 Potentate Christy wires that the Yuma members of the Shrine have wagered that a candidate to be se- lected from Phoenix cannot drinN nine barrels of Colorado river water and live and that the contest, if it can be so called is sure to be en- tertaining to all but the candidate.
 The slide into the river is nice and slick. the mud is sticky, the sun is hot, likewise the sands. the candidates hides, are thin after win ter months spent in doors and the fun is ready to break out and en- velop the Nobles.

TAX COMMISSION
 HAS GIVEN II UP
Status of Stored Liquors Put Up to Attorney General Wiley Jones by
 Taxing Board

Whether stocks of liquor stored in Arizona are subject to taxation and are to he listed for that purpose is the question that the state tax commission, after asking itself several times has decided to leave to the attorney gen. eral.
 The problem of what to do with the man who has his cellar fortified against a long dry spell was put up to the commission by the assessors of various counties. and after carefully consider ing the matter the following facts stared the commissioners in the face:
 Liquor is property, and undoubtedly has a value.
 But, there Is no legal market for il in this state.
 Suppose a man refused to pay taxes on his stock. could it be sold for taxes Not in Arizona.
 Both seller and buyer would be liable to arrest.
 And vet, it must have some value In fact, many people consider this liquor worth more than it ever was
 It could be replaced now for what it cost. It could not be replaced le- gally at any price.
 Therefore the question is up to the Hon. Wiley E.. Jones. attorney general

 provides for the presentation of veri-
 fled claims for the salaries and eX- penses provided for in the act, and for the drawing of warrants for the amounts of such salaries and expenses,
 and the payment of the same by the treasurer out Of the general fund. It seems clear to me that the language of said Paragraph 4579 does not now include the salaries paid out of the ap
 propriations of Eighteen Thousand Dollars (S1S,GG0.00) and Forty eight Hundred Dollars ($4S0OOO) under Para graphs 4575 and 4576: that said appro-

 members of the land commission and the chief clerk of said commission are exhausted, but that such limit is not placed upon the appropriation out of the general fund for other clerical ser

COMMISSION MAY YET
(Continued From Page One)

State Land Commission is a per
 manent commission with certain duties
 specifically set forth in Paragraph 4567
 of said Chapter 1, and is clothed with
 certain authority and powers to be ex-
 ercised, until otherwise provided by
 ;aw," as therein eXpressed but that
 the three members constituting said
 'State Land Commission as mentioned
 in said Paragraph 4563 shall hold office
 until the adjournment of the next
 reguI&r session of the legislature While
 the terms of office of the three mem-
 hers therein referred to ceased at the
 close of the 11th day of the present
 month, the state land commission most
 certainly was not abolished without
 legislative act to that effect. simply be-
 cause the terms of office of the three
 members thereof terminated on said date.
 It is a general principle of law that every officer must continue to dis charge the duties of his office. although his term has expired. until his success sor has qualified" and such is the ex- press language of Paragraph 160 of the Revised Statutes of Arizona 1913. I will add also that Section l3 of Article XXI of the state constitution reads as follows:
 '"rhe term of office of every offi- cer to be elected or appointed under the constitution or the laws of Arizona shall extend until his successor shall | be elected and shall qualify"
 l and according to the decisions of nu- merous courts, the word "elected' in 1 the closing portion of said Section. in- 1 cludes the preceding words elected or appointed" in said Section. The fore 1 going constitutional and statutory pro- visions exist not for the especial benefit l of the occupant of the public office but for the benefit of the public. and | that the interests of the public may be conserved and protected.

Bearing of Excavations in Ancient Cities on Bible History Effectively Shown in Illustrated Lecture by Dr. Banks

Modern discoveries in ancient Babylonia and their bearing on Bible history held the close atten- tion of 600 men and women at the Columbia theater yesterday after noon when Dr. Edgar J. Banks, the archaeologist, delivered his illustrat- ed lecture on "The Bible and the Spade.'
 Starting with views taken on his trip across the Arabian desert. Dr. Banks carried the large audience with him to the ancient city of Bagdad on the Tigris river, and then on to the ruined cities of the Mesopotamian plain. After outlin- ing the process by which a large and prosperous city becomes in the course of a few hundred years only mound of ruins, Dr. Banks took his hearers to the ruins of Nineveh opposite Mosul. and showed the method in which the excavations there were made.
 Palaces of Bible kings, monuments of their victories over the children of Israel. and libraries containing thousands of tablets were unearthed by Dr. Banks during the course of his excavations in the ruined cities of the plain. Among the features Cf the lecture was the showing of the picture of the "white David" the oldest statue in the world, dating hack to 450O B. c. This statue was found by pr. Banks in his excava- ton of Bismya.
 The lecture was greatly appreciat ed by a large number of Bible teachers and workers of the city, as well as by many not directly en- gagged in religious work. Dr. Banks address was the third of the Sunday afternoon series for men being coll ducted under the direction of the Y. N. C. A.

Three Thousand Dollars ($3,U0G.00
 chief clerk of said land commission is
 fixed at not more than Two Hundred
 Dollars (S200.00) per month; and Para
 graphs 4575 and 4576 of said Chapter
 1, Title XLIII make an appropriation
 of Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($1S,-
 G0000) out of the general fund to pay
 the salaries of the members of the state
 land commission, and Forty eight Hun
 dred Dollars ($4,SOO.O0) for the salary
 Of the said chief clerk for the period
 commencing March 15, 1913 and end ing at the close of the next regular session of the legislature" which ses- sion of the legislature has just closed. Even though the members of said state land commission be holding over'' and legally in office under the provisions Of the statute and of the state constitution, and performing the duties Of their offices, as well as the said chief clerk under employment it seems manifest that the special ap- propriation for their salaries is at an end
 The special duties imposed and con- ferred upon the state land commission as such, under said Paragraph 4567 and other Paragraphs of said Chapter l 1. Title XLIII, in the matter of permits and leases of state lands, and the oc cupancy Of the same, are such as are ] embraced in Article X of the state 1 consultation entitled State and School I.ands." and are of grave importance 1 to the people of the state of Arizona
 The duties of said board of land com | missioners provided for in said Chap | ter 1, and of which board the mem-
 bers of the said state land commission form part, are set forth therein; and Paragraph 4565 of said Chapter 1 pro- | vides that said board of commission

cluding the maintenance of the office, books and other re cords.
 It is plain to me that the intent of the first state legislature in the pas sage of said Chapter l, Title ALlll' with all that it contains. was to meet the requirements of Article x of the state constitution entitled. state and School Lands" as well as the provi- sions of the Enabling Act admitting Arizona to statehood and donatinS to the new state of Arizona the large amount of lands therein mentioheu' and that it was tlHe intention' Of said legislature that all the provisions or said Chapter 1. Titla XLIII should re- main in force until succeeded by some other statutory legislative act. Con- siderins the vast interests of-tlle state of Arizona involved. it seems to me im-
 possible to place any other construc-
 tion upon said Chapter reading It throughout.
 In placing no limit Of time upon the
 appropriation mentioned in Paragr2p pm
 4577, it seems that it was plainly the
 intent of the legislature that the neces- sarv expenses therein provided for were imperative in caring for the interests of
 the state of Arizona in the matter of the vast acreage of lands involved. Therefore shall recommend that the expenses referred to in said Paragraph 4577 and the appropriation made Tor the same therein. be regularly paid Tn ac- oordance with the provisions Of Para graph 4579. upon the presentation ot the verified claims for such salaries and expenses as provided in sald last named paragraph, until the legislature by statute shall otherwise direct, and that warrants therefor may be legally drawn.

All Now in Readiness for Great Architectural and Decorative Exposition at First and Polk Streets Tomorrow

Automobiles, motorcycles, accessor- = ;es, building supplies, architectural and decorative displays, baby show, plumb ing show, used car exhibition, and good music have all been combined to make the great Automobile and Architectural exposition at the First Battalion ar mory one of the most striking and suc- cessful shows that has ever been planned for this city. That it will be an eye opener to all is the concensus of those who have so far visited the big building on Polk and First streets. Such a visit has discovered some six teen men at work preparing for the event The great floor space has been divided to accomodate' many diversi- lied displays, the rooms contiguous have been requisitioned for the purpose cf the better displaying certain further interesting exhibits for which wall space is necessary. and then the gall lery will be the throne from which a number of PhoeniXs best will send down sweet strains to the intense en- loyment of those who attend the show.
 Although it is not expected to open the show until Tuesday, yesterday when operations were concluded for the days the architectural and decorative displays were in place, a large part of the decorations for the baby show were completed. the festOOning and division of the floor for the cars was done. and today will be given over largely to getting the rest of the exhibits into place. There are not as many more of these as might be expected from the enumeration of them, but still there are sufficient to keep the force busy today, and then tomorrow-the show.
 Entry cards for the baby show can be obtained at Berryhilrs store. The sooner the entries are in, the easier it will be to make that portion of the show a great success.

 graph also provides that the employees of the land commission shall receive such salary as may be provided by law, and not to exceed Two Hundred Dol lars (s2OOOO) per month for the chief clerk of said commission, nor more than One Hundred Dollars (s100.0O) per month fer any other employee
 Under Paragraph 4569 of said Chap ter the governor the attorney general, and the chairman of the board of land commissioners (WhO is also chairman of the state land commission), are des- ignated the board by law to file upon, select and cause to be surveyed lands
 for the state thus selected under the
 Arizona Enabling Act Thus it will be
 seen that one member of the land com i mission, to-wit the chairman, is a
 member of the statutory board to select 1 the public lands for the state. This
 statute is in accordance with the Ari-
 zona Enabling Act.

TAKEN IN EAST OF AUTO PARTY
 BEAT THEM TO CITY
Party of Hardy Autoists See Faces On Screen When They Arrive
 Here on Way to Coast

It takes two months, one week and five days for moving pictures of oneself taken in New York city to catch up with you, when You are travelling by auto across the cOnti- nent in winter time. That fact was demonstrated by party composed of Stanley James, R. G. LeMat, Miss Margaret Gale and Sig G. Boren- stein who arrived in Phoenix last night and wandered into the Lion and found their faces and machines being thrown on the screen through the medium of the Mutual Weekly.
 Borenstein is representative of the Colonial Film Co.,. of Washing ton D. C., and Miss Gale is an ac- tress in the employ of that com pany. She wished to have the honor of being the first woman to have the hardihOOd to cross the continent in winter time. Accordingly the two cars. a National and Stutz, were fitted up for winter travel and the party left New York on Jan. 9.
 All kinds of weather and roads have been encountered. In the east the snow made travelling at times 'prohibitive, but the little party push ed their high powered machines through whenever an opening was found. In the Adirondacks, they reach ed the top of a mountain one night and had the extreme pleasure of coasting down the other side on a sheet of ice covering it. Only the soft snow at the bottom of the moun- tain side. saved the cars from des- truction.. The entire descent was made sideways, the ears being at no time under the control of the drivers.
 In Kansas. the mud was the worst thing struck. At one place it took them F hours to make five miles. and 15 days were taken up in making the entire distance across the state.
 One of the party stated last night that the best roads they have struck so far have been in Arizona, though the season of the year was against the roads of the east
 The two cars have stood the test well, but if the trip was to be made "S"ih' hSHteI cars Wouiu De used, the heaVy cars being too much of a bur den to eXcavate at times.
 The part wis tanned and weather beaten from the stiff winds and cold weather endured. Clothes that would be a credit to an artic explorer are carried, to ward off the extreme cold passed through. They will stay here today. going then to the coast. to take in the exposition.
