yAvAPA| BOND
 CASE DECIDED
State Supreme Court Holds People Have Right to Initiate Bond Selection for Improvement and Building Purposes

The supreme court has reversed the judgment of the superior court of Yavapai county in the now fla nous court house bond case and de- Cided the electors of county may initiate an election to incur further indebtedness for improvement pur- poses even if the constitutional linn il of four per cent of the assessed valuation of the county has not been reached The contention was made by the appellees in the supreme court that no election is necessary if the limit has not been reached.
 The contention made by County Attorney O'Sulliyan in the low CT court and in the higher court also where he was assisted by the attorney general, was that if the peo- ple had the right to initiate an cleo ton under the law for further in debtedness over the four per cent limit they also had the right to do so when the debt did not reach that figure.
 This case attracted great deal of attention, for q large amount of good road bonds hinged on the decision of the court. Good roads bonds are regarded under that law in the same light as court house or improvement bonds

 Remember after the Athletics had walloped the New York Gi- ants in the 1911 world series they never got started in 1912 until too late to accomplish any thing and the Boston Red SoX romped away with the pennant?
 Maybe the Athletics will again let the 1912 history repeat itself, and again maybe they won't. But it looks like q cinch at any rate that the Red SoX won't re- peat their great work of 1912.
