VETOES SEVEN ! PARACRAP HS IN ]. OMNIBUS BILL
Important Highway Measure 3 Signed, But Seven Appro-
 priations are Disapproved , By Governor

Governor Thomas E. Campbell yes 1erday signed the omnibus bill, disap- proving paragraphs viewed by him as separate and distinct items of appro- priation, which will have the effect of cutting down the total appropriation S32O,0O0. As the bill now stands the state highway department is in prac- fically the same position as if no legis- tation had been enacted by the legisla- 9ure.
 Governor Campbell in acting charged the men who framed the bill with em- ploying log rolling and pork barrel tactics. He declared the outstanding desire was to secure a slice of pork for some particular locality.
 Local self interest and not the ben eft of the state as a whole seemed to De the dominating idea in framing sen ate bill 51. This selfish and narrow spirit was in the ascendancy at all times and is found deeply imbedded in the measure" he stated in the message transmitted to the secretary of state. The governor would have vetoed the bill in its entirety, he said. were it not for the fact that the laws are made auate to admit the construction of q system of state highways without spe- eial appropriations and relatively nominal sums from sources other than by tax levy must be expended in the

WEEKLY LUNCHEON IF K|WAN|S CLUB
 |S WELL ATTENDED

Featured by the opening of the inter national attendance contest and the appearance of three students at the Arizona School of Music on the en- tertainment program, the weekly lun- cheon of the Kiwanis club at the '. M. c. A. building yesterday was one of the best attended in months. The program of the day had been arranged exceptionally well and from the time the luncheon opened until the gavel of President Royal w. Lescher had banged the table in disnising the members and their guests. there was something doing.
 The artists who assisted in making the luncheon one quite out of the or dinary were Miss Susan Merle Bald win, vocalist: Mrs. L. L. Danas accom- pianist and Miss Winne Hoopes, reader. Miss Baldwin began the en- tertainment program with a beautiful rendition of "A Birthdays and as first and second encores she sang "A White Rose" and 'A1r. Robin Miss Hoopes recited Her First Call to the Butcher which was delivere-a so humorously that the biwanians vociferously en- cored her Her second selection was
 Keeping a Seat at a Benefit" which was received as joyously as the first.
 The meeting opened with the singing 2 of America" and the introduction of guests, after which Erskine Mason re- ported that the workers who had been given by the kiwanis club to the cam paign for the Welfare League had raised approximately one-half of all the funds subscribed. Press Bancroft, general agent of the Arizona Eastern railway, was then introduced as the handsomest, if not the most efficient chairman of the day that the club has had in months
 The attendance prize was then drawn and was won by the Rev. Al. Stavely. The prize was donated by Gene Hughes. Dr. Henry T. Bailey will give the prize next week, and Tom Nichols will deliver the trade talk.
 Major Duncan of the Salvation Army then made a brief plea for workers in the Army drive for funds which is now under way, and Major Lamar Me- Kinley asked that members of the Xii wanis club afford chances of employ ment whenever possible to members of the National guard. many of whom are looking for work.
 The trade talk was given by F. M Lamson, president of the Lamson Busi- ness college, who explained the work of his institution and then named an imposing list of the prominent men of the west who had taken business courses there
 When the Kiwanians entered the dining room they found that the tables had been grouped so that the members of the four teams in the attendance contest could sit together. The score for the first meeting was Wildcats. 22; Rattlesnakes, 21; Coyotes, 21, and Gila 1 Monsters, IT.
 Announcements were also made con- corning the death of Eric Goldberg, one of the charter members of the club and | the presentation at a local theater soon of moving pictures of the annual bar | becue of the club.
 The guests of the Kiwanians yes l terday were P. D. McLaurin, Phoenix

 Martin, Phoenix: Harry Strangman

 Explains Disapprovais
 In explanation of his veto of certain
 paragraphs which will affect road
 building in Apache, Greenlee, MohaNe, Santa Cruz and Cochise counties, the governor stated that in his Judgment it
 is best to temporarily eliminate proJ-
 ects from the road program which can not be classified as links in the hlgh- way system. He based his opinion on the ground that road building would place tax burdens on the people at a
 time when the major industries of the
 state are close to point of paralyza- tion-
 The governor did not ignore the fact that since the adjournment of the leg islature the constitutionality of the
 omnibus bill has been in dispute. II this act be constitutional, and doubts have been expressed as to that feature of it, the amount of money approprl- ated by it's terms eliminating the items which do not meet with my approval, will practically be the same as II no highway legislation had been enacted | by the fifth Arizona legislature II l the act does become effective imme- diately, as I hope it will, it will be made 1 operative at once, thus retaining the services of an organization which has

 IF SHEEP TAX ARGUED

The constitutionality of the Arizona sheep grazing act. which requires non residents to pay tax of 25 cents a head on every sheep grazing in the state, was argued in the supreme court yesterday in the case of James Smith. appellant, versus w. P. Mahoney, sher- If Of Mohave county. appellee. Smith refused to pay the tax and was found guilty and fined $50. He brought the matter into the supreme court. where he was represented by Hon. G. w. Straup. former justice of the supreme court of Utah.
 Judge Straup held that in demanding penalty from a nonresident not required of a resident the state was discriminating. He argued that inc law was unconstitutional. The state was represented by Attorney General Galbraith and Charles Herndon of Kingman

OPPOSES FUND FOR
 POULTRY STATION

Holding that no necessity exists for the establishment of a poultry experi- ment station at Glendale under the su- pervision of the bureau of animal in dustry of the II. s. department of agri- culture, Governor Thomas F. Campbell yesterday vetoed house bill 109. an act which appropriated S1,500 to be applied on the purchase price of site
 The governor held that the work was being efficiently and effectively han dled through the division of poultry husbandry of the University of Ari- zona
 "Researcll work to be of benefit to the poultry raisers of this state can in my judgment. be more efficiently administered through the department of the University of Arizona mentioned than by the federal government at long range" he said in his veto message
 'The appropriation of S1,500. al though small. might perhaps prove an entering wedge for more money to be expended for the maintenance of this particular project The placing of the responsibility upon the state avoids all possible misunderstanding and differ ences of opinion in administration and rivalry in the securing of appropria- tions. The preferable way to handle this matter would be for the United States government to appropriate
 money to aid in the work of the univer- sity experiment station

.ltor Gronna was back on the Job with
the opening of the present session and
as Chairman of the Committee on Az
riculture, the junior senator from North
Dakota has taken prominent part in
the Legislative work of the session. The
War Finance resolution is regarded as
the most important legislation which

since December. Gronna will retire
from office on March 4th, upon the ex-
when he will be succeeded in the Senate
by DR.. +. f. Ladd of Fargo.

The fight for the adoption of the
emergency tariff bill in the Senate was
forced out in the open early last week
by its sponsors in the upper house but
prospects for a final vote upon the bill
before March 4th are fast dwindling.
Senator McCumber opened the debate in
a spirited reply to Senator Pat Harris IN
of Mississippi, who is credited with
leading a Democratic filibuster against
the bill.
