Washington.-The largest naval ap-
preparation bill in the history of the
United States, carrying authorization
for the expenditure of approximately
1851 900, 900, has been approved by the
naval committee It's passage is as
sured. The present bill is $44,OOO,OOO
greater than last years bill which up
until that time was twice as great as
any naval bill ever offered to Con-
gress of the United States. The forti-
fication bill, carrying total of more
than $51,OO0,OOO for coast defenses,
was passed.
The army appropriation bill, the
third element of the administrators
$SOO,0OO,OO0 defense program, still is
in the House military committee,
which is expected to complete it next
week. Estimates for the army reach
total of more than $360,000,000, ex-
elusive of numerous deficiency meas
ures resulting from the border mobil-
ization and the rising cost of war ma
terials.
The navy bill contains provision TOR
the construction of three battleships
at about $28,OOO,OOO each; one battle
cruiser at $26,0OO,000; three scout
cruisers at $9,OOO,OOO each; fifteen de-
stroyers at $1,7O0,OOO each; one de-
stroyer tender, $2,3O0,OO0; one subma"
rine tender, $1,9OO,O0O; eighteen 800
ton coast submarines at $1,3OO,OO0
each.
The committee also needed Secre-
tary Daniels recommendation that
navy yards be fitted to build large
numbers of capital ships; authorizing
the expenditure of an additional $12,-
100000 for that purpose in the event
the department is unable to make sat
isfactory contracts for any vessel in
the present bill or left over from the
preceding measure. This would make
available a total of $18,00O,OO0 for
equipping navy yards. For the three
scout cruisers still awaiting satisfac-
tory bids, the committee raised the
cost for hull and machinery to &c.
100000 from $5,000,000.
The building program will not re-
quire nearly so much money as was
required in last years bill, but num-
Der of new things have been added
and some increases have been made in
old items. One increase of interest
is in the appropriation for aircraft,
which is increased from $3,500,000 to
$5,133,OOO To aid the recruiting serv-
ice, the committee has voted into the
bill an item of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of an automobile for each Of the
fifty-three recruiting stations.

CAMPBELL IS GOVERNOR
THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES
AGAINST HUNT.
Office Surrendered Without Writ
From Court After Decree-Justice
Cunningham Dissents.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Phoenix, Ariz.-The Arizona Su-
preme Court returned decision
holding that Thomas E. Campbell is
the de facto governor of Arizona.
1t was signed by Justices Franklin
and Ross, Justice Cunningham sub
mitting dissenting opinion. The ma
jority opinion holds that the certifi-
cate of election issued to Campbell is
prima facie evidence of his election
and that Lee is therefore de facto gov
ernor. The court issued no writ stat
ing it's. belief that Governor Hunt
would surrender the office.
In the dissenting opinion Justice
Cunningham opposed the writ on the
ground that mandamus was not the
proper remedy, two others being at
hand, proceedings in quo warranto
and the contest now pending. He fur
ther opposed the granting of the writ
on the ground that Mr.. Campbell is
de factO state tax commissioner, hav-
ing been elected two years ago for a
term of four years and that he has
not resigned that office. If the con-
test should result in favor of Gov
ernor Hunt, according to Justice Cum
ningham, Mr.. Campbell would be in
the position of having held two offices
at the same time in violation of the
law.
Quoting from High on "Extraordi-
nary Legal Remedies" Justice Cum
ningham holds that the effect of the
writ of mandamus is to place two gov.
ernors in office.
AS to the contention of Justice Gun
ningham that as tax commissioner
Mr.. Campbell is ineligible to hold the
office of governor, the majority opin-
ion holds that "a tax commissioner is
not prohibited from holding any other
position of trust or profit during his
term of office, but the effect Of the
provision of the statute is that if a
member of the commission does so, he
by that very act vacates his office as
tax commissioner
