Feeding of County Jail Prisoners by
Sheriffs for Profit to be Stopped
According to Atty Gents Opinion

The feeding of county Jail prisoners
for profit, one Of the sources of income
outside of their salaries, that has made
the position Of sheriff in this state a
lucrative one for some of the incum-
bents in the past, will be put an end
to as the result of the opinion Of the
attorney generals Office that county
sheriffs have no right to make profit
from the feeding Of prisoners, are not
authorized to make contracts with the
county for feeding prisoners in their
charge or TO make profit from feed
ing prisoners in their charge temper
arily by the federal government. The
opinion saws that the county commits
sioners are the contracting agents OF
the county, that the sheriff cannot
make contracts and that it any are en-
tered into with the federal authorities
they must be made through the com
missioners.

circular calling on all the commercial

that citizens Of this state should cor

Letters from Washington's repre-
sentatives in Congress to Gov. Lister
indicates that it will probably be nee
essary for the governor to call special
session of the legislature to legalize the
election of United States Senator a
year and half from now. The states
congressman and senators, however,
promise they will make every effort to
secure from Congress a measure to
obviate the necessity Of the expected
special session.

LOS ANGELES, June IA gem eral reduction in the class ireignt rates between Los Angeles and Arr zona and New Mexico points, which means that jobbers and merchants oi this city will now be placed on al equitable competing basis with thoso of Fl Paso, Denver and Kansas City for the business Of this vast district, was announced yesterday at the local offices Of the Santa Fe and South ern Pacific railroads.
 The new tariff sche&ule comes as result of a long and determined fight on the part of the Associated Jobbers Of Los Angeles. While the reduction is not based on a ruling of the interstate commerce commis sion, it is stated that the new sched' uIes were determined on at the sHs gestion Of Franklin K. Lane before he quit the national commission for Wilson's cabinet. and forestalls such a ruling
 The reduced rates go into eHesi July i5. and after thas date. the io' cal wholesale merchant shipping canned goods and sugar. or other ar ticles coming under classification No. of the class rates. will be rc- ouired to pay but 99 cents per hun dred on a shipment to Phoenix, CT Prescott.

 Southern California fruit and vese- tables shipped to kingman. Afi<oIla' will require the payment Of freight rates Of SS cents a hundred pounds, while the Los Angeles produce deal CT now pays si2i.
 These are but specific instances or the saving that will be made in all lines of freight shipped to points east of Imperial Junction in California and as far east as allup, New hexic9-
 The reduction affects every ship ming point on the Southern Pacihc through Arizona. and on the Arizona Eastern branch of the read, whieh leaves the main line at Maricopa.

RECALL ID DUST
 JUDGE PHILLIPS
Alleged Favoritism of Mari copa Superior Court Jurist to Corporations is Burden of the Protestants.

PHOENIX. June. 1S-Alleging that John '. Phillips. superior court judge of Maricopa county. has proved him self incompetent and that in the past few months he has refused to permit justice to pass upon issues of fact before his court and also that he seems to favor the man of wealth and the corporation as against the working man, petitions were circu' lated for the first time this afternoon for his recall,
 Since the time of the action ofJudge Phillips in the superior court when he took the case Of Joseph Strink5r against the Ray Consolidated Copper company from the jury ana ordered 8 verdict in the defendants favor there have been rumors of a recall petition being circulated. The men behind the movement did not at once take steps toward organizing the petition until several days ago and they are just off the press today.
 Five thousand three hundred and fifty votes were cast for the two can didates in the fall of 1911, which would necessitate chat the petition have the signatures of i0l0 quailhed electors in order to put the maculhe of the recall in action.
 The movement is based upon three concrete cases which have been before the Maricopa court in the past lew months. The first case was that of La Pointe against Edward Wells and Thelkeld. the contractor. In the case .Tudge Wells. who is a Prescott banker, and one of the wealthiest men m the state of Arizona, was excused Dy me court from any liability n the ease
 The second case was that Of nlal whose boy was electrocuted Dy a HHt wire. against the Mesa lmnroFei'len' eompsny. In this case also tne couf toDk the case also away from the iury and ordered a verdict in iaYoI oi inc defendant company.
