FINDS DISCREPANCY
IN HIGHWAY FUNDS.
Federal Clerk Says U. S.
Funds Expended in Texas
Do Not Check With Balance.
BY the Associated Press.

AUSTIN, Tex, November 20
Texas. three-cornered highway en-
broglio again took the stage in Dis
triCt Court here today with the ten
sion heightened by an unexpected an
gle, involving an alleged discrepancy
of $3.50, 900 Federal aid highway funds.
This was brought out late yesterday in
the attorney generals contract annul-
ment and restitution suit against the
American Road Co.
The State Highway Commission
was in the limelight again yesterday,
when testimony of witness held the
commissioners accountable for an ap-
parent shortage of Federal aid funds
in their care. G. A. SchutZe, Federal
aid clerk, declared in response to ques-
tioning of Attorney General Dan
Moody, that Federal funds received
and expended in Texas did not check
with the balance on hand.
Last night, however, Chairman
Frank Lanham defended the commits
sion with an explanation designed to
show that the Federal aid system OF
funding is subject TO fluctuations.
Sometimes the State owes the Govern
ment, and at other times the Gov
ernment is debtor to the State in the
balancing of the funds, he said
Yesterdays session perceptibly
quickened the pace of the trial,
started Monday, when the attorney
general plunged into an attempt to Sc
cure the annulment of outstanding
contracts let by the highway com
mission to the American Road Co.,
charging fabulous profits and illegal
collusions. MCody's petition charges
that contracts were let to the defend
ant company without competitive hi,
ding.
Gov. Ferguson is watching the pro
ceedings closely. Added color is lent
to the situation by the fact that her
husband. former Gov. James F. Fer
guson, was charged openly with dom
mating the highway commission.

KILLING PRAIRIE DOGS

Wilcox - Prairie dogs have
been exterminated in Cochise
county, according to D. A. Gil
christ, in charge of Arizona 70
dent control for the biological
survey. Once the prairie dog
villages occupied half million
acres within the county. Then
was started an intensive cam
paign, joined in by the farmers
and stockmen.
A carload of grain was pur
chased which was treated with
poison and distributed in the af
fected districts. Cowboys car.
ried the poison out, to be placed
in small quantities at the mouth
OF each burrow. Thus, it has
been estimated, 80 per cent OF
the rodents were destroyed. The
others we're reached with carbon

lagos were surrounded with bar.
rem expanses now are grassy
pastures.
Mr.. Gilchrist also is success
ful in handling the more general
rabbit pest though he admits the
jackrabbis is a very elusive AMI
NAL. The method used is to
bait" the rabbit trails with
fresh alfalfa in small quantities.
When the rabbits have become
accustomed to feeding on this

SENATOR WiNSOR OUSTED.

Phoenix. - Senator Mulford
Winsor, of Yuma, president of
the last senate, was relieved
from his duties as clerical assist.
ant to the state code revision
commissioner Wednesday morn
ing following the refusal of Gov.
Hunt to counter sign a claim for
$500 representing two months
salary.
In refusing to countersign the
claims, Governor Hunt informed
the code revision commissioner,
Fred. G. Struckmeyer, that be
was actuated, first, by the con
stitutional provision that no
member of the legislature shall
profit by any appointment to a
civil office during the term for
which be was elected, and sec
ond, by alleged threats declared
to have been made by Winsor
and other members of the legis
lature that there would be no
code revision unless Winsor was
given the position as assistant
to the code commissioner.
Governor Hunt declared ia his
letter to Judge Struckmeyer that
since January, 1923, when be
assumed Office of governor, I
have had uncompromising oppo
sition from the president of the
senate to the measures, program
and policies | have advocated"
This opposition has been con
sistent, studied, and he and his
associates have succeeded to a
considerable extent, in crippling
the administration and making
it impossible to carry out certain
policies pledged by me and the
Democratic party platform, "
Governor Hunt asserted.
Later, he declared that in
asking for the revision of the
code I want an honest revision.
l want the laws which are on
the statute books for the protec
ton of the interests of the peo.
Pile of Arizona to remain there.
[ want no weasel words inserted
in the language of the law of the
state which will change it's
meaning"
The governor concluded his
letter by declaring that the
only way any money can be paid
out in response to threats of
members of the legislature is by
mandate of the supreme court of
the state of Arizona"
Following the receipt of the
letter from the governor, Judge
Struckmeyer wrote Senator Win
sor, declaring that the protest
had merit and stating that be
felt "a continuance of the EN-
ployment is impossible" because
it would cause friction.
