The house practically refused

The house practically refused
to do anything but adjourn, per-
haps to give the members little
more time to devote to a quiet
game of draw poker.
Wednesday morning bill was
introduced to amend the constitu-
tion to put the control and the
government of the corporation
commission in the power of the
legislature. This corporation
certainly needs some law to con-
troll it even if nothing but the
herd law of the state, and not
permit it longer to run at large.
Senator Roberts is the active
little boy when it comes to in
Producing bills. In addition to
the one above he introduced a
bill making railroads responsible
for all the stock killed on their
right-of-way, and one providing
a bounty on coyotes, jack-rabbits
and gophers, and other dangerous
animals. He also took slant at
the esdemocratic state machine by
introducing a bill abolishing
nepotism, which if passed, will
practically leave the state with
out any appointive employees.
The average statesman's idea of
governmental efficiency is to fill
all the appointive positions under
his control with his relations
even to the fourth generation,
and especially is this true in Ari-
zona.
The house put in most of it's
time discussing the question of
junketing tour for the committee
on public institutions, who want
ed to personally visit all the
towns where such institutions are
located and give them the "once
over" as to their needs, but as
there were only seven members
on the committee and there are
thirty-fve members in the house,
the scheme was killed by a vote
of Z to "a. If there had been Is
members on the committee the
proposition would have prevailed.
The committee on patronage
created a new job for one of the
faithful, who had been overlook
ed at the time of the original dis
tribution of plums, and John j.
Sweeney was made legal advisor
for the house, with a daily sti-
pend in keeping with the dignity
of the position. The members
either forgot the state had an at
torney general, or else lacked
confidence in his legal ability.
But what would have become Of
Sweeney?
Both houses will probably ad-
journ today over Sunday, with
the hope that real activity in the
law mills will then begin with a
governor on the job.
We hope so.

Tuesday three more bills were
introduced in the senate. One
provides >for pensioning school
teachers after twenty years of
service in the state instead of
twenty-five; and one amends the
law in relation to the construc-
truction and maintenance of
school buildings. Another bill
provides for paying jurors So per
day and 10 cents for mileage
going and coming. Perhaps the
senators can explain why a juror
is only entitled to So per day and
an elevator boy can earn SIS,
which can find justification only
in the fact that the elevator job
is a political plum, and being a
juror is mandatory service.

If troubled with sleeplessness try

will come.-Peoples Home Journal.

Cecil, aged four, had often gone with
Aunt Elsie to the garden to weed, and
had asked the names of the different
weeds, and was told that one was
lamb's-quarters. Several days later he

man to bloom out in all his beau
ty in these days of the high cost
of living, and cabaret entertain
ments, when he hasn't got a
"jit" in his pocket? Always the
first act of the legislature is to
pass the appropriation bill to pay
salaries, and history fails to re-
cord that any legislator ever vot-
ed to postpone it's immediate con-
sideration. The present legisla-
ture had their bill all ready for
the governors signature a week
ago, but the clerk of the house
cannot find a governor that is
willing to sign, Notwithstanding
there are two embryonic COVER
nors haunting the halls of the
capitol every day. 1t is expect
ed the court will relieve this
distressed condition within the
next forty-eight hours with their
decision as to whom the people
should recognize as the de facto

the chief clerk is carrying the
bill around in his pocket, with a
fountain pen in his hand, so he
can get immediate action.
Both houses adjourned last
Thursday night over to Monday,
because they grew weary mark
ing time, and wanted a few days
of rest, and an opportunity to
write home for some money.
The meeting of the legislature
was a grand thing for the eleva-
tor boy at the capital. 1t was
discovered he was only getting
$3.50 a day, which is not the
union scale for political jobs, and
Immediately some senator made
a demand that the board of
control raise his pay to the re-
cognized rate of $500 per day,
and the request has been cheer
fully granted.
Monday the senate listened to
the reading of a bill to build a
hospital for miners. and one to
appropriate 5000, 900 for the COM
pletion of the state capitol build
ing. Then it adjourned for the
day.
In the house a bill was in
troduced providing for state
flag, which is to be a gorgeous
affair divided into thirteen equal
segments or rays, starting in the
center and spreading out to the
edge, colored light red and yell
low, with a star. This is a very
important piece of legislation,
and it is most surprising that the
state has got along SO we'll the
past five years without one. We
hope there is an emergency

Mrs. Mckay introduced a bill
providing for a minimum wage
of $1,000 per week for women,

Preliminary octimatnc of tho

Preliminary estimates of the
mineral production of the United |
States shows that the state of
Arizona produced thirty per cent
of the copper during 1916, and
the total output Of all minerals
during the year had a record
value of over 5000, 100000. The
mining activities in Arizona have
materially increased during the
year, and the state easily ranks
first with no near competitor.
The figures show there is sub
stantial increase also in the pro-
duction of gold, silver and zinc.
While this showing is very graf
flying as indicating activity and
prosperous industrial conditions,
it also carries with it the fact
that the natural resources of the
state have been depleted 200,-
000,0 900 of dollars, and the state
gets no part of this as heritage
for future generations. The con-
Istitution of Arizona recites that
the state has power to levy
production tax, and if that term
means mineral production, the
legislature now in session should
pass bill levying a per centum
on production for the benefit of
a permanent university and pub
Elic school fund. 1t would come
ugder the head of royalty the
mining companies pay to the
Estate as trustee for the people
for taking out and shipping away
the natural resource of the soil.
Arizona is entitled to a portion
of the money value of it's miner
al output in addition to the regu-
lar tax levy for current state ex-
penses. The United States gov
ernment accepts this theory Of
Its inherent rights when last
Iyear Congress passed a bill per-
mitting the mining of minerals
on Indian reservations by paying
a royalty to the government for
| the benefit of the Indians.

New York, Oct 9-Speculaton in cottcnseed oil, both trade and outside interests, on the New York Produce exchange, was forbidden today by the board of managers of th2 exchange at the instance of the food administration at Washington.

Argument in Supreme Court Ye>ter- day in Case Growing Out of Riy.
 CT Changing It's Course.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Argument was heard in the supreme court today in the suit of the state of Arkansas against the state of Tennessee for de termination of the boundary line be- tween the states. The action grows out of the fact that the Mississippi river changed it's course several years ago.
 Permission for Tennessee to bring suit against Arkansas in a flood dam age controversy has been granted by the court, the rule being Ieturnable next January. Tennessee alleges that it's citizens have been damaged annually, both ill life and property, as the result of overflows of the Mis- sissipJi, caued by construction of levees along the west bank of the river in Arkansas. The court is asked to enjoin the defendant from increasing the present height of the levees and to appoint a commission to determine the damage caused by previous floods.
