ARIZONA TO GET FULL
QUOTA OF U, s. TRUCKS

PHOENIX. Oct 16-Following :
,ie-up in the movement OF trucks ana
other equipment from the army can
tonments to the state highway de
partment. good news has been receiv-
ed by State Engineer Tom Maddox
TO the effect that Arizona will re-
ceiye the full quota of the original
allotment as made by the department
Of agriculture.
Trucks are now coming in in large
quantities. There are 800 yet to be
received TO fill the original quota,
The interruption TO the movement
was due to a point raised by legal ad-
visers of the war department as to
whether the trucks should be inc,u-
dad with other army equipment in the
turnover of equipment.
The situation is cleared up II an
option given by United States A.
torney General Mitchell E. Palmer.
copy OF which has been received
by Maddox. This opinion. which was
written to the secretary of agricl,-
ture says:
The act OF July 10, 1919. does not
purport TO deal with all war supplies,
motor-propeiled equipment. etc, but
only with the unused and surplus
equipment of that character. and in
the absence of express repeal OF pre-
vious appropriations, it naturally
means the equipment remaining. not
needed for the uses of the war de-
nartment. and not already appropria-
ted to other specific uses by an ac-
OF congress"
In conclusion the opinion holds tina;
il is discretionary with the secre-
idIN "a Wal as ~ NHelutT he Will

refuse to transfer"
The release of trucks already a.
lotted TO Arizona is taken to imply
tia: the allotment constitutes a tran :
fer. and that no steps will be taken
to interfere with the taking over OF
equipment which has been tram
ferred.
As TO whether Arizona viii! Obtain
