Power and Responsibility

The board of directors of the state institutions for the creation Of which bin is in the senate would leave 10 the governor the control Of those in stitutions That of course. is where the control should be- is for the control Of them that the governor is elected by the people.
 Some politicians. and politicians are notoriousy short sighted. favored a board composed of ma iorty of elective officers who in this case. would be Of party opposed to that Of the governor Such 8 board would bc a reversal Of the will of the people as expressed last November
 Tho people are not politicians and they care less for party politics than they formerly did. They have had little cause for pride in party triumphs in the past and we think they would resent interference with the functions of the governor as they under stood them to bc at the time of his election.
 We have now the pending bin for the creation of a highway commission, in which it is proposed to depart from the usual method Of creating commits sions: to deprive the governor of his power over most important piece of work.
 It is said that the governor. if left to the commission in the ordinary way. might make of his power for party purposes. Therefore, it is pro- posed to transfer this power 10 an opposite party
 As to the the governor might make of it. we think hc would be influenced by the responsibn ity which would be placed upon him; whereas, state highway board formed it is proposed create ,his one. would have the same incentive to sub ordinate politics efficiency It's responsibility would be a vague and tenuous affair distributed among the board the commission it would appoint and the state engineer Co be appointed by the commission. There would be a frittering away of all responsibility, though in the popular mind the governor rendered helpless by this proposed legislation, would still be held responsible.
 better plan than that proposed in the bill would be the so-caled alternative plan for the appointment of commission by the governor the president of the and the speaker of the house. That would bc a sufficient guaranty that the democrats would suffer improper by the governor of power and believe that those officials of the legislature would feel such of their responsibility that their power would be used for political purposes
 The best plan of all because it would keep tive authority where it belongs would be follow the established practice in naming commissions, that is in making appointments.
 Whatever it may be feared the governor might do is h not 10 be suspected that the playing of poll ties with respect 10 good roads construction is al- ready in progress in the legislature?

MILKY EXPLAINS LIQUOR COULD NOT
 BE SOLD AS SAID

In a story yesterday morning of the arrest of D. B. Driskill by the federal authorities on the charge of bringing intoxicating liquors into the state it was incidentally mentioned that there had been rumors of the sale If liquor hy persons connected with the sheriff office at the time Driskill was a dep- uty.
 Former Sheriff Wilkey stated last night that nothing of that kind could have occurred for continually during the last IS months before his retire. ment from office he carried the key to the room where the confiscated liquor was stored, and no deputy had access to it.
 There was no thought of reflec- ton upon Mir. Wilkey in the statement re~arding the rumor There is no one who knows him that would suspect for moment that any such transaction could have been carried on with his knowledge. In the course of the bitter primary campaign last fall when this rumor was afloat no attention was giv- en 1t so far as MT. Wilkey was con- cerned, and any who were inclined to believe could only believe that if such dsils were made the liquor so disposed Of had never been reported to the sher- fir.

that he might be level with his co-laborer abroad
 Well hardly Notice has already been served by the labor leaders that there shall be no lowering of wages and recession from the Ameri- can workmans standard of living. So in order to attain a realization of Mir. Barnes dream the stand ard everywhere else be brought fully up to the American standard
 Now is that be done? A clause in the covenant of a league of nations do it. Noth ing can do it except equal opportunity for all men; equal accessibility to markets equal advantage the matter of material and equal efficiency of laborers and factories everywhere We would still need something the absolute absence of selfishness and spirit of competition everywhere. An embargo here and there would relieve temporary inequalities It would enable struggling industries to get a start, but an embargo in a league of nations would be thing anomalous. and if developed would amount to barring away every member of the league from every other member.
 competition in labor for efficiency may result in an approximate standardization but not in a plete standardization. All the edicts that all the altruisic governments in the world issue will not affect subject unless they should decide form a United States of the whole world.

4 Plain Duty

It is difficult 10 understand the opposition that developed in the house yesterday to the Galbraith anti-syndcausm bill Three arguments were offered against it. one was, that the crimes defined in the bin are already covered by the penal statutes It is true, that there is anti-sabotage act, but the legislature has the opinion of the attorney generals office that in the circumstances in which it was passed it unconstitutional It is also true that have general laws against physical violence and the destruction of property all crimes included in sabotage but have not the means for the prose- cution of those who incite crimes encourage them and place to some extent the opinion of a class behind them. They usually solitary crimes.
 It is argued that the Galbraith act is unneces- sary. Against that have had of sabotage in the agricultural and the mining regions. In fact a year ago they quite common.
 Another argument was that this legislation this time would be d firc-brand in the face of labor that it would be a slap labor. Whatever the oppo- nents of the act may think about it. have bet ter opinion of labor than that If were affiliated with organized labor would resent and repudiate any such argument as that.
 We think that most of those who opposed the bill did honestly but misguidedy, but we also think that who did so were actuaed by resentment of the blow the bill aims at l. W W.ism.
 The bin places restrictions upon the speech actions of any law-abding citizen organization It is affront to any unless he cherishes a sneaking sympathy with those who commit such crimes.
 We do not think Arizona can afford to let the word go out that legislature unwilling afraid to enact law for the punishment of crimes peculiar the l. w. W. It is already pretty well ad- vertised and unjusty now. that this state is an asylum for the l. ". W.

The Rainbow

There is no spectacle in this world more beaut- ful than the rainbow and none more eyanescent. People of an centuries have been chasing ranbows but no one has yet grasped Likewise there has been equally wild chase after ideals of which have been attained, but others, intangible the rainbow still at large and will probably remain SO until the end of time.
 All this is predatory to a few observations on the words of George Nicos Barnes, a British labor leader who in the article relating to labor in the covenant of the league of nations standardza- ton of labor conditions and wages throughout the world. an end of tariff for protection
 No doubt if there could be such a standardiza- ton ono Of the many reasons why have adopted protective tariffs would be elminated-cheap labor Admitting that such thing is possible; that labor In Great Britain, the United States Italy and Japan could be put upon the plane. there would stiu remain other reasons why nation should desire 10 preserve its dominance in this that industry in which it enjoys peculiar advantages. Or it will want protection to build up another industry in which it Is at natural disadvantage.
 There is no other excuse for a protective tariff which is the most unjust form Of taxation that man has devised Great Britain was the home of free trade All conditions there for many years made free trade especially desirable Labor was cheap and raw material was gathered 10 the British factories from every part of the far-flung domnions But be- Tore the war there strong in Great Britain toward protection. Its control Of many industries bad been loosened and American and German goods offered serious competition on British soil-because of the greater efficiency of American and German factories. Even Great Britain has declared an embargo against many kinds of foreign goods An embargo is in effect the same as a very high protec tive tariff except that t is divested of tho intentions tax feature.
 The fruition Of the hopes of Mr. Barnes rests purely upon state of absolute altruisn perfect Inter standardization in which the people of every country will take the people of every other less favor ably situated country by the hand and either lift them up Co the more favored level or else they will descend and meet them lower level There will De no competition in industry commerce: an Amer ican factory would any advantage which a British. French Japanese factory does not have The American workneman drawing g. or ss a day would become conscience stricken and would demand r1 hreat of strike lower wage scale in order

GETSNDTHINC FROM
 S26,500 DAMAGE SUIT

After deliberating two hours, a jury in Judge Lyman's court returned a verdict for the defendant in the s26,000 damage suit of James Underwood versus the Southwest Cotton company.
 It is understood that at one time the cotton company agreed 10 settle for between S3000 and $4000 on the condi- ton that the attorneys accept q few hundred dollars for their fee and the greater part of the amount go to the injured man.
 Underwood. who is an elderly man. was seriously hurt in "n accident which occurred on public highway between Avondale and Central. Driv- ing his team through an excavation concealed by loose earth he was thrown from his seat and struck with the iron billings that made up his load. He attempted to prove that the road had been dragged by the company, while the defense claimed it was a public highway over which it had no control
 C. D. Jamison and l.. T. Holzworth represented the plaintiff and G. P. Nevitt the defendant.

VERDE RIVER DAM MEN TAKE UP PLAN
 WITH GOVERNMENT

Negotiations with the government to secure permission 10 build the con- templated horseshoe dam on the Verde river are being made by Judge Richard E. Sloan and Hugh Marshall, repre- sentatives of the owners of dry lands within the project who will be most benefited by the dam. and Francis M. Wilkinson, president, and John Gust, legal advisor, of the Water Users as sociation. These men are now confer ring with Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane. at Washington.
 The ranchers on the dry lands, which have no permanent water rights, must needs find some method of getting wa ter other than from the Roosevelt dam, which is deemed insufficient to fur nish water all the time to the lands in question. The Verde river project. it is declared. will solve the problem and give these ranchers the water they need for the proper development of their ranches
 Judge Richard F. Sloan has repre- sented for some time the owners of the dry lands, and Hugh Marshall Of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, is also representing the business men Of the valley at the conference.
 Tt Is the expectation of the presl-
 dent and the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- ciation,' said Secretary Charles Van der Neer. yesterday. that the question
 of who shall build the horseshoe dam on the Verde will be definitely settled and it will result in the bringing of the dry lands under permanent culti- vation and restoring them to regular standing in the association"
 Opposition to the plans of the Wa ter Users association is being made by the Paradise Verde project, an or ganization of local business men. whc
 claim the right to the flow of the Verde river. The plan of the Paradise Verde i organization is to build two storage dams on the river with diversion dan | just above its junction with the Sal i river. This course it is believed, vii ! suffice to irrigate 175,000 acres oi 1 land in Deer valley and Paradise val | ley.
