Ii is more than rumored that a strong element in the senate will op- nose the tax commission bill as it comes from the house amended with the Graham mine taxing bill at tscbed to it, after the bill itself had been so amended as to increase the value of mines for purposes of tax ation by about s15.ooo.OOg. giving them a total taxable value Of not less than s12O.e0oOoO.
 It may be admitted that the pas sage o1 these bills as separate meas ures would have been more orderly but the house perceiyed that 10 De impossible.

THE GOVERNOR AND
 THE CRIMINAL CODE.


 Days and weeks have passed since the announcement was made in Phoe- nix that petitions were in circulation demanding an initiative vote on the question as to whether capital punish ment should be abolished in Arizona or not. After one or two weeks it was reported that petitions containing a few more than two hundred sigma. lures had been received in the ofiee of the secretsry of state. Alter an other two weeks the report was given out that about gve hun dred had Detitioned for the election On the proposed constitutional amend, rnent. Since then nothing more has teen said about the petitions in the Phoenix papers, but we presume that the effort to bring a vote on the pe! measure of Governor Hunt has nos been abandoned. However. it Is evi dent that there has been no rush on the part of the voters of the State to give any endorsement to the will of the executive. t.
 In the meantime the answer to tho anti-capital punishment petitions from the representative Of the people in the legislature was the passage of a law. a provision in the penal code, taking away from the present gover- por aEd future governors the free hand" in the matter of reprieving, pardoning CT puroiing criminals. This law was vetoed by the governor, but c. date there has been no word of criticism of the legislature from the people for this act and none in justih- cation of the governor because of his veto. Now, the penal code is to be presented to the governor again for his signature without the change Of a single word.
 Should the governor again veto this measure then all the time consumed iu the revising of the criminal code and all the time consumed by the legisla. ture in its consideration will be los' and the present session Of the legis, lature prolonged for the further con sideration Of the criminal code. A veto will be the result of the determir- ation of the governor to force his indi- viduaI views regarding capital punishment on the legislature and the people Of Arizona re- sardIess of cost or consequences. II Is hardly likely that Governor Hunt will wdertake to maintain such an atti' fsde.

Any plan that the tax commission would devise would be almost certain to produce expensive litigation long before it would produce any revenue for the state. and the state will be sorely in need of revenue this year and next year, says the Arizona Re. publican.
 It is now the Graham bill in the form of an amendment to the tax commission bill. or nothing. IT i. shall be nothing. the first legislature of the state of Arizona will leave be- hind 1t a record oS incompetence and blundering. The blundering record is already pretty well made up. but much of it may be effaced by the en- actment of a workable law for the taxation of the mines.
 We do not know, and no man eau know, whether the Graham bill pro vides for an adequate assessment Of. the mines. The mine owners them selves could not know. We may sus- pect that the basis of valuation would be too small. But this much we do knov-that the amendment would give the mines a taxable val uation of at least sl2OoO0.0O0 against S45,OOG,OO0 last year, an addition Of s75.0O0,OO0 to the tax roll of the state. This increase is more than half the total valuation of ali kiuia Of property in the state last year, a little more than s140.0O0,OOO. But whether the Graham bill makes pro vision for an adequate assessment or not, it is a beginning along steps in fhe right direction, and # 1t is found that we have not gone far enough it will make it easier to proceed Let US take this stcp.
 Gentlemen of the senate, do not leave this mine taxation muddle in existence any longer. Here is chance to proGtabIy bring order ou, of chaos. and no member can excuse himself for not embracing it.
 Some Of the opponents of the amended bill oiier the very foolish reason for their opposition that it is unconstitutional since the constitu- ton prescribes that mines shall be taxed as all other classes of proper ty. Certainly. they shall bear the same rate Of taxation, but there was no man in the constitutional conven ton crazy enough to suppose that mines could be assessed the same a. ether classes of property. Railroads are not assessed the same as ether classes of property. In fact. there are hardly two classes of property as. sessed in quite the same manner. Every member who votes against the pending bill is an obstructioaist 1T this bill should be defeated we will have very little useful constructive legislation to show for the great CT pense of the last two special sessions of the legislature, though we will have q mass of legislation which was nor rrgensIy needed, if at all. We will Lave some freak legislation for which there was less than no need.

ty, that grant binds all the states. Such a treaty is supreme law, over. riding state constitutions even, we repeat.
 Whether the treaty with Japan di. rectly or by implication grants the previIege of land ownership is a ques- ton upon which honest and intelli- gent men may and do differ. The Supreme Court alone can settle 1t fnally.

THE Use OF TELEPHONES FOB
FIRE ALARM SERVICE. =

In the past ten years, the telephone
has created new conditions, and these
call for new provisions and regula-
tons. 51z.ss
! It must be conceded that il the tele-
phone is to be used for transmitting
fire calls, some accurate method must
be employed. In trying to telephone
an alarm, numerous instances can be
cited (the Karatti fire on November
18th last is a good examplel where IT
was impossible to learn the location OF
the fire on account of the excited con-
dition Of the, person trying to report
it. :
The use of a telephone circuit
makes possible the individual fire
alarm box in every home, store or fac
tory, which in the event OF fire will
be the means Of saving much prop
eFty by securing prompt assistance,
and the Denio' System, as applied to
the telephone circuits fully meets all
the provisions and regulations these
new conditions have created.-adver-
tisement.

ments was apparently not up to his
standard, and he sought to show his
zeal for the protection of the interests
of this great nation. not only by insist
ing that the appropriation of 5000 asked
for the succeeding year should be re-
fused, but by inserting instead in the ap-
bill a clause repeating the
provision in the law calling for such
payments. This action at once -evealed
the Importance of the provision, which
had originally been inserted rather be-
cause of its theoretical appropriateness
than because it was supposed to have so
much practical value.
Judge De Lacy, Of the Juvenile Court,
declared that the loss of the provision
would be disastrous to his work, and al
though the Congressman was shocked at
the thought of providing the prisoners
with board. lodging. lights and even
baths,' at public expense, and allowing
this compensation to the family in addi-
ton, it was explained to him that h..
was not called upon by the citizens of
the District, who pay half the taxes, to
endeavor to take the bread from the
mouths of destitute women and children
in order to save money for the public,
and the necessary appropriation was
granted. This incident cleared the air
and there has been no trouble about 1t
since.
The record of results for the six years
is as follows:

Though the District of Columbia, like

The provision resembling this in its
results, which had worked well for sew
eral years, in spite OF some hindrances
in Toledo. Ohio had been annuled be-
cause of unconstitutionality as special
legislation some time before. 1t was pro-
posed, in introducing the nonsupport
Jaw in the District in 1865, to have the
act include A provision by which the
family should receive 50 cents per day
for each days hard labor performed by
men committed for nonsupport, hard
labor being an invarfable accompaniment
of all sentences. Various difficulties IN
the way of securing and carrying out
this provision were brought forward, but
these all disappeared as the effort for the
law progressed and it was finally enact

One reason for making the men work
IN Rock Creek Park was that the old

government purchased LEA acres of land

the city, and in June prisoners We're sent

property. By July l. 1911, accommoda-

provided. roads had been constructed,
and a filtration plant an ice plant, and

relatively small outlay, because the labor
was almost all performed by prisoners.
A brick-making plant. with a capacity
of 1000 bricks per day, had. been con-
structed. and a stone quarry. with a ca
pacity of several hundred cubic yards of
stone per day. opened up: and after the
completion of the buildings prisoners
were put to work in these to furnish the
brick and stone needed by the District
in the construction of sewers and for
its other work. These buildings are
kept in clean and wholesome condi-
tion. and as white as whitewash can
make them. A large part of the sides
are glass, which can be thrown open
