The Lethal Gas Amendment

The October ballot will carry a proposed
constitutional amendment providing for the ex-
ecution of the death penalty in Arizona by lethal
gas instead of by hanging. AS the constitution
specifically provides for hanging, such a method
of execution can be changed only by direct vote
of the people Consequently should this proposed
amendment be passed, it could be changed in the
future only by vote of the people.
We are opposed to this amendment, and
urge the voters to vote mo- First of all we are
opposed to it On account of the technical legal
form the amendment takes. It this amendment
provide that the death penalty shall be carried
out aas the legislature might direct We would fav-
or it. Then if the legislature wanted to adopt leth-
al gas that would be alright. 1t is mistake to
write into the constitution the exact form the
death penalty should take
la the next place execution by lethal gas is
not the humane method many credit it with be-
ing The doomed one is strapped to chair in an
alright room The gas is generated The doomed
one chokes to death on the gas If hun1aneness
was the desire of those sponsoring a change from
hanging, electrocution would be the quickest and
most humane method.
In any event the proposed amendment does
not better the situation, and would require add-
tional expense on the part of the state. IF the
lethal method would not work out satisfactorily,
it would require another direct vote Of the people
to change it, (Arizona Daily Starr

Play Safe At uesday's Election

In practically every election in this state
proposed changes in the state constitution APP
pears on the ballot.
Next Tuesdays election is no exception. Six
proposed changes are ON the ballot this time
Fortunately, the voters very seldom give
majority for such changes, feeling that the con-
stitution as drawn up just prior to Arizona be-
coming state back in 1912 was splendid doc
ument and that the pioneers who drew up the or
iginal laws to govern this state knew what Ari-
IONA needed.
Ususally some person or organization foster
ing proposed constitutional amendments has an
axe to grind and none carry any real merit.
If you do know who is behind a constitution
al amendment Or any good reason it should be
adopted the safe thing to do is to play safe and
vote NO.

Too Much Red Tape

The mayor Of Seattle told the administra-
ton at Washington the other day that the depres
sion is becoming worse in the Pacific Northwest
because the government is so slow in getting pub
lie works projects under way.
The same thing holds true in Nogales. This
city sent to Washington weeks ago data, etc, for
the conduit in Nogales and the proposed dams
on the Santa Cruz river and Sonoita creek but so
far there appears to be no indication of early
tion on those projects, and in the meantime No
gales suffers.
Too much red tape seems to be the fault in
Washington. The public works program should
be speeded up.

WHEN THE RADICALS MARCH

Free food. free rent and So day-thOse were
the quite absurd demands of group of 80 young
Detroit red radicals who marched upon the CITY
hall one day-and got into trouble when they gave
battle to the police who attempted to steer them
down the street by a way that would keep them
from invading the mayors office.
They were giving only another demonstration OF
the entire lack of good faith in any such move
ments this.
Not only were their demands ridiculous, but they
would have been thoroughly disappointed if any
body had taken them seriously.
They got probably just what they came fora
lively scrap with the police, the chance to do q
little fighting and get few of their most belliger-
ent marchers into jail.
Most of these were mere boys and girls, 16 to
IS years of age and they were apparently spoil
ing for fight
Groups of young reds like these are getting to
be good deal of nuisance Then can hardly be
classed as dangerous although in this case they
are usually egged on by one or two older men OF
women.
Youth is just naturally radical and we can eX-
cuSe Them most of them will get over it in time.
But these older and more vicious leaders, who are
making youth the tools for their subversve designs,
should be handled with gloves.-Roek Hill Is. c.

DICTATORSHIP vs.. JUDICIARY

Signs continue to multiply that the Naz;5 who
hail their movement as revolution, are laying
the foundations for a future revolution, which in
the very nature of things may not be as lacking
of the bloody features of most revolutions as the
present overturning.
The latest and most radical movement yet under
taken proposed by the Nazis is the abolition Of
all court authority to hear appeals from the arb-
trary acts of the rulers
DR.. Hoche, counselor of the Reich Ministry Of
the Interior declared in recent issue of the Ger
man Jurists' Journal that review by any judicial
authority OF political acts of the state important
acts of the government is unthinkable in he Ma
tional Socialist State
He declares also that this principle "must al
ready be considered valid law, although it is not
yet put down in paragraphs
And he says "the National Socialist revolution
itself is the source of law with immediate appli-
cation"
Perhaps the most significant thing in this whole
statement is the definite application of this pri1-
ciple IN plain words to the arbitrary imprisonment
of any persons whom the government desires TO
put out of the way. There is now no judicial au-
thorlty TO prevent abuse of this power.

THE EARLIEST WATER MAIN

The ancient city of Ninevah in Assyria, which
1ourished nearly thousand years before the Chris
tan era. was famous for its gardens-hanging
gardens, sunken gardens and just gardens
1t was a great city. with a million Inhabitants OF
So and it had many modern features, even accord
ing to present day standards.
In King Sennacherib also it had ruler in those
years of it's greatest glory who had lot of modern
ideas.
And so it is not strange that archaeologists dig
ging into the earth over there have uncovered a
great aqueduct by which water was brought hun
dred miles to the city from the Kurdish Mountains,
to water the famous gardens and supply water for
the people
This Ninevah aqueduct is the earliest known wa
ter main in existence, although it is very probable
Sennacherb got his idea from some earlier water
system.
But he has given something to think about.
We may be sure, however, that the Romans
learned something about building water systems
from the Assyrians.
And remarkable as it may seem, except for the
mechanics of their construction, we following
the ideas of the Assyrians and the Romans to this
day.--Rock Hill IS. c. Herald.
