Proposal to Raise Pay of the
County Supervisors Placed
in Hands of Committee
Which viii Report Today,
ter noanlNe youRnAL ssseLAl ltAssp w,ss


Phoenix, AriZ., Feb. 26--Not a word
was said in the house today about
senate bill seventeen, the highway
measure which precipitated the clash
yesterday between the democrats
lead by Peterson and the republicans
led by Galbraith. 1t went into the
enrolling and engrossing committee
after the most heated debate of the
session, with republicans in the CAPT
tol corridors prophesying it would
never become law with VI clauses TO
curtail the governors powers.
Delbridge offered an apology for
the enrolling and engrossing COM
mittee, without mentioning any spe-
cial measures, saying that commit
tee was overworked and underman-
ned.
Late today Galbraith gave notice
that he intended to ask reconsidera-
ton of the land bill. This measure
provides for a leasing term of TWEEN
ty years and takes off the $40 acre
limit on individual holdings.
The land bill passed the house yes
terday after surviving three determ-
med attacks and speculation was rife
as to the significance of Galbraith s
move.
The senate committee of the whole
today threshed out the question of
county supervisors salaries in con-
nection with the county classification
bill. An amendment was offered TO
give the chairman of boards in first
class counties Salary of $4,000 and
other members $500, it being argued
that efficient men could not be OBJ
tanned at the present salaries. The
proposal was referred to a select COM
mittee which will report tomorrow
Claypoops bill to place ice plants
unear lthe corporation commission,
was killed in the senate. The auth
or's suggestion to prevent senators
interested in ice plants from voting
was not acted on.
Winsor's new election code was sent
to the enrolling ana engrossing COM
mittee for several amendments, among
which was one to eliminate the para
graph relating to primaries which re-
quired a sixty per cent vote for state
offices and fiftyfive per cent for
county posts at the primary to give a
candidate the position.
The house passed the Cochise dele
cations bin empowering counties to
make special tax levies for road work
during the present unemployment sit
uation.

JUST \ SIMPLE
DOG STORY.

Perhaps dogs have no place in the
society column, but If you should at
tempt to make some people believe
that you would have the hardest task
on your hanuS you had ever under
taken. In tact there are people so
misguided as to think that dogs have
a better right there than many of the
humans VINO do got in. Anyway here
Is the story as 1t was ,tUld by a woman
who loves animals and who saw it re-
Gently herself Looking out of an
upper WlndOW the other day l saw,
what at flIst appeared to be the end of
u dog right, Tor the hlredale was
standing over another dog and the
under uog seemed to be completely
tired out, but on looking more closely
this is what 1 saw, the Airedale was
trying by all the means at his com
mand to make the other dog look up
or answer HIM in some way. First he
licked his face, then he poked him
with his nose, then he raised his head
with his nose taking it at the same
time between his paws, looked into
his face, attempted to carry him, all
the time crying and whining as il his
heart was broken. Finally the Aire-
dale took the other gently by one OF
his pawYand dragged him few steps
stopped and tried all the coaXing arts
over again. The other dog PERSISTENT
iy showed no signs of recognition.
Airedale could not believe that the
companion of so many romps and
hunts was beyond The reach of his
call. Again he tried to carry him, to
coax him into making some Kind of
an answer. He would walk away q
few steps only to turn and, with a
pathetic cry, bound back to the side
CT the other and begin all his efforts
once more. Finally, after he had man.
aged to drag the unrespons.ve COM
lanion the dis ance Of several yards,
| went out to see what could be done
and found that Airedale's ffiend had
been poisoned. | had known him as
just II happy go-lucky dog, the friend
of the children in the neighborhood
ana couldn't imagine how anyone
could foully murder him.
This Is long story to tell about a
dog that is not even well bred, at least
he was well bred enough to be harm
less and friendly, and made no pre-
tense at being what he was not. And
If you had seen the Airedale's almost
human efforts to get some sign from
his friend, and his real sorrow as he
realized that something, beyond his
understanding, had occurred that
could make the other so completely
unresponsive what would you have
said of the one who had deliberately
taken the dogs life for no other rea-
son than that he was a dog?
