RAILROADS EXEMPTED
 FROM 3-CENT LAW
Corporation Commission Suspends Law Pending
 an Investigation

PHOENIX, Dec. Under an order issued by the Arizona corporation
 commission yesterday shortly after noon, all the railroads Of the state are exempted from the operations of the three-cent fare law until the cor porltion commission has itself thor oughly investigated the situation and found out whether or not the pro- posed rate is just and reasonable. Tn. der the order, however. all the rail roads are required to- file with the commission affidayits and documen- tary evidence calculated to show that the fulfillment of the provisions O. the law at this time will work a hari- ship upon the company. and that 1t cannot earn a just and reasonable compensation hereunder.
 The law known as the three-cent fare law. which was recently approy- ed by an overwhelming vote Of the people contains a provision whereby the corporation commission has the power to exempt any railroad from the operation of the law upon the re- eeipt of satisfactory proof that such railroad cannot earn a just and reas- onable compensation for the service rendered by il to the public. The corporation after reviewing the con. dition of the case decided that since it was necessary for the whole affair 10 be finally decided by the commis- sion it was also just and reasonable to give the railroads the benefit of the doubt until such time as the law should be decided and the judgment rendered. Acting therefore. with that idea in mind the commission issued the order.
 Friday. the thirteenth, therefore. is not such an unlucky day for the rail roads. as it can be assumed that all will immediately take advantage Of the provisions of the order. Two rail roads. the Arizona Eastern and the Ray and Gila Valley roads, have hero tofore filed applications with the com mission for exemption and upon tue preliminary hearing of that matter the general order was issued.

SENATOR SIMS
 GIVES HISTORY
Says Judge Fonda of Ora ham County, Did Not Tell Facts iE Discussing
 The Measure
BILL WAS REGULAR

That the statement Of W. B Foa-
 da. justice of the peace of Stafford.
 regarding the "smOthering through" ! the legislature of the redistricting ! bill is a gross exaggeration Of the 1 facts is the opinion Of State Sena. tor w. P. Sims The statement was made to the Graham Guardian, and was quoted in Tuesdays issue of the ! Review.
 The statement Of Fonda that the
 bill was smothered through at the | last meeting Of the legislature is ab- surd on the very facts of the matter.
 said Senator Sims yesterday The
 redistricting bill probably had more
 publicity than any other bill taken ID 1 by the legislature.
 Tt went through the regular course
 of procedure in both the house and the senate 1t was taken up by the
 various committees in the house and finally passed that body by vote
 Of 20 to l2 On May the sixth it
 came up before the senate. The next day 1t was referred to the com
 mittee on county and county offices.
 This committee acted favorably on the bill and on May IA it was referred out of the committee. IL was thea read by sections, every section being gone over. A bill could not be given more publicity Or made more clear than by this means. It went to the committee as a whole and was re- ported on favorably by that commit tee. On May the sixteenth the bill was unanimously passed by a vote O. l9 to 0. It will be noted that all the Republican senators voted in favor of the bill.
 With these facts in view it is ridiculous to say that the bill wa3 'smothered In every case it went through the regular legislative chan nels and was finally adopted without a dissenting vote.
 AS regards the contention e{ the precinct officers in their fight on the bill it should be noted that Article 6, of the Constitution of the State ot Arizona. in section 9, states that the number of justices of the peace 10 be elected shall be provided by law. The contention of the precinct off cers on the election proposition would be all right in the cases of superior or supreme court judges, where the law reads. shall be elected" but ar ticle clearly states that it is pro- yided by law the number of justices of the peace to be elected. And the ! law has provided that they shall be ! elected by redistricting.
 MT. Fonda has absolutely dis regarded the plain and easily procur- able facts when he states that the 1 procedure in the case Of the redis- 1 tricting bill was any othr than the 1 regular procedure used by the legis- ! lature in considering all bills

EDUCATO0S MEET
 ID REVISE LAW
Prominent School Men Hold Meeting in Tucson. School Laws Considered and Lit

FEW CHANGES NEEDED

For the purpose of discussing the present Arizona school laws. the board of revision met in Tucson last Saturday al the University of Ari- zona This board Is composed Of eight Of the leading educators in the state and was appointed at the teach CTS association by the entire con vention about six months ago. It was stated that no changes Of any great moment would be made in the laws.
 The board was organized and pro ceeded to get down 10 business. A. J. Matthews, president of the Tempe Normal school was chosen president of the board and Superintendent LO- per of Phoenix was made secretary.
 The function Of the board is to dis cuss the laws, and to make any sug- gestions that are thought best for remedial legislation. On Saturday conflicts and clerical errors were cor. rected. There are several conflicts in the law and these were not seri- cus but changes were made so that all might be consistent
 In speaking of the meeting, C. O. Case, superintendent of public iu- struction said. There will be prac- tically no changes needed. The laws are very good at the present time Of course the world moves on and these will have to be changed at some future date without doubt. I do not say that these are the most perfect laws. At the present time hey are looked upon as being good and will stand for the most part. I don't think that there win be many changes made at the next legislature meeting. # any"

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

1t is known generally that old age
means gradual decline of the natural
powers of resistance, and. therefore,
makes one more liable to disease, but
we seldom think of age as a causative
factor in diseases not peculiar to old
age yet such is the case. There are
some diseases which are limited almost
entirely to infants, others frequently are
termed childrens diseases, while others
are found only during mature life. There
are diseases incident to all ages, although
the greatest mortality is found at the
two extremes of life, during infancy and
old age.
The majority of deaths during infancy
are caused by some disorder of digestion,
due to improper methods of feeding. Every
year hundreds of babies are victims of
ignorance and neglect The birth rate in
every country is large enough so that no
alarm need be felt on that score at pres
ent but the fact that about half the
babies die during infancy is an alarming
state of affairs. The further fact that
many of these might have been prevented
if girls were taught the important studies
of home making and care of babies

AN IRONING TALK

Ev the time the entire wash is put

is. but in about the right condition for
pressing off They should he given a
good shaking after having been taken
from the line. and then be smoothed out,
ard each piece lightly folded together.
Only a warm iron should be used for
fannels. \ not one will be fatal, since
it will scorch al the little fuzzy hairs
on the surface. causing hole in no
time.
Stockings. too may be ironed while
slightly damp. The pressing should be
done on the wrong side. the left hand
shaping the foot as the right Yields
the iron.
This ironing-with the wash-will be
sufficient work for day. the rest
should be left till next morning.
The colored clothes have not been
sprinkled over night. SO this should be
done the very first thing. Warm water
will be better than cold when the
clothes are to be ironed soon after
sprinkling. The hot water spreads
quicker than cold. giving a more even
dampness.
shirts, collars and cuffs are very sell
dom included in the family wash, SO they
may be passed over.
The first on the list are the fancy
linens and delicate starched pieces. The
irons must be hot, and 1t goes without
saying perfectly clean also. Raw starch
is apt to stick to irons. and this mus'
be rubbed Off before the iron is set on
the stove again. Otherwise 1t will burn
on and roughen the surface.
A bit of sandpaper tackled to the end
of the ironing board will be found a
great convenience for cleaning irons. Salt

HOUSE DECORATION
A MATTER OF CARE

House furnishing and fitting is such a
fascinating subject today, when beau
tiful fabrics and charming old reproduc-
| tons OF antique pieces of furniture are
available. that women prefer to evolve
| Their own schemes of decoration to plac-
| ing their orders in the hands of the pro-
| fessional decorator. The result is, there
fore. one Of individual charm rather than
merely tastefully furnished interior.
1t is in the spring season that all the
new patterns in cretonnes and carpets are
declared, and many who plunge boldly
into new and startling color schemes have
learned by experience to modify them
somewhat for the autumn. There are
many things to be taken into cOnsdera-
ton when arriving at color scneme, and
natures lessons are the best: but it must
be remembered also what may be entirely
successful out of doors may fail in it's
effect when applied to the interior of
room.
\ white house is brilliant note in the
landscape. with which it sharply con-
trasts. and the effect is exhilarat.ns. but
a white interior ceases to be gay and De-
comes cold and depressing. If. on the
other hand, white decoration is broken
up with a little molding, and slight va
rieties Of quasi-white. either in free pan
cling or some other form, the decoration
is restful and sufficng.
Green, which is always the restful ma
ture tone, needs softening indoors.
Blue Is an easy color to go wrong in.
and it can be appallingly hard. cold and
cheap looking, but the new Chinese blue
of this season. which is sonorous without
Idulness, is admirably adapted to deco
rative scheme. and has been wonderfully
successful. With Chippendale Chinese
furniture the most fascinating rooms may
be designed
Another Of the few colors of this year
is a clear red. and this will be exploited
for much in the autumn furnishing
schemes. 1t is rich. warm shade for
winter interiors. harmon Zing perfectly
with dark woodwork and oak furniture,
with antique tapestries and oriental car
pets at it's background.

these materials gives as much warmth as
silk and is even more delightful to wear.
especially in the steam-heated apartments
of the city.
The model described above worked out in
crash. with heavy lace or with the popular
worsted embroidery done in dull, warm
colors, would be most attractive. With
these cotton dresses. also. there is an
other new fad-that of giving them col
lars and cuffs. and oftentimes otherwise
trimming them with a smooth surface
flannel.
All sorts Of tricks are resorted to in an
effort to glor,fy these dresses to be worn
at home only. For instance, there are
sashes of chintZ lined with a bright-col-
ored China silk, or metal cordelieres.
which are much newer than the ones of
silk or worsted cord and that can be
found only by ransackng some of the
out-Of-the-way small shops.
There is another sash. also. that is USE
full for the purpose of adding a character
note to gown that is otherwise apt to
be lacking in distinction. This is the '.hus-
sar' sash. which consists of a width of
silk folded in regularly laid plaits to make
uniform width of four inches 1t is
fastened at one side Of the front Over
this. concealng the fastening. is flung a
straight length of the silk nine inches
wide. one end three or four inches shorte r
