PROVO. Jan. 5.-The following repor
FOR 1913 has been submitted TO the coun

The work in the county recorders
office for the year 1913 SHOWS some
increase over that OF 1912, and in
comparing other years with the year
1913 a gradual increase in the work
Of the office is shown. In 1912 there
were filed for record 5f09 instru-
mcnts, while in 1913 there Were fled
5000 Instruments.
The work Of plating the new inter
urban railroad and the Utah rail-
way right of way through the coun-
" has nccessitated some additional
work along this line, and II has been
done, also, q some disadvantage, for
the reason that neither OF said roads
has as yet filed right -ot-way maps.
We have undertaken a new copy of
the land Indexes. which requires an
additional copyist THIS work has
now covered township 4 south. ranges

To avoid erroneous descriptions
getting into the records and thus
causing conflicts, membranes and
expense to land owners which under
the present system continues, I most
respectfully recommend that capa-
bic person be employed whose special
business il shall be to examine all
descriptions and plat same before

Change Is Needed.

This decision is of the greatest i'm
portancc to the militia as well as 10 the
government because few. if any. OF the
state national guard organizations are
now able to meet the requirements, and
IL the government rs 10 be able TO
make use of the militia in an emer-
gency there must be a sweeping change
in the state organizations or radical
modification Of the existing militia
law.
When the Dick military act became
effective in 1908 period of five years
was allowed within WHICH the militia of
thc states was to reofganiZe TO con
form to regular army standards. In
most states excellent results were Sc
cured in the improved training of the
militiamen and the better equipment
of tnc guard But one important re-
quiremcnt was ignored. because I'M
mediate compliance with 1T was not IN
sisted on by the war department. That
was the state militia should be organ
lied into brigades and divisions
The brigade was to be commanded
bv a bragadier general and the division
bv major general. and when the war
department last August issued Circular
No. g. requiring the militia organiza-
tions TO conform TO the above rcqnire-
ment, il developed the fact that there
was a great surDlusage Of high ranking
officers in the militia and that major
generals were commanding mere
brigades and brigadier generals simple
regiments.
Enforcement Of the circular would re-
auire many Of these officers to lose
their high rank. unless they were able
10 recruit the rank and file sufficient.
lv to fill up the gaps in the organiza-
tions.
The National Guard association flat
lv refused 10 comply with this require
ncnt on the ground there is not suffi-
cieut authority in law for defining the
organization of the brigadcs and the
divisions, and that inasmuch as il has
been physically impossible to secure
these organizations IN the United
States army, and as like conditions in
many states make il also physically i'm
possible for these states to comply with
the provisions Of the circular the
secretary OF war was requested TO re-
woke the circular.
Judge Advocate General Crowder,
ruling OH the legal point raised by tho
association. fully sustains the right of
ne war department TO issue the cir
rnIar and points ont that the secretary
Of war himself had no longer authority
10 suspend the application Of this re-
quiremeDt. Secretary Garrison has
adopted this view III publishing the
opinion.
The decision concludes that the state
authorities would he warranted IN mus
iering out either Il major general or a
brigade general and their staff if they
were without the necessary number Of
men TO compose n division or a brigade.
