which there was an element of risk
for the client, none for him. From
that it was but a step to simply i'm

None of the people who put in their

We are pleased to know some
member of the legislature has
acted on the suggestion of the
Winslow Mail offered some time
ago, and has introduced a bill
making the minimum wage of
public school teachers S10O per
month, and the teachers contract
to run a full year. The poorest
paid class of people in this coun-
try are the school teachers, and
it will always be so until the leg
islature passes some kind of a
minimum wage to protect them.
School taxes hit directly on the
community, and the average
school board wants to run the
school as cheap as possible to
avoid taxes, and they hire teach
ers without regard to their quail
ifications if they will accept a
nominal salary for the actual
number of months school is held.
That kind of teacher does more
damage to the cause of educa-
tion in one year than good
teacher can correct in two. If
there was minimum wage of
$1,000 incompetent teachers will
have to seek new fields or other
kinds of employment, as no dis
trict would tolerate them. 1t
would be up to the teacher to
make good or move. The bill
ought to pass.

Gov. Hunt has brought suit for
the recovery Of unpaid salary
represented by the increase in
pay under the provision of the
salary bill passed two years ago.
Just how the Governor expects
to make his case stick it is hard
for one not fully versed in the
law to see. The supreme court
in the case from Mohave county,
the opinion being written by
Chief Justice Cunningham and
concurred in by Judge John Will
son Ross, the new member ap-
pointed for the expiring thirty
days of Judge Franklin's term,
handed down an opinion recently
apparently opening the gateway
for all officials to claim salary
under the new law, notwithstand-
ing there is a constitutional pro-
vision that no officer shall have
his pay increased nor diminished
during his term of office. There
was a strong dissention opinion
from Judge Henry Ross that at
least was more logical in reason
ing than the majority opinion.
Since that decision was render
ed, Judge Baker has succeeded
Judge John Ross on the bench,
and it is more than probable
Judge Baker will take the same
view of the constitutional re-
strictions as held by Judge Henry
Ross, which bears the impress of
close study without any far
fetched ideas on constitutional
elasticity. The gist of Gov.
Hunts claim is that when the
law was passed by the legislature
he was not in office, and that the
contest was not decided in his fa-
vor until several months after the
bill became a law. There is not
much merit TO this contention, ac-
cording to the layman's view Of
the matter, for the reason that
the decision of the court virtual.
ly said Gov. Hunt was the gov.
ernor of the state and was being
wrongfully depriv ed of his
rights.

over, are looking for some meth.
Cd to continue the present high
cost of clothing, and at their re
cent meeting in New York de.
cided to make mems coats dou-
ble- breasted as the style this
year, which takes a little more
material and furnish the desired
excuse. With the sudden close
of the war they have a lot OF
material on hand they want to
work off at war prices, and the
consumer is to be made to foot
the bill. With the war on prices
were raised on the plea of a
shortage of material. Why not
make only Prince Albert styles,
and then the editor conceal the
patches on his trousers? That
would help some, and reconcile
