LEGISLATURE
IS HARASSED
BY COLODNY

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9-The state
legislature is being much harassed by
the activities of l. Colodny, formerly
an instructor in English of the Univer-
sity of Arizona, who was dismissed by
the regents recently and who claims to
have had two years written contract
to teach English at the institution one
year only of which had expired. AS
soon as the board of regents refused to
have anything further to do with the
case, Colodny began importuningS the
legislature for an official investigation
of the case, claiming that adverse in
fluences had been brought to bear
against him, causing his dismissal be-
cause of the activities of his wife in
organizing the Civic League of
Tucson, and working for the complete
abatement of the Red Light district in
that city. Among the schemes that
have been devised to force the legisla-
ture into action is that of sending a
ate every morning, asking for an in
vestigation. These cards like the letter
in the case received by both houses
recently, have been referred to the
committee on petitions, memorials and
remonstrances. Colodny has also en-
gagged counsel to assist him and has
brought suit in the superior court of
Pima county. The only action that has
yet been taken by the senate is to per-
functorily refer all the post cards to
the above mentioned committee with
out comment. How long the patience
of Arizona's toga wearers will stand
the continued written request es-
pecially since it comes from a different
person every day, is problematical.

CLASSIC |CAIION
OF COUNTIES
IS INVALID

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-In winning
his suit against Mohave county in the
Supreme Court, the opinion of which
was handed down last Saturday. Frank
L. Hunt, assessor of Mohave county,
has stirred up regular hornets nest
of trouble that effects every county Of
ficer in the state who has received
more money under the classification of
have received 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
would have under 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
The county classification act has
been before the court before but never
before has the constitutionality of the
measure been called into question.
Hunt sued the county of Mohave orig
inally for 5000 due him as county as
SCISSOR for the months of January,
February March and April, 1915,
claiming that Mohave county had au-
Dramatically left the thirteenth class and
gone into the sixth by reason of growth
and property values. The Board re-
f,,c 70 oIoir nd
was taken into the superior court
where the demurrer of the county at
torney that the facts were not suffi-
cient to constitutes cause of action
was sustained.
On an appeal the Supreme Court to-
day declares that because the county
classification act arbitrarily sets out
fourteen classes of counties and then
sets the fourteen counties of the state
in classes according to the population,
it is a series of special acts, and might
as well be fourteen separate bills for
all the effect of them and hence be-
caust it is special legislation it is I'M
constitutional. The court further says
that the boards of supervisors have
the right and it is their duty to fix
the salaries within the counties ex-
cept of such offices as have been gen
eral to all counties. 1t is not known
at this time just how many of these
there are. However, attention is
drawn to the fact that the classified
ton act Of 1912 in fixing the salaries Of
the county officers have received d
greater remuneration than they would
have under the previous law they must
remit to the county.

tunnel and for several yards on the in
side full of boulders. Investigation

had slipped out of their nesting place in
the cliff by their own weight.
