 The democrats in the house and the senate will caucus separately and de- eide upon the presiding officers of the two houses, and the apportionment of clerkships, after which a joint confer ence of the democrats of both bodies will be held.
 The joint conference will be one of considerable interest and import moe. There is tremendous amount of work facing the legislators, and as the democrats are greatly in the ma iority in both houses, it is very ob-
 fously up to them to devise ways and means to accomplish the labors The natter of perfecting a system for han Hing bill that must be passed before he Constitution becomes entirely ef. 'ective, will be of great importance and will be the subject of consider able discussion
 Already it is being stated in vari- Ous places that the regular session If sixty days will be insufficient, md that it will be necessary for Gov ernor Hunt to call an extraordinary TessiOn -a convene immediately after the adjournment of the regular ses- sion
 Although there is a possibility that this step will be necessary before the great amount of work can be com- pleted, it is one that the democrats are not desirous of taking as it will mean an extra expense, and for once Arizona is to have an administration with economy as the watchword.

COMMISSION APPEALED
 ID BY PHOENIX PAPERS
WESTERN UNION AND ASSOCIAT- ED PRESS ARE MADE THE DE- PENDANTS.

Phoenix, Mar. 13.-With the West ern Union Telegraph company and the the Associated Press as co-defendants the first case filed with the recently created Arizona Corporation Commis- sion was presented jointly this morn ing by the Arizona Democrat and the Arizona Gazette.
 For the year past the Democrat and Gazette have been receiving similar telegraphic report furnished by the Associated Press through the Denver office of the Western Union. Within the past three days the two papers have been notified by the As sociated Press that on March 15 the rate for this service would be in creased over 1 per cent or the service discontinued.
 According to advices received by the two papers from Melville E.. Stone, general manager of the Associ- ated Press in New York, this raise was necessary to meet a demand for increased tolls by the Western Union company.
 Under the law covering the rela- tions between common carriers and the interstate commerce commission it is provided that a proposed in crease in rates by any railroad, tele- phone or telegraph company must be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and that the commission must approve the proposed raise in rates before the increase can become effective.
 According to the contention of the Democrat and the Gazette, such per mission has never been secured either by the Western Union or the Associat- ed Press, and that consequently the action of the party of the co-defend ants is in violation of the federal statutes.
 The matter was taken up with the Corporation Commission this morn ing by the Democrat and the Gazette and the two papers were promised hat immediate action would be talk en.
 In the event that the Associated Press and the Western Union decline to recede from the stand they have taken, the Corporation Commission will appeal to Federal Judge Morrow for an injunction restraining the com pany from taking the contemplated action.

STUBBS WANTS TIE
 PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
The following telegam was given out at the Roosevelt headquarters on Wednesday evening:

out at the Roosevelt headquarters on Wednesday evening:
 Chicago, Mar. 6, 1912 Hon. Jos. M. Dixon,
 Care Roosevelt Headquarters,
 Washington, D. c.
 Your telegram in regard to a nation wide presidential preference primary received. MT. McKinley's evasive answer to your proposition is typical of the Taft campaign thoughout the country. In Illinois, where the coun- ty judge in charge, at the request of Roosevelt men, entered an order pro- yidirg for a presidential preference primary the Taft managers attacked that action as unauthorized and stated that they would not agree to abide hv the results and injunction proceedings are threatened In MassachusaC :, where the legislature now has the en actment of a primary law under cou- sideration, the Taft managers headed by Senator Crane, are making violent fight against its enactment. In view C. this situation some of the lea1inG Roosevelt supporters are talking ?t circulating eIant petition to Presi- dent Taft asking him to call off his henchmen in Massachusetts and let the law be enacted so the people will have d yO.ce in the nomination of 6 candidate fur p"cSident. In Michigan a special session of the legislature has been called to enact a presidential preference primary law and desper- ate battle is being waged by Mr. Taft's managers against it. In New Hampshire, Senator Gallinger has failed to answer Governor Bass, prop osition to have the state committee sanction a preference primary for the choice of the presidential candidates. The uniform conduct of Mr. Taft's managers throughout the United States in opposition to the peoples having any opportunity to give ex- pression to their choice for the nomi- nation for president, means one of two things; either MT. Taft does not wish to submit his candidacy to the people by a direct vote, or he has turned over his campaign to profes- sional politicians who are not in sym pathy with popular government and are opposed to giving the people di- rect vote.
 The people know that Congressman Mckinley and Senators Lorimer, Gal finger, Crane, Stephenson, Dupont, Dick and other reactionary politicians are opposed to direct primary. The burning question in the popular mind today is, where does President Taft stand? Will he trust his chances for renOmination to the American cit izen or does he thing a president ought to be nominated through the of federal patronage and political machinery for which his man. agers are noted. MT. Roosevelt has declared himself in favor of the pres Ilential preference primary Will NJ" Talt block the way?
