The u. S. senate has amended
it's e-honored rules providing
for a semblance of a cloture rule
to stop filibustering and shut off
debate by a two-thirds vote. In
little while we will be hearing
it was a great democratic meas
ure, when in fact for thirty-fve
years the republicans in the SEN
ate have repeatedly tried to get
such an amendment to the rules,
but were always defeated by a
solid democratic front. Until
Tom Reed was made Speaker of
the House of Representatives, a
quarter of a century ago, men,
bers could block legislation by
refusing to vote although pres
ent in their seats, thus breaking
aquorum. Speaker Reed enun-
ciated the rule that on roll cal.
members would be recorded as
present and not voting, which
killed filibustering in the House,
and brought down upon the head
of Speaker Reed bitter anathe-
mas of the democrats, and earn
ed him his title of Car Reed.
The history of filibustering in
Congress shows it has been the
weapon of democrats to prevent
legislation, and they have always
jealously guarded any attempt to
amend the rules. II the recent
filibuster has accomplished moth
ing else than to force the demo-
Gratis to change the senate rules
it was we'll worth the effort.

The press dispatches inform us
that Attorney General Gregory,
of Mr.. Wilson's cabinet, has
given the president a legal opin-
ion that he has all needed au-
thority to protect American lives
and rights at sea; that this au
thority conferred by the consti-
tuition could not be changed or
diminished by limitations impos-
ed by acts of Congress, and that
such acts attempting to limit that
authority were unconstitutional.
And yet the President presumes
to criticize the eleven senators
who refused to abrogate their
constitutional authority into his
hands. The constitution says
the power to declare war rests
exclusively in the hands of Con-
gress, and if the Attorney -Gener-
al is right in his opinion that
authority conferred by the
constitution cannot be changed
or diminished by limitations i'm
posed by acts of Congress, and
such acts attempting to limit that
authority are unconstitutional, !"
then the President has no occa-
sion to be peeved and brand as
traitors the men who insist upon
holding to their constitutional
prerogatives. Mr.. Wilson is not
a czar, but simply represents the
executive department of govern
ment, andif any one is subject
to criticism he is the man, in at.
tempting to usurp the constitu-
tional powers of Congress.

The legislature has adjourned; !;
Gov. Campbell is still at the

Arizona is still an active integral

the state on the rocks.

President Wilson has called a
special session of the sixty-ffth
Congress to assemble April 18th.
1t is satisfying to know that the
President has decided finally that
the legislative branch of the gov
ernment has coordinate powers
with the executive. The wise
old boys who framed the consti-
tuition understood their business
when they conferred distinctive
powers on each, and made it
impossible for either to usurp
the powers of the other.

ROADS CONFRONTED
BY GRAVE PROBLEMS
Handicapped in Efforts to Handle
Traffic Because of War
Conditions.

How the railroads are handicapped
In their efforts to handle the enormous
Increase in traffic Of all kinds because
Of war conditions Is explained by
Fairfax Harrison, chairman Of the rail-
roads war board, in replying to an in
Quiry by Senator Newlands, chairman
Of the congressional joint committee
on interstate commerce.
Mr.. Harrison says in part:
1.-THE capacity Of all the steel-plate
mills in the United States is 1,S5O,OOO
tons annually. We are advised that
the governments program for the COM
ing year will require about 10000
tons of such plates. The needs Of the
railroads in plates merely for repairs
to locomotives and cars during the
coming year will be 275,OOO tons. Or.
ders for new locomotives, roll and 9TH
er railroad equipment for use abroad
by the United States and the allies,
which have been given preference to
the needs of our railroads at home,
are also delaying the delivery Of our
orders. This presents one Of our most
serious problems In the outlook for
the next twelve months.
1.-THE continued increase in the eff
cheney Of the railroads depends largely
upon the delivery Of the cars and To-
comotives now on order, to replace
those worn out or destroyed from time
to time, and the regular receipt Of rail
and steel products for repair pur-
poses."
After citing official statistics show
ing a decline of $2,129,242 in the net
earnings from railway operations for
the six months ended June, 1917, as
compared with the corresponding
period of 1916, Mr.. Harrison says:
IF the prospects are, as railroad
managers believe them to be, that this
tendency may increase, then, to the ex-
tent that it does, 1t will increasingly
limit the ability of the railroads out
of income to maintain and develop
their facilities for transportation serv-
i've.
"This current tendency to establish
expenses on a higher level than ever
before is what gives railroad managers
their highest concern at the moment.
The present large volume Of revenues
may not always obtain; when 1t drops
the ability to curtail expenses proper
tionately is limited by conditions over
which the railway manager has no
longer any vestige of economic con-
troll.
Furthermore, these special condi-
tons, taken in connection with the
general conditions affecting the money
markets Of the country, with which
you are familiar, have made It today
difficult, If not impossible, for even the
most favored railroads to raise new
capital; the sale Of long-term bonds
Is apparently out Of the question ex-
cepting at heavier discount than prud-
ence will permit, and the issue Of new
stock upon any reasonable terms is
not within the power Of any railroad
company"
