WILL RECLASSIFY SALARIES
 OF OFFICES OF COUNTIES

Senator Mattox of Navajo county has introduced bill to take the place of the old classification law, recently declared invalid by the supreme court.
 Counties having valuation of $90,- 100000 or more shall be in the first class, under this bill, while those hav- ing a valuation of from $50,O0O,000 to s90, 100000 shall be second class. Those having a valuation of from $27,000,OO0 to $5O,000,00O shall be third class counties, those from $12,- O0O,O00 to $27,000,00O shall be fourth class counties and those with valua- ton less than $12,O0O,0OO shall be fifth class counties.
 The principal object in the classifi- cation of the counties is to fix the salaries of the officers.
 One county shall automatically change from one class to another with a change in it's valuation.

COUNTY SALARY LAW N. G.
 IS COURT DECISION

Arizona's county salary law, which divides the counties into fourteen classes and puts one county in each class, was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court in a decision handed down in the case of Frank l.. Hunt vs. Mohaye county. Hunt was county assessor and brought suit to collect his salary under the laws of 1901. The court holds the 1912 enact ment of the legislature invalid on the ground that it was special and local legislation. County officers who are not satisfied with their salaries under the present law and who have been allowed assistants and expenses, will have to refund the excess over that allowed by the 1901 law in settling with the counties, the court declares.

RESIDENTS WANT BAREN
 LANDS CUT OUT OF FOREST

A petition is in circulation ad- dressed to the Arizona representatives in Congress asking them to take some action with the Interior Department in regarding to setting back the east line of the Coconino Forest Reserve. According to the petition there are several hundred sections now in the Reserve that has no value whatever as forest, the timber being only small cedars that will never develop into any merchantable stumpage, but if thrown open to settlement will make homes for several hundred people un- der the homestead act. There is al- together too much land in Arizona withdrawn from settlement, and where there is body of land that can be proftably utilized for farming, and has no real value as forest, the De- pertinent should set it out and throw it open to settlers. The government has overdone the forest reserve busi- ness in this state, taking in large bodies of land that do not have five dollars worth of timber to the quarter section, but would be worth hundreds of dollars to the state if given over to settlers.
 The land in question is similar in soil and general conditions to other lands adjorning that yearly produce big yields of potatoes and other farm crops. One crop of potatoes on one acre of this land is worth more than all the timber and rental revenue the government could get in ten years on section, and it is certainly an in justice to tie up valuable lands such as these in forest reserve for graz ing purposes only. If the government will take her clutches off of Arizona, and give the people a chance to de- velop her resources it will make greater advancement Mail.

Range Conditions Bad South

Fletcher By and c. c. By came up from the winter range country last week looking for men to help them care for their bands of sheep on the desert. Help seems to be scarce in that section of the country owing to the scarcity of feed. The Mexican herders do not care much to herd a band of sheep when feed is scarce, for it means rather too much use of shoe leather. Conditions were reported as fine the first of the season but recent reports say that the sheepmen will have to buy fed and water unless
 there is change of conditions soon.

She was bound over to the superior court, for March trial, and released on $7,OOO bonds. Powelps funeral was held February 6, under the auspices of the Elks. Powell's parents will not prosecute. The trial held excluded all bystanders.
