Continued from Page One.) rectly as he announced his own poll icies and platforms.
 Dominant notes in his discussion of state affairs were:
 He believes in the initiative and referendum.
 There are grave defects in our pri- mary laws, especially false registra- tion and the high cost of running for state office, which practically ex- cludes a poor man from becoming a candidate. He cited an instance of a friend of his spending, honestly, $50,000 in a primary campaign in which he was defeated and another $12,000, with similar result. He said he is paying his own expenses, except for cost of local meetings, which are defrayed by local committee.
 He opposes the amendment increas- ing the limitation of indebtedness and favors the amendment permitting the farmers to organize cooperative buy ing and marketing associations. He does not favor the amendment increas- ing terms of office to four years.
 "did SibO, II llC 10 CiCStCh, he will not be a candidate for gover- nor nor any other high office again, his reason being that he believes the honor should be passed around and that man who desires second term will be influenced by that desire when he makes appointments.
 He said if he is elected he and his subordinates will stay on their jobs at the state house, instead of travelling around the state, and will keep ex- penses down to the lowest possible limit.
 MT. Stockton in his talk described the state democratic conference at Tucson, called, he said, not against the law nor in accordance with any law, but merely to harmonize the differ ences between various party factions and to recommend candidates that would prove acceptable to all fac tions, without denying the right of any other persons not endorsed by the conference to become candidates if they chose to.

FOREST PERMITTEES'
 ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED

The first formal meeting of the National Forest Permittees' associa- tion, which has been in course of or ganization for a month or so, was held at Prescott, Arizona, on July 3 and 4, and from reliable reports of this meeting, it is very evident that this movement, formulated in the in- terest only of those stockmen in the state who are users of the National forests for the grazing of their stock will rapidly become very popular among the permittees.
 The objects for which this associa- tion has been formed deal primarily in encouraging a greater and more in- telligent understanding of the live stock industry on the forests among the government officials and members of congress who have in their power the enactment of laws and regulations governing the management of grazing on the forest areas. The grazing on the National forests throughout the entire west has always been admin istered under identical regulations, and for long time the livestock in terests of our state have recommend ed that a more practical set of reg ulations be applied to the breeding conditions of Arizona, which are un- l like the conditions of grazing on the i forests in other states.
 The National Forest Permittees' as- sociation is starting out with definite
 purposes in view, and that policy, 1t | is felt, marks a very successful be- ginning. In addition to advocating certain needed improvements in the
 methods of operation on the part of the Forest Service, particularly in
 urging for the permittees a long-term
 lease for grazing to replace the an-
 nual permit at present in force, this association will prepare itself to show to the government officials and com mittees in congress that the grazing fees now charged on the National for ests in Arizona are excessive. This
 latter mission is particularly pertinent | inasmuch as it is the announced in tention of the forest service to make a substantial increase in the fees next wear over all the forests of the west. That government bureau for some time has been conducting investlga- tions to determine the values of for est ranges in the different states with this one end in view, and the stock men of Arizona feel that the singular conditions prevailing in the state jus tify a reduction rather than a raise
 in the charge for grazing.
 Another vital phase of forest graz ing that in an unexpected early ad- justment will be threshed out by this new association is the declared desire cf the forest service to transfer to the government the ownership of the improvements constructed on the
 ranges by the stockmen during the half century and more of use. The National Forest Permittees' associa- tion is opposed to such action as un-

spirit of legal interpretation and are not founded on partisan politics, all public officials might do we'll to follow them in order that we may all have some uniform guidance. Fur thermore, it would be very unfor- tunate precedent to establish if all the officials and deputy officials of this state, and the clerks and other em- ployes engaged by the various boards and commissions, should reserve to themselves the right to review the opinions of the attorney general and adjudge them from legal standpoint.
 'The particular opinion above re- ferred to has met with considerable objection on the part of partisan pol iticians, but I have yet to find a lawyer who has given the law care ful consideration who is willing to say in writing that the opinion is in er- TOT.
 "In regard to the clerk of the board of supervisors refusing to accept for filing the nomination papers of su- pervisors, feel very sure that the law does not impose upon him the du- ty to sit as a judge and to decide whether he will accept or reject var. ious instruments that are offered to him for filing in his office. l feel very sure that he has no power to exercise any discretion in the selection or rejection of what is offered for filing. If what is offered is improp- erly offered that is law question for courts and judges to decide, and be- lieve that you will agree with me that the judges are apt to be better quail flied to determine this question than the great majority of clerks of the various boards of supervisors.
 q would respectfully recommend therefore, that until and unless the clerk is very certain of his ground, that he accept for filing in his office, all papers that are offered to him for filing. If they are worthless, no harm can come from the filing, and !, if it should transpire that they are properly presented, the clerk has not obstructed the operation of the law, ! and has not exposed himself to crit | icism."

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
 OF SUPERVISOR ELECTION

The tendency on the part of cer- tain county politicians to ignore the law passed by the last regular legis- lature concerning the election of su- pervisors, has met with sharp re- buke from Attorney General w. J. Galbraith.
 A short time ago there was prepar- ed in the office of the attorney gen. eral an opinion interpreting the opera tion of the law with especial refer ence to the election of supervisors in counties that have not yet been div ided into supervisorial districts.
 This opinion has met with consider able opposition in certain political quarters, and the attention of the at torney general was brought to the fact that two public officers openly refused to abide by the ruling.
 Regarding as unfortunate that the welfare of the state should be made subsersive to partisan politics, Gall braith has addressed a letter to all boards of supervisors urging cooper ation in securing uniform observance of the new law. The letter reads as follows:
 'I am just in receipt of inforna- tion that one of the clerks of the board of supervisors of this state de- clines to accept the opinion rendered by this office regarding the election of supervisors this fall, and, refuses to allow nomination papers to'be filed in his office.
 "The official opinions of the office of the attorney general, since my in- cumbency, are and have been, based on the law and not partisan politics. All opinions have been prepared by the assistants of this office, Mir. Geo. R. Hill, who has been practicing law in this state for twenty-two years, or by Judge F. w. Perkins, for seven years judge of the superior court of Coconino county. After an opinion is prepared by either one of these two experienced lawyers, it is then passed upon by the other and approved or disapproved. After the opinion has been prepared by one and approved by the other, it is then submitted to the attorney general, and does not is sue until all three of us concur.
 "I write these facts in order that you may know the precautions taken by this office to express accurate le- gal opinions and that any opinion pre- pared by this office has been prepar- ed and reviewed by at least two ex- perienced attorneys.
 "It is probably true that the opin- ions of this office are not tantamount to the orders of czar, and it may be true that public officials are not compelled to abide by them, but if they refuse to abide by these opinions it would seem tn disclose a serious lack of appreciation that the best in terests of the public at large are pro noted bv careful and conscientious co-operation between all departments of the state and counties.
 "The opinions of this office may be wrong hut it would seem to me that the public welfare would remire that so long as they are given in the strict

SLIGHT CORRECTION

Several weeks ago there was an ac- count in this paper of an auto col lision. This is the correct version of it:

A. the south of the Klaxon the for mer turned cut giving more than half of the road. The latter was driving rather fast and she turned too quick lv into the road again hence catch ing the hind wheel of her car into the front wheel of the formers, send- ing them into the ditch.

Dr. McMullen added, few words about the importance and interest of the proposed pageant. The entertainment committee began at once studying Apache warwhoops.
 c. c. Sargent, after whom the fa- nous school at Monte Vista, Colo, was named and who is state director of school consolidation work in Col orado in connection with the Agricul- tural college at Fort Collins, describ- ed the wonderful work accomplished in ten years in school consolidation in that state. As he started to speak Frank Chisholm and Don Gilchrist gave the Colorado "Aggie" yell.
 Briefly, they have established I'll consolidated schools in AZ counties, with 33,000 pupils. Many rural schools have been eliminated, modern 12-year schools (including 4-year high schools) taking their place. In many counties there are now a quarter or less as many schools as formerly, but the new schools not only offer far greater advantages, but are commun- ity, Sunday school and church centers. Auto bus routes have in many cases been established to carry the pupils to and from these schools, in some cases as many as 20 miles. In one county there are four of these con- solidated schools, replacing more than 30 rural schools. There are only two rural schools left in the county. Not only do the children have nine months study under the best conditions but the consolidation of the schools has paid for itself in better homes, ap- preciated real estate values, better roads and in numerous other ways. There was much meat in Prof. Sar- gents talk and forceful reasons why the plan could be adopted to advan-

reasonably depriving the users of equities built up through long usage, pioneering, hard work and large ex- penditures of money, and will conduct it's investigations and campaign along this line.
 Probably the foremost duty of this new association will be in the way of education. It has always been very apparent that in the discussions and enactments of laws in repect to for est grazing the United States sena- tors and representatives are without accurate and reliable information on the livestock breeding conditions ob- taining in our state, and this new association will have representatives in Washington for this purpose. To energetically strive for recognition in this way has not in the past been at tempted on such scale by the stock raisers of the state, and though it will require extensive facilities on the part of this organization, the stock men feel that it is very essential that action in this direction be taken.
 As matter of fact, the livestock interests on the forests realize that this new step in organization is ab- solutely necessary to bring about the remedies needed to hold up the indus try and to forestall any measures not applicable to the conditions in Ari- zona during what may be regarded in the light of readjustment period in forest grazing. For these reasons this new association is receiving generous response from the stockmen through out the state and its policies and aims are being accorded general approba- tion among them. At the meeting in Prescott Judge c. w. Shute of Globe was made president and Fen s. Hil- dreth of Phoenix was elected secre- tary, and asboard of directors select ed, that has corporate powers in di- recting the affairs of the association. Forest permittees, large and small, from all over the state attended this large meeting, and by re asoofnetaoin large meeting and by reason of the strong endorsement resulting from the meeting it is expected that every per mittee in the state will take advan- tage of this splendid opportunity to become associated with an organiza- tion that has been formed solely for the purpose of protecting and advanc- ing his individual interests.
