Maricopa Superior Court Holds State Commission
 A Legally Ordained Body

PHOENIX, May l3-Sustainine the general demurrer in the action in. stituted several weeks ago by Lamar Cobb, former engineer, against Wiley E. Jones, attorney general, Judge Frank Lyman this afternoon ruled, in effect, that the act of the legislature creating . commission of State insti- tutions is constitutional and was properly enacted. Cobb brought. ac- ton to compel the attorney general to institute proceedings to oust the commission of State institutions as an illegally and unconstitutionally created body.
 Judge Lyman also ruled, however, that any taxpayer unquestionably has the right and can require the attor- ney general to bring action of a na- ture like that instituted by Cobb. In his decision Judge Lyman made no reference as to the opinion given sev- eral months ago by the attorney gen. eral, placing the State engineers of flee under the jurisdiction of the commission of State institutions.
 The plaintiff in this action claimed that the act creating the commission was unconstitutional because of the powers given to the commission. IT.. this connection, Lyman ruled that this cause of action on behalf of the plaintiff grew out of technicality, and in handing down his decision stated that the act was complete and finished piece of legislation.
 The title is as broad in purpose and object as the legislation" de- clared the court -
 The other objection set forth by the plaintiff was that the act had not properly been passed by the legis- lature In this, Lyman declared that

the point raised was one of greatest importance, and as far as the par ticular question at issue is concerned has never been passed upon by the Supreme court.
 Our supreme court has decided several similar questions, but never one of quite the same significance IL really involves the question as to the function of the journals of the house of representatives and the senate.
 "ln many States the law IS quite clear as to the purposes of these journals. In this respect l mean as to whether or not they shall serve as official records.
 But in Arizona the journals of the legislative bodies have never been de- fined, and the question therefore is an open one"
 In giving the decision, Judge Ly- man informed Attorney Thomas Nca- lon, chief of counsel for the plaintiff, that his cause of action did not con tain sufficient facts to warrant the court in doing other than sustaining the general demurrer, but that he would allow the plaintiff sufficient time in which to file an amended complaint. Attorney Nealon stated that he would stand on his second amended complaint
 The mere fact that the journals of the legislative bodies do not con tain all the facts concerning the en- acting of legislation is not sufficient cause for action," declared the court
 After the customary statements had been made to complete the record in the case, notice of appeal to the Su- preme court was given by Attorney Nealon.

When the German menace against Amiens, Paris and the channel ports became so serious and Gen. Foch assumed supreme command, all available American troops were offered the generalissimo. A large number were rushed to the important battle line and . sector west of Mont Didier IS now held by American soldiers.
 Germany's military leaders have used up most of their reserves in their attacks since March 2l and the Brit ish and French armies, with the re- serve French force, are deemed fully able to deal with further enemy on- rushes. The Allied strategy IS aided by the fact that the Germans must attack or admit defeat.
 IL is now two weeks since the dis astrous repulsc north of Mont Kem- mel and in that time the Germans have gained hardly a foot either in Flanders or Picardy. The French and British, however, have taken some small and locally important po- sitions in limited attacks, the latest advance having been made by the French north of Kemmei village in the capture of hill A and an adjoin- ing farm. It is felt the Germans can not delay their attacks in strength much longer and that important sec tors southwest of Ypres and between Arras and the Somme will soon re- sound to the clash of mighty battles. Meanwhile the opposing cannon are firing thousands of shells into and be- hind the hostile positions.
 On the Italian front the fighting is becoming sharper with the Ital- ians on the offensive. After the sue cessful operation on Monte Conro, south of Asiago, the Italians have wiped out an Austrian advance post on the important height of Col Del Orso, between the Brenta and the Piave. Austrian patrol parties were repulscd north of Lake Garda and along the line west of the Brenta

 AMMUNITION

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, May l3.-A gigantic enemy ammunition dump was fired by American artillery this morning. At the same time two fires were started in Mont Didier which were followed by numerous explosions. There was no infantry action today and only intermittent machine gun and rife fire. Any hopes which the enemy may have had of breaking through in this sector is diminishing. The Americans fire two shots to the Huns one, which is believed to be a new pace for this sector.

 PARIS, May l3.-The effectiveness of the German SubnArine campaign ment is aware of this fact, declared Georges Lcygucs, minister of marine. before the naval committee of the chamber today, but has made the greatest efforts to conceal it. He said the situation was most favorable and the sinking of the submarines in the first three months of 1918 through Allied measured was greater than the number built by the enemy.
 Minister Lcygucs referred to the statement made in the reichstag on April l7 by Vice-Admiral von Cha belle, German minister of marine. in which he said 100000 tons of Allied shipping were sunk monthly This figure, the minister said, was incor- rect.
 It was reached and passed in April, May and June of 1917. In July, de- clined and in November it fell below 100000, and since has diminished continuously. The minister gave out the following comparative table of the tonnage claimed to have been destroyed by Germany and the total actually lost in the past five months:
 Claimed Actual Month by Germany Losses December .702.O0 tons 3S5,277 tons January ..632,0O0 tons 3a2. .459 tons February ..6S9000 tons 332.522 tons March .6S0 800 tons 35S,O00 tons April .... .600000 tons 26S.704 tons
 M. Leygus said that in February. March and April 3,723 French steam CTS and 78S French sailing vessels passed through the danger zone, where few months ago losses by torpedoing had been very heavy. Not a single ship was sunk.

Juniors don't have to plant your vegetables in
