenabe 10 the new election laws. 1t is said
that the present year thus far has been the hardest year expert
enced by the charitable societies in the raising of funds, and that
consequently the finances of worthy organizations are in a bad
way. There is beneyolence enough in the city of Newark, however,
to tide these charities over the fall and winter.

FOOD RfO7ING IN VIENNA.

IT'D RICES of food are rising in Austria. too. and they have pro
liz yoked violent popular disturbances in Vienna, attended by
much bloodshed by the military. The recent popular demon
STATIONS in France against the rising cost of living seem to have
inspired the outbreak in Austria. The conditions of life for the
working classes of Europe are about the same in all countries. and
a movement of this kind in one country is always likely to be fol
lowed by sympathetic movements in other countries. Food prices
have risen in Germany, AS we'll as in England, and discomfort may
have its outbreaks in Berlin and London, too.
