REFERENDUM FAILS ON
 LAND-LEASING LAW

All laws enacted by the last legis' lature, except those against which the referendum has been invoked, become effective June 12. Last Friday after noon no referendum petition had been completed, though it was stated that there was no doubt that the full peti- tion would be filed against House Bill 60, the measure amending the lanl code.
 It is by no means certain that a petition was necessary to prevent the operation of that act, and it is equal ly uncertain whether a petition will prevent it's operation. All this is something for the courts to decide.
 House Bill 60 is an emergency measure and as such it would not or dinarily be subject to attack by refer endum. But it was one of the meas ures which Governor Campbell, after the adjournment of the session, sent to the secretary of state without rec ommendation. Those invoking the referendum believe that the act is therefore not valid, but they are talk ing a precaution. On the other hand, the friends of the act believe that it became effective the moment it was placed in the hands of the secretary of state, and that its status can not be affected by referendum.
 Another petition is in circulation against House Bill 26, now popularly known as the "bootleggers' relief bill" relating to the preliminary examina- tion before justices of the peace of all persons charged with violating the prohibition law.
 Representative Charles T. Francis, of Cochise County, arrived in Phoenix last Friday and immediately got busy with inquiries concerning the filing of petitions and it is supposed that he was especially interested against the law relating to the automobile license tax which provides that one may not be granted a license until he has paid the state and county tax on his car.

TWO WILCOX GIRLS HELD
 BY LOS ANGELES POLICE

LOS ANGELES, June 16.-Drawn to this city, they said, by the pros poets of securing work from some moving picture producer, Miss Gladys Calfee and Miss Anna Katchersid, both of Wilcox, Arizona, were taken into custody at railroad station here and placed in juvenile hall today
 Miss Calfee, who is 16 years old, according to her step-father, F. H. Bathews, secured clothes valued at several hundred dollars by charging them to his account at Wilcox stores, and then ran away. Upon arriving here, Miss Calfee wrote to Miss Anna Ketchersid and urged her to come here, it is said. It was through this letter that Wilcox officers traced the young women. The girls will be held until the arrival of Wilcox officers.

MANY AMERICANS ARE
 KILLED BY YAQUIS

At least two Americans and thirty Mexicans have been killed by Yaquis and bandits in the La Colorado dis trict of Sonora, Mexico, during the past two weeks, according to the statement of nine American mining men who have arrived at Nogales from that neighborhood. The party of Americans, whose homes are in Arizona, Colorado and California, have sent the following statement to the state department at Washington, with copies to Senators C. S. Thomas of Colorado, Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia, and Marcus Smith and Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona.
 "Why should Yaqui Indians be given safe harbor in the United States schools for their children and then be allowed to bring back ammunition to Mexico from the United States and kill and pillage American citizens? It is current talk that ammunition is sold direct to Yaqui Indians coming and going from Arizona; also that the Papago Indians in the neighbor- hood of Indians Oasis, southwest of Tucson, also are furnishing ammuni- ton to Yaquis. Can not some pres sure be brought to bear on the Yaquis of Arizona that will have the effect of stopping the murder of Americans in Sonora, Mexico? Are the Yaquis not at war with the United States, the same as Germany, with their killing and pillaging of Americans?"

BURLESON IS SLIPPING
 FROM UNDER THE WIRES

What does Postmaster Burleson mean by announcing on Thursday that he had turned the actual operation of the telegraph and telephone compa- nies back to their owners and an nouncing on Friday that his order had been misconstrued and that the gov ernment still controls the lines?
 Was it MT. Burleson's idea to "pass the buck" to the private owners of the telegraph and telephone compa- nies on the eve of what threatens to be strike on the telegraph lines?
 It begins to look as if, in order to play safe and avoid the responsibility of having a strike of government em- ployees on his hands, Mir. Burleson simply turns "the operation of the telegraph lines over to the owners, leaving them to handle the threatened strike as best they can. Having ere ated a bad condition, Mir. Burleson proposes to stand from under.
 Reports from Washington Thurs day indicated clearly "return of the lines to the private owners" for Mir. Burleson said:
 "The president having recommend ed the return of the wire systems and the control of the owning companies, etc, I feel it my duty to now return the actual control of op- erations to the companies"
 The reason given is the presidents recommendation for a return of the wire systems, land the control of the owning companies" while MT. Burle- son said in his circular: "I feel it my duty to return the actual control of operations to the companies"
 The whole country now reads in the Washington dispatches that MT. Bur leson did not surrender control of the wire lines, but only the operations" of the lines. Therefore today the gov ernment controls the companies and the lines, but has nothing to do with the operation-a curious and anoma- lous situation.
 The government has lost million dollars in the operation of the tele- phone and telegraph companies in less than one year. What is worse, the service has deteriorated and many quarrels with labor have been encoun- tered. The governments experience has been unsatisfactory to all con- cerned and the public is anxious for a return to private operation and own- ership. Moreover, the public is not pleased at the prospect of the Burle- son rates continuing until Congress repeals the act turning the wire lines over to the government.
 The situation is somewhat compli- cated and may give rise to serious trouble, if not litigation, unless Con gress acts promptly and removes the government from all responsibility by the act of July IS, 1918.

TO REORGANIZE NATIONAL
 GUARD ON FIRM BASIS

When the new National Guard is organized, according to reports from Washington, it is to be real Ma tional Guard and not purely a state militia as in the past, a plan which nearly all military men approve.
 In the past it has been the prac- tice for each state to try to keep up a few companies of each arm of the service-infantry, cavalry, field artil- lery, heavy artillery, and other divi- sions.
 Hereafter, it is reported, each state will be called upon to furnish her pro portion of the types of service for which her sons have shown the great est adaptability in the great war.
 A much larger share of equipment is to be furnished by the government that in former years, in fact, enough equipment for the ordinary strength of the organizations will probably be furnished, which material and equip ment will include horses and artillery.
 Arizona's Share
 Although no official announcement has been made from Washington in the matter, it is understood that Ari- zOna's share in the new National Guard, for the present at least, will be three troops of cavalry of 65 men each, and one battery of field artil- lery, in number about 100 men.
 The reason for this is the fact that Arizona men proved to be the finest artillerymen in France with the A. E.. F. From the beginning they fought like veterans, with an accuracy un- paralleled in their shooting. It just seemed to come natural to them to shoot and shoot straight.
 As to cavalry, Arizona has the fin- est material for cavalry in the world; numerous veterans of that same artil- lery, thousands of cowmen and range riders--some cavalry material.-- The Phoenix Republican.

ARIZONA WAR RECORD
 IS SECOND TO NONE

Arizona, the baby state of the Union, lead the list of states in the matter of human contributions to the great world war.
 According to official military rec ords, at least one out of every three Arizona men eligible for active mili- tary service in the war either were in France or in training for overseas duty when the war closed. The per centage was really more than that, says a Phoenix paper, because hun dreds of men from this state, men above the first draft age, entered the service at the outbreak of hostilities while many youths under the first draft age likewise entered the service before they were obliged to register under the selective service regulations.
 Official figures secured from the of flee of the adjutant general show that a total of 94,310 Arizoa men register ed under the first and second selective service regulations. Of this number, 37,609 were aliens, under the regula- tions, and were not qualified to serve under the draft. They could volun- teer, but they could not be drafted.
 Deducting the number of alien reg istrants from the grand total, leaves 56,701 men who were subject to the draft. But of this number it must be remembered that there were thous- ands of sick who could not qualify.
 Military statistics in Arizona dis close that approximately 25 out of 100 men physically examined were unfit for service in any capacity. Using this as an average, there would be approximately 15,000 out of the 56,701 registrants who could not possibly serve. This leaves about Al ,000 men qualified to serve in the great na- tional army and the navy, with their allied branches.
 Statistics show that at the time of the close of the war, Arizona had II LAO sons in the Service. But there were in reality several hundred more than that--probably one or two thous and more.
 Of the grand total, 8,113 were members of the great national army. The regular army was third in the list, 465 Arizona men choosing that branch of the service as their war work. En- listed reserves from this state totaled 438; marine corps members totaled just TIA.
 The national guard of Arizona had 951 members when it was admitted to federal service August 5, 1917.
 The navy proved the most attractive of the volunteer service, 1,269 men from this state aiding Uncle Sam in putting them safely across.".
 June 5, 1917, the date of the first national registration, 38,308 Arizona men offifficially notified Uncle Sam that they "were ready"
 Two registrations were held in the middle of 1918 for boys who attained their majority during the year. The first was held in June and the second in August and the total registrants for the two was 2,209.
 The second great registration was held September 12, 1918, for all men between the ages of Is and 45. On this date s53,793 Arizona men quail fled for the draft.

FLAGSTAF WINS BALL
 GAME FROM WINSLOW

There was very enjoyable game of ball at the Driving Park Sunday afternoon between the Winslow and Flagstaff teams. It was tight fit up to the eighth inning, when the score stool 1 to 1. Then something happened, and up went the old ball game as far as Winslow was con- cerned, and it wound up with Flag stoff 13 to Winslow 6.
 Lowry, the long, lank, lean young man who did the hand grenading for the Flagstaff team, never went into low once, and, as young lady re- marked, "threw the ball so peculiarly that it was difficult for his opponents to strike it with the stick"
