The amendment further pro- vides that the people shall have the power to propose laws and amend ments 10 the constitution and enact or reject such laws and amendments at the polls independent of the leg islature.
 The number of legislators under this amendment is apportioned among the several counties as follows: Apache, l. Cochlse. r Coconino. I: Gila, ,; Graham. 2; Greenlee, , Mar icopa, 6; Mojave. l: Navajo, l; Pima. ]; Santa Cruz, l; Yavapai, 1. and Yuma, l.
 In an argument submitted by the state federation of labor they point out that the system of senate and lower house permit a legislator to fool his constituents by introducing measures promised them in his house. and killing them in the other. They also claim that one house will threat en 10 and actually does hold up needed legislation because the other house declines to pass some pet mea- sure favored in the first house. The federation also argues that with one house the people will be in touch with their representatives more closely. Another argument is that one house would be more represen- tative because the voter would elect pure representatives and would know which one was responsible for an ac- tion.

 titions of the People
 The first measure proposed through the will of the people is known under the title of "Abolishing the Death Penalty"
 The proposed amendment to the penal code of the revised statutes of Arizona 1913 would provide that every person guilty of murder in the first degree shall suffer Imprisonment for life and every person guilty of murder in the second degree shall be confined in the state prison for not less than 10 years. No person con- victed of murder shall be recom- mended for pardon, communication or parole by the board of pardons and paroles except upon newly discov- cred evidence establishing to the sat isfaction of all the members of said board his or her innocence of the crime for which conviction was se cured"
 l If the voters give this act the 1 benefit of their franchise the death penalty will be abolished in Arizona No person convicted of first degree murder can be pardoned or paroled unless evidence is found which posi- lively asserts his innocence. All per. sons convicted of second degree mur- der will be required to serve at leas 10 years or their sentence before they can even apply for a parole or com mutation.

decision, would have been to have
hurt the Three-Eye league beyond
measure, and not to have helped the
Central at all; to have ruled as it did,
the commission helped the Tearney
wheel immeasurably and did not in
jure the Central association.
The commissions ruling seems
more right than just" if that is not
paradoxical. and more sensible than
fair. 1t gave cognizance to AL Tear
ney's standing in ''welching' on his
proposition to occupy or evacuate'
the arsenal burg, and shows that even
the pledge of one in position to make
pledges is not binding when it con-
fiicts with baseball law.
That the decision is unfair to Pres
ident Justice and those behind him in
the fight is most evident, but that un
fairness is only personal, as it should
hurt nothing but their pride. On the
other hand, it is a big victory for Al
Tearney, the suave politician, who has
his own way pretty generally, despite
his many enemies. He had it in the
Rockford issue, even when his own
hackers demurred as to his chances
of being successful he had his own
way of keeping Rock Island off the
baseball map for years, and doubtless
is laughing to himself over the sup
port given him by the people of the
arsenal burg after the way he tricked
them. He played the trump card when
he went to Ban Johnson, the bigges,
man in baseball. Johnson never lost
an argument yet. though it took hin
years to win some of them.

sistent also. When the c. A invaded

DEFEAT OF JUSTICE

Burlington Gazette: The celebrated
Rock Island territorial fight is ended.
That is significant statement, and
the fact that the Central association
lost the battle, or that President JUS
tice did-for, unfortunately, it was
sense of the word, that was fighting
for Rock Islands of secondary i'm
portance.
An honest opinion is that it vas
probably a good thing that Al Tear
ney was given the decision. The Cen
trail association, at a meeting called
for next Monday at Cedar Rapids,
doubtless will take Fort Dodge into
the league, thereby adding a city that
has had a rest, basballically speaking,
and is unanimously in favor of Cen
trail association ball. Rock Island was
divided, to say the least, and the Cen
trail could not have hoped to have
prospered there under the circum-
stances. 1t was all right to fight the
battle out, as it was begun when Rock
Island was clamoring for Central as
ISOLATION baseball but now that it is
over, no tears will be shed-the Three
Eye is happy, the Central association
is not sad
To say that the national commits
sion's ruling in the matter was right
is a statement quite different in sub
stance, but even in that there appears
the observation of the unwritten law
which is necessary tC the games life

association, or, properly putting it, to

AN ELF FROM FARMLAND.

Once there lived in Fairyland a ca.

be counted on at all When one
thought to find her visiting the Rose
Fairy. whose home was by the garden
wall, she had already left and was
flashing here and there like streak Of
lightning. She led all Of the fairy folk
such a dance that they decided to
teach her TO be more reliable. But she
was such a sprightly little thing and
looked 30 pretty In her dainty silver
frock that they hesitated TO change her.
One day when the queen had planned
some work for Quicksilver and she had
slipped away and could not be found
the kings patience was exhausted. and
he called his counselors to help him de-

build a little glass house for her with
out doors, through which she might at
tempt TO escape, and to place a little
ladder at the rear 30 that she might
climb up and look out upon the scenes
of her former naughtiness.
They had difficulty In catching her.
but at last she was placed In her new
