Judge A. S. Hawkins, of Phoe-
nix, thinks we should have law
to pay every voter So for casting
his vote, which would be an in
centive to bring out all the vo-
ters. The Judge is wrong. We
should have a law assessing every
voter SIS just the same as they
now assess a poll tax, and when
the voter casts his ballot he
should be given a receipt which
would cancel his SIS assessment,
and if failed to vote make him
pay the assessment, which could
be turned into a fund to support
the state government in which he
had so little interest. A man
should never be hired to vote.
He should be penalized for not
voting.
The Winslow mail., 1918-11-29
We are pleased to observe that

We are pleased to observe that
the democratic papers of the
state are urging upon the coming
legislature to repeal the present
rotten primary and election laws,
and return to the old system of
party conventions to nominate
tickets, and let parties manage
their organizations without being
hedged about with laws. These
laws were written into the stat
utes by the democrats, thinking
it would strengthen their party
hold on the state, but now after
FIVE years they are beginning to
realize that either the primary
Law or the democratic party in
Arizona will have to quit. 1t is
perfectly right and proper for
the state to legislate how the
vote for candidates at an election
shall be handled, but it is an in
fringement of American liberty
for the state to legislate how a
political party shall proceed to
nominate it's candidates, or at
tempt to regulate the manner in
which a political party shall be
officered and controlled. Paternal-
ism is carried to the ridiculous
when the state passes law as
to how many shall be on a coun-
ty committee, just when they
should meet, and how the state
party committees shall meet and
organize. The right of a state
to meddle in politics should be-
gin only when the candidates are
presented for places on the gen.
eral election ticket. 1t should
not be a function of the state to
say when and how candidates
should be nominated. That is
the concern only of the individ-
uals who make up the political
party.

PARADE.


One of the most beautiful parades or
pageants staged in st. Paul for long
time, was the Patriotic Celebration of
Thanksgiving held last Thursday. Many
nationalities took part expressing their
devotion to the United States, by the
many beautiful floats which appeared in
the parade, starting on Summit Avenue.
Not the least among these contingencies
was the Jewish Division Of the process
sion. Several hundred marchers took
part, number of divisions being deco
rated with a ribbon with the words,
"Palestine for the Jewish Nation" There
were also number Of Jewish floats, one
representing the Jewish Welfare Board,
with the Bnai Birth Service Flag of one
fifth of its members displayed, another
with Isaih and his prophecy that there
shall be no more wars. Another pretty
scene was that of an old Jew being led
in his return to Palestine, by four young
ladies representing the Allied Nations.
The Jewish contingent was headed by
band, and attracted much favorable
comment along the entire line of march.
