pervision of the state engineer acting
jointly with the bodies above men
toned"
My only comment on this is ''the law
for the goose will do for the gander."
Please re-peruse the paragraphs of the
law upon which you formulated these
above opinions.
In regard to the % per cent fund,
do not agree with you that the state
engineer is a state institution, any more
than the state land commission or any
other state officer. Please note section
Il, chapter SO, page 1913, r. S. third leg
islature which in abolishing the board
OF control, placed many institutions un-
der the commission of state institu
tons, but did not mention the state en-
gineer or the highway department.
Certainly sections Is, 20, II and 20,
chapter "a, page 95, r. S. fourth legis
lature, 1918. do not indicate that the
state engineer is a state institution.
All the paragraphs quoted above have
become law subsequent to paragraph
5124, Revised Statutes 1918, that you
have mentioned, the last three sections
having been passed by the legislature
after your famous controversy with a
PlCNiOuS otdlC AOul
opinion. that the state engineer is a
state institution, is also not common,
sober sense.
Now, Mr.. Jones, our department, con-
sidering federal aid, federal equipment
special and regular state appropria
tions, is trying to look after expendi-
lures and equipment totalling over &c.,
100000. This is more than the entire
cost of running the state of Arizona,
every county, city and town, and the
road and school districts, in the year
1914. We have many engineers, fore
men, timekeepers, inspectors, mechan-
les, laborers in our department but no
lawyers. l am busy trying to secure
the most roads for the least money I'M
der the adverse conditions of the high
cost of living. If you are going to give
any more opinions, political or other
wise, do so but please do not ask for
my time to look up the sovereign law
of the state of Arizona.
Accept, Sir, the renewed assurance of
my highest consideration.

LARGEST HIPPO AND
JUNGLE BABES WITH
TOMORROW'S SHOW

When the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
comes to town tomorrow there will be
on exhibition in the menagerie the
largest hippopotamus ever brought to
America. 1t reached the circus few
weeks ago and has been given a place
of honor among the many other unusual
specimens of far eastern animal life.
The huge river horse was caught in
British South Africa by means of pit
fall-a deep trench, the mouth of which
is covered by a network of moss and
sticks to resemble the grassy earth.
When the animal took his fatal plunge
he fought so ferociously that it required
so natives to drag him from the dark
hole and make a prisoner of him.
The children who visit the circus will
be delighted when they see the two
cutest little jungle babies that ever
rolled out of the thicket. To be pre-
else, however, they never saw a jungle,
being captive born lions and used to
city ways They are little balls of soft
fur with bright blinking eyes and play
full paws. Their mother, and a proud
beast she is, watches over her OIL
springs zealously. Woe be to the ven
turesome keeper who seeks to pet those
babies through the bars of the cage.
Mama is jealous beast and will brook
no interference in her domestic affairs
One of the institutions of the Hagen
beck Wallace circus grounds that at
tracts much attention is the travelling
postoffice. Probably no other office IN
America is visited daily by such cosmo-
politan gathering. Harvey Johnson is
the postmaster of Wallaceville. He is
we'll fitted for the job, as he speaks
French, Spanish. Hindoostani and Po-
lish and knows enough Chinese, Japan
csc. Portuguese and modern Greek to
make himself understood in those
| tongues.

out any more opinions, political or
otherwise, do so, but please do not ask
for my time to look up the sovereign
law of the state of Arizona"
The letter follows:
October 10, 1919.
Hon. Wiley E. Jones,
Attorney General fAriZona,
Capitol Building,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Dear Sir: Your recent letter received
by this office during my absence.
You deeply honor me in asking that
I cite you the law. l also appreciate
your kind delay in not giving your opin-
ion on the law until l have notified
you of my acquiescence in your views.
Perhaps it were better in legal matters,
to thew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may"
Your suggested opinion that the
county boards of supervisors are the
fiscal agents of the state of Arizona in
the expenditure of federal aid funds
and the state engineer is merely the
agent of the boards of supervisors is,
fortunately, in direct variance with the
legal department of the United States
bureau of public roads, which has rec
ognized the state engineer as the state
refuses to transact business with any
other parties. Please read section l,
chapter %, page "a. session laws of 1917,
where the legislature in asserting to
the federal aid act of congress con-
stituted the state engineer the agent
through which the state should trans
act business with the federal govern
ment.
Your opinion that state officer is
subordinate to county officers in the
handling of state affairs, to my mind,
also conflicts with common, sober
| sense.
There has never been any belief in
this department, that / know of, that
the state engineer was more than equal
to the board of supervisors in the ex-
penditure of the rs per cent state road
| tax fund on construction not involving
| federal aid, unless it was Occasioned by
your letter of June 4, 1918, to the state
auditor in which, speaking of the state
engineer, you stated, "He has full au-
| thority over the control of the state
| highways in acting with county author
! tiles on behalf of the state" or youl
/ letter of June l, 1918, to B. NJ. Atwood
| former state engineer, and member o.

ut is evident from all the law above
referred to, that the state engineer doe:
not have control over the county roads
prescribed in chapter 10, title 10, Re
vised Statutes, and the county roads
dealt with in chapter 81, laws of 1917
authorizing the creation of county
highway commissioners, to expenC
moneys from county bonds upon county
highways; but it seems to be a proper
construction of the law to hold tina

AUCTION Of SOULS"
DRAMA OF SAVAGERY

The average person who saw Aurora
Mardiganian last night at the Column
bia, RELIEVING the horrors she expert
enced as deported Armenian,
emerged from the theater saying to
herself, Wonderful picture, but I
don't believe all that really hap
pened!"
And so saying, that person no doubt
had a bite to eat at one of the down.
town cafes and then went home to a
comfortable nights rest.
And yet the report of Viscount Bryce,
the revelations of Ambassador Nor
genthau, and other sources from
which the picture is drawn are too re-
liable to allow any compromise. All of
the revolving scenes depicted actually
happened, and many more could not be
shown on the screen.
1.-THE Auction of Souls" as the pic
ture is shown, makes no attempt at
formal plot and doesn't need to. The
truth shows through. There is little
attempt at theatricalism, and so a dra-
matte effect is achieved without eff
fort
The main figures in the story are the
members of the Mardiganian family,
Andranik, young owner of large herds
of sheep, in love with Aurora, and
Edith Graham, English girl in charge
of a mission. The Sultan, Enver Pa
sha, Talaat Bey, Count Won Wangen-
helm and Ambassador Morgenthau
also appear, although not in person, of
course.
Atrocity follows atrocity immedi-
ately after the issuance of the order
deporting the Armenians. Families
are broken up, Armenian soldiers are
disarmed, set to digging trenches, and
then shot to fill them. Young girls are
bought and sold for little more than
dollar each. Monasteries are dis
rupted and the priests of the Christian
religion spitted like dogs.
Old men, women and children are
left out on the desert, and there either
kicked to death or allowed to die from
starvation, thirst or fatigue. At night
| fall the young girls become the prey
of drunken soldiers. There is no re-
! lief in the film, no attempt to rest the
audience; sayagery follows savagery
without respite, until the watcher
grows weary. The captions, for the
most part, carry the words of some
survivor, who creeps away behind a
| bush and who says:
There were 5000 of US when we left
such and such place. You see what
is left of u.s.

she meets a man, who, struck with the
fact that the girl was deserving of a
better fate, assists her financially 10
make her escape. But a raid pre-
vented the girls leaving the place, and
caught in the net, she was sent to the
reformatory. After two years, she es-
capes, and again meets the man who
endeavored to befriend her This time
the man staggers her with a proposal
of marriage. She accepts, and as
sumes her place as wife in name only,
voluntarily vowing that she would only
take the job" on probation, the per-
manency depending on her ability to
make good 1t is this effort to make
herself worthy as the wife of this re-
spected financier that forms the
nucleus of wonderful photoplay plot.
With this feature is being shown a
Fox selected comedy, and the Prizma
natural color pictures, with. the Pathe
News finish out the excellent bill.
Eugene Redewill, accompanied by his
symphony orchestra, is furnishing a
real treat with his violin solo, while
the orchestra and pipe organ render a
real musical program in masterful
manner.

The Hip

Tom Mix in Fame and Fortune" is
the offering at the Hip for today and
tomorrow. This announcement is al
most enough to satisfy any picture fan,
for Tom Mix is without question one
of the most popular men appearing
in pictures. He is easily the most
popular western character actor, for his
work is in class all by itself.
Fame and Fortune is essentially a
Mix picture. 1t contains every element
OF successful western story, and Tom
Mix seems to have incorporated in his
role all the stunts for which he has
become famous. There is daring
horsemanship, there is wild riding,
there are the sturdy men who brought
civilization and law and order to the
western country-there is thrilling gun
play-there is physical combat-there
are outlaws-there is a charming love
story and there is Tom Mix. There
you have the sum and substance of
Fame and Fortune" and the reason
why it has been reviewed as among
the very best work that Tom Mix has
ever done, which, when one considers
all the successful picture this ex-cow-
boy has given to the screen, is a broad
statement
Fame and Fortune" is delighting the
Hip patrons with each screening. and
it will doubtless continue through the
engagement to find that same favor
with picture fans that made it such a
pleasing Sunday program.

the heart of a woman whose suspicious

1t reviews the result of a husbands
engrossing attention to his business to
the neglect of his wife. 1t shows how
the wife drifts away from the man she
married as he forgets the little courtes-
les that were part of her very life dur
ing the courtship. Then it shows the
husbands part in the game. How he
was content for years to absolutely
ignore the fact that his wife was I'M
happy. 1t reveals how he absolutely
offers her. though unintentionally, the
very opportunity which forms the cir
cumstance resulting in his accusing her
with being unfaithful. 1t portrays the
mans character when his selfish dis
position breaks all bounds of reason in
a jealous rage. And finally it reveals
