QUESTION MUCH SET TILED AGAIN
 BROUGHT FORTH

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has again settled the question of whether or not a member of the legislature can legally hold an office created by the legislature of which he was member. It is at least the second time this ques- tion has been settled, but it refuses to stay settled. It is his opinion that such an appointment is illegal.
 The question was raised by J. c. Goodwin of Tempe, member of the last legislature. He brings it up, though, as MT. Jones is careful to ex- plain in his letter of reply, as a tax payer. It is evident, though no names are used, that Goodwin is aiming his questions at c. c. Green a member of the Maricopa County Highway Com mission and a member of the upper house in the last legislature.
 The letter which settles the question a second time. is as follows:
 Your letter of recent date was duly received, wherein you asked if a mem Der of the present state legislature is eligible to serve by appointment, after adjournment of the legislature, to position on the county highway commission under the new law, as adopted at the last legislative session, 1919. You propound your inquiry as a taxpayer.
 This very question was brought to my attention by Governor Hunt some time ago, when ne had in view the ap- pointment of a member of the legisla- ture to position on the state fair commission. The senator from Gra- ham county. whom Governor Hunt then had in view for appointment, was warm personal friend of mine, but under the constitution and the law I promptly informed the governor that such appointment as contemplated by him would not be valid.
 At the last session of the legisla- ture, 1919, an amendment to the law was ther adopted which, by such amendment to the law provided for a salary of s10 per day for such county highway commissioners, thus providing an emolument for a county highway commissioner which did not exist be- fore.
 Subsection of subdivision 3, arti- cie 4, of the legislative department reads as follows:
 No member of the legislature. dur ing the term for which he shall have been elected, shall be appointed oi elected to any civil office of profit un- der this state, which shall have beer created. or the emoluments of whicf shall have been increased, during said | term
 The above constitutional provision IS conclusive upon the subject, as I an. Tounced in my opinion expressed tc Governor Hunt in reference to Senator Claridge as proposed member to the fair commission. The same provision IS conclusive as against the appoint ment of a member of the present legis- lature to any place upon the county highway commission"

FLYING FIX ENTRY
 IN AVIATION RiCE

Deep scientific interest attaches to the discovery by Joe V. Prochaska of curious animal found in the wilds of Arizona which he has named the flying fox of Arizona
 If this sounds like a nature fake yarn. the reader is asked to weigh carefully the explanation made by Burt Barr, to whom the fox has been presented as gift. Bar, it may Ds said in passing. has been named the superintendent of the aviation race program at the coming state fair to be held in this city November 3S inclu- sive
 You see, it's like this, said Barr
 We are going 10 have plenty of entries for the big aerial race between Los Angeles and Phoenix, which is to feat. ure the opening day of the fair, but was beginning to worry little bit about mascots. No true amateur bird- man would think of entering an event of this kind without a mascot, and be- lieve me. he's got tt have something out of the way.
 Frank V Clark, for instance, is go- ing to carry a rattlesuake with him to charm the journey; Joe Murray, an- other entrant. is going to carry bull pup chained to the fusilage. just as a matter of safety first, but Daredevil Campbell had nothing of this kind at all, so he asked me to pick up some thing choice and classy.
 Joe Pro came to the rescue with a little yellow fox. the cutest ever. I asked Joe what we'd call him, and he said to call him the Flying Fox, of course, and so we did. Rather appro- priate, I'll say, and Daredevil Campbell is tickled to death with the idea

REUBEN RESIDENCE
 LOOTED BY THIEVES

The home of George H. Reuben, Kis- selkar representative, has been robbed. according to a report made to the sheriffs office yesterday, confirmed by an investigation by officers.
 The family has been on the coast and has not yet returned, The house is located at 66 West Palm Lane, not far from the home of Royal Leseher. which was recently robbed. The jobs being very similar in character. has led the officers to believe the same gang committed both robberies, possibly on the same night.
 Therobbery was discovered by the gardener, who noticed the back screen open, and reported the matter. Inves- tigation showed that the thieves had done systematic job of footing. turn ing bureau drawers upside down and dumping their contents and ransack- ing everything
 There is no method of determining what may have been taken or it's value until the family returns this week. nor are there any particular clues to tho guilty parties.
 Much wisdom was apparently shown, however, by the burglars, who took nothing that had numbers that might be traced.

STATEMENT ISSUED
 BY JUDGE LA|VGSTO|V

Stating that his remarks at the con- ference at the governors office on Sat urday afternoon on the subject of the high cost of living could not be quite understood on account of the ornis- sion of part of what he said. Judge J. Il. Langston yesterday made this statement of the general policy of the department of justice in this campaign against profiteering wherever it may be discovered.
 Tn your account of the conference between the Arizona Merchants, As sociation with Governor Campbell on Saturday your paper erroneously quoted me as saying mo prosecution had been had in Arizona for profiteer- ing for the reason that it is the an- nounced policy of the government to leave this matter to the state.s
 What I did say was that during the activities of the war the matter of prices was regulated by the Food Ad- ministration and in some instances licenses were revoked and in others, penalties were imposed and collected for maintaining prices higher than those fixed by the food administration. and that no prosecutions under the OIaJeS were had. But that now, under explicit instructions from the attorney general of the United States persons discov- cred violating the laws of the United states regulating prices would be prosecuted
 That the office of the United States attorney for this district and the agents of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice were cooperat- ing with the county and state authori- ties, that great deal of information had already been gathered with a view 70 prosecutions for selling at prices
 hat were deemed excessive, also that opportunity had been given and was being given for the merchants to CO., operate in the reduction of high prices voluntarily and in cases where that was not dona nrosecittions of tbo.a

 And mag I now stress the fact that it is the announced policy of the de- partment of justice to proceed vigor- ously with the investigation that have been going on for some time and to begin prosecutions when, in the judg- ment of the officers it seems advis able.

FINAL PRELIMINARY
HEARING IN STATE
RAILWAY TAX CASE

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 1.-(Spe-
cial. )-The last preliminary bout in
legal battle which is to determine
whether seven railways operating IN
North Dakota shall pay some $780,
900 in taxes for the years 1917 and
1913 was staged at the capitol yes
terday when final recapitulation Of
testimony introduced in long SER
les Of hearings in this state and the
Twin Cities was made before Miss A.
Nieman, special examiner appointed
by Judge C. F. Amidon of the United
States district court to hear evidence
in this matter. More than year ago
the railways applied to the United
States district court for an injun:-
ton restraining the North Dakota
tax commission from collecting one
third of the taxes assessed against
the carriers in this state in 1917.
The railways contended that their
properties were valued one-third too
high when compared with farm land
and other property in this state.
Judge Amidon granted temporary
restraining order and appointed Miss
Nieman to take evidence in the case.
A dozen or more hearings have been
held, and more than 500 witnesses
have been examined in an effort on
the one hand to prove that the rail-
way valuations are comparatively
high and, on the other, to prove It
no higher tina nthat placed on other
property. Tuesdays was the last
preliminary hearing, and fourteen
railway attorneys attended.
