THE DISTRICTS SALOON PROBLEM.

There is at last serious possibility that the
excise laws of this town will be modernized and i'm
proved. They assuredly need it. measure has
been prepared by subcommittee of the District
Committee in the Senate, which proposes:
To create a new excise board that will utterly
divorce the management of saloons from the assess
ment of property.
To reduce by nearly half the number of saloons
To check the spread Of saloons into the resi-
dence districts, and especially to provide better safe
guards against their location near to churches and
schools
To increase the license fee from $500 to ST 800
for Saloons so as to keep the revenue up to present
figures.
To no one of these provisions can effective op-
position be made. The present excise law is bad !;
it is invitation to graft and mismanagement the
graft has been good deal talked about in the last
year. and the mismanagement will be apparent to
anybody who will take the trouble to acquant him
self with the character of few of the worse class
of groggeries that infest the town.
There is one feature to which the most careful
attention should be given in framing new law. Not
only should the excise board be reorganzed but its
members should be appointed for very limited terms.
The members are named for indeterminate
periods, and have practically perpetual jobs. That
is the very sort of thing that is undesirable that
inevitably breeds suspicion and justification for sus-
pcion. The excise commissioners ought to be three
in number, appointed for three years, required to
make detailed reports that will mean something
and to have their terms so arranged that one will
retire every year.
There is need, too, for more rigorous law about
the consent of neighborhood residents and property
owners being secured before saloons may open. Nc
neghborhood, business, residence, ought to be
subjected to the menace of having saloon imposed
upon it, Every neighborhood should have the as
sured power to protect itself Under the law as now
written and construed, there is effective protec
ton in this respect.
Washington ought to be made model town ir
respect of its excise administration 1t is about a.
bad as it we'll could be. The Senatorial subcommittee
has discovered how bad matters are, and is propos
ing very desirable steps toward beterment Tn;
legislation ought to pass.

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS
EXPECT WORLDS END

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The end OF the world has been pre-
dicted many times, but It still exists
Nevertheless this event is expected in
the near future by many Christians ard
Jews alike; by the former in about
lightweight years or when we write
1000 A. D., by the latter in about 800
years the world in its present shape
having been created in six days, and
the seventh day following as a day OF
rest, Is accepted to mean that after
6,000 years, a thousand years of rest
will follow. But before this occurs the
Jews are to rCassemble at Jerusalem
as a nation after having accepted Christ
as their Saviour. Great attempts have
been made to again make a nation of
the Jews in the Holy Land, but the re-
quirement OF accepting Jesus as divine
has been overlooked. Not until this

EXILING THE UNDESIRABLES.

Kansas City has been giving some practical at
tenton to the question of the undesirable citizen"
John c. Mabray, who is described "of race horse
syndicate fame ordered by the police to leave
town." He didn't choose to leave town. He liked
Kansas City and preferred to stay there.
He was arraigned before the municipal mags-
trate who promptly discharged him with the comment
that Mabray had right to remain so long he vo-
lated no law.
This is so elementary in its truth that one can
only wonder it called into question. There
must be some facts as yet undisclosed Nobody
would contend that the police had any color of right
to exile man except an alternative punishment
for some offense, perhaps under a suspended SEN
tence. That they could do so under those circum-
stances, by authority of the court is equally certain
This thing of dumping the undesirables of one COM
ntunity upon another city raises nice question: but
a different one. On the whole, the Kansas City de-
csion gives but little comfort to the undesirables

"PLANNING A BOLT.

Now the story is being diligently circulated from
Administration quarters that the Roosevelt support
ers are planning bolt from the Chicago conven-
tion, and the Republican parN's disruption.
It's all a mistake.
The leaders are planning nothing of the sort.
lThey are trying to get the party to adopt course
that will keep the rank and file fromi boiling.
No need to plan a bolt" this year. The bolt is
being made perfectly certain; but the people who
making it certain are not the Roosevelt supporters

SEWER BILL |S
 AN EMERGENCY
Council Memorialized Leg lslature and Governor to Accept the Immediate Clause That Health of Public Be Preserved

Al meeting of the city council
 held yesterday afternoon the sewer
 emergency was discussed and me
 morial adopted which wilt be pre- sented to the legislature and the | governor today.
 There Is no question of the passage | of the bill authorizing Phoenix tn l purchase the Lack sewer system for | $Go,000 but there is danger that the | governor will fail to see the bill as an emergency anu veto it for tha. 1 reason
 The Emergency Is Said to exist be- cause of the delay which may be occaSioncd in joining the new sewer 1 system with the old: because the time limit set for the purchase of the old system has expired. and be- cause of the interest which the city
 is paying. The public health of the
 community is declared endangered
 if there is any delay in completing
 the sewer system now under way
 The resolution which was adopted
 by the unanimous vote of the council
 follows:
 WHEREAS the people of the city of Phoenix at an election called and held for that purpose did authorize this common council to purchase the private sewer system owned by the Phoenix Sewer and Drainage com pany and being the only system serv- ing the most thickly portion of the city with sewerage facilities for the sum of 26O,0O0OO. and
 WHEREAS this common council did pursuant to the vote of th.. people as aforesaid enter into contract with said Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company 10 so pur- chase said system and have unde. said contract of purchase taken pos session of and operated sail sys- tenn as part of the public sewer system of said city for about one wear last past and whereas xai. contract Is about to expire unless payment Is made as therein pro- vided for anu the public health of the city and it's inhabitants will be greatly endangered by the delays necessarily incident to the construc- ton by the city of a sewer covering the district served by said private system and the city also put to great loss in the tearing up of it's pavemcntS as well as in the aIli- tional expense of the cost of con- struction and connection ther, Ni.1 and the will Of tho people as ex- pressed by their votes as aforesaid fail tp be carried out.
 r. n and the citv attorney bc and ,,rc ! hereby directed to bring this situation | 10 the attention of the legislature and | governor of the state of Arizona apI !! request on behalf Of the city that | senate bill No. authorizing the i common council of the city of Phoc- 1 nix to purchase sail private sewer | system may be passed and signed and i became law at the earliest pos l sible time
 Adopted by unanimous vote of the common council of the city of Phoc- nix. April i. 1912.
