WHAT THE LAW SAYS
(Cont.nued from Page 1.)

in the lights at cost, plus ten per cent of the total There was no men,
 ton of maximum sum which might
 be expended in the work, and the city attorney objected to this part of the contract, stating that it could not be legally drawn up unless there was a sum stipulated beyond which che con- tractor could not, under any circum- stances, hold the city liable. There was Considerable argument about this max imum, and finally Mir. Warren sug- gested that it be fixed at $20,000, as
 this was purely a technical detail, ev- erybody present knowing, or being req sonably positive that the lights would not cost anything like that sum, and the lcompany's agreement to put the stand
 ards in at actual cost preventing the contractor from taking advantage of the maximum, if he so desired.
 "The members of the council are
 aware" said Mayor Christy, 'that there lis no way of figuring the total cost from the contract, except that it will not exceed the maximum estimate. But how anyone can think that the con- tractor can evade the ironclad clause that will force him to submit his in voices to us, is more than I can un- iderstand The city will have an ab- solute means of checking all his &C., counts. I do not think that any reas- onable person would want to have the lights installed at less than cost, and cannot see how the council could be expected to make contract more fla vorable to the city when a responsi-
 ble company has agreed to put in the standards at cost plus ten per cent. and | I might add that fifteen per cent is or ldinarily considered nothing more than a | Legitimate profit for work of this kind. "As regards the criticism directed at | us for not advertising for bids, the paw ling work has reached such a point that no more time can be lost in having the lconduits laid. A delay of another week would have made a very considerable difference in the bid of any contractor who wanted to do the work. I ap- pointed a committee consisting of lCouncilman Warren and McDermott, 1 and Victor Norris to investigate the flight question, and they reported that

Concerning an Alleged National Issue

Concerning an Alleged National Issue
 Some of the congressman at Wash ington are quoted as saying that President Taft has made the recall a national issue.
 Possibly But Arizona is not nearly so much interested in the possibility of being the goat" for the benefit of politics in the nation as she is in se- curing statehood for herself
 From first to last, all through the statehood discussion of the past year, we have heard much of the effect of presidential veto on national poli- tics. It is likely that some citizens of this territory have been so thought less as to find compensation for the loss of statehood in this national issue" proposition. We confess our inability to be so unselfish. We would much prefer to see Arizona come into her own, and let politicians in the na- ton rustic for their own issues.
 And. incidentally, disappointment awaits our democratic friends locally who have been led to believe the re- call will be made an issue by the democratic national convention last year The democratic party next year will not declare for the recall
 The convention may, possibly, if there apepars to be a surviving in- terest in the subject, say something unfriendly concerning Mir Taft's ve- to- but solely on the ground of its conflict with the traditional democratic notion of states rights.
 This attitude of the democratic party in the nation was foreshadowed by all the speeches made by demo- cratic senators last week Every one of them denounced the recall as a matter of principle, many of them said that if they lived in Arizona they would fight it to the last, and not a democratic senator said a word in favor of the recall as a doctrine. They undertook to justify their votes in favor of the Flood resolution by saying, in substance, that although Arizona had made a grave mistake. in their judgment, it was for the people of Arizona to say what sort of a constitution they wanted.
 And that will be the extent of any national issue" that can be raised on the question next year.

to the effect that Protestants are in control of Arizona.
 As a matter of fact, let us say for the information of the greatly es- teemed Life" in no other section of the world does a mans religious be- liefs cut so little figure with his neigh bors as in Arizona Our people are broadly tolerant. They recognize that there is good in every church. They are willing to concede the right of every man to pick his own highway to heaven. When a man is elected to office it is because his neighbors happen to like him, and they don't care a whoop whether he is a Catho- lie, Protestant, Jew, or Mormon. We are not saying that one cannot find bigotry in any denomination that is represented in Arizona's population very likely he can. But an unpreju- diced investigation would disclose that the Arizona Catholic, the Arizona Protestant, the Arizona Jew, and the Arizona Mormon are each and all as a rule-American citizens first and something or other religiously after ward.

They Can't Understand Mir. Taft.

Now that President Taft has con- fused the false prophets and has done just what the well informed republi- cans of Arizona have been saying he would do, it is the end of course, of the silly talk which has been so busily peddled, that he would not dare to disapprove any feature of the con- stitution.
 These noisy assertions of confidence in the presidents cowardice have dis closed in a graphic way the processes of thought and the guiding principles of the men who have indulged in such prophecies.
 The Arizona politician who could not bring himself to believe that MT. Taft would dare" to do this or that has drawn his conclusions, of course, from his own knowledge as to what he would do under the same cir. cumstances. The professional politi- clan being a coward first of all, can not conceive of anybody else having fixed convictions of right and wrong and having the moral courage to stand by his convictions.

Another Reformer Views Us.

Poor old Arizona, Fake reformers at home, and peripatetic reformers from the outside who fit through the territory from time to time, are sue ceeding in building for the people of this grand commonwealth a reputa- ton for provincialism, populism and justice to the real Arizona. The aver age newspaper reader anywhere in the east if asked for his impressions of Arizona, would say: Arizona? O, yes; that's a section where the populism which made Kansas a national laugh ing stock twenty years ago has been born again"
 But it is loading Arizona rather heavily to portray her to the world as a section which is dominated and exploited by this or that religious de- termination. Only year or two ago, serator Depew and other statesmen harangued congress with statements to the effect that Arizona was mere ly a Mormon dependency, and that complete domination by the Mormons only awaited our admission into the Union.
 Now comes a writer in Life" Gone of the sanest and most entertaining publications in the United States, and one of the most widely circulated of all the weeklies), one Mrs. Henrietta Perrine, and tells the world that the Catholics have grabbed Arizona for some fell purpose of their own. In a long communication she tells tho readers of Life" that:
 Throughout Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and western Texas I have found the cities and counties generally controlled by Roman Catholic off cials; and from Mayor Shaughnessy in Yuma to Mayor Kelly in Fl Paso. they were appointing subordinates and aids of their own religious faith. Indeed, there is seldom opportunity for a Protestant to obtain public work in many of these cities
 Rot Sister Perrine, rot! There isn't a place in the world where Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentle and Mormon, dwell together in more complete harmony and with such complete absence of all thought concerning the religious belief of ones neighbors, than Arizona. If Sister Perrine had stopped at Prescott for an hour and learned that Morris Gold water is mayor, she no doubt would have breathlessly announced to the world that all the city officials of Arizona are Jews. If she had stopped a brief moment at Mesa and found a Mormon in the city council, she doubtless would have shouted forth her discovery that all city officials hereabouts are Mormons.
 Sister Perrine was shocked to find that Joe Morrison, district attorney for the United States, is a Catholic. We are sorry for the good lady, who is evidently a Protestant bigot Next week, possibly, some other lady who happens to be a Catholic bigot will sweep through the territory, discover that there are many Protestants in office, and try to raise an alarm among bigoted Catholics with stories
