After quoting extensively from the decisions of courts of other states rela- tive to the power of the legislature to limit the pardoning power vested in the governor by the constitution, Justice Cunningham takes up the circumstance cs under which the provisions of the constitution were written, and refers to the proceedings of the constitutional convention. After naming the mem- bers of the committee on styles, re- vision and compilation. of which the late M. G. Cunnff was chairman, he points out the grammatical arrange ment of the provision, and its punctua- ton. The recognized rule of good punctuation of sentence such as sec tion g. says the opinion lis to put a comma between relative clause and it's antecedent, if the clause is non-re- strictive, and in that case only.
 The antecedent here is The governor shall nave power to grant reprieves communication. and pardons, after con- victions .. Now if the clause upon such conditions and restrictions and limitations as may be provided by law is to be non restrictive according to the rule. a comma should be placed after convictions If the clause is a restric- tive relative clause restricting the an tecedent, the governor shall have pow CT etc then according to the rule, no comma should appear. A comma is there and if it was placed there by the style revis. on and compilation commit

In view of the exceptional novelty of the provision in the state constitution and the fact that it is susceptible of two interpre- tations and that the legislature and the electorate have adopted the construc- tion limiting and restricting the par doning power to cases recommended by a board ol pardons created by law, the court says we must con fe5s we entertain most serious doubts of the invalidity of the act, and we think the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed .
 Referring to the charge that the act creating the board of pardons m Il paroles is repuy 'aLt to tpe @,'n- stitution the court quotes from it's decision in the Gherna case, in which it said that it is it's plain duty to uphold an act of the law making power whenever it is possible to do so.

QUARANTINE ID
 BE SUSPENDED
Live Stock Sanitary Board Decides to Ask Governor to Allow Stock to Enter from Three Other States in Southwest

Modification of the Arizona live stock quarantine law so as to exempt Colo rado, New Mexico and Texas, and per init shipments from those states to en- ter Arizona was decided at the meet ing of the live stock sanitary board held yesterday, ard d formal recOmmenda- ton that he issue a proclamation suspending the regulations as they af- feet the states named will be trans mitted to Governor Hunt today. The board also voted to admit shipments of grain from California when same are accompanied by certificate from the state veterinarian.
 Under the terms of the amended quarantine, stock shipments from Tex as. New Mexico and Colorado will be admitted to Arizona as though no quarantine existed, but no cattle or other live stock will be allowed to enter from any other state. or from Mexico. New Mexico and Colorado have already signified their acceptance of the pro posals of the Arizona board, and have been notified of the action taken by that organization yesterday.
 It is expected that Governor Hunt will issue his proclamation amending the quarantine regulations tomorrow, and that the new arrangement will be in force April 15, the date set by the other states for the modification to take effect. On and after that date shipments will probably be allowed t6 pass freely into and across the four states. California Washington, oregon. Nevada, Wyoming and idaho have al- ready entered into an agreement for the movement of live stock. The Ar- yona board will continue in session to- day.

words as have no effect or bearing
 Don the question here involved it would read: The governor shall have power to grant par dOns after conviction upon such conditions and with such re- strictions and limIta ions as may be provided by law
 Tt is contended by the attorney gen. erdl that the "cornitlons. restrictions and limitations" here mentioned bear upon and qualify the power to grant pardons and it is cOntended by ap- pellant that those words bear upon and qualify the pardon itself. The attorney general would paraphrase it thus: The governor shall have power urcn such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as may be provided by law. to grant pardOns." and appellant would have it read: The governor shall have power to grant conditional pardons. that is. pardons containing conditions, re- strictions and limitations upon the conduct of the grantee thereof" Neither contention is unreasonable both are plausible. The legislature evidently took the former view. At it's first session it passed over the governors veto an act that was sub sequently referred to the people and by them approved at the 1914 Novem- Der election. which undertakes to limit and restrict the governors par doning power. We conceive it to he the duty of this court to sustain such 1 law if possible We will not seek ex- !, cuses to declare it invalid, but rather strive to find reasons to sustain it.
 If, after comparison of it's terms

 we should and will resolve that doubt in its favor and sustain it, So much

tee, because of the grammatical rules. . then the clause does not restrict the power of the governor to grant re- prieves communications and pardons ar ter conviction. The clause is a non re strictivc relative clause, without which. the principal clause has the same meaning.
 In closing Judge Cunningham .eX- presses the opinion that the power to grant rerrievcs communications and pardons cannot be taken from the governor except by amending the con stitution. and this has not been done 'I am of the opinion that the beard Of pardons and paroles as q board can- not control. abridge of restrict the power of the governor. granting re- prieves, communications or pardoDs. and that the governor may act in such mai- ters in disregard of the board or any action taken by it.
 Board to Meet this Week
 Whether the reprieve granted the rye men awaiting execution at Florence by Gov. Hunt will be in effect after t,'e thirty day period recommended by the board has expired is one of the aucs- tiOns that will come before that podH when it meets at the prison next Sat urday. If the governor has no power to grant reprieves save on the rccom- mendation of the board. it has been pointed out. his stay of execution untli May 2S would not be sustained in the light of yesterdays decision The gov ernor refused to discuss the decision yesterday. or to make any statement In regard to the situation.

 TT collective bargaining where or- Eanization with whom you are dealing is responsible one-yes."
 Mr,(Wahsh was pressed for an answer to the broader question dealing with all organized labor, the witness replied:
 "Oh. 1t would be hypocritical for me to say that is my view when I refused to see certain representatives of cer- tain alleged unions"
 The witness said in the five years he had been with the company there were mo union tclegraphers he corsidered qualified to represent them His policy with the men, he said was to allow an open door to him for an appeal for all grievances. Te thought he acted fav- orably On about sixty per cent of ap- plications for reinstatement. Tele- Sraphers have been dismissed from the compan" for activity in union affairs, he admitted
 Our opposition to the union is well unF erstood" he said
 He said special agents were employed to keep the company informed, but he denied spot uers' as MT. Konenkamp designat- ed them. were permitted to use ques- tionable tactics in obtaining informa- tion. He had little personal knowl- edge how they work. he said.
 Mir. Walsh mentioned instances where there had been alleged larceny resortcd to by special agents in ob- taining correspondence and names be- longing to the union
 ''I want to have it understood we will fight, have no hesitation in letting be known methods and means by which we will fight but there are some things We wont do. not if know it." answered Mir. Carlton.
 Mir. KoneDkamp estimated the num- ber of commercial tclegraphers cm- ployed by Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies at 10000. His union, he said has agreements with the Canadian Pacific, International News Service and United Press. These. he said. would recognize the principle of collective bargaining in adjustment of grievances. He declared the wages were lower now than they were 40 years ago. This was in reply to a state ment by MT. Carlton that an operator who did as much work now as he did 40 years ago would earn about $200 month.
