 ! The job requires man who is su fixed in his business and financial affairs that he can drop everything
 at home and scud over to Washing
 ton at call. This fact eliminates some of those whose names have
 been most prominently suggested. Members of the party whose intercs, has been to keep it abreast of mod ,ern times and advanced political 1 thought, advocate recognition of the general principle that in party organ Iizatlon, Poweer must ascend from She bottom, rather than descend from
 the top, which was the theory under the rule of bosses, who left the party wreck in 1912.
 An agument to back up the conten- ton that the wishes of the rank and file must be recognized is advanced
 to meet the slur of the opposition that the presidential candidate in the late lamented election, was a ma chine man. The lesson of 1912 on
 the republican slate and that of 1920, so forcibly impressed upon the demo- cratic party with regard to the fate tof too highly centralized authority is regarded as a certain deterrent to those of the republican party who see in the sudden and general eleva- .tion of their forces to power, an op- portunity and an excuse ito shout with the old time democrat, "To the
 victor belongs the spills"

FUNDAMENTAL FAULT OF
 DEFEATED ROAD BILL
(From Wednesdays Daily)
Especial to The Journal-Miner)

1 (SpeClal 10 Inc JOurnaI-MlnerJ
 PHOENIX, Nov. 9.-Defeat of the highway commission bill, strongly advocated by Maricopa county and many influential and wise leaders here is due to the fact that the people of Arizona are becoming weary of the incessant clamor for "commis- sion form of government in state management.
 This is tn opoinion of supporter of the bill, who saw Tn 1t but the one objection-a strong one-that it was wrongly founded in this respect.
 The game commission bill was also least out. If the actual wisdom of the great mass of the voters could be consulted, some of the commits sions and boards now inteertwined with state offices would be abolished and the power and responsibility given to elective officers. The sys- whereby Governor Frank o. Low den of Illinois eliminated over l25 members of various commissions, centered the work in less than a dog en executive hands and obtained both economy and efficiency of aG- has found many sup porters in Arizona
 The argument that board of five
Weekly journal-miner., 1920-11-17

men from five districts, to handle highway policy would eliminate "pol- itics" from the administration, is re- garded as fallacious by those who have watched other commissions qt work, trading and patching SO tha, the old disjointed policies remained in force.
 Why, then, is it sought to create five offices that will pay themselves minimum of $2OOO a year or S1O0OO in tic aggregate, to do that which is now done by an office, that woeful- ly underpaid at $3OOO year, actually formulates a policy and also sees to its execution, the man asks. Just as many engineers, just as many as sistants, the same number of clerks, will be required under the commis- sion form of highway administration, as are needed now. The appoint ment of five men to do the work of the highway engineer in selecting road sites, will not do away with the need of an engineer to do the actual engineering administration.
 Whatever might have been argu- ments in favor of a state game com they can only be of academ- ic interest now but it is pointed out for the benefit of those who will be on hand two years hence or at the coming legislative session with sim liar bills, that the temper of the electors is reused against more com missions.

WIND RED TAPE TO
 REACH CHINA AND BRIDE
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

i From Wednesdays Daily)
 Dea Wing Tan is going to get married.
 Ordinarily that intention would re- Iquire merely the payment of g to
 the clerk of the court for a mar iriage license and a few minutes cer- |emony before minister or magis-
 tratc. But in the case of Dea Wing Tan. itinvolves a great going through red tape and not iufrequent fleeing of
 officials.
 In the first place, the bride that
 Dea Wing Tan aims to make his town lives in China. Hence, it is necessary that he proceed there and
 claim her after customs both ancient and intricate. But in the Chinese
 marriage ceremony is nothing more
 intricate than the movements made necessary by American passport reg ulations.
 Tan is going to be accompanied to Ithe old country by his father, Dea Me Get. So, each step in the pro Icess of obtaining proper chock-gees and viscs cn the passports, is
 doubled. First they had to secure the o. K. of the Chinese immigra- ton inspector at Phoenix. Then it was necessary to secure proofs that the two travellers were square with the United States government on ithcir income tax.
 These things done, they next had to file their papers with the clerk Of the court and secure passports which must go to Washington for official signatures. In a matter of 10 days
 or two weeks, they will be ready to depart for San Francisco, from
 which port they will sail for China and the wedding bells.
 The two Chinese are father and son. Dad was born in San Francis
 co. but son first saw the light of day lin China. There is one complica- ton. On the other hand, Son served
 the American government as a sol
 dier in the war, and this helps him, proves his citizenship, which was al ready established by his fathers early naturalization.
 Both the Chinese own restaurants it Jerome. Before coming here to secure papers to permit them to leave the United States, they had state- mcnts drawn up showing the finan- cal details of their respective busi- nesses, proving that they had been well advised before they embarked on the enterprise.

sion, called by the new president
 soon after his inauguration nex,
 March. This session will last a long time, and may even run into the reg jular December session of congress, 1921. At this special session all the
 vast reconstruction problems of the inew administration will have to be considered and solved, and it will take months to do that The last session of congress did not really
 have time to grappIe with reconstruc- ton problems and neither will the December session. Reconstruction
 will be effected in the special ses-
 sion of the new congress. These problems are as gigantic and i'm portant as those which confronted the federal government at the begin ming of the world war
 Though the December session will not have time to take up t.c prob ilems of government. nevertheless
 there are two matters of legislation besides the appropriation b.ils, which
 that session will cndeavor to put
 through. One of them is revision of the tax laws, and some sort of relief
 from the housing situation, which has grown serious in nearly every
 urban community in the whole
 country.
 An effort will b emade in Decem-
 Der to completely revise the income
 tax laws, but because of the lack of time in that session, it is doubtful
 if any new tax bill can be enacted into law. Both democratic and re- publican leaders are very anxious to
 have the tax laws, particularly the income tax, revised from top to bot
 tom. Needless 10 say, every citizen concurs in this desire, for the income tax, it cannot be denied, presses heavily upon rich and poor alike. Tn the December session Secretary Houston will ask congress to make the new law simpler than the pres ent cumbersome statute. One of the most important recommendation of MBr Houston will be that the com missioner of internal revenue be to make final determina- lions in any tax assessment. Under { the present law tax case can be | open time and time again until the ! tax payer never knows when he is with litigation with the treasury. But a lowering of the whole income tax schedule is what is now desired by congressman and citizens alike. There are also many in the present income .ax law, as happens unusually in all il and new statutes, and hese must be ironed out In the 'evisiOn, house and senate leaders ire said to plan not only a general in all schedules, but ,hanges so that big incomes will pear a proportionateiy larger share ,f the tax. The little fellow" will lot have to pay as much as hereto ore This will indeed be popular cgislation with the masses.
 The housing situation will also be 5onsidered by the December ses- ion Shortage of homes in every ection of the land, except in the ru al districts, is almost as serious as he lax burden and tne high cost of

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-The next session of congress, which meets December 6, and which will be the last and third session of the siXty-siXth congress, will last only until the inauguration of the new president, March I, next. when the session will expire by limitation of law. Including the Christmas holi- days, which nearly always last 10 days, the next session will have less than 70 working days. It will readily be seen from this limited time that the December session will not De able to enact much legislation. It will do well to pass the 14 big an nual appropriation bills, and ad- journ in time for the presidential m auguration.
 There is another thing, besides lack of time, which will prevent much, if any, new legislation in the December session. As new con gresS and new president will take the helm after March 4, there will be general lesire on the part of all to defer important leg islation until the new president makes his desires known, and until the new members of congress, of which there will be many, can par ticipate in national legislation.
