The Quarantine

A quarantine is "any forced stopage of travel, communication, or inter course, on account of courageous or infectious disease"
 There is always a wide variance of opinion, as to the advisability and ad' vantages of the quarantine. Honesty in every instance prompts the varied opinion, although business and help fulness of proper quarantine regula- tions where conditions demand their enforcement
 The Warren district today is faced with a peculiar quarantine condition. growing out of the prevalence of in nuenza, and resulting in the stopping of dances in Bisbee.
 Briefly, the facts are as follows: the city health officer believes in closing dances as a precautionary measure against the epidemic; he explained his stand to the city council, and as a result, the city marshal has ordered dances in Bisbee discontinued indefi- nitely. On the other hand, the county health authorities take the stand that the dance does not contribute great ly an element of danger, that those enjoying the dance are happy and fin a frame of mind and exercise which is deterrent to influenza. Conse- quently, dances in other parts of the district continue.
 Two examples of how this works out came up last night and the night preceding. On the first occasion a dance had been advertised for Bis bee. When the dancers arrived at the hall they told the band had been renewed They boarded a street car and attended a dance in Lowell the same night Last night a large dance was held in Warren.
 Surely some remedy for this situ- ation is possible. Either the dance is all right, or all wrong, and should be permitted in the entire district or forbidden. To the casual observer and the medical novice it seems that the health officers could get together on this minor question and come to some common decision which will remedy the present condition.

 PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 9.-Consider- able anxiety has been aroused in political circles regarding the quar- antining of Phoenix, which has been placed under the ban as a means of checking the recurrence of the in- flucnza epidemic now raging here. It is feared that under the drastic regu- lations which have been promulgated to offset the disease, the legislature will be compelled to postpone the opening.
 To cope effectively with the cpl demic the city commission adopted an ordinance said to be the most drastic measure that has been framed by any municipal body for this pur- pose. Every form of public amuse- ment is forbidden and it is possible that severe restrictions will be placed upon the conduct of business.
 Period Indefinite.
 In the interest of public health all theaters, moving picture houses and dance halls have been closed and will remain so until the health authorities are convinced the influenza has been eliminated. Lodge meetings, together with all other public and private gath erings, are also prohibited during this period. Attendance at funerals is limited strictly to the immediate rela- tives of the deceased. The slightest infraction of any portion of the new law is punishable by fine of $500.
 Arrangements have been made for the complete isolation of the victims of the disease. No one is permitted to visit them under any pretext with the exception of the attendant nurse or physician. or to even enter a house in which a case is being treated. A corp of special deputies is patrolling the city to insure the observance of this order
 Recurrence of Disease.
 The procedure was made necessary in the opinion of the commissioners by the recurrence of the influenza epidemic which first broke out in the city last October. After the disease had practically died out in the com munity. a second wave struck the city, first making it's appearance about a week ago. In the course of the past few days more than 300 new cases have developed and the total is grow ing hourly. accompanied by a high mortality rate.
 All schools, both city and county, are closed, with the exception Of tine Phoenix Union High school The ad- visibility of terminating the semester was left to the discretion Of the vari- ous boards of education within the city, but was made mandatory in the county The trustees of the high school are inclined 10 believe that the sanitary measures which have been enforced in that institution will act as buffer for the disease and will continue the course Of study for the present at least

A Soldier S Return

Colonel John c. Greenway. who ar rived in New York last week from a field hospital in France, will be re- turning to Arizona shortly, he assured friends in telegrams from the east.
 Colonel Greenway, more than any other individual, set the pace in Ari- zona for preparedness for war. More than any other individual he looked forward to the certainty of America ultimately entering the great conflict and in every avenue within his reach compelled the crowding ahead of ev- cry single step that had bearing and that he could lay hands upon. When the time came, when war was de- clared. he set the pace in Arizona for the action he felt to be incum- bent upon all good Americans-the grasping of as full a part in aid of the allies as each individual could carry.
 From the platform. Colonel Green way told the public that such of it as could shoulder a gun to best advsnt- age should do so, and that such of it as could remain at home and accomp- fish more is getting out munitions and supplies, should do so. His part ing word to hundreds of miners who gathered to say good luck to Jack upon his going to the front, was: Get out the copper. boys; we are going to need it over there"

PHOENIX, ATiz., Jan. 9.-With no material changes made in minimum valuations for the ensuing year. the conference of assessors which has been in session here for the past three days, closed this afternoon. The State Assessors association is to meet later for the purpose of electing officers for 1919. and to outline the legislative changes to be recommend ed to the legislature.
 The final sessions were devoted in the main to hearing arguments in favor of lower valuations advanced by representatives of the Arizona Wool Growers association Arizona Cattle Growers association and the Merchants & Manufacturers assOcia- tion. In justification of their atti- tude; all stated that they were facing a declining market whose resultant loss to them would be approximately greater if they were not accorded lower valuations. Although there was no expression of opinion in the con vention it is said that this matter will be the subject of a measure which VIII DAGSChNCI Ab IlAN AN6
 In turn, the tax rate on land, i'm proved and unimproved mining prop erty. patented and unpatented. tim Der, autos and public utilities, was discussed After canyassing the sit uation thoroughly it was decided to allow the minimum valuations fixed last year to prevail.
 The organization of the legislative committee of the Assessors associa- ton is proceeding without delay. An unusual volume of proposed measures awaits the attention Of this sub-divi- sion composed Of c. F. Gentry, Pat Rose. J. T. Bone, F.. A. Hughes and Charles WOolfolk.
 The first matter that will come up for consideration will be a proposal to change the present method of dis tributing automobile license plates. An effort is being made to have these handled by the various county asses sors instead of by the secretary of state, as at present. The motive for this innovation is primarily the fact that it would facilitate the collection of the personal property tax As it is done at present. a great many car owners obtain their licenses from the 1 secretary of state and escape the assessor particularly where the ma chine is purchased just about the time the assessment roll is being pre- pareo
 Advocates of the new system also point cut thflt the plan proposed would relieve the office of the secre- tary of state of the burden imposed by the old system. While no expres- sion has been received from the off cial concerned, it is believed that this arrangement would prove most well come tU the secretary.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 9.-Never be fore in the history of Arizona polite. has there been so little surface inter est apparent in the organization of the two houses of the state legislature. With but four days more in which to perfect the final arrangements, the clans are just now beginning to gather for the purpose of selecting the men who will guide the progress of the two branches of the legislative assembly.
 The uncertainty which prevails among the faithful is more pro nounced in the house than Tn the sen ate. In the upper body there are three outstanding candidates who are con ceGed to have the neld practically to themselves, namely, A. A. Johns of Yayapai, D. H. Claridge of Granam, and Mulford Windsor of Yuma.
 Johns Leads in Race
 Of the three, Johns appears to have the better chance. His ability as a presiding officer was markedly demon strated during his tenure of office as speaker ot the house during the ses- sions of the third state legislature. He is now in the city conducting the campaign calculated to insure hls se- lection as presiding officer.
 His nearest rival, Claridge, is also on the ground studying the situation. While he has ventured no expression, t is assumed that he would not De averse to his reelection as president. and his supporters are booming him ioyally for the office. His candidacy is jeopardized to a certain extent by the fact that both J. H. Lines and A. c. Peterson of Graham county, are nominees tor the speakership or the house.
 Politicians predict that either Lines or Peterson will swing their support to Johns in the senate in return for the votes of the Yavapai delegation in the house. The Claridge element scoffs at this possibility and asserts that this procedure may be reversed to the detriment of the Prescott sen ator.
 Winsor Handicapped
 Winsor is handicapped by the sus- picion with which he is regarded by both the conservative and radical ele- ments. By the conservatives he is recognized as the leader of the Hunt faction. On the other hand it is said the southern man will receive but lit tie support from the Hunt wing due to his activities in behalf of Osborn in the recent campaign.
 These considerations are appraised at their face value by the Yuma sen ator. Wiring for reservations to To- cal hotel he stipulated that the rooms must have fire places as he was ex-

 Two Dark Horses Two other possible aspirants are causing some political uneasiness. Either Hugh Campbell of Coconino or Charles W. Hern0on of Mohave could make a strong race for the coveted honor, and 1t is said that their names are to De mentioned at the caucus scheduled to take place Sunday.
 There are more serious cOmplica- tions Tn the house. In addition to Lines and Peterson there are about seven other candidates for the speakers gayel. Among the number are three women, Mrs. Pauline M. ONeill, Mari copa5 Mrs. MInnie Heywar0, Cochise. and Mrs. hOsa Mchay, Glla, better known as the Wild Rose Of Cochise.' Mrs. O'Nelil, in spite or political diff fereHces, will proDably receive the support of the Marcopa delegation. The action of the republican delega- tion will, it is believed, allenate the sympathy Of the democratic represeu- tatives, however. Mrs. Rewards chances can not be estimated with the meagre information that is forthcom- ing on the subject while the reduotion or the power of the extremists win se- rlOusiy affect the prospects of Mrs. Mckay.
 Several Other Candidates
 Others mentioned prominently for the speakership are Wirt E. Bowman, Santa Cruz; Charles T. Francis, Co chise; T. P. Howard Gila, and Harry jennings. Cochise.
