sort of stuck in the craw of the Co., conino senator who proceeded to draft q bill to make the gross ignor- ance of the law, less matter of course With less laws there would be less ignorance of them, according to the statements of those who are in favor of the bill.
 According to those who favor the bill the limit of twenty-five bills to the session would effect the work of the legislature so that a great deal more attention would be paid to drafting a law that would hold wa ter, less of them would be declared unconstitutional, hundreds of dollars would be saved in printing bills, and d definite plan for the legislation of the session could be mapped out when the legislature convenes and only laws for which there is an actual public demand would be passed
 It is also asserted that with the repeating proposition unlimited, leg islators would seek to make their record on the number of useless statutes that would be repealed.

WOULD LIMIT LAW
 MAKING PER SESSION
Senator Breen Believes twenty-five Good Laws Are Enough for
 Any One Legislature.

A novel piece of legislation was proposed in the senate yesterday by Senator Fred $. Breen of CocOnino county, the only bill that has been proposed by that gentleman this session. The bill is in the form of an amendment to the constitution of the state and seeks to limit the number of bills that may be passed by any legislature. However it has another provision that attracts the attention of the lawmakers That is that there is no limit placed upon the number of laws on the statute that may be repealed.
 To show how far along on the road of, legislation the Dill for the proposed amendment is. it was num- bered 15S The bill seeks to give a method of relief from the multiplicity of laws. of every kind and character that are Introduced at each legisla- lure, many of which merely litter up the statutes and confuse the public.
 Some talk has been made at the present session of the legislature upon the proposition that ignorance of the law excuses no man. This

gest that this commission has done its full duty regarding the matter of recommending legislation con corning public utilities and corpora : tions in general
 This commission drafted the cor poration commission bill, the blue sky law, the contract compaies law and other measures calculated to relieve AriZona's people from oppression and discriminatory eXactions
 Regarding such laws as are now effective We have q few sugges- tions to make.
 In the first instance, We are dis satisfied wffh section F of article 15 of the constitution of the state of Arizona
 This section does not sufficiently define the word appeal" and in the absence of such definition it must be taken in it's broadest and most general sense. We suggest a con stjtutional amendment providing that appeals from the decisions of this commission be direct to the supreme court of the state of Arizona similar to the procedure in vogue in Okla homa or California.
 Again, though this is not relevent as a response to senate resolution No. 3. we ask that some ready method be provided to enforce the payment of registration fees by cor pOrations and the filing of annual reports. over 10000 corporations have filed articles in this state and of this number approximately 2000 have filed said annual reports and paid registration fees.
 We know of no present method of enfnrcing collection eXcent a suit

event it will be interesting and in- structiVe to observe whether the price per sack is reduced to the con- Sumer.
 That. to our way of thinking, is a big question, and the work of this commission will be aided, assisted and made labor of the utmost en- thusiasm by your invention of some legislative measure provinding that some measure of rate reductions shall accrue to the people.

ploNed by the company working day and night in improving the service and completing consolidation.
 In the central office it has heen necessary to install a vast amount of additional equipment including au- tomatic boards that almost double the former capacity of the automatic plant. A full five position mammal switchboard is likewise being in stalled for the purpose of taking care of ranch, suburban and toll lines. This board was specially constructed in Chicago, according to new specifi- cations, in order that the same might operate in conjunction with the automatic system and is the latest improved pattern of equipment
 In addition to the above and fore going, several heavy gangs are at work in various places within the city and suburban districts erect ing pole lines. and stringing wires and cables. It was found. upon in spectiOn. that many of the leads Were oVerburdened with open wires; these are being replaced with cables. the leads strengthened. many poles. guys and stubs removed from the high ways and streets, and the distribu- tiOn of the~ various leads is being centralized on defined routes, ac- cording to the engineering study made Thorough preparations are be- ing made to take down and remove all of the poles in the paved dis trict by arranging for the cutting in of .i11 1c tn h.. l cables.
 Attention is also called to the fact that extensive alterations have been made in the central exchange build ing on Adams street.
 A cooling system for the entire building, providing for the summer comfort of employees, and rest. rec reation and retiring rooms for em- ployees are being fitted furnished and installed.
 The exchanges will be consolidated on March 29, 1913 at which time the entire exchange will have uni versal service. following which the taking down of old plant will be vigorously pushed.
 Attention is called to special order No. 19 docket No. s. of the com mission. This required standardiza- tion and the removal of vast dis crimination of rates heretofore eX- isting.
 A study on your part of such standardization will discover q rate reduction at Globe, Miami, Florence. Jerome, Wickenburg and other points where arbitrary rates had been charged due to local conditions.
 Local study of the schedules of the Arizona company and the Overland company will show an amazing dis crimination in charges for identical classes of service. free phones. etc
 The records, maps, schedules, plans, etc, anent telephone utilities are ori file in this office and we invite q study thereof
 Replying to query No. 1, We beg to advise that this comes within the jurisdiction of the attorney general of Arizona. and we respectfully de cline to pass upon or suggest any question of law relating to the mat ters and things in said query con tained.

 Another thing, and this is outside the record as far as our response to resolution No. 3 is concerned but is sufficiently important to warrant your profound consideration.

THOUGHT THEY
HAD BURGLARS
Proved to be Migrants Are
Discharged Today

On two occasions early last night
1t looked as though the police were
about to nab one of the sneak thieves
who have been a menace to residents
of late. At Z O'Clock a prowler was
caught in an alleyway between the
homes of Spencer Dayton and Rev.
V. B. Skov at $50 and 262 State
street. 1t turned out TO be an alleged
vagrant and ex-convict, without food
and money, who claimed to be in
search of a cup of coffee. An hour
later a man, declared by the police
TO have been drunk, was found
asleep in the home of William Din
kelacker at 262 Maple street.
County Detective R. A. Peltier
first encountered Adolph Peterson,
forty-two years old who has no home
at the side of Spencer Dayton's
house. A woman had excitedly call
ed the detectives attention that
there was a man in hiding. He drag
ged Peterson out and upon being in
formed that he was begging for a
cup of coffee, took him to Smith and
State streets, bought him a drink
and told him to be on his way. An
instant later Detective Sergeant
Long, who had been detailed from
headquarters, happened along and
placed Peterson under arrest. Rec
order Pickersgill committed the al
legged vagrant to Jail for a term of
ninety days this morning.
Michael Cleary. forty years old, of
South Amboy, who was found sleep
ing in the hallway OF the Dinkelack-
er home, was taken in charge by
Patrolman Dalton at s o'clock last

charged him with a reprimand this
