JUDGES ID GET MORE PAY F
 RULING HOLDS
DECISION IN OCHISE SAYS THEIR FIG ES DO NOT COME UNDER THE TERMS OF COUNTY CLASSIFICATION ACT.
(Fiom Fridays Daily.l

A decision Tn which the county classification law is held to be at present operative insofar as it affects the salaries of Superior court judges of the State, has been handed down by Judge McAlister in the case of Judge Alfred C. Lockwood versus Cochise county.
 This decision automatically affects ten judges of Arizona and, unless an appeal to the Supreme court IS filed, the increases in pay as provided in the classification law will be paid. Judge McAlister was called to sit in this case, which was tried in the Superior court of Cochise county. He is not affected by the ruling, however
 In his decision, Judge McAlister takes up the various law points at issue and attempts to show, by reason of Supreme court decisions in other States, that under the Arizona consti- tuition Superior court judges arc en- titled to and should receive the in crease as provided by the classiica- ton law even during the term of their office.
 Numerous previous suits have been filed by county officials to collect the increases in salary as provided in the new law but in practically every in stance decisions were rendered in favor of the defendant counties be- cause of Section l7, Article of the constitution, which provides "that no increase or decrease in pay shall be effected in the salary of any county officer during the term of his office.
 Judge McAlister dwells to some ex- tent on this point but further states that Section "A, Article 6, which pro vides that mo judges salary shall be reduced during the term of office for which he was elected" excluded the provision that an increase could not be effective He further states that if it was not for Section Y, Article 4, there would be no question but that it would be legal to increase the salaries of Superior court judges.
 He then proceeds to point out that Section Y, Article 4. is general in its scope, while Section "A, Article 6 is specific in that it deals with Superior court judges only.
 In conclusion he rules that Chapter 6l, session laws of 1917, refers to sal aries of judges of Superior courts. is now and has been since its passage operative.
 Judge Lockwood of the Cochise county Superior court has therefore forwarded a copy of the decision to State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce to col lect the back salary due him.
 Auditor Boyce stated, however, that the increase provided will not be paid until an opinion on the matter is re- ceived from Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, authorizing payment and not until the time for filing an appeal to the Supreme court has expired
 Judge Lyman, of the Maricopa | county Superior court, sitting in a | case in the Yavapai county Superior court, recently issued writ of in junction against the board of super visors of Yavapai restraining them from paying the increase in salaries, but this ruling did not affect the sal ary of the Superior court judge.

]. SWEENEY NAMED AS CITY
 ATTORNEY
SELECTED TO SUCCEED E. ]. MITCHELL WHO IS IN ARMY; COUNCILMEN WILL VISIT SITE OF NEW WATER PLANT.
(From Fridays Daily)

John ]. Sweeney was yesterday ap- pointed city attorney by the members of the city council, the appointment being made to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Attorney E. J. Mitchell for the training camp at American Lake, Wash. For time after Mir MitchelIs departure, the worS of the city attorney was hand led by his partner, H. H. Linney, but a few weeks ago, the latter also pulled out for a camp in Texas, where he is studying modern methods of warfare, and the new appointment was quite necessary.
 At yesterdays meeting. the council passed a resolution endorsing the ac- ton taken by the subcommittee in fixing the city tax rate for this year at one cent on the dollar, this rate having prevailed for a number of years.
 Will Visit Groom Creek.
 The members of the council have announced their intention of paying visit to Groom creek on Sunday next, in company with a number of engi- necrs, and the matter of the installa- ton of pumping plant on that stream will again be gone over. For several years the council has had under con temptation a project for increasing the water supply of the city by pump
 ing water from Groom creek over the mountain to the city water intake at Banning, and 1t IS with a view Of getting a little more expert advice that Sundays trip is to be made. The cost of getting the city water here from the Del Rio plant is of sufficient size to cause grief to the city fathers every time they contemplate a bill rendered, and 1t is believed that much of the expense can be rendered un- necessary, by the installation of the -plant on Groom creek. At the pres ent time the city owns two ranches and two water rights in the vicinity of the water supply. The Thorbeck ranch was purchased several years ago for S27OOO, and right now. more than Sl5,OOO has been paid on the purchase price.
 The transfer of the water from Groom creek to the intake at Ban ming Springs, will involve a problem of pumping the water about l # miles. and raising 1t about 200 feet over the divide. Already numerous surveys have been made, and site has been selected for the construction of a>huge reservoir which can hold several mil lion gallons of water A number of engineers who have inspected the To- cality of the proposed improvement, state that there is no reason why the plan should not be successfully car ried out, and state that the city could get its water much cheaper by this method than in the manner in which it is now being supplied, and that in to the curtailing of expenses, there would always be on hand a large surplus of water that would be available in an emergency.
 The members of the council state that they will be glad to have anyone in the matter join the eX- cursion of next Sunday, and get some irst-hand information regarding the improvement.

He will soon learn that all are based on practical experience and that observance of each detail is necessary in order to maintain healthful conditions among large bodies of men.

NOT A FAILURE.

It seems that the New New York Tribune. once Horace Greeley's great paper, is continually getting in wrong with somebody. It seems to court free advertising by raising trouble. The last one has been with Secretary Me Adoo because it claimed the Liberty loan was a failure on the score that toe much dependence was placed upon the banks.
 Considering that 100000 people got under the loan, this would be an ln- dication that it was not much of failure and is more than could have been reasonably expected for first loan in a nation the people of which are not habitually addicted to buying loans.

First Aids to Resuscitation.

An effective means of resuscitation after an electric shock is said to be sharp blow on the soles of the feet without removing the shoes. In all cases, however, it is necessary to pull the tongue from the throat, as the ac- tion of the current is to cause con- traction of the muscles and the tongue is drawn back into the throat, com pletely sealing the air passage. Part of many first-aid equipments consists of a device which will grasp the tongue and hold it in a distended position so the throat is open to permit of arti- f1cial respiration.

This is German "kultur;;" the same kind of s"kultur" that leads the Prussians to drop poisoned candy to children, mur- der non-combatants on land and sea, outrage women, and torture prison CTS.

In the forty years since his graduation from the military academy he has held nearly every important command in the service. He participated in the war with Spain and in the China relief ex. pedition and was commander in chief of the army of Cuban justification. A year in the Philippines, a like pe- riod as commander of the department of California and three years as su- perintendent at West Point were fol- lowed in 1913 by his appointment to command the Eastern department from which post he was transferred two years later to Chicago.

Loyalty to one's ideals is a tre- mendous factor in life; not only in ones own life, but also ones influ- ence upon the lives of those with whom one comes into contact.
 Solidarity of persons with similar ideals is the multiplication of them into a tremendous power-for good or bad, depending upon the character of the ideals. From time immemorable the sum total of good ideals has had to fight the sum total of bad ideals, and the memorable rule of nature-the survival of the fittest is made to read. ssthe survival of the strongest" :"
 Mankind has advanced fastest when the sum total of good ideals most heav- fly outweighed the sum total of bad ideals. In the dark middle ages, when the spark of civilization was with dif- ficulty kept burning by small circle in the keeping of God on high, bad ideals were most powerful. The pat tie bteween the bad and the good was barely more than draw for cen turies at time.
 And now the fight between good and bad ideals has been made the funda- mental issue of the great war. Per haps it was this that President Had ley of Yale university thought of as he gave his baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class. He said:
 "The nation against which we have been forced to take up arms has set a mighty example of what can be done where the people subordinate their own individual interests to that of the body politic. We may criticise the mo- tives and ideals by which the members of that nation are moved. Some are influenced by fear of an almost des- potic authority above them; others by a desire to exalt their own nation at the expense of all other nations in the world. They look for visible results to the neglect of invisible ones; they are more concerned to render unto Caesar < the things that are Caesars than to render unto God the things that are Gods. But whatever the motive, the self sacrifice is there, and the unity and power that go with it are there. It is this national spirit, even more than technical efficiency or military skill thai. has given Germany it's strength
 "Tp 'cope with that spirit, we must S evoke q similar spirit of self-sacrifics among our own people. If the loftiel motives of love to our fellow men and loyalty to our sentiments of justice are < to prevail over the motives of fear ai,3 self-sggrandizement, they must

URGES SAVING OF PAPER
IN COMMERCE OFFICES
Chief Clerk Havenner Points Out
Several Ways of Effecting
Economies.

The use of lighter wrapping paper in
the Department of Commerce and gen.
eral conservation of paper are recon-
mended by Chief Clerk Havenner in a
report on more economical administra-
ton of the department. submitted to
Secretary Redfeld today. Other rec
concentrations advise economy in the
use of electric light and cutting in
the number of persons to whom press
notices are sent.
The largest part of wrapping paper
used in the department is twenty-four
by thirty-six inches and of heavy
stock. it is pointed out. 1t is believed
there are many cases where lighter
paper would answer for wrapping small
and light packages.
Saving of paper in one form or
another is largely recommended. A
lighter paper is recommended for let
ter heads, as is the use of white paper
for making manifold copies instead of
chrome yellow paper, as at present.
The department is experiencing some
difficulty in obtaining the chrome yel-
low paper. The use of strawboard
cases. instead of wooden cases, in max
ing shipments of non-breakable sup
plies is recommended.
Single spacing on letters is advo-
Gated. At the present time. the re-
port states, a number of bureaus and
offices of the department write letters
double space, running a letter into two
sheets. when, if it were written single
space. one sheet would suffice
