The Third House

The proposition to abolish the senate in Arizona, which we shall vote on at the election No- vember T, is revolutionary and for that reason may be defeated. But is not this proposition also evolutionary and bound to win in the end?
 A two house legislative body is traditional and for that reason appeals to very many-wes so love tradition. As far as the United States is concerned, the system was inherited. Probably no one in the early history Of our coun-
Williams news., 1916-10-26
try thot one house would be suf-

ficient. ..- ~
 The growth of democracy, however, has put different as- pect on legislative matters. With ir a short time the power of vot- CTS over law-making has been in creased. The Initiative and Ref erendum have made it possible for the people to propose laws and vote on legislative measures submitted to them by their law making bodies.
 The measures providing for di- rect legislation have, virtually, created a third house, the voting body. Now the question is: Do we need three legislative bodies. If the people with the power to legislate which they have or are acquiring, may be thot of as legislative body, and they logic ally may, will it not occur to most people that three legislative bodies are too many?
 If we are to abolish one legis- lative body of the three. the sen- ate must go for it is the least representative and the least use- ful. From early history the sen- ate or upper house by whatever name called, has been reaction ary and the bulwark of wealth and privilege. In our republic the national senate is known as the house of millionaires and it has impeded progress at all times. We are not yet prepared to dispense with it for the reason mainly, that the voters of the whole country are not as well prepared to function as the sec ond-more appropriately first house in matters of law-making as are the voters of Arizona.
 Should the vote on Nov. 7th abolish the Arizona senate, there is no reasonable doubt that the i affairs of state would be con- ducted just as safely as now. .t

Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde

Charles F. Hughes a candidate for the presidency needing votes to gratify his ambition is strong suffragist. But MT. Hughes, the man is, another matter. Look back oyer his career and see what he has been. Examine his record and we find that he has a double personality-a Dr. Jekyll and Mir. Hyde personality. He is now Dr. Jekyll, all smiles for the cause of woman suffrage. Before he became a candidate for the presidency he was a Mir. Hyde with frown for every request of women that they be granted justice. AS governor of New York he vetoed the bill re- moving the sex distinction in the wage scale. As MT. Hyde Charles E. Hughes, Governor of New York, refused an audience to suffragists who wished to talk with him about the inequalities of the sexes before the law. With this MT. Hyde re- cord back of the political conven- tion which nominated him for the presidency what assurance have we that the Dr. Jekyll version will stick? Would not President Hughes again be MT. Hyde?

 Concerted action at this time when the belligerent nations are war-weary would very probably be rewarded with success. At any rate concerted insistence on neutral rights would influence nations in the future to cooper ate in maintaining world peace.

Rights of Neutrals

7 That warning nations should by general consent be granted the right to war upon each other to the detriment of neutral na-. tions, taking possession of air and sea for military operations, is logical because backed by the precedents of time, but very illogical when judged by the standard of the equities.
 It is not so long ago that con- munities and individuals were granted the right to settle their quarrels by force of arms, neu- trals giving the fight right-of- way and submitting to any in- convenience and loss which might result, as matter of course.
 Time has brought change and now feuds between communities and fights between individuals are discouraged by law and they who persist in seeking conclus- ion in the old way are forcibly arrested and punished all in the interest of social security and general welfare.
 Social security and general welfare will not have been ac- complished until the. right of na- tions to make war on each other in a military sense and on the welfare of neutral nations in an equally real sense, has been de- nied and denial made emphatic, by forcibie means, if necessary.
 There probably never was a time when the right of neutral nations to peacefully engage in commercial pursuits the world over was more seriously violated than now. The operations of tLe warning powers Of Europe are not nlyidirected toward each other but reach neutrals in the destruction of life and property and in political intrigue.
 As the leading neutral nation, it would seem entirely proper for the United States to lead in to deprive nations of the right to engage in war to settle their disputes and insist that the European war be term

Wiley Jones Record

One does not hear word in re- fection on the official record of Hon. Wiley Jones, attorney general for the state of Arizona. Mir. Jones completes lis first elective term of office this year and so excellent has been his record that there would seem to be no doubt of his reelection. His republican oppon- ent is, doubtless hoping for the landslide which optismistic repub- licans predict will sweep the coun- try and land republicans in the public offices. That sort of a land slide is not in evidence anywhere yet, and certainly will not appear in Arizona.
 Mr. Jones should easily hold every democratic vote in Arizona and he should get quite a sprinkl. ing of republican votes. However good a lawyer MT. Jones' opponent is it would be a mistake to elect him in view of the fact that the office of attorney general is now so we'll filled. It is one hundred to one that a new man would not do as we'll.

Roorhack Premature

The republicans are premature with their roorback about Secre- tary of War Baker insulting our revolutionary fore fathers. Had they sprung it few days before election, not giving a chance to circulate denial, they might have gotten away with tito some ex- tent, at least. So improbable is the yarn that one can hardly think very many would have been de- ceived by it.
 Not only did MT. Baker not say anything derogatory to the char acter of the colonist who fought 8 war thru to a successful end freed America from humiliating allegi- ence to England, but he praised the revolutionists. MT. Baker is from genuine American stock and he can be counted on 10 defend Americanism at every historical stage.
