Australian Ballot of No Effect in Arizona

A correspondent of The Republican MT. P. L Ed son. a communication yesterday called attention the inconsistency the spirit of the Australian ballot system of the law passed by the present democratic legislature requiring voters to declare their party affiliations when they register That law is not only inconsistent with but it is in direct hos tilty to the spirit Australian system, whose main purpose is to throw secrecy about the ballot. in order that timid voters and most voters tmid may be influenced by possible consequences of their exercise of the right of suffrage.
 Under the old system the voter, if he wanted to conceal his state of mind with respect to parties he the west pocket ticket but that put him under suspicion of members of the party to which he was supposed belong. Otherwise if he wanted to vote a in opposition his party ticket, he took his party ticket from in plain view of the public scratched the names of the party candidates and in those of the opposite party candidates. The Australian system gave him freedom and independ ence of action. That system opposed by ma, chine politicians as tending to break down party lines
 Our amended election law neutrazes that effect by putting all voters record from which it was designed free them
 That was not much the purpose of the law it was to prevent members of a minority party from interference in the primaries of the majority It is rather the irony of fate that the democratic faction most active in securing this amendment. is the one which is urging republicans register demo- aid 1t in the fight against the other faction, even the extent of committing perjury.
 The law should be repealed and believe it will be repealed if succeed in eectng a legisla- ture, majority of whose members can comprehend that election laws designed to promote good gov ernment. rather than the ascendancy of political party.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

It is evident from the action of the market that no one expects a railroad strike. Tl.e matter has been passed up to the president and it is believed that he is able to force arbitration Copper stocks clearly indiI ate he strength of the metal. Rails are marking time as well as Steel. The reason for recent heaviness in zinc stocks is shown by Butte and Su- perior. which shows for quarter end ing June 30 decline in earnings from 1908 to 7.56 per cent. General market acts as if it wanted to ad- vance. General business is at the top in almost all branches. Decline in grain market is an indication that the speculation was overdone and conditions exaggerated. The labor question is the most important for the moment and seems the chief de- terrent against higher prices. This Is SO hig and so acute that with all the important interest of this country banded together to bring about a so- luticn we believe it will come with out q rupture.
 Selling of copper metal by people who bought speculatlvely and found themselves unable to finance hold iugs. is reported to have been com Blef ed. HIS Co1ultlon IS bclllS TUT lowed bv a reversal of position on the part of consumers who are trying to cover requirements for new 7va~ orders.
