County Classification
The most important event in the
committee of the whole was the con-
sideration of the substitute for the
Mattox county classification bill diff
fering from the original in that 1t pro-
vides four instead of five classes Of
counties, based on the assessed Valu
alton of the counties. The early dis
cussiOn of the bill made ii clear that
it was going to occupy a great deal of
time and involve much difficulty in
reaching an agreement on county SAL
aries. 1t was therefore decided to de-
vote only an hour each day to it and
submit 1t for a settlement of the sal
aries feature to select committee with
which a committee composed of men,
bers. one from a county of each of the
proposed classes will confer. The
former committee will consist of
Messrs. Winsor. Campbell and Claridge
and the latter committee. of Messrs.
Suffer, Whipple, Ferguson and Golfer.
The part of the bill relating to the
salaries of state officers was taken up.
The committee agreed upon an increase
of the salary of the attorney general
from $500 to $4,000; of the salary OF
the governor to $4,000 and of the jus
t1ces of the supreme court. 10 $4,000.

CARELESS WORD
MAY IMP |CATE
MORE IN CRIME

The body of Stephen Hughes, the
Tempe rancher. who was murdered by
L. Anderson at his home near that
city on the night of December 3, was
shipped last evening to the former
home at Weir City. Kansas, where
the funeral service will be held and
burial take place. Miss Margaret
Hughes, and Thos }. hughes, brother
and sister Of the murdered man. who
arrived in Tempe Sunday night after
several days spent at Ell Paso, where
they worked together with Marshal
Browning in forcing Anderson "
confss his crime, accompanied the
body. The brother though, who is an
attorney at-law in Greenwood, Ark
ansas. expects to return to Tempe
within few weeks to attend to the
details of settling the estate.
Thomas Hughes at Tempe last even
ing said that Anderson and Croft,
thus far implicated in the murder OF
his brother, Undoubtedly had accom-
plices in the crime. In the Ell Paso
jail when young Anderson was giving
his confession he continually referred
to 1.-The other fellows" ad in one in

both Anderson and Croft, Mr.. Hughes
gathered that the murder had been
planned for sometime. evidently by
a party of men and that it had been
cut and dried that Anderson was to
do the job. Who the others fellows
were Anderson refused to say.

Women Better
Insurance Risk
Than Are Men

Women are better insurance risks
than men.
They do not drink.
They do not dissipate.
They do not keep late hours.
This is the opinion of Mrs. Laura
B. Hart, southern manager of the
Woman's Benefit association of the
Macabees, in which 10000 women
in the United States carry lnsur-
ance.
Mrs. Hart not only believes women
are better risks, but that they also
have a better sense of economic
conditions than men and that once
they have taken out policy they
will not let it drop.
"Their sense of economy prevents
this" said Mrs. Hart, who is second
ranking officer of the ASSOCIATION.
"They do not want to waste the
money they have put in. Another
thing-the home is dearer to tie
woman than anything on earth and
insurance protects that home. The
wife and mother will make her hus-
band and children the beneficiaries
and she never loses sight of the fact
that she is doing something for them
in taking out insurance. She is
willing to sacrifice, if sacrifice is
necessary, for them We have
women who have insured for as lit
tie as $500 and others who have
taken out as much as $500,0o0 which
is our limit
