No Revolt for Us

Is not the Prescott Journal Miner guilty of sedition? Is the incitation of newspapers to revolt sediton? The Journal Miner is melting such do not like the law either as it stands We not especially opposed publicity. The Republican has nothing conceal to it's circulation the motives and influences behind this paper If had something to hide we might doubt the right of the government drag it out until it should assert the same right as to the affairs of individuals.
 Congress in passing the law exercised it's power to withhold or grant privileges and that power not be denied The admission of newspapers to the a privilege to those who comply with certain quirements. The publicity law only imposed addi- tiona requirements.
 Congress in enacting the law within its powers so that make complaint on that score But the law is weak in that it does not make sure of the publicity facts. That is. it provides no means for ascertaning whether the published statements of newspapers are true. It fixes pun shment for Justification of statements, but offers false.
 The honest publisher is therefore, placed at d disadvantage. The dishonest publishers statement. for instance, regarding his circulation is likely be false than true, because he is dishonest If the government-is attempting regulate the news papers (though it discaims that that is really what it is doing) ii should either regulate them or let them alone.
 our government regulates national banks rail-

roads and other semi-publc and interstate enter prises, and provides examiners and inspectors that the regulation is effective If the jaws rela- ing to national banks railroads, foods and drugs merely prescribed that things should be done and certain other things should not be done and then dismissed the bankers railroad owners and manufacturers of foods and drugs with instructions to report from time tme the laws would be ef- fective only the honest men engaged in these enterprises.
 There was popular spontaneous demand a newspaper publicity law. It wanted only by public men who believed that they had been un- justly and harshy treated by certain newspapers. MT. Bryan the first, believe to suggest a publicity law which must be regarded as a measure of annoyance and revenge than of reform or utility The newspapers have treated MT Bryan less uniindly since the publicity law has been in effect.
 But are opposing publicity We must decline join the Journal Miners revolt, but might join movement to make the law more effec tive and make the published statements of all newspapers honest statements

The Powers of the Commission

The Republican has frequently pointed out the need of special qualification for the office of city commissioner; that a who might be fairly good city councilman might be entirely mad equate city commissioner Under the old system which the had long since outgrown, a man of honesty and common could fairly well dis charge his duties councilman. His powers were prescribed and restricted by the old charter There was comparatively little that he could do in the way of legislation and regulation. At the time when the charter was drawn Phoenix was a very small place, and those who prepared the charter made it to fit the town closely leaving no for growth. The idea of the charter-framers seems to have been to leave the council little to do possible. In thirty-five years the charter had been amended in no important particular.
 But the new charter invests the commission with almost unrestricted powers of legislation and indirectly of administration for though the latter is ultimately vested in the city manager with almost autocratic powers, the commission is the responsi- ble and directing body.
 Thus we have need of the commission of not only strict honesty, but men who have had successful experience in the handling of large affairs and of directing men, They must also be of frmness of character and of freedom from alli- ance or influence which would affect their judg action.
 Among the questions which will up will those relating the public service corporations the railways the street railways and others where the rights and welfare of the people to be guarded There will be paving contracts and large undertakings which will require handling by men of strices integrity. thorough business training and the soundest common
 The breadth of the legislative powers Of the commission is enormous. It extends, according to charter all rightful subjects of legislation forbidden by the constitution of the United States and the constitution and laws of the state of Arizona the provisions of this charter. The charter itself proposes hardly any prohibition The powers of the commission may be curbed only by the exercise of the referendum It is important, therefore, that this vast power be lodged in the hands of men who will it wisely and justly. for if it should be placed in the hands of the weak the
