ND APPOINTMENT TO IMMIGRATION PEST
 YET, SAYS GOVERNOR

That an immigration commissioner will not be appointed at the present time. and not until the need arises" |" was the word given out yesterday by Governor Thomas E. Campbell. Since Wednesday, when the governor signed the bill which created the commission anS which carries the emergency, ru- nor has been rife that the commits sloner would be one close to the gov ernor.
 The man whom state house gossip connected with the position is Percy R. Mines. private secretary to the chief executive
 Hasn't he a herman job now?' asked Governor Campbell when the question of appointment of Mir. Mines was preached. He added that an ap- pointment would not be made until there was need. which probably will not be until summer, when the govern- ments contracts. with Mexican labor are entered into.
 One of the reasons the public asso- ciated MT. Mines with the commission is said to be the active part he took in securing the passage of the bill He is said to have worked indefatigably to have 1t pass the house and senate, and it was in the governors posses sion but few moments before it bore his signature and was transmitted to the secretary of state.
 The cotton associations it is under stood were behind the bill. the neces- sfty for such a law having made itseH manifest to the associations during the recent labor troubles that grew out of the cotton situation in the valley. When the trouble arose, President Ob- regon appealed directly to the govern or, who at that time pointed out the need of having someone with authority in the state to act in such matters
 The commissioner. who will be named by the governor, will serve for four years. His salary will be s250 a month. with s5000 year for travelling expenses.
 In addition to creating the post of commissioner of immigration the legis- lature has passed bill which creates three industrial commissioners at sal aries of S4Uu0 year. The bill, sub stitute senate bill S5, is said to have met with the approval of both the employer and the employe. It embodies all the best features or the workmen's S compensation law and the accident in dustrial act according to it's critics This bill has not yet been signed by the governor.
 Governor Campbell begins reading bills as early as 6 o'clock in the morn ing and spends two hours before break fast at the task He also devotes
 
 same work, while it has not been un- common for him during the past few weeks to work as late as midnight, either at his office or at home. in going over the bills which he must sign or veto.
 According to the statutes, if any bill be not returned within five days after it shall have been presented to the governor Sunday excepted}. such bill shan become a law in like manner as if he had signed 1t, unless the legisla ture by its final adjournment prevents its return. in which case it shall be filed with his objections in the office of the secretary of state within 10 |ays after such adjournment Sunday exceptea). or become law as provided in the constitution.
 Governor Campbell has no idea, of taking a we'll earned rest after the strenuous legislative days, but will complete state business that requires his attention. going later to Washing ton, after the new congress convenes, in the interests of the reclamation bill. He will leave for Washington some time in April. when there will be a joint meeting there of the League of the Southwest, of which he is presi- dent, and the Western States Reclama- tion association.
