ExTeId M8H0.

When SchAemann was digging at the
supposed site Of Troy he discovered
masses Of silver in the form of az
heads. Cote suggested that these
were intended not for implements, but
for money. Bronze ak heads have also
been discovered In ancient remains,
Mingled with metal pieces in the form
Of rings, in such a manner as @ sug-
kss$ that ali alike were intended to
serve as money. and the conclusion Is
drawn that in ancient times the metal
Ak head had coE1e to be a popular
unit Of value fer purposes OF barter.
After 1t had disappeared as actual
money the memory Of it, according to
this theory. was preserved in the coins
OF Tenedos, which bore the figure Of
an ak head. It has been suggested
that the wedge OF gold" which Achan
stole from the spoils of Jericho and

twice as large as the same item under
Governor Butchel, three years age
Had Governor Shafroth not doubled
his payroll many of the appropria-
tions that are really needed could be
paid.
Last week Secretary Patek of the
Immigration Board was compelled to
notify all the counties that there
would probably be very little avail
able cash for the board this period.
The fact that State Oil Inspector
Claude Street is maintaining his po-
sition and demanding that he be paid
the same salary as he was paid last
year even though the last assembly
changed the salary, is causing no end
of comment in political circles. The
position has always been on a COM
mission basis, and paid from six to
nine thousand dollars a year. The
last legislature amended the law to
$1,000 a year and provided that the
rest of the fund should be turned in
to the general incidental account. The
senate failed to confirm Mr.. Streets
reappointment by Governor Shafroth
and now Street takes the position that
he is holding over and is entitled to
the salary under which he was first
appointed. The law previously pro-
vided that the oil inspector should
keep all the fees. Mr. Street is con-
tinuing in this practice. He apparently
has the support of Governor Shafroth
in his claim for the old salary. At
torneys say that, If Governor Sha-
froth wanted to save to the state the
difference between the comission and
the legal salary all he need do would
be to discharge the oil inspector and
then raappoint him under the new
law.

leaders in the reform movement for
economy. but wants II practiced by
