 Judging from the personal appearances of the membels the legislature of higher grade, higher average than either the first the second, and We believe there will be less of pickering and playing for factonal advantage than distinguished both of those bodies.
 The organization of the legislature yesterday did go the exten. of disclosing whether not it will indulge in the reckless extravagances of it's predecessors in filling the chambers and committee them, their capacity to perform useful service.
 Legislatures usually do make such disclosures all once; for day or two there is pretense economy and then, by one. clerks added snrreptously until the list far exceeds the llst of the members.
 We hope the present legislature will so set itself against this practice and will employ only needed attaches and such as really efficient If this is done do not think any future legislature will the old practice, and the third legislature will go down in Arizona history the point which great reform was made

To Eliminate The Fork Rarrep

The agitation for the destruction of the pork haIrel is not but it is taking d more con- crete form than it had in the past when barrel" was assailed only annually by ineffective criticism The pork barre' can be eliminated only by an amend ment to the constitution giving greater elasticity to the presidents power of veto and that is now pro- posed.
 At present, the president has no choice but to approve or disapprove of such bills in their entirety Some force has been given to the agitation in the present congress by the exposures made of the enormous amount of graft pork in the river and harbor bill and the omnibus public building bill now pending If the president could special items in these bills while approving of other items. there is no doubt that much money be saved the govern ment

Every congressman knows that he will he applauded by his constituents if he can obtain fat appropria- tion for public building in his district for dredging the channelless creek th flows undsturbed by commerce through his baliwick and compara- lively few of them the temptation to put their hands into the open pork barrel
 Some direction and support are being given to the agitation for the proposed amendment by the Merchants association of New York and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States the latter work ing through local chambers of commerce throughout the country. This will be of congress and there is much business to be transacted before March It is hardly to be expected resolution approving of the amendment will be passed this winter but it is hoped and with reason that 1t will have more consideration and meet with better luck in the next congress. In the meantime, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States is taking a nationwide referendum of business men.
 In the early days of the nation appropriation bills were very simple. The money voted in lump for the several departments, with restric- tions as to the particular items methods of it's expenditure. However. congress has become and more specific in the restrictions it imposes upon the expenditure of the money, specifying just where 1t shall be spent just what plans shall be followed in the building of a public work just what salaries shall be paid to every employee and clerk etc. so that it now amounts to usurpation of great part of the executive power by congress This cause of pork barrel' bills called by our fathers 'Iogro- ing bills If congress should simply vote s2O00OOOO for river and harbor work in 1917 the chief army engineers would have the spending of the money under the direction of the secretary war and lt would be up to him spend it where it was needed and in the best
 But since congress specifics every river and creek to be improved, every congressman tries to get of his own creeks in the bill re- gardless of their merits avenues Of commerce and no bill can pass until majority of the congressman thus placated Therefore have expensive chan nel works waterless rivers monumental public buildings in unknown hamlets, navy yards and dry docks that no batrleshps get to- and army posts a thousand miles from any possible enemy. If the president could veto separate items he could put an end to this He would then be responsible as he is now. for every such waste Of public money
 The plan is opposed by those who think that con should alone be responsible legislation that the presidents power is already too large that the evil could be cured by improvement in the rules Of the senate and house, and that the example of the states that have given this additional power their is good guide for running of sincere in cases but in the main they merely refuge for congressman who are unwilling to re- lnquish a privilege that they have found valuable The amendment the federal constitution ought to be made
