MONDAY 80 per Cent Law Attacked and Why

PHOENIX Nov. g -Arzons's initiative measure providing that so per cent of the employes shsll be American citizens in any tu-iness em- ploying more than fvv persons. wac carried at tbe recent election by 3 10 l vote.
 Oppope 1ts ot the measure have an noupced that it would te attacked io the courts on the ground that 1t vio-' lstes treaty rights of foreign citizens.
 The las will particularly effect rail- road construction work. mining and similar lines where much common la bor is employed.
 IL i. said that one Of the main grounds on which the law will ts at tack ia found in the following:
 Since every treaty made by the su- thority oi the Unitei St>tes is super' for to the constitution and lave of sny individual State. where the United State, bss entered into such a treaty with foreign power State law deny ing to alieos right. tn s'ecured C them is void-u00 U. s. 4s3.) It i. also claimed that this law is il direct and brszen conf ct with Sc. of Art l4 oi the United Sts'es Con st;,ution, which ssys: "Nor shal any State deprive any person of lie liberty or property withou, due pro cas. of law: nor deny to any per-oI i within its iuri-dic,ion the eqnsl pro tecsion O! the lave"
 If the law could be enforced-ss canno, be-ho~ wnali tbe women c Arizona relish being deprived of thei Jsp,nese, Chinese. German. Irish ant Mexican household servents?

The ATTACK ON COM
PERS.

Samuel GOmpers has lived a good
many years in Washington. Few
pu bic men are better known OF more
ge nuinely respected. There may he,
ard are, differences of opinion about
the American Federation of Labor,
and Mr.. Gompers' leadership of it.
But these do not involve any refec-
ton on Mr.. Gompers himself. Peo-
PIE who have known MIN longest
Will be slow to place any credit in the
charges that have been made against
him before the miners convention at
Indianapolis. The making Of such
reckless :harges in a public way,
g gsinst such a man as GomperS is
certain to injure the labor cause.
There could hardly be more unfor-
tunate incident than that in the con-
vention yesterday, from the view
point of the men gathered there to
serve the cause of labor.

Monarchial Socialism IN Germany, by FL
ner Roberts, published by Charles Scribner $
Sons. of New York.
The social and economic experiences
of Germany, together with their pschy-
Geological significance, are at the pres
ent time of great interest TO this coun-
try. Profit-yielding enterprises, which
are left to the administration OF indi-
viduals or to companies in other coun-
tries, have been taken over by the as
sociated monarchies which form the
German imperial state. The author of
this book has given a scholarly resume
of such monarchical socialism as is found
in Germany and in more than one in
stance has indorsed a like propaganda
for this country. He is of the opinion
that although conditions in the United
States are now very different from
those in Germany, railways in this
country might cooperate under national
supervision as effectively as do German
railways.
The passing of the unskilled work
man, unemployment insurance. good
will toward trusts. and labor exchanges
in Germany are touched upon. A chap
ter is devoted to the differentiation of

RACING IN MARYLAND

How to regulate and save the
sport of racing in Maryland is Civ
,ng the usual troubles to the legis-
'sture at Annapolis. There is, Of
course, a persistent effort TO abolish
The sport entirely, while at the other
end of the gamut is the element that
would make it just as wide-open as
possible. 1t has even been seriously
proposed that the State become a
partner in the profits of racetrack
gambling, in consideration of super
vising the business and licensing it's
continuance. This suggests a return
to the olden days when States and
even the nation conducted lotteries
in lands and other things to raise
revenues. Retrogression to the moral
standards of that era would hardly
please the people of Maryland.
The situation that the race tracks
now face is exactly what was ex-
pected and confidently predicted.
There seemed to be a public senti-
n1ent that was not seriously dis
satisfied with a reasonable amount
Of racing conducted under proper

A STATE RAILROAD.

Legislation has been introduced in
the Massachusetts, legislature pro-
viding for the States purchase of
the outstanding obligations of the
Boston and Maine holding company.
The holding company has a major
Ity of the stock of the railway COM
pany. By taking over the holding
rompany, therefore, the State would
get actual ownership of the control
IN the railroad.
1t is to be kept in mind that when
he Massachusetts legislature char
tered the holding company a special
reservation was made of the power
loc the State in certain conditions
20 take over the property. That was
he first step toward possible State
ownership.
Now it is proposed by legislation
pending, to submit to the people at
the next State election-that is, the
coming autumn-the question "Shall
the Boston and Maine railroad be
operated under State ownership"
At least it would be nightly in
teresting to see what the people of
4 great State like Massachusetts,
would do if that question were pre-
serted TO them. Probably the legis-
Iature viii not even pass the meas
ure to submit the question; but its
discussion is one of the signs of the
times, which point the conclusion
hat unless there is effective regula-
tion and control in the public inter
est, development of interest in pub
.ic ownership will be rapid.

,, and was supported with much vigor
by intermountain business interests
which insisted that they were pecu-
liarly entitled to representation on
the commission. Perhaps no section
has more pressing set of prob
lens in transportation, constantly
demanding attention, than this same
intermountain region, and there was
vast deal of force in the insistence
upon a member.
Prof. Daniels is 4 personal selec-
ton of President Wilson; he was pro-
fessor Of economics and public
finance at Princeton, and a close as
sociate and supporter of the Wilson
regime there. From that place he
was taken by Mr.. Wilson when gov
ernor of New Jersey, to be men,
Der of the public service commission
of that State. This commission is
endowed with sweeping powers, and
mis- service on it will doubtless have
impressed Mr.. Daniels with the ne
cessity for enlarging the authority
of the Interstate Commission, es-
pecially in the matter Of control over
the financial operations of Interstate
carriers.

THE NEW COMMISSION
ERS.

Appointment of two new members
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is of especial interest at this
time because the appointees will sit
with the commission in the consid-
Grafton and decision of the advance
rate case. President Wilson, with
the appointment of the two new
members. accepts the resignation,
which has been for a long time in
his hands, of Charles A. Prouty, so
that the commission loses, in the
moment of its reorganization, the
second oldest member in point of
service. Mr.. Prouty leaves a place
that will not be filled; he was sui
generis among public servants of the
administrative school; an able law
yer, a fearless and highly conscien-
tious student and analyst of condi-
tions; at times impatient of the
restraints that limitations of the
statute imposed, but one who by rea-
son of that impatience contributed
perhaps more than any other one
man to enforce the betterment Of the
law. 1t was Prouty who first, in
writings, addresses, and personal
communications, bluntly told the
country that the Interstate Commits
sion, as it stood before the law of
1906, would better be abolished if it
could not he given some real pow
ers. II was not abolished, and it
did get the real powers. 1t has been
getting more of them ever since,
and is not yet done accumulating
them.
The two new members are Henry
Clay Hall, of Colorado Springs, and
Prof. Winthrop M. Daniels, Of
Princeton. Mr.. Hall has been sew
eral times mayor Of Colorado
Springs, is a very active Democrat,

auspices. The sentiment may not be
logical. But it existed. That element
which is opposed to racetrack gam
bling in any form appeared to be
willing to close its eyes TO a certain
amount Of the evil in Difference, no
doubt, to the quite widespread inter
est in racing.
But it was another case Of getting
an inch and taking an ell. Race
track promoters showed they would
stop at nothing. Again end again
they were told that they were bring
ing about conditions that were intol-
cradle and that sooner or later would
lead to a demand to stop racing in
Maryland altogether.
The whole trouble is due to the
greed and envy of a political sport
inc element that could not stand to
see a thing like racing going on
unless it had its share Of the spoils.

TWO-BATTLESHIP PRO-
GRAM.

4 good many years will probably
eIspse before the world will get SEN
sible enough to agree on a limitation
q naval or other armaments under
i-ternational pact. Meantime the
powers with naval ambitions, or in
terests dependent on naval protec-
ton, are building ships as fast as
hey can.
Assuredly the United States is
among those that must and that can
keep in step with the procession.
Secretary Daniels tells the House
Naval Committee that the Admin
Jstration is determined that we must
not fall below third in our naval
rank. Better to present a firm re-
solve to recapture the unquestioned
second rank. That one performance
alone would do more than anything
else to convince other nations that
disarmament by agreement was de-
sirable.
The two-battleship program, which
includes eight destroyers and three
submarines, is stated positively to
have the Presidents approval. Ii
viii, therefore, doubtless become law.
The present is bad time to palter
about maintaining the naval force.
