Correspondence Between State Officials Is ln-- creased By Official Legal Construction from Legal Officer.

The correspondence warfare be tween the state officials goes merrily on First one side advances to the center of disturbance, fires q bro;ld- side and retires temporarily from the scene of action No sooner this than the other side advances with further queries and more difficulty. dis charges that broadside and slips into th. background
 Ou Monday the board of control under took to answer the construction of the law of official purchases in Arizona as given by the attorney gen cr1L in six page letter. Yesterday the attorney general came back with five pages of answer. leaving d vic tory of onc page to the board of con trol. so far If the attorney general seems in danger of losing the conflict for want of pages. the axe commit- tee can he drawn on for reinforce ments.

 The attorney generals letter takes up the question of what constitutes un emergency for the purchase of supplies. talks about the purchase of an automobile at present being usec by the governor. and of the trade uf the old one to the prison It talks about number of other things. chiefly in an admonitory manner.

Arizona republican., 1913-03-19

general which is given herewith in full
 Phoenix Arizona, March IS, 1913. To the Board Of Control of the state
 of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:-
 Your communication of the 17th inst. at hand and contents noted q couple of hours after had the pleasure of read ing the same in the daily press. Either your board did not read my former communication Un this subject careful IV or have neglected to examine the law referred to in the same, or you would not have propounded the greater num- Der of queries contained in your com munication. However, I shall endeavor to answer such portions of your com munication aS prOp0und queries and do not constitute merely argument.
 Your first query is whether or not the requirements of the law requiring the board to advertise for bids for sup plies over and above the sum of $10e.00 applies to expenditures for supplies made ont of the state road fund. Sec ton 3564 of the revised statutes of Arizona 1901, which contains the lmi- tatiun on the board of control refers to institutions named in para graph 3l63. namely. charitable, penal and re- formatory instutlons, and the capitol building and grounds. It would seem that the mind of the ordinary laNman could comprehend that the state high way does not come within any of these ciassific;ttions. but if you did not so understand. l am pleased to inform you that it does not. and that the provisions of section 3564 of the revised statutes of Arizona do not apply to the state road fund. that tine expenditures out nf said fund that are required to be by contract and advertised for. are cov' cred entirely by the provisions of chapter 66 of the laws of the special session of 1912 of the first legislature of the state of Arizona.
 Your second query is. if section 3564 applies when you buy for institutions or departments of the state acting merely as agent for such institutions or departments. My response to that inquiry iS that section 3564 applies to all of the charitable. penal and refor- matory institutions and the capitol buildings and grounds no matter in

under the provisions of this act. from the prison fund Under said chapter
 @. no part of this fund can be eN-
 pended except by the order of the may be drawn by the state auditor
 upon the same without the approval
 of the board of control. My assunp-
 ton. when wrote my last com
 munication to you, was that the law
 had been obeyed. and if so the
 money was expended under the
 direction of the board Of control.
 and the claims approved by the
 board of control If any sums of
 money have been paid out of the
 prison fund are expended out of the
 prison fund in any other manner than that prescribed by said chapter N'.
 said expenditures have not been in
 conformity with the law. II they
 have been expended in conformity with law. the expenditures were made and
 authorized by the board of control and the vouchers were ordered paid by
 the board of control.
 As have before remarked. do not question the integrity of your board. but. in my opinion. any ad- ulinistrative board should not en- deavor to see how close they can approach the line of law without { stepping over it. statute should be construed not only according to the letter but to it's spirit. and an admin istratiVe board should endeaNor to act under both the spirit and the letter of the law. 1 can give you an l illustration of this fact: The last ] legislature made no appropriation foi 1 an automobile for the board of con 1 trol Therefore, the board of con l trol could not purchase one for It's 1 use Last year the board of con ! troI purchased for the state pr1sor and paid out of the state prison fund l s new automobile. This automobile was not delivered to the state prison but the old automobile belonging t. ] the board of control, was forwarded tc . the state prison and the new autoino bile kept for the use of the board c control despite the fact that it wa
 paid for out of the funds of the stat
 l prison As to whether or not thl
 is within the letter ef the law, l
Arizona republican., 1913-03-19

Arizona that all her supplies shall be purchased by advertising and by let ting public contracts. and as long as your board lives up to that spirit and is also technically within the law there can be no cause nor ground for complaint.
 Trusting that I have answered all the questions asked by you, satis- factorilY to yourself l remain,
 Yours very truly.

LITTLE CITIZENS.

The State Superintendent of Educa-
ton suggests that every child in the
public schools of Louisiana write to
the President asking for relief from
food conditions in the lower Missis-
sippi valley. The President is very
hard-headed man and looks aat facts
dispassionately but he could not help
but be impressed by such an appeal
from the children. 1t Is bound to be OF
some effect. But even more will be
the effect upon the young letter-writers
themselves. Any thing that calls to
their attention and interest matters OF
public moment is lesson to them in
citizenship, is good training for them
in their future lives. The sooner they
realize their part in duty to the COM
monwealth the sooner will they come
into their birthright of democracy, and
know that even now they are little cit
liens.

The architect whose design was &C.
cepted for the court house in New
York City, costing ten millions, him
self receives a fee of 100000. The
headliner of the yellow press rashly
announces it as winning fortune in
one day" And so the careless might
think, but before man can earn fee
like that he must spend many years in
preparation and study. He must spend
thousands Of dollars in education and
travel learning what has been done in
architecture and drawing Moreover
he and a large corps of draughtsmen
worked for months before the draw
ings were complete in every detail.
They must spend many more watching
every part of the construction. Though
he has won a fortune it has come to
him after many days and nights of
labor.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF To-MoR-
ROW.

"The sure cure, the cure on which
the commonwealth may depend, for
the things that are wrong in our rural
conditions, is through the schoolhouse
and the university working on the
young men and the young women of
tomorrow"
The above clipped from an exchange
some weeks ago epitomizes the ques-
lions that agitate the farming public.
The wider view of life and labor, the
more scientific and thorough methods
will come more easily to the young,
than it does to us older ones who have
imbibed less exact knowledge and ac-
quired lax ways Of working. All hail to
the schools that will teach our youths
the better way for they in turn will
teachNus.

If the present escape from food
the all-levee proposition,
then it has not been an unmixed bless
ing, by any means. The disinterested
and the more discerning will conclude
however that the escape was not due
to the levees holding, but to the fact
that the Mississippi did not produce the
waters which the engineers themselves
predicted. Had that amount of water
come, the levee somewhere would have
been as sure to go as bucket over
flows when too much is put into it.
This is plain common-sense, and the
people of the lower valley are sick and
tired of gambling, hanging breathless,
on the issue whether their levee is to
go, or some other, to relieve the pres
sure. Levees are all right so far as
they go, but engineering science must
find some additional relief for the wat
ers that pour down the Mississippi,
from the upper watersheds

ITS MESSAGE OF HOPE.

Reading the Newlands bill carefully,
and observing Objectionable features,
the supreme word of hope to us in it's
provisions, is that it calls for scien-
tifc inquiry into the causes of the
great foods that are yearly gathered
together, at the same time affording
means for the relief if remedies are
discovered The whole subject is more
or less chaotic at present Former
hypothesis have been tried and found
wanting. A commission whose study
will be this question may produce an
Eads or other genius, who will discov-
er a way out of these gigantic dis
tresses.

A BAD PIECE OF ROAD.

An example of the let-alone policy
characteristic of too many things, and
especially of our public roads, is shown
in the tree that has fallen across the
banks on either side of the road near
Big Bayou Sara on the Pinckneyville
road. 1t has overhung the road for we
should not like to say how long, and
has now become rotten and is an &C.
tual menace to those passing under it.
More than one buggy top has been
torn by it, and one who has recently
suffered such an accident says that a
strong buggy-top could pull it down,
a la Sampson. 1t would be wise to re-
move it before it does further injury.
Another complaint about this same
piece of road comes from AUTOMOBILE
lists. The same machine that success
fully crossed Thompson's Creek bog
ged ANONYMOUSLY up to the hubs in the
mud-hole near Baines school. The par
ty had spades handy and released the
car so that it finally pulled itself out.
Should such things be? 1t does look
as if when natural Instructions can be
over-ridden that men ought to make
the roads equally good.

LuxURlEs VS.. NECESSITIES.

The poultry editor of the Country
Review calls attention to the folly of
some farmers, who sell all of their
chickens and eggs, retaining none for
their own use. She says "a dozen eggs
will weigh pound and half, and
chicken the right size for broiler will
weigh two pounds. The eggs when
sold to the country merchant, who in
turn ships to the commission merchant,
usually bring from 10 to Is cents a
dozen, and the chickens from $2.06 TO
$3.50 per dozen. At the same time
side meat costs Is cents pound and
ham and bacon cost 20 and 20 cents a
pound. The eggs, if salable at Is cents
a dozen, would bring only 10 cents a
pound, and the chickens would bring
less"
The farmer would actually save mon
ey by eating all he needs of his chick
ems and eggs and selling only the sur
plus. In like manner, the shipper of
milk seldom retains any for his own
use Recently we heard of one who
buys the milk for his table, although
shipping many gallons daily to the
city. The chances all are that he buys
very little, and even that bought at
the local retail price almost doubles
the amount that his own milk brings
at wholesale.
Is not this the height of folly? And
yet some have been doing this ever
since there were town and city mar
kets. The mistake is probably due to
the farmers getting the city mans
idea that milk, chickens and eggs are
Injuries, and that therefore he can do
without them. But if luxuries cost no
more than necessities, there is no r"a-
son in the world why any producer
should deny himself.

The Republicans are calling the Bull
Moose back into their herd.

This is the month to make a Bermu-
da pasture. 1t is the best pasture grass
for the South. Why not put it in the
permanent pasture where it belongs =?
Stop gully-washing with Bermuda. Just
commence at top and fill down and set
grass as you go down and you will
stop the soil at the top. Use Bermuda
grass and it will never wash any more.
You can cut it for hay and pasture;
can't be beat. But do not SOW John
son grass at ALL Just get the roots of
Bermuda grass and plant them three
feet apart in corn and just keep plow-
ing, you will get stand. 1t will come
after corn is done and make fine fall

SEVEN CORN COMMANDMENTS.

Prof. Perry G. Holden, Iowas great
corn expert, lays down the following
seven rules that should be followed
by all corn producers:
1.-Test every ear of corn intended
for seed by Smelling off a dozen kernels
and terminating them in box of dirt
Harvest corn intended for seed
early and store it where it will dry out
before freezing weather comes.
3.-Grade the shelled seed corn so
that grains Of about the same size are
put into the planter boxes at the same
time.
4.-Improve the seed corn by select
ing so to 100 of the best ears raised
each year and planting them to one
side of the patch for seed purposes
only.
Seed corn should be selected
that Is known to be adapted to your
locality. Don't import any from any
great distance, unless it is known it
will thrive.
6.-Grow no more than two crops of
corn in succession upon the same land.
Rotate corn crops with crops
which include clover, cowpeas, alfalfa,
soy beans, velvet beans, or some other
legume, every four or FIVE years.
