Wants Fewer Laws


 Again do not believe in the making of a great lot of laws every
 two years. 1t is true we act
 through once in a while in two
 years with small block, but
 usually the new Jaws fill a book
 of several hundred pages. 1t fire.
 quentiy happens that law is pas
 sed-does not suit some person
 and Is re-enacted to change some
 trifiing detail. l believe it would
 be better for the people of this
 country if fewer laws were made
 and those now on the statute
 books were properly enforced.
 Another thing do not believe:
 that is the creation of lot more
 boards and commissions in this
 state. Frequently a board is ap-
 pointed and it starts with the ap-
 propriation of $1500 or $2ooU, in a
 few years it grows so that it re-
 quires great amount of help, and
 such an appropriation that the
 very board that started small be-
 comes menace to the people of the state. We have enough boards
 and commissions in this state and
 we have all, it seems to me, that
 the people can stand.
 Taxation
 "The question of taxation is be coming of such tremendous import that the business man, the farmer the home owr{er-each fes.cs what the end will be. Only few years ago we had some three to five mil lion dollars indebtedness in this state Today the bonded indebtedness i: more than 43 millions. I am not blam ing the republican party for this every one of us is to blame for it But it is to blame to a great eXtenr for the high taxes that we now mus meet. For, as I said at the Tucsor conference. If anyone came along and said Let's create an indebt ness we grabbed the banners, tool Excelsior from them to make room for Vote the Bonds and were of with a whoop, little thinking that must at some time b. paid.
 NThe industries you have already developed are going to stand the greatest share of this tax burden the farmer, the mines and others.
 Will Not Serve Alone
 T know that pledges and promises are easy to make, and I am not going to say that if I am elected 1 will i'm reduce your taXes-I don't believe that could be done. I donr want this high office gained by.me by telling lies. I have not had to tel lies to live and prosper in way, and I am not going to change my mode e living and my ideas of right ant wrong for the sake. of any politica office. The indebtedness which yoI have created is going to be paid, ant no governor will be able to say tha it shall not be paid.
 ''But I may say to you that if I an elected to this office I am not going to be alone in the governors chair ! am going to work with the men ant women of Arizona who are elected t; accompany mo into the state office am going to see if, by united effort we can not save to the people of thi' state q great amount of money which in my judgment can be saved.

LOREE ESPOUSES
EMPLOYEES CAUSE

New York, July A.-(By A. P)-
A challenge to President Harding and
Ben w. Hooper. chairman of the
United States Railway Labor Board. to
study the rail strike situation mot
only from the strikers standpoint, but
from the standpoint of the present EN-.
ployes' was issued today by l.. F.
1loree, president Of the Delaware and
Hudson and chairman Of the Eastern
Railroad Presidents Conference. Mr..
Hooper is quoted as saying as might
be supposed, the President seeks to con.
fer with this situation from every an.
gle-from the viewpoint Of the carriers,
the employees, the Labor Board and the
public :" said Mr.. Loree.
"As far as I am advised neither the
President nor the chairman Of the La.
Dor Board has ever made any effort
whatsoever to ascertain the viewpoint
of the employe. The strikers point Of
view has been developed at great length,
but no effort has been made to develop
the employees point Of view.'
Mr.. LOree's open espOusal OF the
cause of men who remained at work or
were hired since the shop crafts strike
began was made when he called a
meeting today of the presidents Of forty
roads, members Of the eastern confer
ence, to discuss formation Of com
pany" unions on all roads. to succeed
the six striking crafts which IRE affili !.
ated with the American Federation Of
Labor.
! The opening Of the fourth week OF
the, strike in this district finds union
leaders estimating the walkout 65 to
90 per cent effective in various centers,
while spokesmen for the roads cut these
figures in most cases below 80 per cent,
and in q few instances to less than 1C
per cent. In these estimates the unions
refer to the number Of their men or
strike, the employers to the number oi
old and new men at work.

HOW 4 MAN FEELS
IN DEATH HOUSE

GREENVILLE, S. c., March IL
How does it feel to be in the death
house? The question was asked
Cliff Hawkins, young white man
brought back to Greenville Tuesday
from the state penitentiary to re-
ceive again the sentence of death for
killing William Morgan on the Hen
Jacksonville road in July, 1920. He
gave this answer:
80, it didn't feel any different
than if I had been running around
in the Jail yard" He talked freely
and appeared to be in good spirits,
and some idea was obtained of what
runs through the mind of a man
who faces death by electrocution.
Hawkins was taken to the peniten-
tiary last September, and he spent
two months in the death house. His
prison corhpanions were. four other
white men whose names are we'll
known to South Carolinians: They
were Fox Gappins and Kirby, con-
victed slayers Of a Columbia taxi
driver and college student, and Ed
man, convicted of the murder of
several members of his family.
Speaking of his experiences in the
death house Hawkins said, I'VE
sang and prayed while, and then
we talked while" Asked how he
felt about his case. he replied,
everybody has got to die some time.
I figure I just as well die now as
later. I don't feel bad about it. If
they think I have done something I
ought to die for. then I'm ready to
co."
Asked if he had any hope Of es-
Gaping the death penalty, he said:
''Well, it looks pretty bad, but Of
course I have hope: as long as a
man is alive. he has hope, you
know"
Attorneys said that they were I'M
able to say whether any further
legal move would be made to save
the young mans life. He was also
indicted for the murder of a negro
woman whom he shot a dax> before
he killed Morgan. HE VIII proba'

IN ST. AUGUST NE

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March 16.
,-Rv the Associated Press.) 7-Presi;
dent Harding strolled through the
streets Of st. Augustine Wednesday
afternoon and shook hands with
scores who stopped him to extend
berscnal greeting and welcome to
the city. Accompanied by Undersec-
rotary of State Fletcher, he viewed
points of interest and the pictur-
esoue effects of narrow streets and
ancient buildings in this, the Oldest
city in the United States, while he
stopped and chatted with many per-
sons.
ST. Augustine considers President
and Mrs. Harding as virtual resi-
dents, for during their stay here a
little more than year ago they
made the acquaintance Of hundreds.
The president appeared to enjoy
mingling with them and to share
their pleasure at the renewal of for
mer ties.
"You young people have a good
time" he said to an automobile
party who had hailed him. 81 was

lowed him at little distance.

their wishes fulfilled when the chief
executive turned and gave each a
hearty handclasp.
Mr.. Harding with his vacation
party arrived here by special train
from Palm Beach, and Immediately
went to the golf links for his favor
lite game. During the afternoon, how,
ever, he remained in his hotel ex-
cept for the walk about the city.

TRIAL Of BERRIEV
MAY START TUESDAY

While the case has not been put
on the calendar for the criminal
division of Fulton superior court,
it is understood that hearing on the
case Of r. N. Berrien, Jr., charged
with appropriating about $45,0O0 in
state schools warrants to his own
use, will be up for trial Tuesday be-
fore Judge John D. HUMPHREYS.
It also is understood sixteen bills
against Berrien have been drawn In
the office of the solicitor general
and will be presented to the grand
jury Friday.
This action comes as the result of
an investigation into the legality of
tho indictment now standing against
Berrien, in which he is charged with
having appropriated state funds in
tended for the use of sixteen county
school boards.
Counsel for Berrien have main
tanned, since the bill was drawn,
that it was legally weak and that
the school warrants when placed in
the brokers' hands became his prop
erty, and whether he disbursed
them properly to the right authori-
ties was another question.
It is understood that Solicitor
General John A. Boykin has de-
the grand jury, each one charging
with iYTncrII Ia 1-itu in
the Sixteen separate transactions.
AS to the original bill, no intima-
ton as to what will be done with
it has been made from the solicitor
generals office.
Berrien has been in Fulton Tower
about a month in default of $4,000
brokers office in New York
Soon after charges were made by
State Superintendent Of Schools NJ.
l.. Britain that the broker had en-
bezzled state funds amounting to
about $4,000, Berrien disappeared
and the country was secured for
several weeks for the missing man.
He was apprehended by Pinker-
ton operative and was brought back
to Atlanta by Deputy Sheriff Lee
Whatley.
Since his return Berrien has re-
fused to discuss his case with news
paper men, but his lawyers have
protested that there is no cause for
criminal action against the broker,
claiming it is entirely a civil matter.
Berrien had been discounting state
school warrants about two years,
and first complaints were made
when several county school heads in
formed State Superintendent Brit
tain that drafts issued to them by
Berrien were not honored by local
banks.
1t lis understood counsel for Ber-
rien will charge certain banks with
diverting his private accounts and
leaving his affairs in such shape
that he was unable to meet the
drafts when they were presented for
payment.
-The law firm of Watkins, Russell
& Asbill recently has been retained
to assist Attorneys James l.. Ander-
Sson and John S. Highsmith in de-
Tending the broker.

The Mississippi river gauge here

day, a rise of 3 of a foot in twenty
four hours. The river is rising very
slowly now, but arrival here of flood

AMERICA To SEND
ALLIES NEW NOTE

WASHINGTON, March ia
note from the United States gov.
eminent on this country's claim for
payment of $241, 100000 to meet the
cost of the American army of occu-
patton in Germany, will be dispatch
ed to the allied powers shortly, it
was understood here today.
This note will present the Amer
lean claim directly to the powers.
Identic notes probably will be sent
to the French, British and Italian
Governments--by Secretary of State
Hughes, it was indicated.
This step follows the decision of
the allied finance ministers in re-
serving action on the demand of
the ,$241, 100000 presented by Ro-
land w. Boyden, the unofficial
American representative on the repa-
rations commission, at the meeting
Of the ministers in Paris.
The reservation of the American
claim left the question to be settled
by the various allied governments
themselves, thus making it neces-
sary for the United States to take
the matter up direct with these gov
ernments.
An important diplomatic fight with
the allies to secure recognition of
the army of occupation claim now
faces Secretary Hughes, this prob
lem being similar to the fight that
Mr.. Hughes won in securing recog-
milton of American rights in the
mandate uueStion
