4 Arizona is now said to have population of
over 100000. We believe that at this increase
at least one or two new persons should be ad-
mitted to membership in the perpetual state office
lhOlderS association. We hope the next session OF
the legislature will so amend the constitution to
permit an increase in the membership, provided of
course said persons have the proper and proven
democratic credentials
We wish it distinctly understood that the first
! time this new state highway commission attempts
j to pull any raw stuff on Governor Hunt, The Sun
will repudate the whole bunch regardless of their
confirmation by the state senate. Having forced
i these nominations upon the governor, we hope the
legislature will back them up whichever way they
are faced.
Even John D. Rockefeller says he is gloomy

Banking conditions have improved rapidly in
Los Angeles during the last few years. Not long
ago it took three four sturdy bandits to hold up

So far only few cheap political hats have been
thrown into the state political ring 1t seems like
long time for these poor fellows to go bare
headed but it is possible their. heads need more
air.
Possibly it would have been better to have
turned Sacco and Vanzett loose and pensioned
