EDITOR GRAPHIC: In the last issue of
your paper l noticed question asked
by Zone Of Your Subscribers" "wheth-
er a man who has been elected as
county commissioner in one district, and
subsequently moves with bis family into
an adjoining district, can continue to
serve as member of the board?" II
your correspondent referred to T. G.
Gaines-and he evidently did-it is my
opinion he has no case. AS l under
stand the matter, the situation is about
like this: Mr.. Gaines is carrying the U.
S. mail between WIlliston and Grinnell,
distance of AZ miles. and as conve.
nience for the winter service he has
prepared himself station at Kusick's g
springs, 20 miles out, where he has hay
and water, and taken his family there so
he can have things comfortable on his
arrival there in going to and fro on his
trips, which during the winter in this
section are extremely dangerous. This
is precaution which any sensible man
would take. So, under the circumstan-
ces it does not look as though the family
had permanently moved out Of the I'd
district. The family has gone to the
Kusick's springs temporarily. to keep
house and make things comfortable dur
ing the winter, while Mr. Gaines is dis
charging tue duties of his contract. l
do not seeTwhy any one should claim
that Mr.. Gaines has lost his residence
in the % district because Of this arrange
ment, any more than that he would bave
lost his residence in case his family had
gone east for a winters visit.
FAIR PLAY.
