COUNTY CLERKS ARE AGAIN UP IN ARMS
 OVER PAY QUESTION

The alrax3ed surfaces of the clerks af the var1ons county offices as well sS the heads of the offices, who had made application fer increases of cler- teal salaries, were further ITftated yesterday on receipt of a letter from Chairman w. K Bowen of the board of supervisors which seems to have hesn written in resentment of the criticism of the five and ten-dollar in creasas which have been described as enreasty:''
 In his letter, Chairman Bowen sug- gests that the board is ready to re- ceive the resignations of the clerks who are dissatisfied with their present sttpends. The letter to the heads of the offices is in form as follows:
 Dear Sir; When the matter of raise m salaries of the clerks in the employ of Maricopa county came be- fure the hoard it was necessary to take into consideration the financial affairs of the county. The limited funds at the command of the board influenced them in making their decisions in re- gard to the salaries.
 If any of the employees of your office feel that they are underpaid or are in any way dissatisfied with the action of the board we will be glad to accept their resignatiOns. Very truly yours, ''W. k. BOWEN,
 Chairman"
 IL was pointed out by some of the indignant officials that the foregoing is incompetent, irrelevant and tmma- terial. The clerks, they say, bear no relation to the board are under no ob- lgation to it. and if they want to re- sign they will notify the heads of their various departments, by whom they are employed. Or they may quit, If they desire without the formality of 8 resignation, just as many who have secured better paying positions in pri- vate employment have already done. There is no more reason, they say, why resiguatinns should be handed 10 the board than that they should be sent to the Ahkuund of Swat or the Canine Comptroller of the municipality of Phoenix.
 Said one official: '"rhe chairman pleads the poverty of the county, its distressing financial affairs Why is the county hard up, if it is hard up? m1ery year more and more money col lected from the taxpayers and all other sources. What becomes of it2 We know that a great deal has gone in allowances of extravagant expense accounts and payments for doubtful services. Yet the clerks are working for the same salaries they were paid before the war, though the cost of lv- ing Is now twice as high We simply cannot get efficient help. If we should lose the clerks we now have, and most of them are, staying only in a spirit of loyalty, we c0nId not replace them We could not go out and find clerks at S10G a month that it would be safe to bring into the offices. Before the war nc one would have thought of putting a $50 clerk into one of these responsible positions That is in effect what the board of supervisors requires us to do now

TOKENS IF ESTEEM SHOWN AT FUNERAL
 OF VIM. ?. DOHENEY

The esteem in which William P. Do heney was held was shown in the crowded mortuary at Whitney's yes terday morning at the funeral of MT. Doheney whose death occurred at Long Beach, Cal, last Friday night The casket was covered high with flowers and ferns, the offerings of his former associates in the service of the city and the many friends of the family.
 The services were conducted by the Rev. c. M. Gilmore, pastor of the Chris ton church at Glendale, in the absence of the Rev. w. $. Buchanan, pastor of the local church. In the course of his remarks MT. Gilmore said that as death approached, MT. Doheney desired mem bership in the Christian church, of which his wife and daughter were members, and a minister of that de- nomination attended him and received his confession of his faith in Christ. Too ill to submit to the ordinance of baptism. he was taken into the church.
 The pail bearers were John Sullivan, Jerry Sullivan, Thomas Trevillian, Thomas Kilgore, George U. Young and l.. R. Templin. Interment was at Greenwood cemetery.

ACTION FILED WILL
 TEST TRAFFIC RULE

A suit was filed in superior court yesterday that will furnish the first test in a civil suit of one of the city traffic ordinances, that giving to the driver of a vehicle the right of way eat an intersection over vehicles ap- preaching the crossing from the left of the driver.
 The suit was filed by F., E. Struck meyer for John J. Matheny against the Orr and Miller company and s. J. Mar chese. The plaintiff had an automobile with the first named defendant for re- pairs, After they had been made the machine was taken out on the street for trial and was driven by one of the proprietors, the plaintiff alleging that he was present only in the capacity of a passenger.
 At an intersection there was a col- lision with machine driven by Mar chese, who approached the crossing on the left of the car in which the plaintiff was riding.
 Another suit by Matheny against the first named defendant is for the recov- cry of his automobile. which is held for a bill for repairs of damages resulting from the accident and for which the plaintiff thinks he ought not to pay.

JOHNSTON SPOKE TO
BROOKHAVEN VOTERS
Had Good Crowd at The City
Hall Yesterday for Two
Hour Speech.

Hon. Oscar G.. Johnston, candidate
for Governor, spoke 10 represen-
| tative crowd DC citizens of Brookha-
ven and vicinity at the City Hall
Friday morning. commencing his
speech at 1900 o'clock, q. m, and
holding his audience for about two
hours.
Mr.. Johnston began his address BY
stating in detail his platform as out
lined By him in the published PAM
phlets that have been circulated
throughout the state in his interest.
saying that as a public servant II
was right that the people of the state
should know for what he stands.
Mr.. Johnston stated that he had
voted for one OF the most stringent
prohibition laws that was ever en-
acted by the legislature of the state,
although the Russell campaign CON-
niittee were charging him with be-
ing against prohibition. He further
stated his stand upon the Tax Conn
mission and expressed himself as In
favor OF q State Tax Commission e.
lected by the people of the state but
was opposed to the commission under
its present constituted form f0r the
reason that it placed too much power
in the hands OF the Governor.
He stated that he wanted to take
the appointment 0f c0mhty health Of
flcers out OF politics and also the ap-
pointment of the members OF the dem
tai board out OF politics and would
recommend in the event of his cleo
tion as Governor. that these appoint
ments be made by the State Board OF
Health and not by the Governor.
In continuing his address MT.
Johnston showed that he had voted
for a number of measures during the
twelve years that he has been in pub
lie life, beneficial to the state, al
though the opposition were trying to
show that he had either not voted,
or had voted against these certain
measures.
Mr.. Johnston also charged that the
present situation in our educational
colleges was brought about for pure
ly political purposes. That not one
professor, or chancellor, or president,
Of either the University of Missis-
sippi, the l. l. & G. or the A. & M,
College has been contracted with up
to this time for their services for the
coming term. That none Of the gra-
duates OF the I. /. @ G. had received
their diplomas Because Bilbo had
failed, refused and neglected to call
the trustees OF the colleges together
to sign these diplamas, and. make
contract with the teachers for the
coming year. That he knew of in
stances where young ladies who had
graduated at the I. /. G C. and had
applied for positions to teach in the
public schools of the state could not
get positions for the reason that they
could not produce these diplomas to
the,trustees of the schools where they
made their application as teachers.
Mr.. Johnston left Brookhaven af-
ter his speech, for the big picnic at
Bogue Chitto, where he spoke In the
afternoon.
He had good crowd at Brookha-
ven, and was given close attention
during the two hours Of his talk.

Mississippians Are Planning to At
tend the National Dairy Show
It Chicago in October.

The 1918 National Dairy Show
will be held in Chicago October 9Th
to 18th, inclusive. There is no
doubt but that this will be the great
est show ever held and every dairy
man and every business man who Is
interested in the general development
of the dairy industry should attend
this show IL 1t is at all possible for
him TO do so. Many Mississippi
dairy farmers have never had an op-
portunity TO attend college where
special training In dairying wos of
terad TO these farmers, as well as
to those who have had such train
ing, a few days spent at this show
would be q wonderful education and
well worth the time and money nee
essary to make the trip. At this
show they will have an opportunity
to see and study at hrst hand the
best individual animals OF all four
dairy breeds. They will also see
these animals judged, a demonstra-
tion we'll worth while. ALI modern
dairy equipment and creamery ma
chinery will be on display. The Fed
eral Dairy Division will conduct a
very educational dairy demonstration
and will have charge of the Students
Judging Contest. Results of cooper
ative cow testing associations and bull
associations will be graphically
shown.
A number of Mississippi dairymen
bankers, and other business men are
planning to attend this show in Oc-
tober. A party OF Mississippians is
now being made up to make the
trip together. Either before or af-
ter the show they will make trip
through the leading dairy sections
OF Wisconsin and other dairy states
Of the northwest. Such a trip will
be worth year or two spent in col
lege and still afford some educational
features and pleasures impossible to
get in college course.
The exact date the party will leave
Mississippi and when 1t will return
has not yet been settled. Whether
they go a few days early and make
the Wisconsin trip before attending
the show, or go direct to the show
and make the other trip later, will
be determined by the wishes OF the
majority of the party. The approxi-
mate cost OF the trip can be ascer-
tanned after we have learned wheth-
er special rates can be had over the
railroads. This matter has already
been taken up with the proper Of
ficials.
Everyone interested in the dairy
COW and what she is doing to make
mississippi one of the richest and
greatest agricultural states in the
Union should give this trip careful
consideration. Go learn how they
nave done it in Wisconsin and ther
come home and beat them putting /,

This Country Ideal
One for Stock-Raising

All the experienced stock men who
come here tell us that we have a per-
fectly good country in which to grow
live stock. They say we have two
necessary essentials--water and
grass. They could also have added
mild winters, long growing season
and excellent transportation facili-
ties. There is no guessing about
these advantages; they are here.
Some day all our hopes for making
this big cattle. sheep and swine
growing section will be realized. too.
We must continue our present efforts
and enlarge them. We must encour-
age those who have already started
in every way possible. We must ar.
range to raise the greater portion Of
our feed. In fact we should organize
associations for the purpose of aid
ing each ether and for the dissemi-
nation Of knowledge beneAcial to the
business.

To The White Voters Of BrOOkhaven.

In reference to the proposed issue
Nof Bonds by the City of Brookhaven
for the purpose OF building sewers,
don't you think 1t very unwise (not
to say foolish) to undertake this
work AT THIS TIME?
Labor and material never were as
high and as scarce as. they are right
now, and any sewerage system which
we might build AT THIS TIME viii
cost us MORE THAN DOUBLE what
1t SHOULD COST and what it will
cost when conditions return to nor
NAL.
Our taxes are already much too
high in Rro0lxhaven.. and to build
EanythfnB lie C0RFPEEFE and
ADEQUATE system OF sewers now
will cost us nearer $500, 100000 than
!$125, O00.00 (the amount Of the pro-
posed bond issue). and will certainly
result in heavy increase in our al
ready high tax rate.
1t is not proposed to cover the
ENTIRE CITY with the sewerage
system; only about half or two thirds
of the area within the city limits
will be reached by the sewers, and
yet those who are outside the sewer
age limits and get no Dement'S, will
be required to pay the additional tax
es to take care Of these bonds (if is
sued), the same as those who will
get the benefit OF the sewers. Is that
a SQUARE DEAL?
Think this over carefully, and then
decide that this is NOT o GOOD
TIME to build sewers. We want the
sewers. but we want them at A
REASONABLE COST, which Is an
impossibility now.
Let us wait year or two until
prices get back to normal. and we
will then be able to build an ADE-
QUATE and COMPLETE sewerage
system to cover the ENTIRE CITY
for less than the amount of the pro-
posed bond issue.
Yours very truly,
C. s. BUTTERFIELD.
