"RUDOLPH KUCHLER, State Land Commissioner"

State Land Commissioner"
 The opinion in full follows:
 Article 10, section II, of the consti- tuition of the state of Arizona pro- vides that no individual, corporation or association shall be allowed to pur- chase more than l60 acres of agricul- tural land, or more than GAO acres of grazing land.
 Section 58 of the state land code provides that no individual, corpora tion or association shall be allowed to purchase more than $40 acres of graz ing land or more than 160 acres of land susceptible of immediate use for agricultural purposes, and no sales, leases or sub-leases of state lands shall be made to persons who are not citizens of the United States, or who have not declared their intention to become such, nor to corporations or associations not qualified to transact business in the state of Arizona.
 ''These appear to be the only statu- tory or constitutional written pro- visions.
 At the time of statehood, our state became the owner of a considerable body of land, which experience and development for the past eight or ten years have taught us has value and worth we were at first very much in clined, as a public, to overlook. The just and proper administration and conservation of this wealth has be- come to the state problem of the first magnitude. It is quite probable that in 1915 (when our land code was enacted, we, as a state and people, did not appreciate nearly so emphatically as we do now the great importance of this heritage, and for that reason the then law did not clearly set forth as well as might have been the detailed administration of the land
 However, one thing is clear, name ly, the intent and purpose of the own ership of the land and the administra- tion thereof must be for the benefit of the state and the people as whole. Therefore, the interpretation of the letter of the law, or possibly even the lack of the letter, must be in the light of the well-recognized intent and pur- pose.
 "Our state is not business enter prise in the sense that its first and highest duty is to make a profit in dollars and cents. The first great purpose of a state sovereignty is to guarantee and promote the welfare and prosperity of its citizens. To a state, an increasing population of home builders is the greatest index to success-the greater the home build ing population the greater becomes the state-and every energy and re- source of the state should be direct ly toward the encouragement and pro-

A person who has acquired $40 acres of grazing land or l60 acres of agricultural land has exhausted his rights to any further aid along the line of purchasing state lands, accord ing to an oponion rendered by w. J.. Galbraith, attorney general.
 The opinion, which touches many phases of the land question, is im- portant in that it will be adopted by Rudolph kualler, state land commits sioner, as the policy of his department.
 How much land may one person purchase, what constitutes purchase of state land, and what is the date of purchase, are the questions put to the states legal adviser by Mir. Kuchler and which are fully covered in the opinion.
 Mr. Kuchler's query follows:
 Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 10, 1921. Hon. w. J. Galbraith, Attorney Gen
 eral, Capitol Building, Phoenix,
 Ariz.
 My Dear Mr. Galbraith: In check ing over a recent land sale we find that two different purchasers entered into contracts to purchase GAO acres each of state lands. Investigation shows that one of these parties al ready held a patent for $40 acres of grazing lands, and the other held a certificate of purchase of 340 acres; all prior to the last sale.
 kindly advise the procedure neces- sary to annul these sales, if in your opinion they should be annulled; and answer also as to what your office considers the legal date of purchase of lands within the purview of the con stitution limiting the number of acres which may be purchased by single individual. Is it the date when land is struck off at auction to him, or the date of the patent?

PIONEER IF THE PERRY EXPLOIT
 PASSES BEYOND

Comrade of those naval heroes who, under Commodore Perry, open ed Japan to the world and created what is now the most ardent ques- ton in California, John C. Green was a pioneer of the pioneers. Death, due to his advanced age, took John Green at the Pioneer Home last night, ending the career of the man for whom it has been said he was the last of the Perry expedition.
 Green enlisted in the navy prior to 1853 when the famous Perry tour to the far east was made, and at that time, according to the custom of the country, gave fictitious name. He called himself John Gallagher. He returned with the commodore's fleet and at San Francisco, hearing the first vague but stirring rumorS from the north, deserted his ship and join ed those Pacific coast rovers who made up the backbone of the gold rush to Caribou, Canada-a rush that ranked with the Klondyke trek.
 He was born at Providence, R. l., on June "A, 1855. He entered Ari- zona via the old Ehrenburg ferry in 1872. Thirty-five or forty years ago he was partner in business in the south of the state with C. G. Powell, until recently superintendent of the state prison.
 He was admitted to the Pioneer Home on April Y, 1907, and at the time of his death was one of the longest term guests at that place.
 MT. Green is survived by daugh- ter, a Mrs. Gates, whom the super intendent, George A. Shea, is at tempting to locate. Mrs. Gates is said to live in the south of the state.

SALVATION ARMY BEGINS ITS

western commander of the Salvation Army, $3,000 for immediate relief from southern California. Commis- sioner Clifford, who arrives in the flood area today, will take personal command of the entire converging resources and personnel of the Sal vation Army assembled from Calf fornia, Arizona, Colorado, New Mex ico, Wyoming, Montana and other western states which have been or dered to send their contributions to Denver.
 "The Salvation Army is particular ly well equipped and adapted to give the relief that is needed at Pueblo" said Brigadier Boyd, flor our forces are organized along milf tary lines, know how to take orders, are trained in first aid and relief work, can make a dollar go farther than any other organization and can guarantee that 100 cents of every dollar contributed will go directly into relief work.
 q have directed, in conjunction with Commissioner Clifford, that every corps in southern California and Arizona immediately take steps to secure contributions to add to this fund. The governor of Colo rado estimates a need for $20,000,00 to effect substantial relief. These American citizens in a neighboring state are in more acute distress, more serious danger than the people of any nation or region on earth and America which has relieved the starv- ing in Asia and the sick and unclad in Europe, surely, with even more kindly hearts and liberal hands, will minister to its own people.
 Subscriptions may be sent to Sal vation Army headquarters, 130 South Broadway, Los Angeles, marked flood relief work or turned in to any corps headquarters in southern California or Arizona, from which they will be relayed each day to field headquarters at Denver"

First to the front on the battle field of life, the Salvation Army of southern California and Arizona has begun gathering endorsements to back up its heroic members working in the flood districts of Colorado.
 Last Saturday, though one-half of his force had been drowned and a member of his advisory board at Pueblo also lost in the flood, Col onel Davis, commanding the Colo rado division of the Salvation army, organized two relief squads, one on either side of the flood area, pur- chased a carload of food and med cal supplies in Denver, and with the waters still rising, carried the Sal vation Army flag into the disaster stricken region.

Mine Assessment Work Is Due July ISt


 Only l9 days remain to mining men to complete assessment work on their claims. This is the cor rect answer to frequent inquiries oecasioned by rufnors that the time limit on assessment work had been extended. As the matter stands legally, assessment work on mine claims must Be done be- fore July 1st.
 A bill passed by the last con- gress extended the time for as- sessn1ent work to the first of July, 1921, the bill being signed and becoming effective just a few hours before the previous limit expired.
 The notion that the time limit had again been extended grew out of the fact that several efforts to this end have been made in the present congress, at least three bills having been introduced in the two houses. Nothing has been done, however, as there seems to be a strong congressional opposi- ton to the extension.

 CHAPTER AIMS
Support of Licensing Law Advo- cated Despite Its Faults at First Regular Meeting of New Organization
From Tuesdays Dailvl

VT run 1uESudy . OdlyJ
 Support of engineers, members of the chapter and association of the recently-organized Prescott chapter of the American Association of En- gineers, for the state engineers licensing law, passed by the last legislature, was advocated at the first regular monthly meeting of the as sociation, held Saturday night in the chamber of commerce rooms here. This support was advocated in spite of the fact that the consensus of opinion of the meeting was to the effect that the new law is faulty in many respects, and could be greatly improved in the interest of engineers and of the public.
 Other business at the meeting con sisted of the reading by the secre- tary of several communications from the district secretary, including the report of the delegate of the south western district to the national con- vention at Buffalo.
 Recent previous meetings of the Prescott chapter have been devoted to details of perfecting the organiza- ton, election of officers, appoint ment of committees, etc.
 Officers of the new chapter are Homer R. Wood, president; J. Will liam Waara, first vice-president; R.. E. Chambers, second vice-president; O. M. Wold, secretary; and L. E. Smith, treasurer.
 Arrangement of regular monthly luncheons or other entertainments, where not only members of the or ganization, but visitors also, will be welcomed, was proposed as means of encouraging a get-together spirit among engineers here, and particular 1y among members of the organiza- tion. One of the purposes of the or ganization is to acquaint the public with the true position of the engineer in relation to matters affecting pub lie welfare and private enterprise.
 In accordance with the constitution and bylaws of the Prescott chapter, regular meetings are to be held every second Saturday of each month. The next regular monthly meeting of the chapter will be held in the rooms of the chamber of commerce Saturday evening, July 9, at o'clock.
