CHANGES in LIBEL
LAW PROPOSED BY
MARICOPA SENATOR

Two important changes in the libel
law as affecting publication of libel
Gus statements in newspapers were
presented in the senate late Friday
by Senator Phillips of Maricopa un-
der suspension of the rules. One fixes
the venue of actions, and the other
limits the jurisdiction to the county
of the state in which the newspaper
is published.
Under the former bill, if the de-
fendant publication can show that the
alleged hbelous matter was published
through misinformation or mistake.
the plaintiff can collect damages only
in such cases as a retraction thereof
has been demanded and refused. The
newspaper must be served with de-
mand for retraction specifying the
statements alleged to be libelous and
request that the same be retracted.
If a retraction or correction is not
published in as conspicuous a place
and in the same size type as the orig
inal statement within two weeks after
service of the demand for retraction
the plaintiff may recover actual specl-
fic and exemplary damages.
If the retraction is published, the
plaintiff may still collect damages un-
less the defendant is able to show
the libelous publication was made in
good faith without malice and under
a mistake as to the facts.
In the event that the publisher was
a candidate for office at the time of
the publication of the libel no re-
traction shall be available unless pub
lished in a conspicuous place ON the
editorial page within two weeks next
before the election.
These bills are aimed to clarity the
present law regarding the publication
of libelous statements. They are re-
garded as drawn in the interest of the
public, giving fair protection to the
newspapers against unwarranted act
ions brought in the courts.

COL. A. F. BANTA A FAMOUS
STARTER OF ARIZONA PAPERS

Colonel Banta's Arizona newspaper
history reads like this:
Newspapers established: The Arizo-
ma Pioneer, St Johns, 1882.
The Holbrook Argus, 1895.
Purchased the Arizona Populist, ir
November, named it "Pick and Drill, >
burned out in big fire of 1900.
Established the Weekly Douglas
Dispatch in 1902
Established The Observer at St
Johns, 1910.
Brokerage and exchange, ETC., ETC.,
at st. Johns during the years 1891,
'92, '93, '94 and '95.
Finally wound up in the Pioneers
Home in 1915.
The last item in his record shows
conclusively the great advantage OF
running newspapers in Arizona-if
you stick to it long enough you can
get a berth in the Pioneers Home.

NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST GATHERED FROM OVER STATE
VOTE $4,000 TO
INVESTIGATE STATE
TREASURER'S OFFICE

The appointment of G. w. Van
Dyke of Miami and c. NJ Lawson of
Stafford to be regents of the state uni
versity, succeeding T. A. Riordan and
]. G.. Compton, whose terms have ex-
pired, were announced Monday by
Governor Hunt.
The bill for the ratification of the
Colorado river compact, with the in
depreciation declaring Arizona's right
to tax the hydro-electric power on the
river, was passed by the senate and
now goes to the house. The vote was
10 to 9, the lineup showing no change
since the reservationist group demon
strated its strength in test vote two
weeks ago.
In the house several members gave
notice that they would oppose the pass
notice that they would oppse the
passing of the appropriation bill be-
cause of the proposed cuts in the sal
aries of minor employees. The cuts
were made by the committee on APP
preparations.
A mild sensation was occasloned In
the house when Legislator Crawford
of Yavapai county introduced reso-
luton urging Governor Hunt to dis
place the present state engineer by
re-appointing Thomas Maddox, for
mer engineer. The resolution said he
ought to be recalled in order to COM
plete the road projects of the state.
When put to vote, the resolution was
indefinitely postponed by a vote of
33 to 9.
The house passed the following bills
on their third reading: House bill No.
TT, appropriating $4,000 for meeting
the cost of the Cave Creek dam;
house bill No. 184, requiring banks to
give security for municipal deposits,
and house bill No. 168, providing for
an investigation looking to the estab-
lishment Of state cement plant.
Evidences of records missing and
destroyed and apparent shortages in
the state treasurer's office under a
previous administration are cited in
the preliminary report of the spec
ial committee appointed by the senate
of the sixth legislature to investigate
the banking affairs of the state.
It recommends an appropriation of
$4,000 for a complete audit of the
state treasurer's office for period
of four years from January /, 1919,
to January /, 1928, to obtain data
on which to base civil suits on behalf
of the state to recover on bonds of
certain former state officials.

THREE MURDERERS SENTENCED
LAST WEEK IN YAVAPAI co.

With a gesture of despairing tense
ness of the muscles about his mouth,
but otherwise unmoved, Franklin La
Grange, convicted of the murder of
Walter Steinbrook at Blind Indian
Creek, on December .26, 1920, was SEN
fenced to spend the rest of his nat
ural life in the Arizona state prison.
When he was asked by Judge John
J. Sweeney if he had anything to Of
fer as legal cause why sentence should
ont be pronounced, LAGRANGE, his
hands upward toward the court in
mute appeal, answered: Il am not
guilty of the murder of any human
being. If Walter Steinbrook is dead,
know nothing of his death. That's
ALL"
John M. Webb, colored ex-service
man, was convicted of the Staying Of
James Coleman, also colored, after
the jury had been out just 40 minutes,
and was sentenced to serve life term
in the Arizona state penitentiary.
1t was the third verdict of guilty
on a charge of murder that has been
heard in the superior court room at
Prescott during the last few days and
was a perfect demonstration OF the
mental attitude of the greater part OF
the population of the county toward
crime, the swinging back of the pen
dulum of public opinion that last fall
returned verdicts of not guilty, one
following another.
Marney, who was convicted of man.
slaughter in connection with the
shooting of Henry Smith at the Ant
lers' pool hall on Thanksgiving eve,
was sentenced to serve term OF not
less than two years nor more than
eight years in the state prison.
