Fees Unconstitutional

Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. 5.-In
winning his suit against Mohave
county in the supreme court, the
opinion in which was handed
down today, Frank L. Hunt, as
SCISSOR of Mohave county, has
stirred up a regular hornets nest
of trouble that affects every
county officer in the state who
has received more money nnder
the classification Of counties act
of 1912 than he would have re-
ceived under the salary act of
1901 and must account to the
counties for those sums and those
who have not received the same
amount as they wonld have un-
der the 1901 act will have some
money coming, for the court has
declared the 1912 act, under
which the state has operated for
nearly five years unconstitutional

England pleased at action
taken by United States gov
eTnment against Germany.


Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 5.-The
senate passed the anti-gambling
bill. which prohibits all known
games and devices, for money or
its equivalent. 1t defeated in
committee of the whole bill ap-
propriating 100000 for the
completion of the capitol building
and set itself against aid in
bridge building except where
that is incident to the improve
ment of state highways.
The most important new bill
introduced was:
Winsor, of Yuma, an irrigation
measure authorizing the state to
take advantage of the federal
law providing for the inclusion
Of entered and non-entered public
lands in state irrigation projects;
to take advantage of the pending
Smith, Cumberland bill and pro-
for the establishment of
irrigation districts within federal
reclamation projects.

Stake Conference.

This Saturday and Sunday is
Stake conference time. Aside
from the importance of the con-
ference, much interest is added
to the occasion because of the
completion of the repair work on
the Stake House.
The Snowflake Stake House
was erected during the year 1884.
It is built of brick burned here
from Snowflake red clay.
When it was decided to repair
the building expert architects
were employed to examine the
structure as to it's saftey, etc.,
and it was pronounced safe.
A number of tie-rods have
been placed in the building in
order to hold it intact. The
wood work has been overhauled
and repainted. A hotblast heating
plant and a choir stage have
been added.

1t appears to be a game Of
freeze-Out. Spain objects.


Ten months after Gen Pershine
and his army crossed into Mexico
after the bandit Villa, he re-
crossed back into the u. S., and
Villa occupied the Pershing quar-
ters vacated in Mexico. Thus
another chapter in American
history has been closed, and like
the Vera Cruz incident, fruitless
and extremely costly.
Thus once more, a ruler of a
great nation was forced to
abandon his war chase after an
individual. Like in the case of
Huarta, an Individual, the war
was fruitless.
No doubt but what it is the
first time in the history of the
world when a war was waged
against individuals, Huerta and
Villa.
All honor to Pershing and his
brave men. They performed
their duty and had not official
Washington, with its Grape Juice
Policy, interferred, Villa would
long ago been dispatched to his
happy hunting grounds"
Just when Pershing was about
to snatch his game, Haiti"
Came the command. Since that
time Villa has recovered from
his wounds and organized an
army of bandits and today his
power is stronger than ever.
Next time Official Washington
sees fit to chase an individual
may the order be called off be-
fore reaching the stage of action,
and thus save many lives of u.
S. soldiers and a mint Of money.

Grand Canyon

A bill is now before Congress
to create a National Park of
Arizona's Grand Canyon, and
has a good chance to be passed.
Heretofore bills to create a
National Park of the Grand
Canyon have embraced too much
territory and smacked too much
of graft. Now, the bill purposes
to take in only the Grand Canyon.
It will create graft enough, as it
is proposed.

In childhood when we wanted
fun or any kind Of pleasure we
didn't have to run and get the
shiny treasure. We did not need
the filthy dough, nor did we miss
It's jingle, but everywhere we
wished to go were friends with
whom we'd mingle. We dined
with them and they with us;
held dances in the garret and
never had to make fuss and
dig the dough to square it. Some
one would play a lively jar while
others called the changes. We
didn't even want to bar the
cowboy from the ranges. And
all would have jolly time with
out bill to render. We didn't
have to dig a dime or change a
legal tender. But now the cry
is Give us dough. We've got
to have some pleasure" but
ev'rywhere you choose to go,
hey part you from your treasure.
We've got to have a thousand
things that yesterday was hidden
(ices and cars and diamond rins)
while bills arrive unbidden.
