Here's a glorious example of the good, Aineiican dispo.Kition. to tumble all race and ciass distinctions into the inciting pot of republicanism. This is the ticket which was victorious in the election of a 'municipal government'" in one of the lamest pub lic schools in the city: Mayor, Ccorge Mayer; dis trict attorney, Tung Y. Chen; eomptrollir, Lewis Hopkins; pi evident of the board of aldermen, l.-.a-liore Washkovitz; judge.,, .John Thonipklns, Mat tl ew O'.Meara and Ilruno Al.lini. Tho first and highest oft ice goes lo the son of an Knglish Jew. Tho other successful candidates are a Chinese boy, a I'olish Jew, a hoy of Knglish descent, a son of an Irish immigrant, and an Italian born in tjonoa. There was a spirited contest for nil the office', particularly for that oi district attorney, which .was won by the Chinese boy, Tung Chen, through su perior ability on the stump. All of the disciplinary anil general affairs of the school are now placed in the hands of the gov ernment, with the right of veto resting in the hands of the principal. Other schools are rapidly effect ing similar organizations. Elections are held at tho beginning of each term and campaigning is permit ted the fullest scope, except that personalities and trading for votes are strictly prohibited. It may lie interesting to add that the girls of this school refused to accept the nrivilege of the Mite or to permit themselves to be drawn into poli tics until after the election. Now they are engag'-d in nominating a. ticket for the next election And, to prove that it didn't take them long to get the idea, they have already indorsed Tung Chen, tho Chinese orator, for re-election.

The bill provides for the destruction of liquors poized. An amendment to permit the importa tion of a limited quantity of .liquor for personal use was stricken out. The House The first business of the house yes terday morning after the second read ing of bills was a report by Chairman Christy of the committee on petitions and memorials of the Acuff resolution extending tin invitation to Senator Ashurst and Representative llayden to address the legislature. The chairman said that it was with some hesitancy that he had submitted the report since the resolution had referred to these gentlemen as being of iinequaled statconianship and untiring zeal. He fell that if the resolution should go through in this form something would have to he done to appease the shades of Webster. Clay, Calhoun, Haynes and others who had preceded them in the halls of congress. Mr. Johns moved to strike out the words "iinequaled" and "untiring". Hut it was suggested that both gentlemen had been untiring in their service for Arizona but t here was no objection to the striking out of "iii equaled." The resolution was referred. The Land Commission Mr. T'inkley offered a suggestion which later took the form of a resolu tion relating to the hind commission. He said that about thirty townships had been withdrawn by the govern ment for scieeti"u by the land depart ment of the slate hut there was no money for that purpose. The funds ap propriated for the expenses of the de partment in the general appropriation bill could not bo devoted to that pur pose. No land legislation could he en acted in time, for the period within which the selection would have to be made would expire within thirty days. Mr. I'inkley said that cither t h' legis lature should make an a ppropriat ion now for that purpose or else it should ai range thn.t money previously appro priated for the expenseei of the depart ment might be turned to that purpose. The question was raised whether or not the legisl.-i lure w-.is not powerless under the call of the governor to take any 'action at all with reference to this mat ter. Finally, however, a committee was appointed to confer with the land com mission and the attorney general. A message was received from the governor transmitting a report from the office of the Ftate engineer con icrniiig tile suffering in Apache and Navajo counties in consequence of the breaking of the I.yman dam hist April. After describing at length the character and the extent of the disaster the re port states: "Tho development of this community has been along substantial lines. Com fortable and attractive homes have heen erected. The preparation of the land and planting in crop and orchard h.-:-: been energetically pushed and wealth has Iieen created in mnnv wavs. jonly to lie deserted if the project should I fail. "Tlie entire community is dependent on the irrigation system for its pros- polity and in largo part for its exist ence. I "It is freely predicted and may well j he true that without this reservoir and irrigation system, the population of St. I i.Iohiiis must shrink to less than aO per' (cent of the present. With tho com-! pleted system in successful operation .the taxable wealth of the community should increase by one or two more millions of dollars within a few years' j time.

Kither of these meth ods would require an immediate outlay of from $f'i.li(in to $12.i)0. "In order to properly construct the dam and head works, with concrete core to dam and tunnel through the hill to head gates, it would be impos sible to estimate at this time a smaller sum than ? lr.n.ooo.

"In this connection I wish also to call your attention to tho necessity for a law providing for tho regulation and control of all water power and irriga tion projects hy proper state officers." Tho constitution probably prohibit an actual donation but there is noth ing that would prohibit the form of re lief suggested in the report. Anti Capital Punishment Mr. I'inkley offered a bill providing for the abolition of capital punishment coupled with a provision against the pardon of one convicted of a. capital crime unless later develpmonts should show- his innocence or disclose mitigating circumstances not brought out at the trial. It is expected that a bill establishing a homo for dir-abled and needy miners will be brought out today. It is pro imsed to appropriate $75. OHO f,.r "le erection of a home.

"Would it be possible to stop firms doing in a local field what they would do in a foreign field if they organized?" asked Chairman Ha vies. "Yes," replied the witness. "Tap field would he different; the purposes ing stars of our endeavor: tho loyal e.-uise we live for, faithful to our trust, untemptod by the lure of place or power: to tho end that we may worthily carry our flag upon the sea, and securely guard our shores." Kiske declared if we were attacked, it might be by a great naval power, with a largo fleet fully equipped with all kinds of ships, including battle cruisers, dreadnaughts, pre-dreud-naughts, scout cruisers. destroyers, submarines and supply ships. "What have we to oppose this force?

A regular communication base on Ihe right bank of the Isonzo has In en maintained, including a tele phone line over which the commander at Caporetto is immediately informed of each attack by the Austrian iu their effort to dislodge the Italians. Monte Nero dominates tho whole Kriuli valley. The possession of this idge enables the Italians to menace Tolmino from tho rear.
