BY APPROPRIATIONS
Washington Taking Steps to Pre-

in Public Places.

Expectorating in public places is
likely to spread influenza, according
to health department officials, and
section 81, article IL, Of the police reg
ulations imposes a penalty Of from
81 to $40 upon persons who engage in
such practice. The regulation has
been strictly enforced from time to
time. and Maj. Pullman. who is con-
fined to his home with an attack of
influenza, this afternoon directed that
members of the force enforce the sec
ton to the letter.
A message was sent to the several
precincts this afternoon instructing
the captains to give the necessary di-
mands and to advise them of the pro-
visions contained in the police regula-
tons, which are as follows:
mo person shall expectorate or spit
in or upon any part of any street
railway car, or other public vehicle
carrying passengers for hire, or in or
upon any public building under the
District Of Columbia, or upon any
parking. footpath or sidewalk in the
District Of Columbia"

Of the enforcement Of similar regula-
lions in other cities. the authorities
deeming it advisable to put a stor
to the practice in the interest of the
public health. It is stated that If

Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1918-11-23

The good judgment of the voters of Arizona was
proved in the large vote and ajority by which the
legislative disricting amendment to the constitution
adopted. In that the democratic voters gave an
instance of sef-denial since it plain that an in
would be certain result.
Under the present system there have been only
two counties. Pima and Coconino, which have been
likely to send republican representatives the legis
lature and the latter county has so frequently sent
democratic members, good ones, however that it is
rather counted upon to have democratic represen-
tation. Even Pima, believe, has never sent
solid republican delegation Maricopa republicans are
we'll represented this year and were fairly well rep
resented in the Third legislature, not as result of
republican strength in the county but democratic
temporary weakness.
Under the system We may expect republican
members from every large county, for it would be
almost impossible to divide any county so that there
would not be a republican predominance in some di-
vision of it Most the larger towns in the state
republican
But with the great normal democratic majority
in the state the republicans in ordinary circumstances
will be in the minority, but the parties will be more
nearly evenly represented. That will be better for
the state and think it will also be better for the
democratic party, which has never derived any ad-
vantage as party from its great preponderance in
the legislature.
The chief advantage of the system however
is not in its tendency toward party equalization 1t
is in the means it affords of improving both the
democratic and republican membership Of the leg
slature.

president is going bring this country into an en-
tangling alliance with European countries is I'M
founded II the president disposed to do so,
though he might greatly embarrass the country, he
could not enmesh it. No agreement to which he and
the American delegates to the peace conference might
consent would become binding America until it
had been ratified by twothirds of the senators That
in the present circumstances is a sufficient safe
guard.
1t is little too early to be apprehensive that we
shall be drawn into dangerous league of nations.
