OF
DUEL;
HURT
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

WARSAW, Poland, June 15.-War-
saw is aghast tonight over a dra-
matte one-sided duel which might
leading statesmen Count Skrzynski
former premier of Poland, and still
holding a high place in the councils
of his country, early this morning
met General Szeptycki, former minis
ter of war and copmander of the
northern Polish army, on "the field
of honor"
Attended by their seconds, they
went to the home of a mutual friend,
and at IS PAGES, holding pistols,
awaited the signal. AS that was
given, General Szeptycki turned and
fired. His bullet grazed his head.
He let drop his extended arm and
said dramatically:
"I wish to state that I deliberately
do not want to shoot. If there is
any one here who thinks it is nee
essary to defend his honor, or takes
issue with my ideals, let him shoot.
But l shall not shoot.
"I had hoped that because of my
services in behalf of the fatherland
no Pole would fire upon me; there
fore, / do not wish to fire upon an
other Pole"
The duel was the sequence of a
quarrel over Marshal Pilsudskfs re-
cent coup d'etat. The two men had
words, and Count Skrzynski issued q
challenge. Every effort was made to
prevent the meeting, but mutual
challenge was issued "in strict ac-
cordance with the code of honor" "
Thereupon preparations were carried
through to bring the opponents face
to face.

Walter G. Niles, head of the his
tory department, returned to the col
lege Sunday after weeks absence
at Phoenix where he underwent a
series of minor operations. Mr. Niles
went through the operations in good
shape but was seriously i'll for sever

secured about 45 rabbits. The party
assembled at Canyon Padre after the
hunt, cooked supper and spent the
balance of the evening there.
A new ruling was put into effect
last Wednesday, the recreation hour

SUPREME COURT SAYS
HUNT VETO NO GOOD.

"Put not your trust in governor s
vetoes-at least not until courts have
passed on them,0 advises. Attorney
General Murphy in brief filed with
the state supreme court in the case
of the Texas company, appellant, VS..
the State of Arizona.
The case grows out of Governor
Hunts partial veto of the present
three cent gasoline tax. Ostensibly,
the effect of the veto was to leave
the former one-cent tax in effect
from June 9, 1923, when the present
law became effective, until the fol-
lowing July 49, Arizona gasoline
wholesalers proceeded on that as
sumption.
After July 18, when Governor
Hunts veto was questioned, they de-
cided to collect the whole three-cents
veto or no veto, turn over all collec-
tions to the secretary of state as di-
rected by the statute and protect
their customers by giving them re-
ceipts for the excess two cents, which
could be redeemed if the veto were
not sustained. On August %, 1928,
the supreme comrt held the veto un-
constitutional and the attorney gen
eral shortly thereafter filed suit
against the five wholesalers doing
business in this state, to collect the
difference for the period in doubt.
y The wholesalers decided to resist.
A test case was brought in the super
ior court of Maricopa county where
the state obtained judgment for
$9,372 against the Texas Co., which
Immediately appealed.
In its brief filed with the supreme
court the Texas Co. contends that it
bad the right and the duty to rely
upon the apparent validity of the
governors veto until such time as it
was held to be unconstitutional.

CLARK TAKES HUNT TO
TASK FOR PAST NEGLECT

Judge E. S. Clark, republican cam
didate for governor, took Governor
Hunt to task for his neglect to pro-
perly safeguard the interests of Ari-
zona in the Colorado river in his
address Monday, saying in part:
"Then was the time to have saved
Arizona's natural heritage; these i'm
valuable dam and water power sites"
Mr.. Clark told his hearers, "but ell
ther because he did not realize their
vast potentialities, or for other rea-
SONS, he made no effort to have the
terms of the enabling act changed;
nor did he offer a single protest
when, as governor, he saw a Demo-
crat, Franklin K. Lane, withdraw
these valuable natural rights from
entry"
The speaker charged that Cover
nor Hunts entire regime had been
devoted to the building up of poll
tical machine with which to maintain
himself in power, rather than to
sincere effort to advance the states
interests and lower taxes. This great
tax-eating machine, composed of
practically every employe on the
state payroll, had now become so ar
rogant, he said, that Hunt openly
was boasting in this campaign that
he would continue to govern the peo-
pie of Arizona as long as he saw fit,
and would be George the Sixth,
Seventh, Eighth and NINTH" if he
chose
"Too long in Siam" to know much
about the Colorado river problem,
and 'too long in office" to be heed
full Of the states needs, was the way
Clark characterized the present gov
ernor's attitude toward state prob
lens.
Taxes had increased because of the
necessity for "oiling" this machine
the speaker said, and because no real
attempt had ever been made by Hunt
to reduce them.
He charged Hunt admitted wink

ing code in order to nurse along

such tactics.
He declared labor had been given
little consideration by the present
chief executive, and said labor lack
ed any representation on the import
ant Industrial commission. body
created almost solely in behalf of
labor. He promised to Immediately
correct this if elected governor.
Mr.. Clark also spoke of the scant
attention given the farmers. by the
present state administration, and
pointed out the dire financial diff
culties the farmers faced as result
of many of their products selling at
less than cost of production.
"But you don't see Governor Hunt
doing anything to reduce their taxes
when the price of their products IS
reduced" he exclaimed.
Reverting again to the Colorado
river problem, Mr. Clark said ln was
tired of seeing the river saver" for
California and the land barons of
Mexico, who, under the very law the
present governor was relying on to
stsave" the Colorado, the law of prior
appropriation and beneficial use
were feverishly applying water to
tens of thousands of acres annually,
thus establishing prior appropria-
ton and beneficial use right thereto,
while those who should be guarding
Arizona's rights sit supinely by do
ing nothing to forward development
Of the river for Arizona"
Summing up, the speaker said
Colorado development could have been
greatly advanced if an agreement,
fully safeguarding all of Arizona's
rights had been negotiated with
California and Nevada, but if Gov
ernor Hunt, after ten years in Of
flee, don't kno~ what those rights
are, as he admits, he will never
know, if he stays in office a hundred
years"
He said if elected he could, and
would, reduce taxes by exercising the
veto power on every appropriation
bill not absolutely essential to state
business; by making appointments for
merit, experience and efficiency only,
instead of political expediency, and
by practicing rigid economy. He pro-
missed to discharge Immediately the
state bank superintendent and "hire
one who could and would enforce the
law" to give. labor representation in
proportion to its numbers and farm
ers better recognition on the agri-
cultural boards and commissions, and
"all things being equaP' to give ex-
service men preference in state en-
ployment as recognition of their
services to state and nation.
The machine" could be crushed, he
said, and he predicted the people
would do this, Nov. 2, by ousting the
present regime, retiring king
George the Fifth and electing Ell
the First"

ed by congressman John Morrow of
New Mexico in non-political speech

however, this can hardly be accom-
plished, he said.
He praised the Navajos as the most
Industrious of all Indians. They have
