DELEGATE SMITH OF ARIZONA
REPLIES TO SENATE CRITICISM

the charges made in the senate during
the debate on the statehood BILL to the
effect that Arizona had repudiaIed her
debts. Mr.. Smith explained that he
was compelled to reply in the house
because Arizona had no representative
IL the senate. He denied that Arizona
had ever repudiated a single dollar of
debt or defaulted on a dollar of it. The
charge, he said. was based upon the
fact that a horde of men owning bonds
known to be fraudulent, had come to
congress and had those bonds validated
after they had been declared invalid
by the supreme court. He explained
how one of the counties in the terri
tory had been induced 10 issue bonds
to promote a railroad enterprise but.
he said. not an inch OF railroad had
been built for the $40e, 900 of bonds
which congress saddled or the people
Of Arizona. He thought the act validat-
ing the bonds should be repealed or the
United States should assume their pay
ment.
When the item relating to Indian ed
ucation was reached, Mr.. Burton sub
mitted some interesting figures showing
that as additional educational facilities
were given, the number of Indians in
particular tribes subsisting on govern
ment bounty had increased. without
completing consideration of the bill,
the house rose and, at sos, adjourned

Washington. Jan. 2s.-The house to-
day made slow progress with the IN
dian appropriation bill, covering only
about eight pages in over four hours.
Mr.. Burton Of Ohio hung on the flank
of Mr.. Sherman of New York. who had
charge Of the bill. and insisted upon
an explanation of every item. He sue
ceeded in having several appropriations
cut down. In the course of the debate
he furnished some interesting statistics
on the subject of the Indian education
deFigned to show that the more money
the government spent the more helpless
the Indians became.
The senate amendments to the bill
to amend the bankruptcy act were
agreed to- The speaker appointed
Messrs. Hildebrant (Rep.) of Ohio.
Hughes (Rep.) of West Virginia and
Bartlett (Dem.) of Georgia members
of the temporary committee on &C
counts of the next congress.
Soon after the house convened a mo-
ton was made to concur in the senate
amendments to the bankruptcy bill and
after some debate was agreed to, 124
to 81.
The house then resumed considera-
ton of the Indian appropriation bill.

OBJECTS TO RAISING SALARIES.
Believes That the Argument Ad-
vanced Is Not Consistent

Provo, Jan 2S.-Judge Booth of the
Fourth district objects to the raising Of
the salaries of judges on any false pre-
lenses He does not say that the work
performed by the judges is not worth
more than the present salaries That, in
his opinion. is a matter for the legisla-
ture to decide, and if the lawmakers con-
slider that the work is not fairly paid for,
and increase the salaries. it is not likely
that their opinion viii be criticised by the
Judge But he objects to the argument
that is advanced in support of the law to
increase salaries, viz: That higher salar-
les will secure for the office of district
judges men better qualified for the posi-
ton. This he believes to be fallacious,
and advanced some strong arguments for
his contention today to The Herald
representative. He said:
Take the First district. I believe the
men best qualified for the office in that
district are Judge Hart, who holds the
office, and w. W. Manghan, who wanted
I'm the Second district, I believe Judge
Rolapp is, probably, as well qualified a.
any member of the bar in the district If
not. ! believe that the people could get
any other attorney there to accept the
office at the present salary.
There are attorneys in the Third dis
trict, whose legal attachments are ad-
mitted TO be superior TO those of the
judges in the district but they would
not accept the office of judge even if
the salary was doubled, because they
could not afford it, their practice bringing
them more than the salary would be.
How about the Fourth district?" was
asked.
well, the Fourth district may have at
torneys better qualified for judge than
the present incumbent, but I don't believe
there is one Of them that would not take
the office at the present salary, if the
people wanted him
In the other district I do not now
think of any practicing attorney who
would make a better judge than the man
who at present holds the office. I am
sure that any attorney in the Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh districts would accept the
responsibility of the office for the present
salary.
