AUTO FALLS 100 FEET

Louis Ellsworth, aged go, superin-
tendent Of the DR.. A. j. Chandler
ranch near Mesa, was almost instantly
killed Thursday afternoon when an
automobile in which he was riding

The body was brought to Globe to-
day by other persons in the party.
Louis B. Ellsworth, son, was slight
ly injured in the accident, but Adam
Glenn, also of Mesa, escaped any in
juries whatever. The death of Mr..
Ellsworth is believed to have been
caused by fracture of the neck.

children in addition to the widow.

sentence imposed upon Dixon Sujy-

Cavell, to life Imprisonment, it is

organizations which are interested in
Indian affairs are busying themselves
in behalf Of Sujynamie, who is a
Halupai Indian.
Sujynanie was sentenced to hang
October 10 by Judge F. c. Jacobs of
the federal court. He was convicted
during the current term of federal
court in Prescott for the murder of
Cavell while on government reserva-
tion and given the maximum punish
ment. Local federal officers declare
that the people of Yavapai county
will protest against commutation Of
the deathe sentence.

YAVAPA ASSESSOR RAPS
The new MOTOR LAW

II
It is out of the power of officials
and citizens of Arizona now to repair
the motor vehicle law that goes intC
effect on October |, but there is moth
ing to prevent the criticism of it from
being uttered, especially by Officers
heaped with extra work, deprived of
any say in the conduct of an enormous
business, while James III. Kerby, re-
puted "author" of the bill and self
styled most able and efficient officer
in the state of Arizona" draws $1,000
a year additional pay.
c. E. Gentry, assessor of Yayapai
county has opened up searching at
tack on Mr.. Kerby and his valuable
motor vehicle law
1t is in the interests of economy in
county government and convenience
for the automobile owning citizen that
Mr. Gentry expresses his Indignation
at substitute senate bill 131, now list
ed as chapter Is of the session laws
which becomes operative on October
/. Mr.. kerby's additional salary, re-
paying, possibly those marvellous
qualities of (which his official reports
boast as state expenses, will also be-
come payable on that date.
The hardest thing to bear in this
new arrangement of the secretary of
states is the repetition by the auto
mobile owner of all the bother and ex
pense of paper work" he already
went through when ne applied for and
received his 1925 automobile license.
Now he must pungle up an additional
90 cents for himself and for each
member of his family who wishes to
drive his car for an operators ticket
that conveys nothing to the operator
but contributes something like $4,000
a year more out of the pockets of the
long suffering motoring public-to
Mr. Kerby's office.
A little history is recited by Brow.
ME Gentry in connection with his law.
Back few years the county assessors
met and decided that if they could be
authorized to do the licensing, it
would provide them with a fine lever
to pry property tax out of negligent
car owners, many of whom had been
escaping the burden by simply not de-
claring themselves. A law subse-
quently was passed taking the is
Stance of licenses out Of the office Of
the secretary of state and putting it
in the hands of the county assessors
with full power to refuse such license
until the motor owner had paid his
tax. In the course of a few years this
law has added hundreds of thousands
to the tax rolls in q perfectly proper
manner and has also enabled the mo-
tor car purchaser to get quicker and
more convenient action on his arpfi-
cation for a license and tags. 1t has
little additional expense on
the assessors who have had to employ
extra deputies during the license rush
season, but it has paid ba,sk many
times over the cost in added tax col
lections.
Before the last session Of the legis-
lature, the assessors went to Phoenix
with a request for a law that would
give them a tiny cut cut Of the license
fee-25 cents per pair of tags-to pay
for the additional clerical help needed
during the year. This small amend
ment to the then existing and meri-

FOURTH FIRE DURING WEEK
BREAKS OUT AT KINGMAN

Fire which is believed to have been
of incendiary origin broke out in pile
Of cordwood back of Garrison's garage
Wednesday afternoon, but was quickly
extinguished by the local fire depart
ment.
The fire was the fourth discovered
on the premises in the past week. One
of the fires started Saturday in a va
cant lot back of the Garrison place
and was eNtinguished. Pieces of bark
and burnt match were found under a
table. A few minutes later, pile of
burning bark was found under Mr..
Garrison's truck and at another time
a belt was found blazing.

torious motor license law, would en-
tail not cent Of extra expense on the
owner of the car, whose burdens for
this and that and the other fee and
tax are already plenty heavy.
But there was not to be such sim
pie change. Under the camouflage of
desire to insure motor vehicle titles
and to license operators, Gentry says,
Mr.. kerby managed to get through q
bill. And such bill!
"Tlis is highly involved and cam
ouflaged way of raising his salary, =
said the Yavapai county assessor.
"And while there will be some addi-
tional work on his clerks, issuing all
these licenses and titles, the real ex-
ira burden Of work will fall on the as
SCISSORS, who are already tied down to
budget figures. ?
1t is reported that the Maricopa
county assessor with II clerks in his
office (as. compared with four inmthe
local office) is already several thou
sand dollars over his budget allowance
and doesn't know where to turn. And
this occurs even before the great in
rush of repeated applications that will
follow the effectuating of the laws on
October I.
Perhaps Mr.. Kerby has solution
for that, it is reported.
The paternalistic nature of the mo-
tor vehicle law thus originated and
put through by democratic officehold-
ers, Is nowhere better demonstrated
according to Mr.. Gentry, than in the
provision that compels everyone to
accept its benefits sat stipulated
fees, whether they want them or not.
SCISSOR, "of decentralized labor and
centralized fees. Not even for the
privilege of dripping all these addi-
tional dollars through their fingers,
would the assessors care to multiply
the red tape and annoyance of petty
that this law imposes on
the poor motoriSt.'
The bill contains many good points.
But it gets most of these from pre-
vious measures. For instance there is
a provision of penalty for person
driving while drunk or drugged. That
is fine. 1t is needed.
But the provision for certificates
for drivers provides not a single as
surance that the aforesaid driver has
ever been compelled to qualify. Be-
side the opportunity to drag an extra
50-cent fee out of the applicant, this
helps only in that it makes
for the cancelling Of permits for vio-
alton of the act.
We look in vain for anything about
drivers to prove that they
are physically, mentally, morally and
by practice, fitted to drive cars,' said
Brownie.
There is a proviso that none under
is shall be licensed to drive There
is already such law. Yet, according
to the assessor, and also according to
the commonest Of experience on the
streets Of Prescott, smart aleck kids
hardly tall enough to see over the
wheels of their cars, go whirling about
the public streets practically unhin-
dered There is not recollected a sim
gle arrest or even warning against
children driving since the law was
passed.
There ought to be most string
ent operators license law enforced,
Mr.. Gentry added, and it should be
based on rigid examination Of the
applicants fitness. But to make
