RAISE QUESTION OF
 WHY IS LEGISLATURE?
urom Tuesdays Daily)


 PHOENIX, Jan. 24.-The fine Italian hand of the opposition is seen in a series of communications received by members of the legisla- ture lately from the Warren District Commercial club of Bisbee. A new role of dictator of state expenditures has been created for the leader of this movement.
 Signers of the letters include a number of Bisbee men in close har- mony with or employees of the Phelps-Dodge interests, the follow ing being some of them: A. Not man, superintendent of the Copper Queen mine; P. M Buckwalter, cashier of the First National bank; Dr. Blcdsoe, head of the Calumet & Arizona hospital; T. A. Hughes, for mcr senator; J. G. Cowen, superin- tcndent of the electric light company, owned by the Phclps-Dodgc; J. D. Taylor, attorney, and J. J. Bowen, garageman.
 Not only has the club undertaken Ito lay down a policy of unfliching state economy, but it has set down in dollars and cents amounts which the legislature should allow for the conduct of the various state depart mcnts.
 This form of dictation is getting on the nerves of members of the ap- propriations committee, who feel they are in better position to judge where lines shall be drawn. What is the use of the legislature, any way" some of them sarcastically suggest "Why not let the Warren District Commercial club write the appropriation bill and let it go at that?"
 In letter dated January 20, the legislative committee of the club writes all the legislators as follows: "Thc Warren District Commercial club has become very much inter ested in the matter of an economic session of the legislature this year. The c1ub, having this point in view, has appointed a special legislative committee to study the budget of I1919 and the proposed budget of 1921 with the idea of taking this matter up with members of the leg iislaturc" ;
 The committee then goes on with specific suggestions for appropria- tions as follows:
 Corporation commission-S5O0O0.
 State historian-abolish the office Commission of horticulture and jagriculture, auditor, banking depart mcnt attorney general inspector of weights and measures, librarian Livestock sanitary board, mine in-

NOTICE oF SALE oF BONDS

Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the Board of Supervisors of Yavapai County, Arizona, on Saturday, Febru- ary 25th, 1921 at 10 o'clock A. M.. at their office in the Court House in Prescott, Arizona. for the purchase of $1,50000000 bonds of said County, being issued for the purpose of con structing and improving certain high ways in said County. as provided for by resolution adopted March 29th, 1920, and authorized at a special cleo ton held May Sth, 1920 (Said issue consists of 1,5OO bonds of the denom- ination of $1,O0O.OO each, numbered consecutively from 1 to 1900 inclusive dated June 1st, 1920, due and payable $75,OOO00 on June 1st in each of the years 1921 to 1940 inclusive, and

spectOr, treasurer, veterinarian, su- prcme court, game warden, board of health, vocation education, state en- gincer, state laboratory, all the same appropriations as in 1919
 Special fund appropriations to be cut $75,000.
 Military department-$50000.
 Fifty per cent cuts are proposed for vocational education, state road taxes, discontinuatfon of all county fairs, etc.
 In some respects these rccommen- dations coincide with those of the governor in his message, but ill other respects they go much farther.
 The club is especially opposed to the good roads program. This is made evident in another letter to Senator w. P. Sims, condemning Claypoops bill to spend $250,OOO on the Superior Miami highway.
 "They feel that the acute deprcs- sion in the major industries of the state absolutely demands that the government of the state instead of costing more or even as much to ad- minister as during the past period of maximum prosperity should be sub jected to the same careful and in telligent retrenchment as every busi- ness man and taxpayer Is aiming to exercise in the copduct of his pri- vate affairs. The time for such pro jects should be postponed until normal conditions have been re- stored"
 As showing the resentment which the average legislator holds toward this ovcrcrowding from the Warren sidelines there was read in both houses today pointed editorial When Economy is Not Economy in which the writer says:
 'Perpetuating a system of bad roads is not economy, but waste, the effect of which is felt by all. It is wastefulness in automobiles, horses and wagons; it is wastefulness to the producer, handicapped in reach ing the market; it is wasteful to the consumer, whose buying market is limited"
 And, referring to t6e Warren Dis trict Commercial clubs letter. "Wc may pass over the fact that that re- zion of the state has had built for it all the good roads it can expect with state money until other parts of the state have been neglected. The proper time to make an invest mcnt is when one has the money. Arizona can always raise the money"
 The presentation of this view was followed by applause. indicating the opinion of many that whatever econ omics will have to be enforced. noth- ing should interfere with legitimate highway development

ART AND SCIENCE IN
 CLASH OVER TREES
Crrnm Tnesdav.s naiIvl

CTrom Tuesdays Daily)
 The first conflict" between art
 and science that has been staged in
 the city for some time is now pro-
 gressing. The occasion was what
 Robert Born characterized as the
 first public improvement to be start
 ed in the city this year-the removal
 of the old cottonwood trees that for
 Is years have been Sort Of civic
 landmark, at the corner of Gurley
 and Granite streets, and for some years past, according to Born, agent for Joe Daugherty, owner and planter of the trees, civic menace
 The conflict" started when IDaugherty recently ordered the trees taken out, and workmen set out to obey the orders. Seeing the work under way, Miss Kate Cory, noted Yavapai artist, whose Arizona land lscapes have caused much favorable comment in lay as well as artistic circles, felt that the trees should be left.
 T cant see that they are men ace." she stated. q consider them a valuable scenic part of that section of the city. They claim that the sidewalk has been raised by the roots of the trees, but I can't see that 1t has"
 Miss Cory feels that the trees are q part of the natural beauty of Yava- pal that should be preserved. And, ill an attempt to save the old land marks from destruction, she visited the city authorities and requested that the trees be left where they are
 The city authorities side with Daugherty in the matter, and have decreed that the trees shall go. Their runs as follows:
 They are detriment to the side walk, which their roots have broken and pushed up as much as six inches in many places. In the fall, their leaves and the cotton fluff are a | nuisance to the public. The trees are dying, anyway, and there is danger from falling branches. They are ill the way of the city fire-plug. They constitute a menace to pedes- trians approaching Gurley street from Granite at night, for they pre- vent approaching automobiles from being seen and avoided. Mir Daugh- erty is planning to put in new and long steel awning on the front of his building, and the trees are in the way.
 The situation-so the city officials concludes-is this: Many women have complained Of being at night under these trees, which completely shut out the street light and make a dark passageway. It is a wonder to me" said one, that more crimes have not taken place at this spot, but at least the of women must cease"
 Born, who is acting as Daughter -y's agent, said From 10 to Is minutes of electricity are lost every night, through the electric light re- lulred III the building shaded by the .rees-and they are bare of leaves. The roots of the trees will eventual y grip into the foundations of the are doing so now. In he winter, snow collects on the branches, and constitutes a menace o passers-by when it falls.

 Meanwhile, the city authorities lave dccreed that the removal of the rccS, ordered a year ago, shall be arried through, stating that at least 200 people have complained of them.
