SMALLER FEES.
 RECOMMENDED
Recorder Vaughn of This County Believes That a Reduction of Fifty Per Cent. Should Be Made in Fees in His Office.

The remarks of Thomas D. Molloy of Yuma in The Republican of yesterday in criticism of the management of of fees of county recorders should not be madeS to apply to the office of this county Mir Molloy charged that fees were too high; that they were twice as high as they are in adjacent counties in California; that Arizona recorders though they do not keep the fees but are paid salaries, are opposed to d re- duction of the fees as they desire that their offices may make the best pos sible showing and that they may em- ploy more attaches.
 Recorder Vaughn of this county has urged a reduction of the fees. He recommended such a reduction to mem bers of the last two legislatures and in his last two annual reports he said on this subject:
 T believe that no office should be used as a course of revenue for the county, but that when such office be- comes more than self-supporting that the fees be reduced approximately, and that in the case of this office very sub stantial reduction in fees can and should be made.
 "I am firmly of the opinion that a 5O per cent reduction of the recording fees could and should be made, and shall recommend such a measure 70 the next state legislature and strongly urge it's passage"
 In 1913 the fees collected in the of flee of this county amounted to s25,- 073.S7. The total expenses of the of flee for that year amounted to $l2,- 747.33 a very little more than half the receipts. The following year which was not a good year for fees the re- ceipts amounted to a little more than S21.OOO. That year being an election year. the expenses were heavier for supplies and stationery, amounting to a little more than $1300O leaving though, a net profit of more than SS. 0OO
 Speaking yesterday Of this mater. Mir Vaughn said that while this and perhaps one or two other counties were making more out of the recorders of flee than should be made. in some of the smaller counties the offices, even with the present scale of fees were not self-supporting.
 In this county the profits of the of flee are certain to increase from year to year though in some of the counties  increases may not be looked for and in such counties the fees could not be reduced except by placing more of the burden upon taxpayers at large The matter might be met in another way, by prescribing the fees that should be charged by counties according to the classes to which they belong. That could be very easily arranged since there are now in Arizona as many classes as there are counties.
 As to the employment of clerks in the recorders office of this county, there are not as many now as there were several years ago, as far back as when the annual receipts were only s10,000- Though the business is much heavier, labor and time saving devices in the shape of book type writers have been introduced so that one clerk may do as much as was formerly done by three.

VALLEY DA|RYMEN
 ABOUT TO ORGANIZE
The Main Purpose Is to Meet Re
 qurements of the Law

A meeting of the dairymen of the valley and the creamery men of the city, embracing all dairy interests in the valley will meet at the superior court room tomorrow morning at $500 o'clock for the purposes of consulting with the state chemist, Dr. c. A. Meserve and for forming a dairy mems association. the object being to arrive at a standard of milk and milk products in conformity to the law.
 A preliminary meeting with this object in view was held last Satur- day. Within the last two or three weeks warrants have been issued for more than a half dozen dairymen and dealers in dairy products on charges of violating the state laws. In some cases adulteration was charged; in others, it was claimed that sanitary regulations were neglected and in still others, that the products fell short of the butterfat requirement.
 These cases were all brought be- fore Justice Parker and one of them was tried last Friday and taken un- der adVisement. If an association is formed with the understanding that it's members will undertake the forcement of the law it is probable that the cases will be dismissed.

devices for the kitchen and laundry. favored the cooperation or a com bination for foreign trade expansion, but specified that such combinations should be on "paralleF' and not com petitive lines.
 This view was supported by other witnesses interested in trade marked the witnesses favored the view of Stoddard Jess, another banker, who declared the antitrust laws should be cleared up or amended so that manu- lecturers might make agreements to push foreign trade in all lines at the minimum of cost.
 Jess suggested as a model the Ca lifornia Fruit Growers Exchange which seeks out markets and Sells annually an average of fifty thousand cars of citrus fruits. At the invitation of G. Harold Powell manager of the exchange, the members of the com mission before their departure for San Diego tonight, inspected the pack ing houses of the fruit growers and examined the methods of cooperation in marketing.
 Powell was also a witness. and the commission expressed a doubt that American fruit growers would ever be able to compete with foreign mar kets, owing to the low cost of pro- duction in Spain, Italy and other countries.

PREMIUM
 ON FIRST FORD REBATE
Holder of Lucky Check Was J. c.
 Jayne

The extra bonus offered by The Arizona Republican for the first re- bate check was claimed yesterday at ten minutes after one o'clock by J. C. Jayne. WEo lives at the corner of Park and Homewood Roads. Jayne beat it. for The Republican office the moment he found the Ford check in his mail, but his great rush up the street was not necessary, for ap- parently few other if any of the 300 rebate checks due to Phoenix Ford buyers have been received here, as he was the only, as well as the first, to report here yesterday.
 Jayne's check is number 10S1 of the special Ford rebate series, and as he purchased his machine the first week in August last year, it is evi- dent that the rebates are being mailed out in the same order as the sales were made. The check is ot interesting design, the entire back ground being a reproduction of a portion of the Ford factory with one days output of cars grouped near it.

that the banks would have ample resources to extend to the producers such accommodations that they would be able to carry cotton in their ware houses for a reasonable length of time until it can be markete advan- tageously. In order to accomplish this, he said ue rat oual an3 state banks which are members of the federal reserve system should make loans on warehouse receipts for in- sured cotton at low rates of interest, and that the banks can well afford to carry cotton for the producers at six sper cent, especially if able to rediscoUnt the cotton paper at feder- al reserve banks at a much lower rate than six per cent, that the credit resources of the banks of the country are greater than ever be- fore in their history, and that there is no reason why the banks should not, in cooperation with the mer- chants of the south, help the cot ton producers with loans at low rates in the present peculiar situa- ton.

Reports Contradictory

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-"Naval circles call attention to the remarkable con tradiction in English press reports regarding the Arabic" says the over seas News Agency in an item given out.
 one report says the passengers and crew received life belts when the steamer entered the danger zone, and this statement is declared as nonsen- sical because it was pointed out that vessel leaving Liverpool, is at Cnce in the danger zone. However the distribution of life belts, it is argued, admits of the conclusion that the steamers captain obeying the admiralty's orders. and spurred on by a high money reward, intended to ram the submarine as soon as sighted. Other reports state eX- plicitly that no submarine -or torpedo was sighted, permitting the assump- tion that the ship was struck by a loose mine, all this showing the necessity of awaiting an official report
 The Deutsche Tages- -Zeitung says editorially: If it is true that German submarine destroyed the Arabic and that American citizens were thereby accidentally drowned, this is fresh justification of German warnings to foreigners not to enter the war zone on board British ships, and Germany's advice is that they use neutral ships instead.
 Tt is extremely regrettable,'' the Tages-Zeitung adds, that the United States has entirely disregarded Ger manys warnings, and has tried by threats to cause Germany to give up submarine warfare, which is an i'm . possibility. This is doubtless the un- animous contention of the German nation"

It was said the state de- partment must not necessarily wait indefinitely on Germany before taking whatever action is decided upon, neither does it intend to invite or encourage argument. All it wants now are facts.
