BOTH HOUSES ARE NOW
 EMBOSSED WITH CODE
House Reads Penal Code Throuqh Three Sessions. Senate Works
 at Civil

Three sessions yesterday in the house did not suffice to complete the reading of house bill AS. the new penal code. It is not expected that the work can be completed until Monday and passage of the bill will be delayed until that time. Reading Clerk Hardy has been grinding away on his task now for two days and has not completed it yet This na- turally makes the sessions of the house very tiresome and mOnOtOnOus not only to the members themselves but to the spectators as well. How ever it cannot be helped The work
 has to be done and that is all there
 is to it. When it is completed the
 same sort of task cOnfronts the house
 in connection with the deliberations
 on the civil code
 The senate is working over the
 civil code in the senate committee
 of the whole spending three nights
 per week in the deliberations on it.
 Last night the upper house devoted two hours to that section which deals with the probate matters, probating wills. appointments of executors and administrators of estate and such sort of work. To a lawyer the work is hardly interesting as he prefers 10 deal with the completed statute TO the layman the work is not so interesting as it is largely foreign to the daily walk of life to which he is accustomed However the same may be said of the senate WorK as was said of the house, the task though devoid of excitement has tO be com pieted. and the sooner done the bet ter
 It is the general opinion of those who have looked over the proposed new code however that it will be- both criminal and civil a splendid body of laws when completed, one that will equal any state in the. en- tire union.

WOMEN WORKERS IN JAPAN

Japan's inner life contains quite as many problems as taht of any other country one of the most serious is the relation of capital and labor, and herein woman takes an impor- tant part.
 In no other country in the world does a larger percentage of women participate in wage earning. In the United states. for every eighty-isN male wage earners there are four teen female. In Great Britain it is seventy five to twenty-five, in Ger many eighty-to twenty. in Italy sev- cnty-eight to tWcnty-tWo, while in Japan there are nearly twice as many women as men on the pay rolls of the country.
 It is tho testimony or the largest employers that women are the indus trial backbone of the country The employment of women and children IS the secret of the competitive power of the Japanese textile and other light handicraft industries, and it is
Arizona republican., 1913-03-15

for this reason that the possible Op- eration of law enforcing sanitary provisions and even the common de cencies of humanity in factory life is viewed with alarm by the manu facturers in their necessarily strenu Ous competition for foreign trade.
 The trade law limits hours of em- plOyment. fOrbids the use of children under certain ages and the employ ment of women at night and in dang erous occupations. It can be under stood. therefore, whence comes the delay in even promulgamating law which takes effect fifteen years after it's prOmulgation. The moneye1 classes and. the interests necessar- fly control legislative body like tine Japanese Diet many members O.; which are elected by most amaz ing and open system of corruption and vote e-buying-a system which puts to shame in it's effrontery tho worst days of ward politics in any gang ridden city in the United States."-J.

NOT MERE CHANCE IN
 NAME FOR TRADE BOARD
sut an Entire Revision of Policy and Scope Will be Enacted if
 Present Plans Garry

Not as a mere change of name due perhaps to restlessneSs or desire for something new, but as an actual shifting of policies, constitution and scope, will come the proposed sub Sutution of "Chamber of Commerce." for Beard of Trade" as an appela- uon for PhOeniXs main business or 2aniZation. At first the idea was simply to make Chamber of Com nerce the official name in order that It might be uniform with the names of the majority of city business bod les and with the national chamber Of which the board is an affiliated member But with deeper thought on the part of members of the board ot directors and of members of var iOuS other civic and mercantile bodies the idea of consolidation and cen traliZation Crept in, and the half formed plan is now to get the entire commercial, and social activity of the business men of Phoenix center ed in a chamber of commerce which will also include such organizations as civic improvement clubs, tax lea gUeS and the commercial club.

ANOTHER FORM FOR
 HOURS OF LABOR BILL
Still Moro Liberal Measure on Wo-
 mems Working Hours Drafted.

There are still objections to the form of house bill ,, the Brooks bill on hours of labor for women. The latest ones have been sought to be met with the amended bill as given below, in the first section, which is really the meat of .-ie bill.
 It is not expected that this bill. liberal as it is, will meet all the ob- jections that have been raised, neither is it expected that those who have been in favor of radical bill upon the subject will be satisfied with the more liberal wording of this bill It's fate however rests with the house to which it may be reported on Monday.
 House Bill
 An Act relating to the hours of labor
 for women.
 Be it enacted by the legislature of
 the state of Arizona:
 Section l. No female shall be em- plOyed or be permitted to work in any mercantile establishment confec- tionery store, bakery, laundry. hotel, restaurant. telephone. or telegraph of flee or exchange. in this state, more
 
 or more than fifty-siX hours in any one week; provided. that at least one hour for meals be allowed each female during her working period but no part of such hour for meals shall be included as part of the per mitted working period; provided further. that the said eight hour period of work shall be performed within period of twelve hours, pro Vided further. than in any such mer- cantile establishment, confectionery store, or bakery, where females are employed for six days only in any one week, two additional hours mak- ing total working period of ten hOurS) may be added to said per nlittcd period of daily labor on one Of said six working days. but in all cases the permitted period of daily labor must be performed within said period of twelve hours; and provided further, that the provisions of this section shall not apply to females employed in any such telephone or telegraph office or exchange in which not more than three females are em- plOyCd or two female nurses.

ELECTRICITY IN NAVIGATION.

The Montreal Transportation com pany, with offices at Montreal and Kingston. has decided upon a radical change in it's lake, canal and river flcet-the introduction of electrical generating engines into modernly designed hull.
 F For some years a New York firm has advocated electric drive for the Canadian type of freighter, to the de velopment of which it has devoted much time and effort. Accordingly, the fact that contract was placed
 in England for such a boat, with Diesel engine and Mayor electric gear. after plans and specifications ap- proved by this American firm, is d development of great significance, not only to the Canadian trade, but to shipping generally. There will be two high speed, six-cylinder Diesel en- zines, each developing about $50 horsepower at 400 revolutions min ute, with their dynamOs and eXciters while the propeller shaft will be fitted with special squirrel cage induction motor for eighty revolutions q min ute. one engine can be cut out for adjustment without interfering with the other, and with very little loss of speed
 The saving in weight of engine and fuel over steam of the same power ! runs to about 200 tons; fewer men are required in the engine-room crew, and the valuable space occupied by boilers in steam propulsion is avail able for cargo. The advent of this unique vessel on the lakes will be awaited with great interest.=Consul- ar Report.

TALKS ON THRIFT
THE MORAL INFLUENCE OF SAVING

Make all you can; save all you can;
give all YOU can."-John Wesley.

Saving has a beneficial moral effect, but
extravaganza, as 1t usually Is acting lie,

Successfully resisting the temptation to
