MINER RECEIVES LETTER
 FROM YUCCA RESIDENT

luVII IUVVn llLOlDLNl
 Fred Leonard, of Yucca, has some thing to say concerning the recall of school trustees:
 June 23, 1920. Editor of Mohave County Miner, Dear Sir:
 In the article appearing in the Miner of June 1920 and headed
 STAGING RECALL OF YUCCA
 SCHOOL TRUSTEES
 which article is neither fair or just to those voters desiring the recall of said trustees, the article aside from it's somewhat sarcastic tone contains sev- eral misstatements of facts, first MT. Janc was elected to the office of school trustee, and not appointed, MT. Jerome was appointed nearly year ago beside having served term prior to that, second it is within the person al knowledge of the writer that others besides MT. yanc and MT. Jerome would have accepted the office of school trustee, farther the writer is in possession of the civil code 1913 of Arizona together with the session laws issued since, and on examination of the law fails to find any justifi- cation of the statement in the article quoted, that all officers who are sub jected to the recall movement are al- lowed $2OO for election expenses, if the writer of the article will read paragraph 1852, title 22 civil code of Arizona, he will find that a County officer is allowed only so much of $2OO as shall cover his reasonable election expenses, and for which he must file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors an itemized statement. Now in view of the fact that the cleo tion of school trustees in the past in Yucca district, have not cost anybody anything but their time, I see no req son why this election should cost any more, and do not think that recall elections will become a popular sport because of the recall election in Yucca district.
 l am quite certain that the voters of this district will be glad to take advantage of the recourse mentioned by the writer of the Miner article, in which the statement is made that (trustees are within the purview of the County Superintendent of schools and can be removed for cause), provided that the writer of that article will show any law covering that phase of the matter.
 Now in regards to the good citizen ship of MT. Janc and MT. Jerome, Il am not aware that any person ques- toned that, but it is also a fact that those that desire the recall of the trustees are quite as good citizens as MT. Jane or MT. Jerome, the signers of that petition were all parents of attending the Yucca school, and represented at least two thirds of the children attending the Yucca school, and these by the way were not all the parents who were dissatisfied with the conduct of the school, in fact know of but one family that is sat- isfied, that being the family of MT. Janc, MT. Jerome has no family. If all the parents who are dissatisfied do as they announce they will do in the event that the conduct of the school is not changed, namely that they will not send their children to the Yucca school then it will not be a question of just who will be school trustees, but rath- CT question of any school at all in Yucca district.
 In conclusion I will say that to my mind, it would have been perfectly proper for the school trustees, to have gracefully stepped to one side and al- lowed those parents whose children attend the school, something to say in regards to the conduct of the school, for after all is said, I firmly believe that they are better qualified to judge of the fitness of the conduct of the school, than the present school trus- tees, or for that matter of that of the writer of the Miner article also. would respectfully ask you for space and the same prominence for this let ter in your valuable paper, as the ar ticle quoted has had.
 Very respectfully yours,
 FRED LEONARD.
