A WASTE OF
TIME AND MONEY

The legislature of Arizona will
elect two United States senators
today wednesday,. 1t will
have consumed altogether not
more than two hours of the time
of the legislature of that state,
and is merely a routine, arous-
ing no contention or bitterness.
The whole thought and time OF
the legis ators can be given to
the business of legislation.
The election of two senators
by the New Mexico legislature
has already taken the time and
attention of the legislators for
more than two weeks, a week or
more previous to the time when
balloting began having been de-
voted to that absorbing question
fully as much as since.
1t has put four members OF
the legislature in Jail, and no
matter what the outcome OF the
investigation, stigma will rest
upon them for the remainder OF
their lives.
1t has made a scandal that has
| cached to the four corners OF
the nation and given the state
an unenviable notorlety. VI
course there are others, but thai
doesn help New Mexico.
It has made and will continue t(
make sores that will not hea
during the lives of the men en-
gagged in the struggle,
It has SO distracted and tori
up the legislature that halt III
working efficiency has been des
troyed.
It is a shame and disgrace,
waste of time, money and en-
ergy.
Give the people chance at
next time, and all this will b
avoided.
This isn't politics. It's com
mon sense.
