A Funny Theory of States Rights

Whatever reason the house had for defeating the resolution in favor of national suf- frage amendment was no doubt sufficient for self But the only offered hardly be satisfying the people of Arizona,-that this is a matter which each state should decide for itself We cannot recognize such a theory making amendments the federal constitution Each state may say whether it is in favor of a proposed amendment but it is for the people of two-thirds the to say whether the constitution shall be so amended There are many things that should be uniform throughout the states and of these things is suffrage. So if it is right that suffrage should prevail in it is right that it should prevail in all If the theory the in defeating the resolution were carried to a logical conclusion it would lead the house to the adoption of a resolution for the repeal of amendment which one or more of the states might like.
 We believe the fact is that a majority of the members of the house are secretly opposed man suffrage in any state, in Arizona and that in that dislike they represent the majority democratic sentiment in the state We know there strong democratic opposition to the amendment last summer. It unfavorably sdered by the state committed which feared to op- pose it openlx and gave it only equivocal posi- tion in the party platform We do recall that any of the influential democratic leaders vocated it throughout the campaign
 There has been a gradual change in the lead ership and policies of the democratic party in this state within the last eighteen months. It has been quiet but swift and certain. The progressive ele- lnent has been unostentatiously showed into the background and it's leaders flouted by a majority the party The party is bourbon it was be- fore the awakening which resulted in our state constitution
 In the first session of the legislature there was opposition to suffrage but it pretty well masked for time It began de- velop with the of the reactionary spirit in the party and it became so strong that by last November the equal suffrage amendment would have been defeated but for the powerful and solid support given it by the progressive party, equal suffrage is of the principles progress ivism necessary to the establishment of social jus tce.
 Our democratic friends might have offered a than their solcitude for the rights of which not good at all The rights of half the people state surely as the rights of that organization call a stata r&
 Might not the opposing representatives have better said; We favor the suffrage for intelligent, qualified women for the of Arizona but not. for the of other states about whose intelIi- gence and qualification We do not know?' There would have been neat bit of flattery in a 1egt- mate garb of truth. That would have tended soidify the representatives with their constituents And for what, beyond soldity with his constitu- ency need any politician care?

FRENCH ALMOND CROP

There are about 10000 planted in almond trees in France half of this acreage being found in the Bouches- du- RhOne. The principal the trade is Aiken Provence. There available statistics showing the relative importance of the different varieties of almonds grown in France The domestic crop averages in the neigh borhood of F 900 metric An yields from 150 920 pounds of fruit.
 During the last few years the local production has fallen much below the average, and the Ak dealers have imported quantities of Spanish and Italian almonds to supply the deficiency. No off cial report has yet been. published concerning the 1912 crop. As regards hard-shelled almonds, it is stated good authority that last years product amounted about 50 per cent of the average yield. The outlook at present is favorable, but it is too early a reliable estimate of this years crop, which may still be damaged by spring frosts-Con- Sul General Gauln, MarSeieS..

Electrical EntangIements.

\ very intricate problem is in NuIvrd in tn" suit by the Alaska NiaSLinr"il Mining company against the Alaska -Trcadw"ll Gold Mining company and aS>nri- ate companies.
 The point involved arises over the delivery of power from the Sheep creek power station of de- fcndants, according to contract with plaintitf in the case. The complaint sets forth that the de- fendant company, since Christmas eve, has failed to furnish the giv- en amount of power guaranteed by the contract. OF enough to start the machinery which consumes he power.
 l It is alleged that d cuntrivanre known as an automatic circuit breaker has been introduced by the defendant companies, which does not withstand the momen- tary surge which results at the starting of machinery that con- sumes less than the given amount of power guaranteed under the contract. When the connection is broken, defendants refuse to all low their servants on the premis- es of the power station to renew such connections; compelling the
 information to be sent to the of-
 flee in Trcadwell, whereupon a man would be sent across the channel in a small boat to renew the connection.
 The defendants set up the an swer that they are delivering the current as per contract and that the momentary surge requiring power in excess of the contract should not be required of them that the breaking of the current is caused by overload of the plain ltitf's machinery.
