The democratic party of Arizona
will. in few months, be face to
face with State election, and the
sooner the leaders come to the real
ization that the people of this State
will not tolerate any boss rule, or
bosses, the better chances it will
have to succeed. If the life and
hopes of the great democratic party,
nation or State, is dependent upon
the whim of any one man, then it
is deplorable condition, but thank
goodness it is not. Men and news
papers come and go. but the great
principles for which the party stands
go on forever, and the few would
be bosses in the Senate and else
where, might as well understand
this first as last, and if the party
goes to defeat in the coming cleo
tion in this State, it will be because
of the bullheaded foolishness of
these big men,"

Having failed to get through the
legislature, the bill! providing that
none but English-speaking laborers
can be employed in Arizona, Sena-
tor Alfred Kinney, of Gila county,
has made his plans to have the mat
ter placed before the people through
the initiatory petitions. AS soon
as this legislature adjourns friends
of the proposed law will form an
active organization to take charge
of the vigorous campaign that will
be waged in this state in its favor.
1t will be necessary to get 5000
names to the petition to initiate the
proposed law, but those in favor of
the move declare that this will cause
them no trouble.

IS PROPER

1t comes with an exceedingly poor
grace for many leading English
dailies to criticise in no gentle terms,
the Senate committees investiga-
ton of the Titantic disaster. Such
an article is calculated only to direct
the attention of American travellers
even more to the German and French
lines. Had it been a Yankee ship
per whose American president, five
officers and 2l0 members of his
crew nearly one-third of all the
rescued reached Liverpool in safety
while 1,635 British subjects drowned
there would have been something
more than investigating" To
their credit, however, few of
the London dailies heartily approve
the Senate action. Eventually there
will doubtless be a branch of an in
ternational marine court in each
maritime country, compentent to
cOduct such trials. H. H. Windsor

POWER AND USE OF 1T

The following pertinent remarks
on the recall show clearly how
ridiculous are the criticisms of the
standpatters who are opposed to it:
Congress does not like the de-
cision of court of four judges, so
it abolishes the court-or proposes
to,and one house of Congress votes to.
Congress recalls those judges.
And Congress might abolish ev-
cry federal judgeship-recall every
federal judge.
The fact that the power of re-
call already exists and has always
existed with the peoples represen-
t$tives is sufficient answer TO the
arguments of standpatters that if
the people had the power of ruling
the courts they would exercise it
wildly and Unfortunately"

that until last year no one in SAT,

No town can grow that does not
tax all its citizens. To place the
whole burden upon the business man
is to shut out enterprise and kill

After laboring long and diligently
to enact a law fixing fairly the sal
aries for the various county officials
of Arizona, the first State legisla-
ture has discovered that the law
passed will not affect any of the Of
ficials who are now holding office
and cannot until there is another
election. Under the Constitution
of the State, the legislature cannot
decrease or increase the salary of
any county official during his term
of Office, hence it will be necessary
to wait until there is an election of
county officials before the new law
becomes effective. In the meantime,
the county officials will continue to
draw their salaries under the old
law. Should there be no election
this year and they are permitted to
hold two years more, it means that
the law will not become effective
until January /, 1915, when new Of
ficials take office.

as soon as they emerge from the
cocoon. If you examine the bands
carefully once each week, and kill
all worms found adhereing to the
band or bark, it will be valuable
aid to spraying. If you neglect the
destruction of the worms under
the bands, they will mature and do
great damage. Banding is valuable
in connection with spraying, but
would be very disappointing if at
tempted as substitute for proper
spraying.
