The TTaiI of q Comet.
*~~ ******

7
 What do you think Is in the tail of q comet? Is 1t poisonous gas, or is it any kind of gas? I for one do not think there Is any gas of any kind in the tail of a comet, though there may be plenty of gas in the body. However, as l am no astronomer, may be mistaken. My idea is that the tail is nothing more nor less than the reflection of light from a central part of the comet, similar to the re- flection or shaft of light as 1t is seen when a search light is turned on to pierce the darkness. Of course, the comet is much larger and more pow erful, hence 1t makes a slight differ ence in the looks. 1 think that the comet or some of them never get so far away from the earth but that they could be seen at any and all times if they did not turn their flash light away from the direction of the earth. Their motion around their orbits causes the light to be turned directly away from the earth for a term of years or else the light is gradually snuffed out and leaves nothing but darkness for us to look at, hence we cannot see it. Now, of course, my idea may seem foolish to some peo- pie, and as l said before, I may be badly mistaken. None of the great astronomers has proved that there is any gas in the tail of comet, though some of them would have us believe that they thought 1t was poisonous gas of some kind. 1 don't believe there is one among the whole bunch of astronomers that really believes ii is composed of poisonous or any other kind of gas, but they just put 1t up that way to cause a sensation and make us think they know.
 And as the world moves on
 And We remain here,
 Something's to me
 Don't seem quite clear.
 Why some get by
 With so much ease,
 While others have
 Such a very hard time,
 With trouble and sorrow
 To plague their mind,
 And can't do things
 Just as they please.

COUNTY MAY FORM
 ROAD CHAIN GANG

Plans are being considered by the
 board of supervisors for the organi-
 zation of a road gang to clean up the county roads. The gang will consist of prisoners who have been sentenced to serve time in the county jail at hard labor. Many of the county roads, the supervisors said. have mesquite bushes and weeds growing along the sides and if the plan is car Tried out, the prisoners will be put to work removing the growth from the roads as well as working the road beds.
 The board Is now considering a plan 1 of putting the prisoners to work dig I ging a ditch from the south side of lthe county farm to the river bed. a distance of a half mile, to drain the
 county farm At present the super visors said, the county farm is water logged and they think a large drain age ditch from the south side to the river with tributary ditches dug at l intervals over the farm will relieve the situation
 Prisoners who have been sentenced
 to hard labor first will be put to
 work digging this ditch, should the board decide to inaugurate the plan l Prisoners who are not sentenced to hard labor can work in the gang and get credit for two days on their sen itence for each day they work Sher- if Montgomery is in favor of the plan.

COCA COLA COMPANY
 WINS FEDERAL CASE

The celebrated case of tho Coca Cola company vs the Koke Company of America. the Southern Koke com pany. Ltd. the Koke Company of Texas. the Koke Company of okla homa and the Koke Company of Ar kansas. which was tried in the United States district court for Ari- xona about five years ago. reached final conclusion yesterday when. in accordance with the mandate of the supreme court of the United States. Judge Sawteile signed and filed his final decree.
 The contention of the Coca Cola company was that the defendant companies were infringing its trade mark and were guilty of unfair trade in the use of the word koke and in representing their product as the genuine Coca Cola. the word ~koke- having become a nickname for Coca Cola all over the country Judge Sawtcile. United States district judge for Arizona. decided the case in favor of the Coca Cola company and his decision has now been upheld and affirmed by the supreme court of the United States. Joseph F. Morrison represented the Coca Cola company and Judge Richard F. Sloan the koke companies

of this so-called referendum petition which has been filed against House Bill S3.
 "The power to make laws is an in herent power of the legislature. But the power to propose an amendment to the state constitution is a power specifically delegated to the legis-- lature by the constitution itself. It is ministerial power. It is not a legislative power.
 Now, the power of referendum which lies with the people can be directed only against legislative acts of the legislature. It cannot be direct ed against a ministerial act of the legislature The action of the legis- lature in proposing an amendment to the constitution being ministerial act, authorized by specific minis terial power delegated to it by the constitution, how could you invoke referendum petition against it when it is plainly stated that the referendum can be invoked against only legis- lative acts of the legislature?
 aThere is no doubt in my mind but that the attempt to refer House Bill S3 by a referendum petition is futile. There are many cases which arose in states where the referendum is an ln- Hstitution of government, directly in point with the situation we have here in Arizona right now The supreme court of the United States itself has held that the referendum cannot be invoked against ministerial power Of the legislature

BUSINESS VALUE IF
 ADVERTISING TOPIC
 1T M. & M. MEETING

Advertising, its practical and com
 mon sense application as a vital fac
 tor to business of the firm or indi-
 vidual. was the theme of an address
 by Captain L. A. Weiss of the Hyatt
 advertising agency, who was the
 principal speaker at the monthly
 membership meeting of the Mer- |chants and Manufacturers association yesterday at the Y. NJ. c. A The greatest value of the discus sion rested in the helpful thought and advice of real value contained in the address of Captain Weiss. who han | dled his subict Tn a broad manner which evidenced intimate acquain- tance and thorough study. It was educational and was listened to with close attention by all the members
 Consistent advertising. with a con tinuity, in mediums of generally recognized value and the elimination of the miscellaneous so-called .ad- vertising schemes" was urged by the speaker. That the merchants of Phoenix spent $100.o00 last year on the worthless schemes of transient salesmen was the statement of Cap tain Weiss
 Wallace Button the new president, was in charge of the meeting He was given an ovation when he took 1 the chair.
 George Mickle. the new vice -presi- dent, and A. H. Marshall called at tention of the membership to the
 several district grocery stores that
 remain open Sundays. The members 1 present placed themselves on record
 as believing that these grocery stores should close on Sundays in fairness 1 to the general practice of similar business institutions which do close
 on Sundays, giving all employees . days rest.

RULING ON BILL 83 ,PET|T|ON CAUSE IF
 MUCH CONJECTURE

With the request of the secretary of state. Ernest Hall, for an opinion from the attorney general as to the validity of the referendum petition filed against a section of House Bill SS, considerable conjecture is being indulged in as to how the attorney general will rule
 A number of reasons are assigned &<0Ause why the attempt to kill 1z se bill B by referendum petition cddild not be sustained in any court. Probably one of the most convincing arguments heard on this quiestion is one made by local attorney of high otanding as man of keen judgment and well grounded in the principles of law.
 "f you will stop to consider for a minute," said this attorney, that the legislature is invested with certain inherent powers and also has certain powers delegated to if by the state constitution, then you will be able to get some true light on the real worth
