MAINTENANCE OF
 PRISON AFFECTED

PHOENIX, July 15.-That the ap- propriation for the maintenance of the state prison is among those af- fected by the governors veto of the repeating clauses of the appropria- ton bill is the decision reached by State Auditor J. C. Callaghan after careful examination as 10 the scope of one of the sections vetoed by the governor. Immediately upon his de cision the auditor advised Superin- tendent Sims of the prison that no claims under the new appropriation bill would be honored until the mat ter had been passed upon by the courts, and advised him to assign a : claim to Jesse Boyce, secretary of the tax commission in order that the question might be settled without the necessity of separate litigation.
 The discovery that the prison ap- propriation is likely to be affected by the governors veto was made while the various sections disapproved were being checked over. Section l7, which is the one relating to the con struction of power line to Flor ence contains five sub-sections. At the end of the third subsection there is inserted a clause, which after pre- scribing how the money shall be paid, provides that The above ap- propriations are made Yn lieu of the appropriations made in Part III, Title 1, Revised Statutes of Arizona 1913, penal code" This clause was originally at the close of section Y, which consisted of but three sub sections. Later these were stricken out by the committee, and five sub sections substituted.
 The clause repeating the statutory appropriations did not appear in the copy of the bill furnished the state auditor by the committee. and it was only in checking over the provisions vetoed that the discrepancy was not ed. A certified copy was then pro cured from the office of the secre tary of state, and the repeating clause which the auditor holds affects both sections 16 and Y was discovered after subsection C where it had evi- dently been placed by mistake by the enrolling and expressing committee.
 The appropriation for the mainten- ance of the state prison amounts to approximately $S5OOO per year and was one of the most important items carried by the appropriation bill.
 Among the provisions of Part III, Title 1, which the legislature sought to repeal are those relating to the salaries of the superintendent of the prison, the assistant superintendent, the chaplains, secretary and physi- clan. Part III also defines and pro- vides for the administration of the prison fund.
 Secretary Jesse Boyce of the tax commission, in whose name the ap. plication is to be made for a writ of mandamus against State Auditor i Callaghan looked even more like J. Rufus Wallingford last night He had received during the day some s, 800, making almost $20,000 in as signed claims. One Of those turned in yesterday was for $3OOO, for the investigation of water supply.
