THE LAPS AGAIN.

At moment when relations with Germany had reached extremely critical state, the Japanese ambas- sador presented government protest against the Oregon and Idaho antiaien land ownership bills That protest though politely phrased amounted virtually to an ultimatum It was an unmisakable that Japan determined have her dscrminated against may force necessary her equal ity with the white races.
 Secretary Lansing was thoroughly alarmed the pos sbity of trouble from that He hastened to the Oregon and Idaho legislatures withhold action this time they periodically yielded in order to embarrass government when already had hands full
 The menace is not removed however. IL is only put to sleep for little while later shall be involved in another controversy threatening peaceful relations with Japan.
 Can't some way be found this difficulty? It's plain enough that don't the Jap settling there in numbers and doubt the other states would feel the way about if they similarly threatened isn't that the Japs not all right in their The trouble is that their is not way. The yellow and white don't mix And the tendency this country is setting strongly against all immigration that will amagamate easily with citizenship
 We don't want invasion of Japs But why fight about it? Since proud the other and pos siby from dsinterested standpoint good the other can't there be some of compromise honorable to both?
 Why should the governments frankly agree that their two peoples won't mix, and act accordingly in
 friendly way to keep them from troubling each other? Why should there not be treaty forbdding Americans to land in Japan attend Japanese public schools and subjecting to whatever other prohibitions fit apply to the Japanese in this country? We could stand the ban well the Japs could And it might solve the problem.

C0CHISE COUNTY MAY BE THE ONLY FIRST
 CLASS SUBDIVISION
Should Bill Introduced by Ser. Mattox Become Law, This County Would Rank in the First Division.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. S.-Reclassi- fication of the counties of Arizona on a basis of assessed valuation instead of on basis of population is pro- posed in a bill introduced in the state senate by Senator MattoX of Navajo county. The bill is the result of the recent supreme court decision declar- ing the classification act of 1912 Un- constitutional.
 Under the provisions Of the bill now in the senate, Arizona's fourteen counties would be divided into five classes; those having an assessed val nation over S90,O0O,O0O being in the first class, those whose assessed valu- ation is between fifty and ninety mil lions being in the second class and those between twenty-seven and fifty millions being in the third class. The fourth class includes counties whose assessed valuation is between twelve and twenty-seven millions and the fifth class all under twelve millions. The assessed valuations taken as of ficial in the deter ~ination of the class of each county are those fixed by the state board of equalization in 1916.
 Under this method of classification the counties would De classified as follows:
 First class. Cochise County; See ond class, Maricopa Yavapai and Gila; Third class, Greenlee, Pima, Pinal; Fourth class, CocOninO, Ora ham. Mohave, Yuma; Fifth class, Apache, Navajo. Santa Cruz.
 Salaries of all county officers in each of the classifications are fixed by the bill, the salaries fixed being slightly increased over the present salaries Of these offices. In counties of ,the first class the salaries of the most important county officials are: Clerk of superior court. S2700; sheriff $4.0OO; recorder, S24OO; treasurer. s3.0O9; assessor, S24Oc; superintend- a0t Of schools. s2f1O: road superin- tendent. S2,0OO; Chairman of board Of supervisors. $500; members S120O: clerk, $1S0O
 In counties of the second class the. salaries of the sherin, assessor and members of the board of supervisors are the same as in counties of the first class. Other salarles are from S200 to $500 less than in first class counties
 In counties Of the third class the salaries of county officials are fixed as follows: clerk of superior court. S22OO; sheriff, $36OO: recorder. $220O: treasurer, $24OO; county attorney. s24OO; assessor, $24OO; superinten- dent of schools, S2OOO; road superin- tendent, S1SOO; chairman board of supervisors. $500, members S12OO: clerk, $500. Most of these salaries are the same as those for the same offices in counties of the second class.
 In counties of the fourth class the salaries are still lower, and in coun- ties of the fifth class the clerk of the superior court gets only $500 the sheriff s250O; the recorder S1S00; treasurer 5000; county attorney $500: assessor $500: supeTinten- dent of schools $15O0 the chairman of the board of supervisors is allowed $12OO and the members $90O each.

WAS PRESIDENT
FOR ONLY A DAY

A President of the United States
served for only one day, according to
l.. Kapton in the Savannah Press who
says:
l would not be surprised to learn
that there are but few people in the
country who know that the United
only one day. 1t was back in 1849,
when President Zachary Taylor was
elected President of the United
States by the Wing party, and the man
who served the nation as President
for day was Mr.. David R. Akin
son. who was at that time president
pro TEN. of the United States senate.
1t happened that March 4, the date
set for the Inauguration Of Presi-
dents fell on Sunday, and for some
reason President Taylor would not
consent for the ceremony to take
place on the Sabbath. AS l under
stand it, the justices of the supreme
court gave an opinion that the consti-
tuition of the United States made It
imperative that the President be in
Quoted into Office on March 4, and
that the statutes did not make any
provision for a postponement of the
inaugural in the event it fell on the
Sabbath.
Mr. Atkinson was senior member
and was president of the senate. When
President Taylor declined to take the
oath on Sunday it was decided that in
order that the United States comply
with the constitution requiring the
inauguration of President, Mr.. At
kinson was consulted, and he agreed
to take the oath of President of the
United States.
The oath was administered on Sun
day, March 4, 1S49, and Mr.. Atkinson
was President for exactly twenty-four
hours. The following day President
Taylor took the Office and several
days later the inaugural ceremonies
we're held.
The American people face similar
situation today, that is to say, March
4. the date of the inaugural, falls on
Sunday. but | don't think President
Wilson is going to object to the oath
being administered on that date. His
views are too broad to bubble over
such a matter.

with the dignity and high Office which
he occupies.
The arrangement for the visit of
Vice President Marshall was made by
the local committees in charge of the
state camp to gather here. and cou~
pied with the great event will come

hour of international crisis.
The members of the Woodmen of the
World who brought about the appear
ance in this city of Vice-President
Marshall deserve the profound and
grateful thanks of the people of the

RUSSIA TRIES FOR
NEW LOAN IN JAPAN

TOXIC, March because the JAP
anese bankers have made the unusual
demand that they be given security,
Japan may have to refuse the request
of her ally, Russia, for loan of
500 100000 Should Japan make this
loan, it would be the largest ever float
ed in this country.
Russia proposes the issue to the
Japanese government, which acquaint-
ed the bankers with Russia's overtur-
es. AS Russia intended the money for
munitions and other products purch-
ased in this country, the proposition
met with the approval of the govern
ment
Japan has the money to make the
loan and its success seemed assured
until the Toxic bankers made their
demand for security. In view of her
position as first class power and a
friend bound in alliance with Japan
Russia believes such guarantee unnec-
essary and beneath her dignity. Jap
anese financiers take the attitude how
ever, that considering the large
amounts borrowed here and the mag.
Gitude of her latest proposal. some
fern of security should be offered.
