would be sufficient to cause the righteous use of the recall. Says the Iiecord:
 "An eastern financial paper has drawn attention to the fact that the final determining factor in the growth of cities-and it applies to states with equal force-is taxation, which history has shown us tends to run to very high and burdensome limits.
 Tn Arizona the question of taxa iion is of vital importance and at the present time is a subject of earnest discussion. In most counties taxable property has shown large increases in recent years, which would seem to have justified a corresponding reduc. ton in the levy. yet in many of them the tax rate has not been lesssened, while in some it has actually been in creased. This is partially accounted for by the raising to a higher class county that has grown in taxable wealth, automatically increasing the salaries of public officers and the nun Der of deputies. employed; but even so, the added cost of the county busi- ness is in many cases excessive. Mu- uicipal government in Arizona is equal ly expensive-more so, in fact, con sidering that fewer officials are re Quired to administer the business of our small cities. limited as they are in area.
 Turning to state affairs we find the situation far worse. ard with no relief ;n sight. We have a constitution em- bodyfng all the new-fangled ideas of progressive government, the envy Of all free an denlighteded people, incluo. ing China. The legislature has created multiplicity of offices and commis sions, the object of which, seemingly, is to harass the corporations. regu late every kind of business from a baker shop to a railroad. and to drive capital from the state The fcur ses- sions of the first state legislature will lave cost the people close to S1I5,O0o and the appropriations yet to be made. at the lowest estimate win total s1.750,OOO. 4 bin has passed both houses providing for a bond issue of sIe.OOo.Oo0 for roads. which, fortunate Iy. must be submitted to a vote oi he people.

 "The bill Is designed to make effec- tive state Legislation prohibiting the manufacture by convict contract labor of articles of commerce and the marketing thereof.
 Convict labor is in many of the states employed in the manufacture of various goods for sale in the open market. Generally this convict labor is let out to contractors at prices grossly below the value of the labor given. The commercial attractive hess of the business Is naturally very great.
 Chief Of the many evils connected with this contract system is it's iaflu ence in increasing the prison popula ton. Unprineipaled magistrates are often encouraged to withhold iron prisoners in court the benefit of doubt and the police authorities tt make as many arrests as poss!bi, that there may be more conyict' from whom the contractor shal. profit. A regular profit in convic- tions has been conducted in more than one community.
 Another evil is the imposition Of heavy tasks upon and punishment Of the unfortunate criminal if he fails to perform i; Besides breaking him physically it makes of him an out law, who turns against society when he is finally released because the hand of society has been harshly i against him.
 "Conyiot-made goods thus produe- ed are seldom sanitary, and the con victs frequently suffer from commun. icable diseases. the germs of which may be carried everywhere.

There are plenty of such records available, and many mere passages oI scripture to show that He that sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed" if only the truth is wanted.
 It is well for US to look forward to the time when the world shall rise to the sublime height of the fulfillment of Christ's teaching of loving our neighbor as ourselves. to pray and work earnestly for that days dawning; but it is also quite as Important that we do not forget that we are yet on earth and have to deal with things as they are today; not let the idea of Arizona's progressiveness force us to progress backward by turning back ward the hands of the dial of time.
 If our public officials should all use their best efforts toward the enforce ment of the lava they were elected to execute. instead of making of new laws and forcing their own ideas upon the people, overriding the laws they swore to enforce, we would have a

The bill introduced m the state senate by Senator Hughes of Pima county, providing for municipal owned and conducted slaughter houses. passed the house this week. There was some determined opposition to this measure and finally it was amended go that it became law with the pro vision that it could only be invoked by a vote of the people. In this form practically all opposition was with drawn. We believe that slaughter houses should be strictly regulated and compelled to preserve sanitary eondi- tions. but we very much doubt if it would be best for our municipal gov ernments to embark ih the slaughter ing business.

THE PENAL CODE AND THE GOVERNOR.


 The lower house of the lesislature has again passed the penal code in the exact form in which it was passed dur ing the previous session; it is likely that the senate will approve the measure. This measure has been once vetoed by Governor Hunt on the stated ground that 1t took away from the executive some of the powers here tofore held in granting pardons. The action of the present governor in set ting up his personal opinion above the plain written law providing the death penalty. to our mind, Is full warrant for the provisions in the penal code to which objection was taken. The ac tion of the legislature in this matter has met with no pronounced cpposr ton in Arizona, except from the gov. ernor and some of his socialist and Western Federation allies. That the great majority of the people approve the action of their representatives in this matter is shown by their refusal to sign the initiative petition invoking a vote on e constitutional amendment to abolish capital punishment in tho state.
 Should Governor Hunt again veto the penal code, should it reach him in the form which it has again passed the house the act will again invite critt cism based on his stubborn disposition 10 override both the law and the will o. the people. Such a vote will result in further prolonging the session of the legislature which is costing the taxpayers so heavily. The Tucson Star which has stood by the governor with 8 friendly pen during many of the warm controversies over the admin tsstration in the last session of the legislature, has this to say regarding his probable action on the penal code
 Tt appears new that the code will be passed by the legislature just as il was at the last extra session and thar the governor will veto the measure aSain.It would help things materially if the governor would sign the code as it passed. He thinks he is right in taking the stand against the measure which limits the paroling and pardon. ing power of the chief executive, buG that doesn't alter the fact that if the measure is vetoed agsin it will cost the state a lot of money. for the entire code will have to be gone over again. If the governor has faith in his belief and has faith in the people he nigh. let it go to them for decision. The state has had about all of the time wasted by the legislature it cares to pay for and veto Of the measure means still greater waste of time. We hope the governor will reconsider his decision to veto the bill "

r Eht to exrect better results. We may call criminals unfortunate, we all know that environment plays an important part in shaping our lives. but the truth still holds that We are the architects Of our own lives.
 In my oDinion the first work of the next legislature should be to do away with parole and pardoning power; let 10 man have the power to thwart the power of judge and jury, and through them the people, as did the governor of Arkansas a few days ago liberaIe nearly four hundred criminals upon the people in one day. As soon as such law was passed the veto power of the governor should be curtailed or entirely done away with; it is too much one man power Now that the slogan has gone forth, let the people rule, why give one man power to keep the people from ruling? This one man power is not in keeping with the spirit of the age. You say what should be done in case new evidence is found? Let the case be retried be fore court and twelve men.-From Dr. H. A. Hughes address before the County Medica! Society at Phoenix.

GAN HE AFFORD 1T.

The Graham Guardian. tbe weekly newspaper in Graham county which has been a stalwart in .rgport of democracy and progressive democra- ey, speaks plain about the actions Of Governor Hunt regarding his efforts to force his personal views regarding capital punishment on the people of this state. The Guardian is edited by John J Birdno. who wss chosen to direct the first campaign in Ari- zona, because of his prominence as a progressive leader Mir Birdno shows that he is alarmed at the way any further democratic success in this state is endangered by the stub hornness of Gov. Hunt in trying to make every democrat in the state bow to his individual views and those of the pampered and pap-suck. ing pets gathered on his staff. Says he Guardian:
 "on account of his bull-headed ob- stancy in trying to force the legis- lature to pass some of his fool pris- on reform measures and to compel tLem to increase bis powers as gov ernor of the state. Gov. Hunt has ac- eomplished something that no other governor has succeeded in doing ez- cept Oaks Murphy, who succeeded in getting himself severely criticised and his methods denounced in both branches of the legislature in one day by both democrats and repub. licans.
 When Governor Hunt vetoed the penal code he showed clearly that he would rather have no laws at all for the punishment of crime rather than to have his power in refer ence to clemency to criminals re- stricted When his powers were re- stricted by the legislature that body was simply carrying out the wishes Of three-fourths of the people of this state. which Governor Hunt must be well aware of.
 No Governor can set up his judg- urent against the combined judgment of the legislature and the people of ;he state and succeed. and as proof of this the lower house on Saturday passed the penal code over the gov ernor's veto. just as it was originally passed.
 Governor Hunt promised to give US a business administration and he Is doing it with a vengeance. He seems to have made it his special business Of antagonize every member of his party except a small handful of his special pets. If he does not heed the demands of the people more closely Coy. Hunt will ruin himself politically and wreck his party as well. which swept him into office with such a magnificent victory. Can any man afford to endanger Us party by flying in the face of the will Of the people in order to carry out his own pet schemes as to the existence of soci- ety.'
