DOINCS OF SECOND
STATE LEGISLATURE

The present legislative mem
bers are surely following out
Gov. Hunts economy system, !"
not only in the way of money
expenditures, but in introducing
bills. They probably desire to
'look before they leap" which
is good plan. Anyway, there
is one redeeming quality about
them they are not rushing to
see which one can get the most
bills before the body.
If the contention raised by 7.
T. Powers (Maricopa) in the
house Monday is correct a large
percentage of the laws passed
since Arizona became a state are
null, void and of no effect.
Powers claims that the stand
ard emergency clause which is
attached to most of the bills
removing them from the realm
of referendum attack and hasten
ing the operation is not constitu-
tionally sufficient. He said on
the floor of the house that accord
ing to his Interpretation, each
bill must carry a paragraph spe-
cifically pointing out the particu-
lar emergency which exists.
One of the most interesting and
important bills now in legislative
committee is the one introduced
by Senator Stapley (Maricopa) to
which provides for the abolish
ment of the Board of Control and
the establishment in it's stead of
a Board of Public Welfare with
powers of supervision and inspec-
tion of public bodies; to carry on
investigation; to provide for the
revision of business and account
.rg procedure of the state and tc
provide for the adoption of bust
ness methods as a means of pro-
ducing greater efficiency in the
administration of the affairs OF
state.
Senate Bill No. 81 introduced
by Senator Crabb (Navajo) is the
first to come from the lone Re.
publican member. 1t provides fol
the cooperation of the state in
agricultural extension work anc
authorizes the acceptance of gov
erment aid under an act of con.
gress passed in 1892. Boards Of
supervisors are empowered tC
appropriate not more than $250(
in any one year for agricultural
extension and farm advisory
work.
An amendment to the state
constitution proposed by the leg
islature is a bill in the senate
providing that initiative and ref
erendum measures hereafter re.
ferred to the people to become
adopted must be approved by
majority of the total vote cast al
the said election in face of 8
majority Of the qualified electors
voting thereon. If approved by
the legislature the amendment
will appear on the general elec
ton ballot in 1916.
The senate passed the bill re
pealing the Mothers Pension
law and substituting a n e "
method for the care of the state
INDECENT and needy. The vote
was unanimous but the measure
will not have SO easy a course
in the house.
In the house a bill has beer
introduced to permit Indiar
agents and superintendents o.
Indian schools to issue marriag'
licenses and perform the eere
mony. Also a bill prohibiting
holding the teachers institute
during the school term.

River at the same time, with quite an
interest in the suggestion to also con-
struct q bridge over Coal run from
First street to Locust avenue.
AS suggested by Mr.. Showalter, the
hrst requirement is to determine b
kind of bridges that should be con-
stEucted, and to ascertain their cost,
This being done, the nex step would
be to consult With the Traction COM
pany, the Buckhannon and Northern
and the B. & O. railroads, the county
court and the property wne direct
ly benefited and e how much each
is willing TO contribute toward the
cost
Having done this, it would then be
possible to calculate how much of the
expense would have to be paid by
the city. This is the matter OF vital
interest to the taxpayers. The peo-
pie want to know how much they
win be expected TO pay towards the
cost Of the proposed bridges; and
while the amount will in any event De
large the people can be counted o
10 do their part il the railroads and
others to be directly benefited will
be fair and do their part.

WHO'S WHO IN THE WAR.
Colonel Dundas.

Col. Richard G. Dundas, the COM
mander of the Royal Scots, the Oldest
regiment in the British army, comes
OF a Scottish family, which has pro-
duced many great soldiers, statesmen,
churchmen and men eminent in other
walks Of life. Colonel Dundas and
his Royal Scots have been fighting at
the front in France since the be.
ginning of the war. In the zone OF
conflict the famous old military
organization Is known as the Eleventh
Battalion, Inc it was the first batta-
lion raised in the new army of Lord
Kitchener. The Royal Scots is the
first regiment of British foot, and, in
all probability, it deserves TO rank as
the Oldest regiment now in existence.
AS a regiment in the modern applica-
ton of the term it was organized in
1888 by Sir John Hepburn. an an
prominent New York banker. In that
year Sir John, who had previously
commanded a Scottish brigade under
Gustavus Adolphus. was given per-
mission by Charles I. to organize q
regiment of Scotchmen to serve un-
der the banner OF Louis XIII. OF
France. With John Hepburn's regi-
ment was incorporated the Scottish
Archer Guard, which had served
French monarchs since the ninth
century. The Archer Guard was
given precedence on the right of the
line of the entire French army, and
this precedence was confirmed to the
Royal Scots. Hepburn's men were
used in the French conquest Of Alsace.
then in the possession OF the old
German empire, and in Lorraine and
the Palatinate. In 1861 Charles II.
recalled the Royal Scots from France.
but it soon returned. and did not
become q permanent part of the Brit
ish army until 1878. AS q British or
g~anization; the Royal Scots did much
fighting in France and Flanders, and
later with Wolfe in Canada, with We'll
lington at Waterloo, In Canada in
1913, and in the Boer war.

General Grant at the little village OF
Appomattox Court House, Va. When
the brilliant and able military chief
tain OF the Confederate forces ten
dered his sword to the leader of the
armies OF the north on that April
day so years ago, the greatest war
of modern times, save that now rag

In that bloody and terrible struggle
between brothers OF the same blood,
Grant had proved himself one of the
most brilliant soldiers of all time,
but the military genius of the victor
was scarcely superior to that of the
vanquished Lee. Grant proved his
magnanimity, as well as his soldierly
qualities or that historic day. He
handed back Lees proffered sword.
and told the Confederate soldiers to
keep their horses, as they would need
the animals in making a crop. Lees
first thought was for food for his
ragged and half-starved soldiers, and
General Grants first order to his
orderly was that the hungry Com
federates be fed. The strictly milf
