ST0CK|SSUE TO BE TAKEN INTO
 STATE COURTS

Whether the corporation commission can enforce the depositing of promotion stock with that commission is to be de- termined in the federal courts.
 There was filed yesterday in the United States court at Tucson on be- half of B. F. Baker a complaint in which Baker seeks an interlocutory in junction enjoining and restraining the members of the Arizona corporation commission from attempting to enforce the order made by said commission re- quiring B. E. Baker to deposit with the commission 100000 shares of stock is- sued to him by the New Dominion Copper company, corporation. The papers in the above suit had not yet been served on the members of the corporation commission when their of fees closed last night.
 In granting permit by the corpora tion commission for the sale of stock there is clause in the permit which provides that all promotion stock must be pooled with the commission pending the financing of the company.
 Baker owned 200,000 shares of the 1 stock of the New Dominion company when that company was given permit for the sale of its~stock. It is stated that Baker disposed of some of hi. stock which, under the orders of ths commission, should have been deposit ed with that body. Baker in the United States court. is now seeking to proven the commission from attempting to en force that order.

The Offensive

An exchange says The Germans have advertised their great offensive, etc. And since it has not yet taken place contemporary is inclined to think it may be bluff But recall the widest advertise ment of the offensive has from Germany Mention of it has been made chiefly in allied dis patches and not long ago. Secretary Baker, in weekly communique assumed that it apout take place. It is that Germans have threatened it without fixing approximate date but if word garding it had been uttered it something which we might constantly expect at tme
 Things their face, to be ripening for it. the slow gathering of German forces the front and increase of artillery Since Cambrai though, the Ger not be said to have had initiative gather from the dispatches that their raids of which either side have been of any importance, have been more frequent
 The state of things the front be expected to continue One side the other must make break And the side that makes it must have great preponderance of strength give a hope of The operations on that front for years have been utterly frutess the net result being the death of myrfads of men whose friends cannot feel the remotely to a victory.
 There is not now preponderance of strength the and there cannot be- either until the Germans have transferred large bodies from the theaters until hundreds of thousands of Americans have been brought the assistance the allies
 These accretions to both sides in progress that may reasonably suppose that before long there will be offensive but whether allied or German offensive, is a matter of conjecture.

Bootlegging and Murder

h. two in this country when pootleggers were down by officers they arrest and shot kill. In neither their bullets wide of the mark. In the bootlegger captured and iii the other he made his escape We mention this cir constance to make little clearer the seriousness of the crime of bootlegging and the msapprehension under estimation of the seriousness of by those who drew up the prohibition amendment in fixing the pen ay for its violation
 That the punishment made so light has always seemed to ridiculous. crime which will drive the criminal to the further crime of murder certainly which should be adequately punished We do not suppose every bootlegger would such lengths to avoid Neither do all foot pads and all burglars commit murder when they encounter resistance Some burglars do not carry deadly weapons But in fix ing the penalty for highway robbery and burglary distinction has been made between foot pads and burglars who would crown their crimes with homicide and those who would not.
 We may omit needless and irrelevant a compari- son between the foot pad the burglar hand and the bootegger the other All will agree that highway robbery and burglary honorable by com parison with bootlegging and that those vacations list far better class of citizens.
 Still ridiculous than the penalty fixed in the amendment for the punishment of bootegging is tns frequent moderation of this penalty by the courts. moderation which is unwarranted except by mitgat- ing circumstances. We would like to know what pos sible mitigating circumstances there could be- There are no mitigating circumstances in arson in pocket picking or rape. There is other crime than boot logging committed with greater deiberaton, with more earnest intent and with more determined de- fiance of the law
 Unless the legislature should greatly increase the penalty for bootlegging and in a large the discretion of the courts shall feel that the people of the represented in the legislature really desire the enforcement of prohbitos law.

You laid your little white veil away, Margot-- The veil of your first communion day, Seven long years ago The veil that covered your smooth brown head When first you knelt for the holy bread Think you again to it so, That little white veil of yours,

 Grand'mere- When the flags of France shall spring new born Free to the and air And raised in the of million Alsace shall come to her own again. Surely, that day would be fair

PRINTERS WILL
 DANCE TO G|VE
 HELP TO NEEDY

The forthcoming tenth annual ball of Phoenix Typographical union. which will be given at Patrick's hall on Eastern Monday evening, April l, gives promise of totally eclipsing any previous effort of the local or ganization.
 The committee on arrangement, composed of G. E. Ferguson, H. D. Triplet and ". N. Baus, has about completed all preliminary arrange ments, including the placing of tickets on sale, and reports the de- mand for the tickets to be much better than former years.
 It is well known that thousands of people from all parts of the United States journey to Arizona each year seeking health and recuperation from the ravages of disease in this mag' nificent climate. Quite a consider able portion of these people are sui ferers from tubercular troubles, and of course certain proportion of them are printers, the environments of this trade being such that this particular malady meets with less physical resistance. Many of these people are doubly unfortunate in that they come here wholly unprepared llndHcldHy lUT the months or III activity and quiet that is necessary for their recovery or relief, so that many of them become public charges. This is not true, however, of mem- bers of the printers organization, for it maintains fund for the ameli- oration of the sufferings and the supplying of the needs of it's members.
 The local union carries an ab normal assessment for this purpose, based on a percentage of the earn 1 ings of the members. This, however, during the last few years has not sufficed, and the proceeds of each annual ball has been devoted ex- clusively to the demands of the sick | fund. Even this does not always pro- vide sufficient funds, so that it is 1 the custom every other year to offer | the tickets for sale to subordinate unions and others throughout the United States, and they have all ways met with a generous response.
 Besse's orchestra has been en- gagged to supply music and the fur nishing of refreshments will be in competent hands. Tickets will be
 placed on sale in convenient cen-
 ters within a few days, and it is
 hoped that the wholehearted people
 in Phoenix will bear this particular
 event in mind.
