NECESSARY LEGISLATION.
Now that Hie legislature will soon
be in cession it will not be out of
place to dal! attention to the ijpme
fiiate necessity for some gppd and
wholesoni ' le^ (Ration.
The greatest evil now existing in
Arizona is iff system of licensed
gambling. (Jjur cities, targe towns
and mining camps contain large gamb
ling d r. s, which ru,» night and day
with the lull sanction of *he law.
Many of them are “deadfalls” where
the hardworking miner and workuan
is relieyed pf his hardearned wages.
It should be pntirely suppressed, as it
ia a terrible and Rowing evil, so
much so that Phoenix has been called
t)te Monte Qarlo of America.
Women should bp excluded from
the salopns at all times, and the sing
ing and dancirg therein by women
Vvould thus bp eliminated. Stricter
laws should be made for the protec
tion of minors
The saloons should be closed from 7
o’clock Saturday night unfji 7
o’clock the following Monday morn
ing. This would give the workman
who is usually paid on Saturday night
a chance to give some of his earnings
so his wife and famil|r.
The faihilies of drunkards should
be protected, and the most severe
penalties should be meted out to any
one who, afpep proper notice, sells or
gjves intoxicating liquore to a man
who is a drunkard.
There iq a necessity for the enact
ment of other good laws on a large
number of subjects, but we simply
mention these, as they are of pressing
importanee.
Now that Arizona is seeking to be
a state, no doubt our legislature will
&ct in such a manner at this time as
will show that cpngregs will make ro
mistake ip granting it.
There, would likely be little oppo
sition from any one except the gamb
lers. 3t»e b tter cla°B of liquor sellers
are in fsyor of the proposed legisla -
tion.
The action of the legislature will be
watched with interest, as it is well
known that if they fail in their duty
tha* influential members of the Con
i
gress of the have given
pledges that they wilt do all they can
fp bsya certain desirable and necca
*ary legislation for the territory passed
and enacted by Congress itself
TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT.
There are many people who do not
appreciate the fact that a territorial
form of government has many ad
vantages as well as disadvantages.
The federal government pays All the
cost of opr territorial legislature. It
pays the cost of administering thp
territorial' government, at least the
most expensive departments thereof,
and while it does not dictate the law*
to be epacted, congress ha* the ppwer
to anppl any undesirable legislation.
It ha* not, however, done so in any
instance to our knowledge in Arizona,
but wh»n the Arizona legislature rati
wild on the divorce business, passing
laws, granting divorces by the score,
congress stepped in and stripped the
legislature of the power to grant di
vorces. When the legislature ran
mad in passiug laws authorizing the
counties to issue bonds for all kinds
of hazardous enterprises, especially
for building railroads,"congress stepped
in and paid, “thus far ebalt thou go
and no farther,’’ placing a limit upon
territorial, county and municipal in
debtedness thus saving the territory
and the people frqm bankruptcy and
confiscation, which would pstpr&jly
follow.
Congress has done many things to
protect Arizona and her people from
..;T.y. ?.:-TL .v. *<• . : ■ > - ; ■ /v* I
dapgerous legislation, whioh, had Ari
zona beep a state, cpngress wopld
have been powerleea to heye pre
vented. When statehood oopie* con
gress will haye no >eto power on ex*
travagapt or otherwise undesirable
legislation; What is then done will
stand unless we aye protected by an
fron-clad constitution, which will be
the important consideration as the
first step to statehpod.
This * territorial yassqlage,’’ while
it may be harsh to American cit’zrns,
and cause no little chafing, especially
to those who are ambitious for the of •
ficial honors and perquisites which
follow in the wake /of a soyerergn
commonwealth, yet has its ad van
tftgea.— gltay.

“One great improvement in eled-*
tion methods whieh should come about
before the next Pre* : dential election,
is the general introduction of the
voting machine,” says the New York
Post {ißvery new place where it
has been tried the past week,” adds
that paper, “is pleased with it. One
type of machine whiph was used in
the city of Northampton, Mass., en
abled the result there, where nearly
2,400 votes were cast, tq be known in
New York city within ten minutes
aPer the polls closed. With the gen
eral adoption of sugh a system tt)q
vote in any state could be learned
with almost entire accuracy early in
the evening of election day.?’
The soipi n g legislature should
amend the revenue laws of the terri
tory, so as to make the burden of
maintaining the territorial' govern
ment bear equally on all. Those who
are worth their millions and whose
incomes are from one to twelve mil
lions annually, from properties sit*
uated within tfie territory, can better
afford to pay their just proportion of
taxes than the man who only owns a
few acres of land, or a few head of
stock, and are .barely able to keep
body and soul together by working
from twelve to fourteen hours a day
and practicing the severest economy.
Equalize the onerous burdens of taxa
tion. Make the rich poor pay
their just proportion.
The K. of P. lodge had a most en
joyable time last Monday night. The
second degree *as conferred on Ed.
Bloomer, L. Salter and A. Hart. AH
the old timers were on hand to assist
in the “working oyer?’ of Bloomer,
who got through all right, although
he very nearly lost his hair and his
teeth by alternately laughing and then
shivering with fear and despair. A
lunch was sorved at about 11 o'clock,
and very much enjoy< d. Several ap
phsatious for membership are pending.
The Democrat oflrers-elect a»e
greatly trqublefi about dividing the
few appointive offices among the faith
ful. There are not near enough to go
around. W. A. Mouer will likely be
uuder-shetifl, while E. 8. Russell
will be clerk of the Board of Super
visors, so it is said. Sam Webb and
Ai Arthur seem to have a sure thing
»g deputies in the Recorder's office,
while Z. M. Zander is slated for the
qffice of deputy clerk of probate.

A farmer in a neighboring oounty
lost a cow in a peculiar manner last
week. The animal ate a cake ot
yeast and an old umbrella, and the
t yeast raising the umbrella paused a
fiorrible death from expansion.

The Belgian bare, when grain fed,
is as nice table meat as man ever
flapped hi* lip over, but it does not
pay to sell them for table use in this
market. A few in r,he back yard,
like chickens, afford a cheap delicacy
for the table. With a few hares and
a few chickens, nothing gpej to waste,
as vegetable tops tmd peelings and all
waste from the table is cleared up
completely. The hare fad with its
ridiculous prices is a thing of the pastj
but the hare has come to stay as a
domestic food producer pn a small
scale, like poultry.
