GAME LAW CHANCES
VIA THE INITIATIVE

Important changes in the state
game laws are proposed by initiative
petition 10 be filed in the office OF
The secretary of state with the re-
quest that the same be submitted on
the official ballot to be voted at the
November election.
The proposed legislation contains
amendments in the existing laws ia
vored by C. NJ. Willard, state game
warden.
Among the important provisions are
the following:
Open season for deer from October
/ TO November l, and bag limit one
deer instead of two.
Open season for wild turkeys. Oc-
tober 1 to November l, bag limit two
instead OF three, as before.
The season for ducks, geese, coots,
rail and larger shore birds, shall be
October Is TO January 81, bag limit
twenty birds in one day instead of
twenty-five.
Seasons for dove and white wings
shall be July Is to December 81, bag
limit not exceeding twenty-five birds
in one day.
The measure proposes a residents
license OF SIPS instead of so cents
to fish with hook and line and to
munt, and a non-resident's license of
$50 for the same purpose. There are
also a number of other provisions in
the interest of affording better pro
lection to the fish and game Of the
state.

cAENoT CHANGE AFFiLIkTIoN
AFTER ONCE REGISTERED

According 10 an opinion handed
down by Wiley F. Jones, attorney
general. those who have registered
for the fail primaries no party" must
let that classification stand. Since
the registration opened there has
been considerable question as to the
right of a prospective voter TO de-
clare his politics one way and then
to change that declaration.
The following COPY Of a letter to
James F. Mcdonald, Secretary of the
Cochise county Democratic central
committe, and has also been received
by County Recorder owen Z. Murphy,
explains the matter and is a warning
to those who desire TO register from
this time on.
Do not register certain politics IN

STATE TO GET IT'S SHARE
OF THE GRAND CANYON

PHOENIX. May3l.-Attorney Gen
eral Wiley Z. Jones made the import
ant announcement last night, that AZ
theopportune time. accompanied by
State Land Commissioner Moeur and
State Engineer Lamar Cobb, he would
go to Washington and there take up
with the secretary OF agriculture ana
the president the question Of
setting aside toWnsite Tor the
state OF Arizona on the rim OF the
Grand Canyon.
Jones and MoeuT have been work
ing on this plan for some time. Think
ing that the Santa Fe would attempt
10 block any move that they might
make to this end. they have kept the
matter a profound secret. The rail
road became acquainted with the plan
and had bill introduced into con
gress putting the canyon under park
commission. This would have block
ed the plan OF Jones 10 give Arizona
its share OF the park Through siren
uous efforts on the part of the Ari-
IONA officials, the bill was side track
ed in congress
When in Washington on a visit some
months ago the attorney general
interviewed Secretary Houston cc :Ac
subject an dsecured his promise of
cooperation. Jones outlined his plan
Of setting aside a township there,
building state highway up to it,
come cling with the transcnntinantal
highway, and secured the hearty en-
dorsement OF the secretary.
Mr. Houston explained at that time
that the president had made three ex-
ecuJive orders, one setting aside the
canyon as a game preserve. another
as forest preserve and the other as
national park in oredr to get the
township set aside, ii will not there
fore be necessary TO get an act Of
congress. but simply an order OF the
president vacating these orders for
thar district
Il the plan succeeds, IN the opinion
of Mr. Jones. it will give Arizona its
share Of the canyon, and without any
cost 10 the state The Santa Fe has
heretofore controlled practically ev-
cry approach TO the great park, hav-
ing almost monopoly. The setting
aside Of a township for the state
would almost break this. It would be
a great advertisement for the state,
in that tourists coming across the
country in machines could drive
straight to the rim on a well CON
s,Tucted state highway.
State Engineer Cobb has drawn a
map Of the district tC be asked for by
the state, and will present it to Sec
rotary Houston and the president,
whenever they are notified that those
TWO officials are ready 10 listen 10
their proposition.
