l. R. BARROW SAN
 DIEGO POSTMASTER

Phoenicians in general will be inter ested in the story of the installation of a former citizen of Phoenix in the Of- flee of postmaster of San Diego, espec- ially since the man installed is Lucius R. Barrow, for Mr. Barrow took no second place in the matter Of friends during his residence here Mir. Barrow was foreman of The Arizona Republi- can and was prominent in and ont of political circles He went from The Ar izona Republican to become foreman of the san Diego Union.
 The San Diego Union of recent date contains this interesting account of the induction of MT Barrow into his new office on March 1:
 Charles H Bartholomew who for nearly nine years has been postmaster in San Diego today will turn over the office to Lucius R. Barrow, his success sor. recently appointed to the post by President Wilson.
 "The new postmaster has been res ident of San Diego for ten years and during that time has been foreman of The Union composing room. He came to San Diego from Phoenix. Ariz. where he had been employed for some years on the Arizona Republican He has been a staunch Democrat and a worker for the Democratic cause since Ee was old enough to vote He acted as secretary of the San Diego County Democratic central committee in the last presidential and congressional campaign He WAS selected by Con- gressman William kettner from the ranks of the local democrats as best fitted for the position. That the selec- ton Of Congressman Kettner was pop nlar was proved by the fact that Bar row was given the unanimous support of the county central committee.

The Rule of the Majority

An iron-elad barrier in the senate is about to be broken by the adoption of rule to prevent small minority a single member from defeating the will of the majority thing that has often been done in the past. Attempts have made time to time to apply the coture debate but they have always broken against the wall of senatorial courtesy Rut that barrier for years has been slowly dis mtegrating until now it appears that rule may be established that will expedite the business of the senate
 There very good for the old rule There enough others prevent unconsdered legislation. almost every it is possible halt measure for time so that 1t can be determined whether not it is good one. The minority is amply provided for every stage But the minority should not be allowed O exercise tyrannical power such as has often exercised in the past and which 1t has recently exercised to defeat legislation which whole country thought needed and which the very large majority of the members representing in almost equal proportions both parties demanded. That was the fatal straw the load of niquty which had been piled upon the rule
 The rule of the majority is founded upon the nee essary doctrine that the majority is right Without that doctrine there would be democratic rep rcsentative government. The majority may be tenn porary If the senate rules as they they are be amended allow the majority to be halted for consideration. And the last if many one more. than third of the members of the senate believe the majority is wrong they still defeat the ma jorty Surely that is all the that should beiong the majority
 The instances of the exercise of its unbridled power are numerous. We of Arizona felt il twelve years ago when the Omnibus Statehood bill expired at the a short session when majority of ators were ready and anxious to vote for it. In other case a senator talked and read for twentysix continuous hours to prevent impatient majority from passing bin
 There have been instances in history of legislative bodies being overawed by military force and com pelled to vote or refrain from voting for pending measures That has happened in Russia. but there was no greater tyranny in the exercise of that power or might than in the exercise of the power which the old rule of the gave a member who chose to use it as a tyrant.

Tho Minimum Wage

Mrs. McKays minimum bin which passed both houses provides neither the highest the low est minimum wage fixed by the laws of the various states The wage t10 finally fixed disposed of of the opposition the bill Nearly all hotels and restaurants, as well most of the employers of women already paid than that that their proprietors ceased to feel any the nearly all the stores the average wage paid women s in of s1O week. Some inexperienced clerks or positions of little responsibility less. so that may be expected that they will be displaced by others more competent. and in the end the ployers will find themselves benefited. The only persons who likely to be inconvenenced arc those whom the bill sought serve, the women who receive less than S10 week. Employers will put into their places clerks who they think will better the minimum wage
 The result will be a better service. though that is what of .he bill regarded incidental matter.

Plain Politics

Two very important bills. important to the and the other county, sacrificed politics in the legislature. Neither bill was political One the executive budget bill other the bill creating another division of the superior Co., chse county From the outset the budget bill to in- augurate a system which has been adopted in every advanced state in the Union encountered the oppos- ton of the recognized Hunt members of the senate. It held up at every possible stage though there was always majority of republicans and democrats for it's It could be held longer than Wed ncsday. when it passed and to the houge.

There already couple of members outside the Hunt caucus who probably did know what they voting on.
 The Cochise county superior court bill was de- sgred to relieve the congestion of the that county. It introduced at the request of Judge Lockwood of the superior court who pointed out the situation a serious It was frantically opposed by the Hunt members of the senate who nterposed a variety Of possible contingencies one being division of Cochise county. thing which has been talked of for dozen years. last they consented to pas sage of the bill. provided the emergency clause stricken off But emergency proposed to be met and the friends of the bill Insisted upon that clause The bill at q late day passed by thirds

Their objection the budget bill that 1t would reduce the affairs of Of extravaganza which in with the admission of Arizona to statehood Former Governor Hunt has al- ways been the steadfast opponent of the budget system.
