trary. be is out of the state by ex-
press permission of the governor.
More than one legal hight says that II
he refuses to return, there is no power
I lodged in any person to make him DO
so.
Another incident that has just tran
srired and which has greatly increased
the criticism against the honor sys-
TEN" as at present operated IS the
arrest OF one OF the watchers at the
/ Tempe stOckade in connection with a
COunterfeitlng charge mis- man anu
anOter named Carroll, who is unknown
I here. are in jail. their arrest follow
ing the discovery that quite a large
number of SO and $50 counterfeit
CCins are in circulation in and about
Phoenix. 4 supposed $50 gold piece is
said to have been received by young
/ woman from one of the prisoners at
Tempe the other day The coin was
counterfeit Another counterfeit coin,
this time a SO, was turned loose IN
d poker game IN a Well-knOWn resort
in this city. Several tens and twenties
have turned up at the local banks.
Billy WoOlf, one OF the deputy sheriffs.
was detailed on the case and after
weeks work he arrested g man
named Carroll who seems to be
Qcater without friends or occupation,
and one of the men who guard the
prisoners at the stOckade- The as
the suspicion that the plant may be
located inside the Tempe stOckade
where the convicts sleep at night
The officers are reluctant to talk
about the case; but il IS known that
such q suspicion exists. 1t is also
known that among the cOnvicts en-
plOyed on the Tempe bridge are sew
eral clever cOunterfeiters and the sus-
picions OF the officers are probably
directed against those men. But just
what IS the nature Of the evidence
against the guard under arrest the Of
fIceTs refuse to say.
P1Tr whatever else may oou0a NJ This
investigation and Of the Malta Incl
dent, they mean at least the death Of
the administration prison bill, which
was designed to place full power for
the control of the cOnvicts in the
hands Of the governor. And they viii
have strong favorable effect on the
Craig bill or some other similar
measure.
House and Senate Fight.
Indications regarding the relations
existing between the two houses point
10 storms 1t happens that several
bills. originating in the house, have
been passed and sent to the senate,
only to be sidetracked, when prob
ably Identical bills classified as senate
measures have been substituted The
house has stood this treatment ever
since the beginning Of the session:
hut yesterday there was a sharp and
emphatic protest It came when the
house recall Dill was up for consider
alton The house passed substitute
meet all the requirements of the case.
The bill was sent to the senate and
there, when it came from committee, /
It had q large number Of amendments I
members Of the house say, are entire (
" unnecessary, and the lower body
refused to concur in them So, il now
becomes necessary TO appoint con-
ference committee from each house {
Which shall act upon the bill and re-
port II back 20 both branches Thus I
the recall measure which the members :
had pledged themselves to pass as /
their very first act. is still hung Up Z
though almost half the session is 4
gone
Democrats Cause Delay.
And regarding this subject. A r
Lynch. leader OF the minority Demo-
Gratis in the house, arising to a ques-
ton of personal privilege, sharply /
criticized the majority for the diiauOry
tactics which are so much in evidence
He called attention TO the fact that
the middle Of April is almost
here and the legislature Will adjourn
AlGy is, not single mandate Of the
constitution has been crystallized into
law and he asked the majority what
they are going TO do about il when
-Eey go home to face their cOnstitu-
snts, il they permit the session to go
by without carrying out their pledges. !
Then 1T developed that the special,
committee, which had been entrusted
with whipping the required legislation
into shape, had been trying for tbs
past week to get action from a similar
committee Of Senators, but that moth
ing had come Of their efforts.
Phoenix and the Capital.
Ihere has been some counting OF
noses among the legislators since Mr.
" essel, Of Yuma county, introduced Z
LIS bill providing for the removal OF
the seat Of government from Phoenix
% tucson Naturally a proposition
Of that kind does not arouse any con-
siderable degree Of enthusiasm among !
the MarlcOpa county delegates. nor in. {
deed, among those on the north. But
Martcopa and the north are not the
whole show, and there is no disgufs- !
ing the fact that this county is not in
the best odOr in several sections OF
the state The truth is there is
slderlng all that has been done for
~ arlcopa county, il is pretty nearly
time some other section of the state
should obtain recognition.
That is the talk: but whether anv-
Ihlng VIII come Of II cannot be said /
at this time Everybody who was in (
school 10 or 20 years ago knows thar
az IhaI time the seat Of government !
was shifted around so variousIv that {
IL was almost impossible 10 keen |
track Of It. A school boy couldn't tell
. ON one term TO another whether the
-apltaI was Phoenix, TucsOD Of Pres
Oklahoma Sets Precedent.
Wnen they got ready to admit tho |
, D
shifting propensity and provided i'm l
he enabling act that Phoenix must
'emain the capital until 1925. But Then
he Oklahoma case came along. They
had the same sort Of provision in !
enabling act. to the e. I
ect that the capital must remain AZ |
Guthrie for given number OF years
But the state had been in the union /
Dut a short time until they moved me [
seat Of government to Oklahoma Cftv. |
IND the courts held that the enabIf1g
let had no effect and that the DeoDIe I
II the state could have their seat OF (
government wherever they pleased 81
{ will be seen that MaricoDa cOun+J; I
,annot rely on the enabling act if thera
s a real fight for the removal Of the |
seat Of government .
