DESIGNS ON STATE
AUTOMOBILE FUND
LEGISLATORS FIRST BUSINESS
TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN
PAY. HOT FIGHT.

ATLANTA.-The solution for the
states immediate financial ailment,
the house was told, is the use of the
automobile fund of $1,750,000.
A hot fight will come in opposi-
ton.
The governor, the budget commits
sion and some of the strongest
house leaders are for the plan, which
was an original plan by the governor
and which is being backed warmly
by Chairman Carswell.
Representative Knight, who OPP
poses it, is author of proposition to
distribute the entire fund among all
the counties on the basis of post road
mileage.
The extra appropriations which
institutions are asking will run more
than a million dollars. The addition
al pension money needed to meet last
years automatic increase bill is
100000, There is not a dollar in
the treasury general fund to meet
any expense, but the diversion until
fall of the automobile fund will, the
house was told, cure the entire all
.ment and can be replaced.
For the first time in the memory of
the present generation the state
treasury suspended payments so far
as salaries of capitol officials and
state employees were concerned.
Several state house officers called
at the treasury during the day to
draw on their salary accounts, as
their habit is. and were almost swept
off their feet when the cashier told
them that there was nothing doing"

Mr.. Phil Mabry Went to Do Some
Work and Never Returned.

Mr.. Phil Mabry, a we'll known citi-

policeman of this city, was found
dead near his home Tuesday after
noon. On account of his large size
he had been doing some manual labor
at times to reduce flesh and during

wood on his land near his house.
Tuesday morning he left the house

his absence and Immediately began

FORMER BANDIT TOWN
IS RULED BY WOMEN
NOT A MAN HOLDS OFFICE IN
JACKSON, WYO., ONCE CEN
TER OF LAWLESS BAND.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.-Awoman may
or, Mrs. Grace Miller, now rules IN
Jackson, the population center of the
Jackson's Hole country which long
was famous in fact and fiction as the
, resort of outlaws, cattle rustlers,
horse thieves and other bad men OF
the west that once was. For what is
said to be the first time in history
there is not a man in the city hall OF
an American municipality, for city
administration composed entirely OF
women has been sworn into office as
a result of the election in May. There
is not man in Jackson's city hall.
Jackson is a diminutive cIty-wlth
a population of not quite 300. Per-
haps no other section of the United
States is so far isolated from the rail-
roads and from all-year traffic. The
nearest railway station is rs miles
away and from November until May
the highway to that station Is vlrtu-
ally impossible. Surrounded by the
high mountains in the range south of
Yellowstone national park, the resi-
dents of Jackson make little or no at
tempt to travel during the winter.
1t was in Jackson's Hole the bad
men made their last stand against the
advancing wave of civilization thirty
or forty years ago There they flock
ed after stealing cattle or horses or
other robberies or hold-ups and band
ed themselves together for mutual
protection.
Today Jackson itself has surrender
ed to the feminist movement and
made a clean sweep of every male Of
fice-holder. The only explanation thus
far given for the overturn comes
from the editor of the Courier, the
city's sole newspaper, who says in
his paper: at is thought the novelty
of being the first CITY on record to be
governed entirely by women helped
them to secure such a complete vic
tory" The editor, who was himself a
candidate, accepts the results without
repining, but says the women sur
prised even themselves by the result 7
There was no unusual campaigning, /
no special issue at stake, nor was
there an unusually heavy vote. Mrs. .
Miller defeated Fred Lovely for may !
or by vote of So to 26. Four wo-
men were elected members of the city |
council over four men candidates by |
about the same relative vote.

ELECTRIC CHAIR IS TO GET
THE THIRD WOMAN VICTIM
Costs State $500 Month to Keep the
Doomed Prisoner. Induced Her
Son to Kill Girl.

DON TO NIIl
OSSINING, N. Y.-Prison attaches
estimate it will cost the state at least
$500 a month to maintain Mrs. Hattie
Dixon, the condemned prisoner who
arrived in Sing Sing to await the elec
trio chair in the improvised woman's
death house over the chaplain's office.
AS condemned prisoners average ten
months stay in the death house she
is likely to cost the state $1,000 be-
fore her fate is decided.
Major Lewis E. Halves, the warden,
has hired three matrons to attend Mrs.
Dixon at 500 month each. Besides
there will be three keepers, each
working eight hours a day, to guard
her. The maximum pay for keepers
now is 1913 a month. So the wages
of her death watch, composed of
three women and three men, will be
SOTO a month. Besides, special cloth
ing has to be purchased for Mrs. Dix
on and some alterations had to be
made to provide quarters for her
Mrs. Dixon induced her 17-year-old
son to kill the Morton girl so that she
could collect her $500 life insurance.
She promised the boy 800 reward.
Young Dixon shot the girl and was
later sentenced to die, but because of
his youth Governor Smith committed
the sentence to life Imprisonment. If
she dies in the electric chair she will
be the third woman electrOcuted in
Sing Sing prison.

PRIMARY LAW INADEQUATE FOR RESULTS DESIRED.

The fundamental principle of the American govern ment is that the people should be represented in the ous units of government by the most acceptable
 majority of the voters. That the most efficient repre- sentation if you please the most popular representa- tive cannot be secured by the operation of the present primary law is evidenced by the results of the recent primary election in Arizona
 The most fragrant and noticeable instance of this kind may seen the result of the vote for the nomination of republican candidate for the United States senate
 Of the four candidates but two actual what may be called bonade conenders the other two entered the race either the result of bad counsel dg ment else inspired by the sinister motives of manp uators who used them pawns in the political game E. S. Clark and Ralph Cameron staged the real battle for the nomination.
 OF the two it is conceded that Clark was the stronger in the hearts of the electors Cameron had the back ing of the party machine and, it is alleged, healthy campaign fund.
 Without fear of successful contradiction we may say that Clark the most popuarn his own party speak ing of the element of voters who knew knew of each canddate only this but Clark had many strong sup posters in th party enough to insure election in this normally democratic state; that counting the support in his party and augmenting it by his host of democratic friends who would have supported him. but who it is foregone concluson will not support Cam eron it is simple arithmetic to figure that Clark the choice of the ority of the people of Arizona for the United States senate.
 This being so we have the spectacle of consider able support lost through the inability of democratic cleo
  and the machine effective enough with the alleged manipulations to nominate Cameron by very few votes The same thing has happened before to other popular candidates of each party and will happen again, it gives experienced politicians another crooked road to achieve their ends.
 In using the term "the people" neither republicans nor democrats any particular party their party name synonymous is the conglomerate, the majority of the whole who to be served yet the minority to rule under the workings of the present primary law.
 As result of the occasion under comment above, Arizona has lost the services of in the United States senate who could undoubtedly have given her the most able representation of any in the state ire spective of party of in whom the citizens of Ar zona have the utmost confidence; who has the spect of those nationally prominent in shaping the des tines of the country of able and conscientious man whose methods and record unbleished by the of campaign which breeds canards and caumny and of whose ability overshadows that of any of his oponents for the nomination in either party-and not least the wopular choice of the majority could such choice have been expressed
