CROSS VIOLATION OF
 STATES SALARY LAW IS
 CHARGE NOW BROUGHT

PHOENIX. March 1.-Charges of violations of state laws on the part of the attorney generals office in the matter of the number of assistants and the salaries they are paid have been laid before Governor Campbell, and according to reports, are being investigated by him.
 The law provides that the attor- ney general shall have one assistant ali a salary of s25Oo per year. one law clerk at salary of $500 and two stenographers at a combined sal ary of s2700 a year. thus bringing the total office expenses to s700o in addition. there is a clause in the last appropriation bill which seems 10 pro- vide an additional assistant al s2500 Granting that this is the intention Of the law the official pay roll would come to ss.5O0 per year outside of the attorney generals salary. As a matter of fact total of $15,60o is be- ing paid, or s6,l00 in excess of the legal allowance. it is claimed. Owing to the illness of Attorney General Jones. who is still in the hospital suffering from nervous breakdown he could not be questioned in refer ence to the alleged discrimination. In an unofficial statement. however, one of his deputies pointed out that one of the assistants is paid by the tax commission and another by the corporation commission. Whether this excuse will stand the test of the best legal opinion is matter which may be determined by the present probe.
