4 Washington dispatch ssys:-
 There hss been much comment in the senate chamber today over she ststenent of expense of election Hled hy the two nes sen tors from Arisoos, who are CT pected to take their seats in that legislative body souetihe in February. This comment is not sur. prisipg ss it has been understood for years thA' the securing of an election ae United Statss ser stor has been 8 very costly matter to many of the sen- ators. Under the old system of cleo. sion by legislatures. which yet pre-. vsiis in most of the sts:es, men have been known to put up more money for an election than their sslsrJ ioi six years would amount to and many times over.

Convention Intended
 Terms for 1 Year Only

Hon A F Parsons of Douglas. one oi the most active members and progressive leaders of ATi-ops's noted c nstitutionsl convention vas 10 Tcm's'one today in sttendsoce cn court. When asked with reference to the mookd question of one or three year tenure Of office of Arizons's first | state officers, he stated to a PRrsPEC. TOR reporter that the intention Of the | constitutional convention was to have all terms expire on January 1913, and so specifically stated in the sections relating to the legislative. executive and judicisl departments, in each of which the language ststes positively shall expire op the first Monday iu January 1913.
 In the opinion Of NIT Parsons, th' section under Suffrage and Eco tiops," which provides for genera electioo on the frst even numbered year after the year m winch AriZont is admitted must be viewed in th light of the specific sections that gov e.n elections and in which the expir ing dates are positively stated as Jan
 usry 1913.
 The basis Tor three year tenure | purely A technical argument accord
 ing to Mir Psrsons, and to considt
 same one must ignore the governin } and iundameptsl principle of specif tenure as fixed by the constitution therefore, in his opinion, the sr state officers serve only to Jsnusr
 1913, making another election nece
 ssry in November of this year.
