GALLUP ROAD BOOSTERS
VISITORS AT FLAGSTAFF

Walter Beddow, M. E. Brooks,
Fred Ambrose and Mike Kirk were in
Williams and Flagstaff the first Of
the week on road matters. They met
with the chambers of commerce of
these towns to discuss federal aid on
the road from the state line to Hol-
brook. The report is that this road
has already been put on the per
cent system and it only remains to be
seen that the. work is not unnecessar-
lily delayed or that other work is not
given preference. They stopped at
all the Indian trading stores enroutc
to stimulate interest.
The road from the state line to
Holbrook is now in good shape, but
as it has not been surfaced it does not
stand up under rain. The stretch
from Defiance to the state line, about
fourteen miles, is very bad piece OF
road, and it is hoped that this re-
naming link through the county will
be built during the year. The former
state highway commission had al
ready let contract for the construc-
tion of the bridges ON the new sur

SAY WANT TO MAKE SURE
MAN SENTENCED TODEATH
FOR MURDER OF WIFE AT
WILLIAMS HAD FAIR TRIAL

For the purpose of investigating
the facts surrounding the arrest and
trial of Granville johnson, 29, con-
victed of the murder of his wife at
Williams last year, the American
Legion at Phoenix unanimously adopt
ed resolution calling for the en-
ployment of legal counsel to make an
exhaustive study of all the circum-
stances surrounding the crime. john
son, claiming innocence, asks new
trial. He is under death sentence at
Florence.
A. w. Arnold, commander of the
Greenway post, and Charles G. Nc
Millen, former state senator and active
member of the American Legion, will
go to the state penitentiary to talk
with johnson relative to having his
trial at Flagstaff, for numbering his
wife, investigated as to alleged error
and unfair treatment of the prosecu-
ton.
The general sentiment of the mem
bers attending the meeting was that
Johnson should chang as high as the
Luhr's building if proved absolutely
guilty of killing his wife, but they
believe that every opportunity should
be given him to present his side of
the case, a right which he claims was
denied him at his trial.
Officials of Greenway post declare
the organization is not attempting in
any way to interfere with justice TAX
ing it's course in Johnson's case, they
say, but they believe a person con-
demned to the gallows should have
every chance to present whatever
facts he may contend are to his ad-
vantage. If the man is falsifying he
will only tend to pull the moose more
tightly about his neck, was the belief
they expressed.

of Testimony Filed
on Boulder Canyon


Thirty-seven acres would be COW
cred if the pages of testimony taken
by the house irrigation committee on
the Swing-J Johnson Boulder Canyon

This estimate is made by v. B.
Walters, the committee clerk, who
says that more than $4,000 pages
making II volumes, of testimony
were taken during the four years
sDent in considering the measure.
The bill, recently reported to the
house, proposes construction Of big
flood-control, irrigation and power

RADIO river.
Walters also figures that the COM
mittee held n meetings of which "a

Bus Franchise
Being Studied

While the Arizona Corporation
Commission virtually has taken the
several petitions filed for permits to
run stage lines over the Hassayampa
Trail under advisement, a rather
more definite step has been taken
this time as the result of the hear
ing held before the commission in
Phoenix on January 25.
At the conclusion of that session,
the Arizona Bus company, of the PEI
titioners, was given ten days in which
to file brief of their reasons for
desiring the certificate, while the OPP
position, consisting mainly Of the
Santa Fe railroad and the American
Railway Express company, have been
given an additional five days to an
swer.
The entire day was taken up in
the hearing, Paul Lodge, manager of
the Arizona Bus company. said upon
his return to Prescott. f. III. Stew
ems, appearing for himself, and two
other bus companies, the Sunshine
and the Pioneer, were represented,
each seeking the certificate to oper-
ate over the Hassayampa Trail be-
tween Prescott and Phoenix.
Stevens has included in his last pc
tition a line from Ash Fork to Phoe-
nix, with an additional line to run to
Flagstaff over the Old Trails high
way and to connect with some future
line from Utah and crossing the
Colorado river at Lees Ferry.
The owners of the Pioneer and
Sunshine lines, who sold their per-
mits in the southern part of the state
to the Pickwick company, both are
anxious to reenter the business and
determined upon the Hassayampa
Trail as the most interesting.
The Yavapai County Chamber Of
Commerce has gone on record in
resolution, copy of which is on file
with the corporation commission, as
favoring the granting of a certifi-
cate of necessity to some Yavapai
county concern, providing the first
chance to establish such bus serv-
ice is rendered the Santa Fe railroad
company.

Yeggs Rob Two
Verde Valley Safes

Two safes were blown open at an
early hour Monday morning and the
yeggs, thought to be professionals,
escaped with a small amount of
money for their trouble, according to
information received from local au-
thorities. The safes were in the of
flee Of the Garrison Garage at Cotton
wood and the .Clarkdale Garage at
that place, the robbers evidently be-
ing on their way through the valley
when they stopped off long enough to
collect what the two garage companies
had on hand.
While nothing definite could be

State offices Are
Limited BY Budget

Unless a warrant presented for
registration overdraws the appropria-
ton made for the particular fund in
volved, it is the mandatory duty Of
the state treasurer to register such
warrant, and such registration is not
a violation of the law, it was held by
Attorney General Murphy in an opin-
ion given to State Treasurer Cal
laghan in reply to the treasurer's re-
quest for information upon the SUBJ
ject.
The attorney general pointed out
that the only agency of the state en-
powered to contract debts is the leg
islature, and that the power of state
or it's officers, to incur
expenses and draw warrants to meet
such expenses is limited by the ap-
preparation to that department. This
power is not limited by the amount
of money actually available in the
state treasury for the payment of
such expenses, for the reason that
when an appropriation has been made
and levy for taxes made, the money
received from such levy is either act
ually or potentially in the state treas
ury. Specifically covering the point
in question, the opinion said:
Where the amount of money avail
able in the state treasury is insuffi-
cient to meet the expenses incurred
by the authorization made by the APP
preparation, the statutes of the state
require the registration of the war
rants. Such registering of warrants
is not the creation of debt, nor is
the drawing of the warrants the cre-
alton of debt
