eArFoRO A TERMINAL POINT
IN WHEAT TRANSPORTATION

PHOENIX. Jan. 3-At a late meet
ing OF the executive committee of
the State Council OF Defense. state
Senator Claridge brought up the in
teresting point that in the ella val
ley towns of Graham county the
farmers have been Disseminated
against by the local mills. that have
been paying for wheat the Tucson
price OF $3.50 hundred. minus the
freight from Tucson. At present
Phoenix and Turson are the only
Arizona points designated as ter
minals under the national regulation
fixing the price of wheat The
Senator's suggestion was embodied
in 4 motion presented by former
Governor Campbell. that the council
OF defense recommend 10 the food
administration that Stafford be des-
igna;ed as e,eiving point for
wheat and that the price there be
the same for 1918 as al Phoenix and
Tucson. This motion was adoted

WHO CONTROLS STATE
ROAD FUND? ISSUE

PHOENIX. Jan. Whether the
expenditure of the great sum OF $40.
900 available for the construction,
maintenance and repair of the high
ways and bridges of Arizona. is TO
be controlled by the commission of
state institutions or is under the d.
decticn Of the state engineers de
partment alone. is a question that is
troubling the new commission.
When the old board CT control was
in existence il directed the expendi.
ture OF the highway and bridge mon.
ey. the state engineers Office merely
carrying out the orders of the board.
But with the abolishment of the
board OF control and the establish
ment Of the new'commission of state
institutions. this undisputed author.
ity TO regulate the disbursement of
the various highway and bridge funds.
formerly he'd by the board Of con-
troll. was left to doubt
Although il may have been the
intention OF the state legislature to
continue to the commission of state
institutions this authority to regu-
late the expenditure OF road and
bridge funds. yet the wording OF the
law on that subject makes that au-
thority extremely doubtful. II. there
fore. is expected that one Of the
first acts Of the newly appointed
commission of state institutions will
be to ask the attorney general for a
legal opinion on this matter.

TRAINED NURSES
CALLED TO DUTY

PHOENIX, Jan. 3-"The bureau of
mines has enrolled for various kinds
of duty more than 1900 trained
nurses and a call has now been is
sued for thousands more TO fill the
needs at home and abroad
THE bureau OF civilian relief has
been organized to supervise the home
service which includes all the relief
work done locally by Red Cross
chapters for the benefit of the de-
pendent families of absent soldiers
and sailors. as well as the after-care
and employment of men crippled in
the service.
The American Red Cross is being
made the victim daily Of malicious
ISLANDERS, most of which pertain to
misdirection OF articles made by the
women, and inasmuch as the ma
tional organization. division organ
ization or any chapter has not in a
single instance been able to verify
single derogatory report, we must
assume that these ISLANDERS are per-
petrated as a part of enemy propa-
ganda. Anyone hearing such sto-
ries will confer a favor on the Amer
lean Red Cross by reporting the
story and the name OF the person
telling il Immediately"

Maricopa and Yuma counties. where
it has been necessary TO feed or put

arily subsist On desert range. In
the extreme southern part of the
