VETS FIND NJ COMFORT IN
 DEFEAT OF DRACHMAN BILL

PHOENIX, Feb. 16.-Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner-Drachman S prohibition enforcement bill was de- feated in the house this morning, Is 70 16. Edwards voted for, and Flana- gan against the bill.
 In the opinion of the majority, the 0rohihitory law passed by the people is self-executing and an enforcing law s unnecessary. The decision of the supreme court in the Gherna liquor
 9se adds strength to this view.
 Those who voted for the Drachman pill believed that the bill should have Seen amended, but were not prepared to vote against the bill altogether.
 Representative Sheldon Reed, of Pima county said yesterday that since the court had declared the prohibition amendment to be self-executing, many of the legislators are of the opinion hat it is not necessary to pass an en- forcing law. He also said that the Drachman bill, if it passes, will not receive a greater majority than one md that in the senate it will be killed )r greatly altered. He declares that Drachman is the only legislator from Pima county who will vote for it.
 The opinions of the supreme court Ire interesting at this time:
 In a decision which covers twenty i've typewriter pages, the supreme court of the state upheld the action of the superior court of Pima county in the Gherna case. The supreme court held that the prohibition amend ment did not depend on legislative en- actment and that it was self-eXecuting. The contention that the law is unccG- stitutional because it interferes with interstate commerce was not pertinent to the case, the court stating that Gherna was not convicted of introdu cing liquor into the state, but of sell ing it in prohibition territory.

TEXAS NOT ID DIVIDE
 BILL SERVES PURPOSE

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 16.-Special
 the Yuma Daily Examiner-The bill to make a separate state out of the panhandle section of Texas, al though buried in committee today and
 ated to die by sentiment for the grand old state,'' served it's purpose. This was, as it's author, Senator w. A. Johnson, pointed out in the preamble of his resolution, to force the redis- tricting of Texas in accordance with the last census.
 The charge was specifically made that liquor interests were largely re sponsible for the failure to redistrict and give the Panhandle section fair rep1 esentation in Congress. A "slush fund to control state politics was mentioned, and the inhabitants of the proposed new state of Jefferson wish ed to free of such domination" it was stated.

HENRY PATTERSON, KENTUCKY
 JOURNALIST, |S 75 YEARS OLD

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner
 LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 16.-Col. Henry WatterSon, the famous Louisville editor, reached his 18th birthday an- niversary today. For a man of his years, Col. Watterson still appears to be remarkably hale and vigorous, and in full possession of the powers which years ago stamped him as the foremost journalist of the South, and one of the very foremost of the nation
 Col. Watterson was born in Wash ington, D. C., February 16, 1840. From his father he inherited love for jour- nalism and politics. The older Wat 1erscn was a member of Congress
 iiplomatist and editor of the Wash ington Union, influential and active in the councils Of the Democratic party
 In consequence of defective eyesight, which has always troubled him, young Watterson was sent but little to the public schools, but received much care ful education at home. He early be- came a musical and dramatic critic also a writer of miscellaneous essays and sketches, and a member of the editorial staffs of the States and the Democratic Review both of Wash ington. At the beginning of the Civil War, the first-named of these publi- cations took sides against the Lin

The attorneys for the appellant laid particular stres upon the contention that the new law is confiscatory. In answer to this claim the supreme court holds that the law is no more confiscatory than any other law re- voking a license or permit of the state, and that the act was wholly within the police powers of the state, regardles of whether or not property rights were affected.
 In upholding the self-efecuting feat ure of the amendment, the court saiC:
 Tt may be admitted that the lan- guage used in these sections, if liter lily interpreted is apparently subject to the criticism of contradicting itself
 But the framer and the people who adopted the amendment must have in serted both sections with the clear vision of their separate purpose The object sought was to stop the traffiC in intoxicating beverages. The quail
 jed voters were clothed with the power to accomplish that object They not only announced the principal of prohibition, but entered the domain of legislation defining the offense and prescribing the punishment, and fixed date when it should be enforced and in effect, to-wit, January 1, 1915
 Whether or not the amendment is unconstitutional in that it interefereS with interstate commerce, the opin ion states, is not for the court to de tide in this case. As to the conten- tion that the law is confiscatory, the court holds that license for the sale If liquor is not a contract between authority, federal, state or municipal granting it, and that such license is in effect a mere permit affording pro tecti0n to the holder against legal ad version for acts which without it's sanction would be illegal and pun ishable

PUBLIC OPINION ASKS FEDERAL
 AID FOR GOOD ROADS EVERYWHERE

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner
 WASHINGTON, D. C., That public opinion is over whelmingly in favor of fed eral aid to good roads, is con- cluSively shown in the final report of the Joint Congress Sional committee which Has spent more than two years in studying this general subject. In 1913, Hon. Jonathan
 Bourne, IT,, chairman of the committee, sent to a large number of newspapers, com mercial organizations, farm CTS unions and grangeS a cir cular letter asking them to as- certain the consensus of opin- ion in their communities on th1S question.
 Replies representing 100,- 900 individuals came from ev- cry state in the Union, and since the requests for opin- ions were made without dls- and without any knowledge as to the views held by the persons or organ izations addressed, the re- SponseS show with reasona- able accuracy the attitude of the people throughout the country.
 Ninety-seven per cent Of the replies favored federal aid and three per cent were against it. !

Importance of maintenance
 The report emphasizes the importance of maintenance and says:

"The permanence of an improve ment depends largely upon the char acter of maintenance. The stone or gravel surface as we'll as the founda- tion of a highway needs constant attention, similar to the care given the rails and roadbed of a railroad It is the filling in of the small rut, the repair of the small break, that prevents more serious damage.
 ''In Farnce. road patrolmen are em- ployed to care for certain sections of highway. Their tools consist chief ly of a wheelbarrow and shovel, with which they repair every defect in it's incipiency.
 These men keep the roads in re- pair until the harvest season begins and then are left free to seek more profitable employment among the farmers of the community. A roao kept in repair until that time won't need attention during harvest period. The highway patrolman, therefore, af ford a constant supply of labor upon which the farmers can depend for e part of their harvest help.
 We believe a very similar system of maintenance should be worked out jn this country

The scale Of weights Is similar to

ing it 135 instead of 1873. It seems
that 106 pounds Is rather light for any
