The Season S Best Joke

their ballots in the coming election publication OF
100000 of the booklets will cost the taxpayers OF tne
state Sf1Oo Mailing them will cost S1OOO 1or stamps
and $1,000 for envelopes and clerk hire
The voters will glance at the booklets and throw
them away and when election day comes, wade through
the four foot ballot candidates and initiated measures
best they may ,
That is the average voter will do so. He Will marx
4 cross here and there and hope for the best
The ignorant voter will have far SIMPLER time OF
II He will merely take into the voting booth sample
ballot: carefully marked for him by some politician
Who knows his business He will then lay the sample
beside his own ballot and where he sees cross on the
sample he will mark a corresponding cross on his own
That has been frequently about Arizona polls SINCE
statehood brought lot of so called popular legisa-
ton into being.
The Joke of the thing comes, though when the afore
said ignorant voter fails get his sample and real bal
lots matched up properly and consequently votes exactly
contrary TO his instructions
1t would be far better for Arizona to eliminate this
haphazard popular" legislation and bestow pains IN
stead on eectng legislature Of serious and capable

chosen as the most available can

more acceptable than his Inflated

Col. Pleasant undoubtedly re-
ceived q majority of the best ele.
