II Is THE LAW
 FOR THE PRESENT
county Attorney Lymans Opinion With Reference to the Precincts.

Tn an opinion submitted to the board of supervisors yesterday rela- pVe to the redistricting of the county ihto justices precincts; County Attor- ney Lyman informs the board that under the law there was nothing else for them to do and that also under the law it is their duty to fill the vacancies that will be caused All pre- cinct offices will become vacant.
 But the county attorney does not assure the board that their work will be ultimately effective. On this point he says:
 Tt has been intimated that the act Ill question may not be in respects constitutional, in that the legislature has no authority to Vacate these pre- cinct offices and that therefore, no vacancies would occur. l do not take il that 1t is the duty of the board of supervisors to decide upon the con stitutiOnality of this or any other statute. It is the duty of the board to proceed in accordance with the statutes IS the legislature has framed them leaving constitutional questions to be decided by the courts, should proper proceedings be taken to de- termine such questions. I might add, however. that the subject of this statute seems to be one for Iegisla tive action the constitution of the state provides no fixed number of justices or constables to be elected, nor limits nor defines the terms for which they shall be elected, and as the present incumbents of those of fees the constitution says that they shall continue in office until their successors are qualified. These Of fees having been created by statute take il that the legislature has the power to further legislate upon the subject, changing the number of jus tices of the peace and constables for any precinct as has been done in this statute and fixing also the terms ot office
 Assuming that this act is consti- tutional. the board has the plain and simple duty of carrying out the law as il finds it.

 FARE BILL ORDER
Chairman Geary Explains That Railroads Must File Necessary Papers in Or der to Avail Themselves of Relief

The order isued by the Arizona Cor poration Commission yesterday re- sarding the exemptions of the railroads from the operation of the three cent fare law. seems to have caused the impression that all the railroads regard less have been granted exemption, and that all they now have to do is to file their statement that it's operation of the law is a hardship upon them. In speaking about the situation Yester day Chairman w. P. Geary of the commission said, The affidavits which are required of the railroads. winch set forth their position and condition precedent to their obtaining the re lief granted by the order and not a condition subsequent.
 Up to the present time there are but two railroads within the state that can take advantage of the order, these having heretofore filed applica- lions for exemption with statements showing their condition and the state ments that the operation of the law will be such as to make it impossible for them to give just and reasonable service for the compensation they would receive.
 The order is general in that it will not be necessary for the commission 10 isues additional orders with regard to the railroads and the operation of the three cent fare bill if the railroads wishing the exemption filed the re- Quired affidaVits. But at the same it does not relieve those roads who do not await themselves of the conditions set forth.
 This exemption is however but temporary relief as a full and thor ough investigation of the case will be made by the Corporation Commission as soon as possible, and final de termination of the case made"
