FAYE OF KINNEY
 BILL IN DOUBT
Many Irregularities in Sig natures to Be Corrected
 Before Submitting

PHOENIX, July 22.-Aeeording 10
 an opinion rendered yesterday by
 Lewis T. Carpenter, assistant attor- ney general, the Kinney initiative pc
 tition seems to be sufficient. The opinion is contained in a letter to
 sae secretary of state and is in an sYer to a letter by Secretary Osborn asking for a ruling as to the sufl- eiency of the petition on various points.
 The Kinney petition, on the face of 1t, contains only signatures more than the constitutional number. This, of course, is sufficient to entitle it to a place on the ballot at the coming election; but it happens that certain irregularities have raised a doubt as to the legality of several of the peti- tions now on file.
 For one thing, the petitions cin. tain 65 names that do not show the date of signing and whose owners neglected to indicate the place of their residence. One of the questions was whether this omission could be supplied by any person other than the signers.
 The assistant attorney general an- swers this question in the negative and in so doing he refers to the con stitutional provision covering the matter. which is as follows:
 Every initiative petition shall contain the declaration of each petitioner for himself that he is a qualified eleetor of the state q" and shall contain his postoffice ad- dress, the street and number, If any. Iof his residence, and the date on which he signed the petition"
 The assistant attorney general, therefore, holds that each signer of a petition must himself and in his own behalf indicate on the petition his place of residence; and that this work cannot be done by the circula- tor Of the petition or by any other person.
 It is intimated, however, that there can be no objection to a remedying of the defect by the persons who signed the petition and by whom the error was committed That is, these 1 persons may come into the office of the secretary of state, attach the date of which they signed the peti- tions, and write in their addresses.
 So, if 8 of these persons do so it | would seem the petition will go on the ballot.
 It must be said, however, that there are some other probable irregularities that may cause some trouble, espe- | cially if those interested in the out come care to press the point. There are some close points of law in- yolyed in the question as to the suffi- ciency of these petitions and that a suit will eventually result is more than a probability

Roosevelt Republicans of Arizona have taken a step winch forever re- moves them from the old standpat organization in Arizona.
 They cut all ties that heretofore bound them and have set sail on the political sea in their own craft
 They decided that they wanted nothing to do with the men in this state who helped steal the nomination for Taft in Chicago.
 They know that comparatively few republicans in Arizona or in the coun- try sanctioned the robbery of the nom ination by the national committee and by the packed convention. .tThey { rsalize. that the fight this year wlh be i,dtaseen Wilson and Roosevelt and they do not want the support of the men who engineered the steal in Chicago.

 Woodrow Wilson, when he takes the oath of office as president of the United States, March 4, 1913, will en- ter this highest of all public offices under more suspicious circumstances than any predecessor in three gener- ations.
 He will enter office under obliga- 1ons to no boss and to no machine.
 That there are bosses in the demo- cratic party, and that their purposes are no better than those of the repub- iican bosses, was made clearly evident at Baltimore
 That these bosses had absolutely nothing to do with Wilson's nomina- ton was made evident as clearly.
 They were against him. to a man
 It was their determined opposi- ton which delayed his victory and prolonged the bitter fight so long. It was stern necessity which forced them into line. and if they exhibited any cheerfulness about it is was a hol- low affectation. Wilson's nomination was assured before the first of them turned. and they turned only because it would have been accomplished with out them
 Owing nothing to any boss, he owes nothing to any special interest
 He does not even owe a dollar of campaign money. Money in abundance was offered by those who are always willing to invest lavishly in political campaigns if they can be assured that they will get proper returns on their investment The assurance was refused and the money rejected.
 When Woodrow Wilson becomes president of the United States next March, he will have absolutely noth- ing to do but to be president He will owe absolutely no duty or obliga- tion to any one but the plain people who forced his nomination and will bring about his nomination.
 Owing nothing to any boss or to any special interest, he will be free to serve those to whom he owes all the people. And no man, however good and strong, is free who owes either his nomination or election to self-seeking interests.
 The people have chance to choose as their president a patriot. a demo crat believer in popular rule, a man who has an abiding faith in the sound judgment of the people, man who believes that the world and ihe full, ness. thereof were created for the people. man who has the personal ity and the mental and physical wig or needed to put into practice his mo- ble aims for the common welfare.
 And he comes to them FREE. ow- ing no obligation 10 any political boss or political machine, owing all to the people whom t is his highest ambi- ton to serve. and to serve whom both study and experience have quail fled him pre-eminently.

state the federal office holding bunch
 to stay out of their party.
 They think their party win be in. jured by having such men in it. They have reached a conclusion shared by four-ffths of the republicans in the state and in the nation.
 The new members in Arizona look at it this way and so have expressed themselves.
 Penrose has been thrown out by the republicans of Pennsylvania. He can no longer order affairs in that state. He is now a has-been because he helped perpetrate the fraud at Chicago. The republicans of his state have repudiated him. Why should the republicans of Arizona go in with the old gang in this state and thus endorse a fraudulent political deal?
 No longer can Crane dictate to the people of Massachusetts. The badge of boss has been taken from him. He is out of public life and will not run for office again. He put himself out when he gave his aid in securing the fraudulent nomination for Taft which he did in a spirit of private revenge The republicans of Massachusetts will no longer stand for Crane, why, asked the Roosevelt republicans at the santa Rita, should we stand for the same sort of men in Arizona?
 The members ot the national com mittee who, at Chicago. took away enough votes to prevent the nornina- tion of Theodore Roosevelt and stood ready to take away more if needed, could not individually or collectively carry the popular vote of any repub- lican state in the Union. Barnes could not be elected dog catcher in New York. Rosewater, New, Mulvane or any Of the members of the national committee helping in the steal could not carry their own states for any of fee. It is because these men slapped the republican voters in the face by their dirty work in Chicago.
 These men and their co-laborers are a stench in the nostrils of the people. Why should we in Arizona join with them by capturing the party in this state and thus. apparently, be working with them7
 They didn't sing that one time fay- orite tune of the populist, Good Bye. old Party, Good Bye but every man felt like singing it.
 The action cut the old party in Ari- ! zona in pieces and the Roosevelt men have the largest piece.

alty of the forfeiture of the land and the use thereof. Under the terms of the communication it can be seen that subletting or assigning the land is permitted upon the consent having first been obtained from the state land commission.
 July 17, 1912.
 County Board of Supervisors-Gen tlemen: Referring to the matter of permit for the occupancy of school lands heretofore held under lease from the territory, l beg to call your attention to the following clause which appears in the blank applica- ton prepared by the state land com mission:
 Tn consideration of the granting of the permit applied for I agreed to not sub-let or assign the same, and any such sub-let or assignment will work a revocation or cancellation of the permit, and a reIinquishment of my right to occupy the said land"
 You are advised that you you may amend this clause by inserting after the words sub-Iet or assign the same" the following: Without the written consent of the state land com mission" so that the clause would read: T agree to not sub-let or as- sign the same without the written consent of the state land commis- sion"
 In explanation, I beg to say that if is not the purpose or desire of the state land commission to work any hardship or impose any handicap dpon the lessees of school land, but in the carrying out of the provisions of the law 1t is necessary that we should have aecurate.data concerning the -oc; cnpsaey of the lands heretofore hesd under lease. For this reason, we must insist, when a transfer of a per- init is desired, that written applica- ton therefore be made to the eommis- sion.
 The blank form of permit which is being used by the commission con tains the amended clause abode de- seribed.
