CONSTITUTION MAY
 HINDER. BONUS ACT

Constitutional limitations are said by capitol authorities to stand in the way of Attorney General Wiley F.. Jones' recent suggestion to the gov ernor that an opportunity be afforded at the coming special session of the legislature to pass a measure provid ing means to pay bonuses to the world war men of Arizona.
 The suggestion followed in the wake of reports that two eastern states were floating bond issues of $20. .0OO.0 900 each with which to pay bonuses to world war men originating from those states
 It is claimed that there is no chance fer raising money here by bond issue because of the provisions in section ,, article g, of the state constitution, which provides that the bonded in debtedness shall not exceed S350,000 excepting for extreme measures such as the defense of the state from ene- mics or from the elements. The bond ed indebtedness is said to exceed the limit now by about S50O00, as the re- suit Of territorial acts.
 Section ' of article 9, of the consti- tuition provides that no donations or grants shall be made to any individual.
 Making answer in part to the many suggestions of leading democrats who are eager to help Governor Campbell run the administration, a leading re- publican at the capitol Saturday stated that he considered it ridiculous for the state to be accepting federal road aid from the government while furnishing the government with the means for finishing up the war. The republican served overseas and states that he objects to having a price put upon his patriotism.

COTTON RATES ARE DISCRIMINATORY, HE
 TELLS COMMISSION

Cotton rates between the east and
 all points west of Fl Paso are unfair
 and discriminatory, according to the claims of T. D. Cashel, who presented
 evidence to the interstate commerce commission here Saturday on behalf of the state corporation commission, Cashel appearing in the capacity of consulting rate expert for the com mission.
 In support of his claims he showed the commission that cotton rates east ward from all points east of Fl Paso are graduated in proportion to the mileage involved, while west of Fl Paso the rate is the same for any point be- tween Fl Paso. Texas, and Fresno, Cal ifornia including Phoenix, only 45o miles from Fl Paso.
 Until the first of the year the cotton rate from Phoenix was s2.ss. at which time the railroad companies volun tarily reduced it to s1.1s12. but Cashei holds that a fair rate for Phoenix would be $1.62
 The hearing opened Friday with Ex- aminer F. c. Hillyer presiding, and closed Saturday. when the examiner ordered that all briefs be filed by February g, 1920. Commissioners F. A. Jones, representing the state cor poration commission. reserved the right to present oral argument before the interstate commerce commission at The hearing was called at the instance of the Southwest Cot ton company, with the state corpora ton commission and the Phoenix chamber of commerce appearing as in 
 Some surprising facts were brought out at the hearing, as a result of the railroad companies claim that Phoenix was making lots of money and could afford to pay accordingly to help out the poor railroads that are conduct ing such a losing game.
 Cashel produced statistics to show that no railroads around Phoenix were osing anything, his statistics bringing put the fact that the railroads here were making tremendous profits even while under the handicap of govern 1 nent control. He showed that among i he western lines the inter mountain | 'oads were spending 55 cents to make | | dollar, the southwest roads were | spending 70 cents to make dollar and | hauling cotton for less. the. western | ranscontinental roads were spending ;0 cents to make a dollar, and the | western prairie roads were spending | ;6 cents to make dollar. His fig ires created sensation at the hear ng and were bounced upon by Com missioner Jones for future use in many 1 ,ther cases

 VICTORY BUTTONS

Victory buttons to be worn in the lapel of civilian clothes. are soon to be issued by the United States ma rine corps to all men who served in the corps from April 6, 1917. to No venlber II, 1918, according to a state ment just issued at the marine corps recruiting office, B East Washington street
 The button is of the standard de- sign adopted for all branches of the service, bronze for all men except those who were wounded, who will re- ceiye silver buttons. These buttons are not to be confused with the ma rine corps discharge buttons, which ere issued to all men of the marine corps and marine corps reserve upon honorable discharge from the service
 Men who desire Victory buttons should apply with their discharge pa pers to the nearest marine barracks or recruiting station so that their ap- plicatfons may be forwarded to head quarters.

THREE [. DELEGATION WILL HAVE CHANCE TO ]. TELL THE GOVERNOR

Whatever it is that the Big Three G's" contingent wants at that coming special session of the legislature, as intimated in Saturdays issue of The Republican, an opportunity to tell Gov ernor Thomas l.. Campbell all about it will be available on January 2S as requested, according to an announce ment yesterday by P. R. Mines, sec retary to the governor.
 The Big Three G's" contingent. representing highway commissions and supervisors from Graham, Green lee and Gila counties, are supposed to have i'll mind some proposal for legis- iation at the coming session in con- nection with the state highway now built or building from Franklin and Clifton on the eastern border to Phoe nix by way of Stafford, San Carlos, Superior, Globe and Mesa.
 Engineering authorities hold that the existing arrangements for the Franklin to Phoenix highway include provision for all needed funds and other features, and that any business with the special session can be eX- pected to include some proposal for continuing the highway westward from Phoenix to some western border point such as Parker. or Ehren berg, thereby attaining a complete trans state highway.
 The original plans for a trans-state highway via the built or building state highway from Rodeo through Tomb stone and Tucson to Phoenix recently sustained a severe setback when Yuma county failed to cooperate in the plans At present the state has two highways. built or building, eastward from Phoenix to separate points on the states eastern border, but no state highways exist or are provided for westward from Phoenix to the western border.
 Highway enthusiasts are waiting ca gerly for particulars on the plans of the Big Three Gs contingent. it being expected that the plans will be made known after the governors meeting here on January 2S.
