TENURE IN OFFICE
 MAY BE SUBMITTED
 ID SUPREME COURT
Attorney General Elect Says This Course Is Best
 and Necessary
BIRDING THINKS ONE YEAR

That the tenure of office of the state and county officials elected last Tuesday will be one year, is the opin- ion of John J. Birdno, chairman of the democratic state central commit tee, according To an interview pup hshed in the Los Angeles Examiner of Saturday, Dec. l6. Birdno last week made a flying business trip to Los Angeles.
 The interviewer quotes Birdwno as follows with reference to the tenure ol offie::
 On account of the delay in at taining statehood, the men elected to state and county offices will hold but a yer Another election will fall De cember l, 1912. We do not fear de- leat then. The campaign pledges will certainly -b be fulfilled. and if no serious blunders are made, victory next year will be as sweeping as this vas
 Attorney General Elect George Purdy BGllard says the question of the tenure of office must be passed upon by the state supreme court. The con stitution states that the legislature, governor and oher state executives, as well as judges of the supreme court, and county ofilsials hall hold office un- til the first MonGat in January, 1913. 1t also states that "thre shall be gen eral election of representative in congress, and of state, county ana precinct officers on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November oI the first even numbered yeNr alter the year in which Arizona is admitted to statehood
 As Arizona will not become state until 1912, the general election re- ferred to in the foregoing paragraph would be in 1914. lt remains for the state supreme court to interpret the conflict in the provisions of the con stitution, and hus pas upol he Ques- tlon as to whether the newly elected officers shall serve nine monts or three years.

Dam Goes out.

The Coneho reservoir Gsm went out last Tuesday morning. emptying al
 the water stored in it. The break Is not very extensive, and the food caused by the break did no damage of any consequence to the town and pro. perty situated below. as they are con si6erably above the course of the arroyo below the dam. The loss is considerable. But the people of that enterprising town aud vicinity are al- ready taking steps to repair and build up the dam better thaa ever before. There was a big flood down the Con cho creek as a consequence of the break. but the damage was slight. This is the dam near the big spring above town; the other reservoir dams were not injured to a great evtent.

will occupy the attention Of the new state of Arizona is the conservation Of it's school lands. the parcels of public land that are given to every state upon admission to the union. This matter is already receiving at tention at the hands Of prominent state educators and legislators who are interested in educational matters By a wise conservation of it's school lands, educators sa., Arizona will be able in few years to place it schools upon a solid financial basis. Many of the sections allotted to the public schools will probably be rich in min eral ore or in the agricultural dis tricts may be capable of producing incomes for the school years hence and if these lands are properly con served for the use of the schools a great benefit viii be reaped when Srls territory beooues more thickly set tied. which wills not be many Sears hence
 School lands arc not allowed to be sold for less than three dollars and a half per acre and at that price the interest on the money thus ob- tained would be so insignificant as tb AN p7NANs-' AA llA RAtt eAAAOAAE NAA- schools of a district
 How Others Acted.
 The mistake of Chicago. which is one of he brightest examples of bad judgment in this particular, Is being held up by those who are urging the conservation of school lands. The in come from a single section of school land in Chicago, if it had not been sold and properly conserved, would have been S30,00O,000 a year All that remains of that section today brings to the schools of that district Ss9,000 annually. The other part of the section was sold at three and a half per acre.
 Another instance of school lands wisely conserved is to be found in Alabama, where the largest income that the state university has is de rived from coal lands given to the state uron it's admission to the union. Wisconsin has wisely conserved it's school lands and the result is that it's school tax is the smallest fr the United States.
 This important subject, important 10 every tax payer. will be one of the many matters that will occupn tife time and attention of AEizona's first state legislature.

SLIPPERY ROADS
CAUSE OF P|L|K|A

Three horses down within few
hours, was the record one rainy
day last week, the accidents being
due to the slippery condition of
the road between the Lihue Store
and the Fairview Hotel. T h e
cause given for SO much slipping
lies in the fact that instead of the
road being perfectly fiat, it declines
each direction from h center,
making it almost impossible for a
horse to hold its footing when the
surface is wet. The road is perfect
as to appearance, and in dry wea-
ther, is a SUCCESS in every respect.
But it loses much of its attractive
ness when one scringes in his sad
die, fearing every moment TO be
thrown headlong with possible fatal
results. If no other means can be
found to overcome this menace to
life, it might be we'll to level
the roa d bed. A pretty public
highway is an indication of COM
munity's prosperity, but to main
tain sucha highway at the expense
of injury to animal life without
making an effect to remedy condi-
tons is inconsistent with the best
consideration for that which is
far more important than the com
munity itself-the lives of our citi-
ZenS.

near being a fatal accident last
Wednesday forenoon about half
past eleven O. clock. He had roped
a COW, and before he could make
fast, collision occurred between
the horse and COW. The horse
reared and the rider was thrown be-
tween the two animals. Falling head
first he struck the ground with a
terrific force, his shoulder and
head sharing in the impact. The
result was a dislocated shoulder
and a serious blow on the head
the latter from which he did not
recover full consciousness until
the following morning. He was
taken to the hospital Immediately
after the accident, where his in
iuries were attended by DR., Put
