Minor State Fairs Crowned Upon; House Committee s Report Is Against Bill Providing for Appropria- tiOn

If the Roberts anti-pepotism bill goes through, and the indications are that it will, young men and women of Arizona anxious to engage in the public service will not enthusiastical- ly support their elderly relatives for office in which the appointing power inheres The bill as it was amended in the senate committee of the whole yesterday, bars all such unfortunate youth from the public service
 It had been observed that many of ficials of the state and various coun- ties had concealed or tried to conceal nepotism by exchanging courtesies among themselves. That is, A being an office holder and thinking that it would not look well to fill his office with relatives, arranged with B. who felt a similar deicacy on the subject, for an exchange of relatives In this way none of them would be excluded from the pie counter and the outward forms of decency would be observed.
 Accordingly. several amendments to make the bill more nearly alright were sent in by the comm ttee to which the bill had been referred and the committee of the whole itself filled up some chinks. The bill now contains list of the officials, elective
 
 relatives within certain degrees of consanguinity or affinity. This list for the state includes all the state of ficers, members of commissions anG justices of the supreme court: all county officers and superior judges and all city officials who have the ap- pointing power whether they them selves were elected or appointed
 One new section of the bill first at tacks the subject of exchanging rela- tives mildly. by forbidding agree ments. secret or otherwise. hetween appointing officials for the appoint ment of their relatives. Another sec tion goes farther and makes those relatives ineligible to appointment and still another section further but tresses the bill by forbiddins payment to such ineligible persons for any pub lie service they may perform. Ther the whole thing is copper riveted by making the appointment of relatives 2 misdemeanor of the indictable kind.
 Thus a state officer, member of 6 commission or member of the supreme court cannot appoint the relative Of himself or of another state officer Similarly the county and municipal officers are barred from any exchange of courtesies.
 At the end of the re e-making of the bill an amendment hv MT Campbell of Coconino prevailed, suspending tho

REVENUE BILL LIKELY TO PASS
 BEFORE TONIGHT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The ad- ministration revenue bill designed to raise about $250, ,0000 900 by increasing the inheritance tax and by a new tax on excess profits and containing au- thoriZation for an additional bond is sue of S100. 900, was taken up in the house today with a prospect of passage by tomorrow night.
 Discussion of the measure developed into an old time tariff debate The Re publicans accredited the prospective tresury deficit to democratic misman- agement and extravaganza. and urged as a substitute for the administration bill measure to raise the necessary revenue through higher customs duties. Democratic leaders replied that the shortage was due almost entirely to the Mexican emergency and the un- usual preparedness expenditures. and argued that levies on excess profits and inheritances would place the burden where it belongs and would be least felt.
 Majority Leader Kitchin had charge of the bill, and the repuoiican attack was led by Representative Fordney, ranking minority member of the ways md means committee.
 You have been crying preparedness. '' MT. Kitchin told the Republicans, until the people think the Japs are coming over from the West and Germany and

 Major General Pershing left Coloni,I Duban early today for Ojo Federico and Palornas lakes. This was re- ported over the Mexican telegraph line from Casas Grandes today and later confirmed by 2 message received by Carranza Consul Eduardo Soriano Bravo here. General Pershing waited until the last train of refugees had left for the border at Juarez, it was added. Troops of the expeditionary force were expected to reach Palomas lakes hy F'rioay and would go into camp there until the review of the troops is held Sunday. after whioH the eXpeditionary force will move to Columbus across the border. The refugees were expected to continue tu the border and Columbus without waiting at the springs for the troops.

His troops were occupying Pershing's outposts south of Colonia Dublan and were expected to move into Colonia Dublan soon after General Pershing left.

 diplomatic relations with Mexico
 are to be resumed immediately in an etTort by the United States to solve through formal channels the troublesome questions pending with the Carranza de facto government,
 and for its moral effect in aiding
 Carranza to restore order and set
 up constitutional government. 1t was announced after today's cab
 inet meeting that Henry P. FIetch
 CT, confirmed as ambassador to
 Mexico months ago, would leave for his post in few days, accom-
 panied by his embassy staff. There
 has been no American ambassa- dor at Mexico City since Henry
 Lane Wilson was recalled after the
 killing of Madero and Huerta's as
 sumption Of powers and formal
 diplomatic intercourse has not ex-
 isted since Huerta handed Charge
 Nelson O'Shaughnessy his pass
 ports April 23, 1914, upon the
 landing of American marines at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister cared for the interests of the
 United States for a long time;
 various unofficial agents have
 been in charge of the embassy.
 Ambassador sFletcher will carry with him complete instructions on
 questions now pending which
 President Wilson and Secretary
 Lansing desire taken up with the
 Carranza government. These in-
 clude strong protests already
 made against provisions Of the
 
 ton discriminating against for
 eieners and their interest.
 Mir Fletcher will go by steamer iron New York to Vera Cruz and from there to Queretaro or to Mexico City, if b, that time General CarranZa ha. reestablished his capital there.

 Though TO official notification O. the intention of General Carranza ha: been received it is taken for granted that he will reciproc3te at once by sending to Washington an accredited ambassador. Eliseo Arredondo, now in Mexico on leave of absence, has been here as ambassador designate fol more than year.
 While MT.
