BOOSTERS HAVE WORK
 AHEAD
(From Tuesdays Daily)

The National Highways Associa- ton, of which the Arizona Good Roads Association is q division, is preparing to publish a statement of the present activities and fixed plans for the State associations amalga- mated with the great national or ganization. The secretary in charge of this work has asked the head of the State organization, President T. G. Norris of this city, for a sum- mary of the plan adopted by the Arizona division and the road au- thorities in the State, together with is legislative needs.
 The great national organization IS also preparing data with reference to financial conditions and support of the subsidiary road boosting or ganizations. Arizona's body is, of course. the youngest in the associa- ton and naturally, President Norris Is anxious to have the records show a standing which will not only amaze but enlighten the road boost CTS of the Eastern and Middle West States.
 The directors and the divers vice presidents oi Arizona's counties will be called in session shortly by Pres ident Norris for the purpose of act ing in conjunction with the Nation ad Highways Association in this matter. The vice-presidents will be requested to gather accurate data from each and every county.
 The State organization is always open to suggestion by the interested outsider. President Norris. at this time especially. requests that those who have given the subject any at tentiOn and desire to submit their ideas, do so at once.
 The greatest need confronting the organization at the present time is uniform system of road building and maintenance in this State. When this problem is solved, easy sailing in the future is assured for the infant addition to one of the greatest boosting organizations in the world.

NEW CODE CUTS INTO
 COUNTY REVENUE.
(Fron Snnday's DailyD

As a direct result of the new code oi procedure for the Superior Court, enacted by the recent legislature, and which went into effect on Oc- tober I. the county is out just $lSO. This loss was incurred during the December jury trial session. which has just ended
 In accordance with the old code, the losing party in an action tried by jury selected upon demand, had to pay for jury services as well as all other costs. Jurymen are paid s day and the parties trying the suit. therefore, had to pay $50 a day for their peers.
 In the new code, however, no provision is made for charging the contesting parties for the use of the jury. During the session. end ing last night. there were three civil cases tried by the jury. The Fielder Grainge suit occupied but one day. The Pruitt- Gordon and Scott Auto Company cases required two days each. The sum total in jury fees for these three cases is SlS0 Not conversant with the details of the new code, the county off cials collected the jury fees in the Scott-Auto Company case when pay ment was rendered. The remittance has been returned.
 During the past session there have been over seventy veniremen upon the panel. The majority of this number drew warrants for S30 on Friday and yesterday. The loss by virtue Of the new code is, there fore. but a small fraction of the ac- tual expense to the county incurred in trial jury sessions. All criminal cases are always exempt from jury fees.
 One man, conversant with the sit nation. is not inclined to lay too much stress upon the loss incurred by virtue of the new code He points out though that the new de parturc will open the way for a deluge of petty and unimportant suits in which the principals will request jury trials. now that no fees are connected with such actions.

NEARLY READY TO
 OPEN RESERVATION.
(From Sundays Daily)

Ailbli s1hli'isA 9 Aftsiis
 According to private advices re ceived from Washington il is prob able that within the next ten days Congress will complete the provi- sious under the Carey act. authoriz- ing the lands in the Colorado In- dian reserve to be thrown open to the public. After this action is ali thorized. the State land commission is to assume charge oi the diSpo- sition of the domain, which ap- proximately is 10000 acres. lying along the Colorado river in the Parker section.
 The initial method to be adopt ed will be to advertise for bids for the installation of the irrigating system and after that matter is dis posed of. the applicant for land will apply to the successful bidder for the purchase of the water right desired Equipped with this author ity the applicant then makes for nal entry before the State com mission, which body, it is stared, will make allotnents of land to individuals on the basis of about forty acres each. At what price per acre is. not known, but 1t is believed a very liberal rate will be made.
 One of the provisions of The con- gressional act is that after the ex- pense of irrigation is met by the payment of principal and interest, the irrigation system reverts to the land owners While it is true a private corporation is to under take She developing of the lands safeguards prevent a monoply, as well are the rights of the owners 10 be fully protected.
 The Colorado project. in short. is kindred to the Roosevelt reclama- ton in principle, only the first llelltu lS lp DC NOlluuN lCu DI sl private concern.
 That the throwing on the market of the vast acreage along the Colo rado river is to be attended with q keen interest is assured from the thousands of letters being received asking for information and the hun dreds who are personally making in spections of the lands. California leads. while Oklahoma ranks second. Those conversant with soil condi- tions on the reserve state that the poorest acre is better than the best acre in the STit River valley. The zone also is immune from frost. and during the freeze of last year the youngest orange tree. was uninjured.

NEW COAL RATES EFFECTIVE ON
 JAN. 15TH
(From Sundays Daily)

Advice has just been received by the Arizona Corporation Comlnis- sion that the new coal rates from Gallup. New Mexico, to Arizona points will not be effective until January l5, 1914. Recently, the commission was advised that these rates would be effective January i, but the Interstate Commerce Com mission has modified its former or der and extended for fifteen days the date upon which the new rates will be effective. Coal dealers in various parts of the State who have withheld their orders, should take notice that they will not be able to take advantage of the new rates as soon as was at first supposed. The reduction in rates resulted from an appeal made by the Arizona Cor poration Commission to the Inter state Commerce Commission. The reductions in most instances are ma terial.

 Such q state of affairs was pro- nounced unconstitutional by Judge E. W. Wells and Attorneys E. s. Clark and LeRoy Anderson upon inc grounds that it was double tax ation. Other phases of the question were thoroughly discussed and the members became sufficiently con vinced that they were taking the right step to pass resolutions au- thorizing legal action.
 There appears q strong likeli- hood that Friday nights battle will be the forerunner of warm and in teresting legal fight which will cul- minate in the State Supreme Court. Attorneys Clark and Anderson vol unteered their services to the club in this connection. The other ac- tive bar members of the organiza- ton will also aid the campaign.
 Gordon Clark, Sid Birch and J. Arthur Gales were appointed a committee to communicate with the auto clubs throughout the north ern section of the State relative to cooperation in the battle. Maricopa county will be asked to join, but judging from opinion expressed Fri day night cooperation from that directon is very unlikely.
 The sense of Friday nights session was not that the license ice was excessive in any way or that any strong objection was raised because it was unconstitutional. but mainly because of the vague manner in which 1t is drawn up.
 In Yavapai county there are ap- proximately 225 machines paying licenses under the new law at an average Ol v .JO AO AAiN Neiis -NN cording to statement advanced Fri day night. not one cent of this rev enue will be expended upon roads in this county This prediction is based upon the records of past years. Ii cense fee money is spent entirely upon roads in the State but no provision is made in the law that the money shall be spent in the county where contributed.
 Auto owners throughout the northern section of the State will be advised to pay their license fees ii not yet paid under protest. One local member will fail to pay his fee at all and this fact will serve as the foundation of a test case which, it is expected, will ultimately wind up in the Supreme Court.
