GOVERNOR CAMPBELL HAS ENDEARED HIMSELF
 TO CITIZENS OF YUMA.

The big He Highbnder has received knockout blow at the hands of the Governor of the state of Arizona and by dealing this blow Governor Thomas Campbell has greatly endeared himself to the people of the city of Yuma
 Early last Saturday morning telegram was received by the city authorities from Governor Campbell ing that he had APPROVED the recently enacted "char ter amendment which gives the city council the right to
 fix the rates chraged by all public utilities in this city which naturally means deathblow hghbinder for power light, gas and water
 This is signal victory for the city of Yuma and usual victory for City Attorney Thomas D. Moloy who the amendment recently voted and adopted by the good people of Yuma. It is victory of which the peo pie may we'll feel proud for it fought in most vicious by those who in cahootS with the Los Angeles owners of the local utility plants
 Immediately after the election Mayor George Michel sen Attorney Moloy and Pat Sullivan hastened Phoenix to lay the entire matter before the attorney general and Governor Campbell for their approval the amendment re- qung the governors official approval before could be- come effective.
 At first thought the attorney general in favor of approving the amendment forthwith but after consultation with his assistant he withheld his approval until the matter could be thoroughly investigated Whether not the measure finally approved by the attorney general the telegram from the governor did state but appre bend Attorney General Jones too good lawyer to re- fuse his ndorsement But be that may Governor Camp bell has signed and that is all the law requires the opn ion of the attorney general being merely advisory
 The city council anticipating that Governor Campbell would approve the charter amendment has already passed la ordinance which under stipulation with the a torney for the big He Fghbnde will be held in abeyance until the pass the legality of the ratexing measure The difference between the present hghbnder rates and the fixed by the city council is to be kept separate fund and returned to the if the hold the ordinance be valid and binding.
 Now that this ordinance has been approved by the gov ernor after having been voted and approved by e people wonder what Mr. Chairman Jones of the corpora
 on commission will think? In his display of dis gust and anger the people of Yuma he declared that the corporation commission will hold another meeting in Yuma"
 Thanks to our own people, who voted this charter amendment and thanks to Governor Campbell, who ap- proved the amendment will be necessary for Mr. Chairman Jones return Yuma any pretext what Yuma we'll get along without any official who dis plays the temper he plainly showed when he stopped from coming the big He Hghbinders the mud dy question: Hereafter Yuma free from the influ of the corporation commission for fix the suit ourselves The corporation commission dead door nail, far meddlng with Yuma is c9n cerned MT Jones seek other pastures in which to show his abnormal desire jump sideways whenever l He Highbinder winks the other eye | One of my friends who is very close to the He High binder says my attack the corporation commission
 hurting Yuma" only wish had dozen papers so could make the attack" little frequently for if clipping the claws of the corporation commission and pulling the fangs from the big He Hghbnder hurting Yuma then Yuma would like be hurt that way every day in the week Score another victory for the SENTINEL. l
