LEGISLATURE MUST HUSTLE WITH JOB

pany a full equipped law making
 body. Just how many places will be
 made for the faithful has not yet
 been determined but it is a certain
 ty that about ninety-nine per cent
 of the willing applicants are doomed
 to bloom and blush to fame un- 1 known"
 When the legislature is finally or
 ganiZed one of the first of the import ant acts will be the election of two United States senators. Because of i the primary vote this election will be ! purely mechanical Eloquent orators
 will point out the unrivaled merit of
 "our distinguished fellow citizens ! than whom, etc., etc. each oration closing with the acclaimed names of the Honorable Henry Ashurst, and the Honorable Marcus Aurelius Smith ex- ploded with rising infection. Then the legislature of the State of Ari-
 zona in joint session assembled will
 rise upon it's hind feet not to say up
 on the chairs and desks and cheer
 nightly, and some one will inquire
 stridently, if there really is anything
 the matter with either of these dis

A ringing" denunciation will be and a time fixed at which the electorate of the state viii be given an opportunity to say whether or not it desires to go over the head of the presidential disapproval of that section of the constitution and put the freak back into the magma charta of the state.
 After this the deluge, and even the wisest will not predict. There is the presidential primary matter to be fought out; there is the fixing of the next general election" there is the, of new laws, the settling of the tenure of office of justices of the peace, the one or three year term problem, and so many other matters that neither the beginning or the ell is in sight.
 Arizona is an unusually cOsmOpOli- tan state. Her interests are widely and it is certain that the members from various sections will each have some particular legislation his particular county that he
