Our Reposing Charter

In the midst matters none of which are important have heard nothing lately of charter which repoSing on the table Of the governor awaiting his approval or his failure to approve.
 AS readers already aware. the obstacle seems he so-caied conflict between certain provisions the charter the state constitution This of harmony k given special weight and prominence by persons suspected of wanting no charter and who believed be opposed to commission form of government: who do not want 7he affairs of the city removed from swirl O partisan politics.
 Nine lawyers out of agree, and the best are among the nine. that there reality be no such thing d conflict between the offending provisions and the constitution The provisions by their very of harmony with the constitution utilities nothings. There be conflict be- tween constitution and nothing. We have tr.versed this ground before but we recalled by am incident of the controversy over charter submitted the Los Angeles last week. l. defeated and of the of it's de- feat misrepresentation as to alleged pro- vision. that it would require two-third vote to amend it That it pointed out would result in the entrenchment of any faction which happened be in power
 There in fact such provision in the charter. though majority of the voters had been led believe that there IL was later pointed out that if there had been such provision il would have been effect since the state con stituton provides that the voice Of the majority shall rule in California in all matters. Even the opponents of the constitution. and there many good lawyers among them. never contended in the course of the campaign that the charter invalid because that alleged provision did not conform {" he constitution
 Certainly. if they had entertained belief that such q want of harmony fatal to the charter tbat would have been their foremost argument against
 In our case the state constitution contains few general provisions applicable to the govern ,nent of all cities and towns. They must prevail regardless of charters and they will prevail in Phoenix either under the present or the proposed charter As these provisions, our own charter either should have been made to conform purely in the interest of symmetry else it should have been silent in the interest of symmetry. And as. a matter of fact eh effect silent.

Deposits of Nickel Ware

United States geological survey states that limited quantities of nickel also produced in Norway and Germany. The use of nickel is ap- parently growing. especially in steel and in nickel plating. The of the recently introduced alloy known mOnel metal seems to be growing also This alloy is produced by smeltng the nickel copper ore, with attempt to separate the copper from the nickel The smelting process is thus made much shorter and cheaper and the alloy can be sold at lower price than pure nickel. For some purposes is said be better than any known metal. as it corrOdes less easily than brass bronze, and in strength compares well with steel

Agitation been rife among bakers through France of late possible law expressing night labor in bakery and pastry shops A division of opinion has resulted Among the bakery owners there is opposition tharf among the journey men bakers and apprentices It is stated by the bakers in Lyons that the suppression of night labor would increase their general expenses and they demand the right work when they like. accord ing the needs of their customers. They state furthermore, that when bread is made during the day it's preparation and removal from the ovens would cucumber their shops and they would be obliged to take larger quarters augmentng the price of bread Less bread would be sold because people fresh bread more than that which is not fresh. The question is unsettled. but chief argument against the project lies in the fact that in Norway and in of the Swiss cantons, where night labor had been suppressed in the bakeries the law repealed by of the difficulties it's application and the complaints of the public Certainly. if such law would tend increase the price of bread in this district, elsewhere in France, there would be less likelihood it's ment.
