ARIZONA FLAG

A bill providing for the adop.
ton of an Arizona flag was intro
duced in the house by Brooks OF
ella county. The lower hall will
be blue field and the upper hall
thirteen equal rays, alternately
light yellow and red. In the CEN
ter will be super-imposed a cop
per colored, fve-pointed star. The
flag represents copper star, Arl-
iona rising from a blue field in
the face OF the setting sun.
We contend the symbol will not
be perfect without a bossy graz
ing peacefully in that blue field.

Willie's Impression

One afternoon little Willie, who
had been playing out on the lawn,
entered the house and taoughtfully
approached his mother.
Mama" said he, where do
they keep the bear down in our
church,"
The bear, child?" asked Will
lies mother, with wonderful ex.
precision. What bear2 Who
ever told you such ridiculous
thing as that?"
Nobody told me- was the
quiet rejoinder of the perplexed
youngster; but every time | 90
to church, they always sing some
thing about the consecrated cross
eyed bear. "-Philadelphia Tele'

ture of arms, ammunition, etc.,
means that we will have them on
our hands when the war is over.
The sale of their product to de.
stroy the property and take the
lives of people with whom we are
at peace must inevitably cause
resentments that will injuriously
affect our trade and commerce
long after the war is ended"
While the above argument is
good other journals say it is not
geutral for any nation at peace
with all other nations to take upon
itself the enforcement of an en-
barge against what it may deem
morally wrong in favor of one
hostile nation against another, tor
international law, like all other
law, can not be construed upon
the basis of personal feelings or
temporary sentiment.
1t is plainly pointed out that
other nations in our situation have
opened their markets to belliger-
ent trade, one and all alike and
did not suffer serious consequence.
In all probability an embargo on
war material by the United States
would tend to lengthen the wal
rather than stop it. The mobili-
zation of nearly $4,000 900 men
coupled with other gigantic prep
arations is too large pawn to GO
by the board with the closing oil
American trade to belligerent ma.
tons.
After reading accounts of ter.
rifle hand to hand struggles dur.
ing the war, it appears that if de-
prived of arms, those men would
revert again to the old battle axe
and pike and sally forth to the
awful arnage of hand to hand con.
fflict.

Death to Land Commission

The long expected land code
made its appearance in the senate
Monday, being the offer of Senator
Riggs (Cochisel. The measure
which is one OF the important
features of the session, is about
$4,000 words long and embraces
a complete land code, abolishing
the present land commission and
vesting its powers in various Off
GERS, boards and commissions as
they appear from the provisions
of the act.

EMBARGO

The February issue of the Lit
erary Digest leads this number
with press roll on prohibiting
the export of arms, in which they
have the opinions OF the press from
one end of the country to the
other. Of 40 replies, 244 answer
NO" 167 Eyes" and 20 are nom
committal.
1t is interesting to read the
opinion of the country's press as
boiled down by the Digest, as this
question is one of principle rather
than of politics. Although some
are for and against directly and
indirectly there is an undercurrent
in the opinions which suggests
that legislation should be able to
care for the question in a manner
that will be satisfactory to the
majority and lasting for time to
come.
One of the best arguments
against the expectation Of arms,
ammunition and war materials to
belligerents, in our opinion, is
that of the Omaha World Herald
when they say: THE building up
of great factories for the manufac-

Revision of the School Laws

I'VE read in the papers" that a
bill has been introduced in the
lower house, looking to the pro-
visions and re-codiication of the
school laws of the state.
A complete revision can not be
made, piece-meal by somebody
with a fad, asking that certain
sections be changed, another with
an idea that another chapter should
be amended; and after these
changes and amendments are en-
acted, what have we? Nothing
but a mixture of inconsistencies
which will need amendment and
change at the next session.
A commission Of five or more
persons conversant with the
school conditions of the state,
appointed by the governor, re-
CARELESS of any political affiliation,
who would be required to make a
report to the governor on or before
the next session Of the Legislature
would be proper.
This impartial commission would
have nearly two years in which to
study and investigate the various
phases of the subject in the differ.
ent sections of the stats, and have
their findings incorporated into
law.
They could then, after careful
investigation, be prepared to
eliminate useless provisions, cut
the bad and substitute something
better; make plain complicated
and unintelligible sections, that
the average person could read and
understand the subject matter
without the aid of a legal interpre.
ter.
Some of the provisions of the
present law work admirably in
some portions of the state, and to
the disadvantage of other sections.
taking the school census in Feb
ruary is one-all-right in the south
but all wrong in the north.
The one-half million dollar
school fund is another.
This latter provision is like
"robbing Peter to pay Paul."
taking money from one county to
educate the children of another
county.
About one-fourth of this vast
sum is used for the purchase of
text books, paving the salary and
other expenses of the State Su-
perintendent, his assistants and
clerks, education of the def,
dumb and blind, expenses of the
State Boards of Education and
Examiners, ETC., the remaining
three fourths is re.apportioned to
the several counties according to
the school population in each.
This sum is raised from taxation
of the assessable property in each
county of the state.
