USE SLANG IN MODERATION,
DECLARES PROF. CHADSE,

DECLARES PROF. CHADSEY.
1.-The question as to the benefit or
the disastrous results of the Use of
slang phrases depends entirely upon
the effect which the speaker intends
to make by using them says Sup
erintendeint Chadsey of the Denver
public schools.
Mr.. Chadsey when he was told of q
proposed campaign which Is to be
waged by the English department a
the university of Kansas. against the
use of slang phrases such as a
young fellow calling his best girl a
queen" or an ice cream parlor a
joint and the like.
Perhaps there is tendency
among college students to use slang
a little more than necessary said
Mr.. Chadsey. ?'but when such terms
will bring about an effect that or
1inary English will not convey.
then it is helpful. A judicious use
Of slang Is helpful. as there are ex-
pressions that are short and mean
a whole lot. They add force. or
course there are slang phrases that
ire silly and bordering on the uncan-
ny. 1t would be best to eliminate
these.
II think that the use of slang in
in the lower school as well as college,
should be curbed. Reduce 1t to the
point where no harm will come from
it's use and yet it will carry the eff
fectiveness desired. On the other
hand, students can be trained to be
over-refined.
1.-The use of slang depends on who
is using 1t. There are two classes
Of people whose vocabulary is made
up of certain amount OF slang.
One rs person who uses slang for
effect and the other Is one who
knows nothing else but slang.
THAT used in the writings OF
George Ade, is so artistically handled
hat 1t Is forceful. Col. Roosevelt
does not have to ube slang. but he
finds 1t more effective in making the
proper impression by adopting 1t in
his speeches.

House Passes Bill Providing
Appropriation for Can
wasting November Elec-
ton.

Phoenix, Ariz.. June 21.-The house
today passed the bill providing an
appropriation for the board which Will
canvass the election in the coming
November, and the senate passed
bill providing pay for Legislative at
taches.
A new bill was introduced in the
senate designed to restore some Iea-
lures of the old law forbidding prize
fights Most of the time was spent
by both houses with the work Of the
conference committees which are try
ing to agree on final amendments TO
the latest bills. The question Of ad-
journTnent is unsettled and may not
come before tomorrow evening.
Deadlock Over Primary Bill.
The house and senate Of the Arizona
legislature is in the midst OF a dead
lock over the primary bill, which is
now in the hands of the conference
committee The Republicans with the
aid of a couple OF Democrats, nold
the key to the position anad II there
is no change the legislature may ad-
journ without passing any primary
measure
IN the fight against the amendment
to the cons titution annulling the emer-
gency measure the MaricOpa senators
today introduces a substitute provid-
ing for equal suffrage, but after
sharp debate the substitute was tabled
as being out of order. They succeeded
however in preventing the passage OF
q
the suspension OF the rules, and II IS
still before the senate.
Senator Wood accused the Yavapa1
men of introducing the bill to rehaoi-
Iitate their fallen political fortune
He declared that while he was not
heartily in favor of the SURFACE
movement, there is real demand Tor
It while there is no demand what
ever for the proposed amendment
The governor has signed the Dill pro-
viding an appropriation for a state
auditor and the highway franchise
bill. also the corporation measure, the
board of control bill, the tax levy blll,
the bill raising salaries OF penltenu-
arv cbaplains, the bill providing for
bank controllers, pure food Dill,
bill creating a juvenile court and Dill
creating the office of state engineer
The house registration bill has
passed the senate.
Important Bills Passed.
Under the governors call, 80 subjects
were TO be considered by the Arizona
legislature at its special session. OF
course that is not saying these SO sub
iecfs were to be covered fully by SO
bills. but it was thought they could be
fully taken care of by not more than
so bills, and that was about the number
many well Informed people expected
TO be introduced. But as a matter OF
feet. about $50 regular bills were
thrown into the hopper in addition TO
several resolutions Of one sort or an
other which,. while not classified as
bills take the same procedure and re-
ouire an equal amount of work IN their
The most important of the measures
which got through both houses were
the bills providing for the require
ments of the state educational lnstltu-
lions. the penal and charitable institu-
tions, the appropriations Tor the Narl-
ous state officers and departments

only one representative to elect could
well afford to send voters into larger
and close counties where there might
be half a dozen to be chosen.
Representative Lewis, of ella county,
made a naive argument in favor of the
bill. He said he had too much faith in
the integrity of his fellowmen to be-
lieve there is anybody who would try
to vote Illegally under this bill But,
though quite number expressed a
doubt as TO the correctness of this ar
gument, the bill was passed by a large
majority. It had already passed the
senate and with concurrence in few
minor amendments was ready for the
governors signature
Legislative Work Is Felt.
Already some of the effects Of leg
islative work are becoming apparent
A number of representatives of the
Santa Fe, the FL PasO & Southwestern,
and the Southern Pacific railroads have
been in the city in conference with the
cooperation commission fixing up mat
tiers relative to the inauguration of the
three cent fare system which will go
into effect in a few weeks Also, by
virtue of the authority of the recently en-
acted commission code attorney general
George Purdy Billiard has written the
commission a letter calling upon it to
serve notice on both the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific companies to erect
more commodiOus and more sanitary
passenger stations in this city.
There are also some other corpo-
ration matters in which the commits
sion has interested itself and which
viii be watched closely by the public
One of these is the Phoenix street rail-
ways case, by which it will be sought
to compel the local traction company
to render better service to the public
Hughes Makes Record.
If some members of the legislature
played ducks and brakes with their op-
pOrtunities there are also some excep-
tions in the cases of men who have pur-
sued a quiet, steady course, and without
noise and buster, have ssally accom-
plished more than some of the others
who have been in the limelight to a
much greater extent. 1t is doubt
full if any man in either house has made
a better record than has senator John
T. Hughes, of Tucson, who short time
ago was prominently mentioned as a
possible candidate for the nomination
for secretary Of state. There may be
no opposition to the present incumbent
Of this office when the question of the
primary comes up, but there are plenty
