The Legislature

There is no doubt but the heights
 of Parnassus look like the veriest
 mole hill to many of the petty demo- .crats elected to the first legislature
 These men got on the ticket, forum lately or unfortunately for them. at a time when almost any democrat could have been elected. So they can hard .Iy play the pouter pigeon act with reference to their own popularity.
 They were chosen because they were on the ticket and that is all. In
 proof of that fact it may be men toned that one man. who was out oi inc state throughout the greater part of the campaign. got practically 'he
 same majority as the others. ana
 likely as large q majority as he would have received if he bad remained here
 all the time.
 The Republican repeats now what if said at the time the campaign was in progress-it is unfortunate that democrats generally of higher standing were not nominated. So far as me nolitical prestige of d legislative po- sitjon is concerned. all that will go for naught. The Arizona legislator IS Inf about the same standing as the councilman in the average small city He is elected 10 do a very important work but the distinction accorded ny the iob is not oppressive to say the least.
 First of all. the legislator should be man of sound integrity. He should also have good business capacity. good hdsment and the faculty of saying
 No
 A multitude of schemes will pe sprung at the first session or tne legislature.

else.
 It will be nondeScript sort of Legislature. but all that can he done now is to make the best of it and keep a strict watch to the end that it's enthusiasm doesn't run away with its reason. IL will have some eX- tremely important work. and if it should make many bad blunders. it is easy to see that it is going to be q mighty expensive proposition to the taxpayers. It is up to the more con servative members of that body--the men of d higher order of capacity and more mature judgment. to see to il that their colleagues are held in proper check And if they do not they may as well understand now that theirs will be a part of the responsibility for whatever blunders are made.
