Morgan of Navajo, voting for the Pace "bill, announced to tho press today that 4a would vote for segregation, which will inako tho Count' soven to five, if to other changes are made for passage. It is mora than likely atattwo-thirds rote wil bo scoured which would pass tho bill over tho governor's probablo veto.

PRESENT FORM, HOWEVER, MAY BE DECLARED UNCONSTITU TIONAL IF PASSED. PHOENIX, Ariz., March . Segregation will pass tho council, but unless tho bill is amended it is very likojy to bo vetoed by the governor, fop n its present form tho Hightower measure is vory similar to a local op tion law which Judgo Kent a few years ago held to be unconstitutional, in which decision ho was upheld by tho supremo court. Tho defect in tho law was that no arbitrary districts or pro nctH could be established, that tho election precincts for a. prohibition vote, should havo tho ,same boundary lines as tho already established districts in each county. Tho Hightower bill contains the samo defect. It arbitrarily cuts off an un t J L-&., . OI.., I mmwwk- mwm incorporated town, and makes np pro vision which will bo likely to meet with gcnernl disapproval. In order to secure an election, a, petition signed by 25 per cent of tho voters must bo present ed to. the board of supervisors, whereas, tho present law ouly roqulics 10 per cunt, Lleetions can only bo held every two years. Where the people wish tho question voted on in a city, two things must bo doue. Ono to seeuro tho potU tiou signed by 2.1 per cent of tho vot ers, and also a resolution passed by tho common couueu approving nnd calling for an election. Both potitiou and reso lution must thon bo presented to tho board of supervisors, who mny call tho election. This will inako tho liquor question an issue in every city election for couucilmon, for whon tho saloou men gain control of the council it might bo a long time boforo the pooplo could secure a vote on tho question. A measure which is much more meritorious has beon introduced into tho uppor hou9o, and which will stand tho test. There Is a dnngor in tho Hightower bill of tho establishment of road houses four miles or hioro from tho cities by getting u liconso from tho board of supervisors. As this law would ropeal all others, the Pace bill would bo ronddred practically nil, as far as eountry districts were concerned. " t Tho sontimont of thoso approving the measure in toto wcro exprosscl by Sut ter of Cochise in a very eloquent speech in tho houso Friday, w'hon ho said that tho rural residents had no right to dic tate by their votes, whether tho citizens of a city should bo derived of tho revenue from the well rogulatcd saloous, and to increaso tho taxes of tho proper ty owners in the cities by voting out tho saloons.
