G.. O. P.'s Resent
Hunts Statement

Reputation of a paragraph in
Governor Hunts message to the
second special session is made in
statement signed Thursday by eleven
members of the legislature. The
statement opens:
"The chief executive Of the state
has seen fit in his message to the
second special session of the eighth
legislature, to refer to the republi-
can members thereof in manner
which cannot be disregarded by any
man who is conscientious in his duty
to his state,
The two main issues which came
before the house on March 1S, prior
to the legislatures recessing for
thirty days are brought forth in the
course Of the statement.
The first pertains to the appro-
priation bill, of which the statement
says: eve are convinced this bill in
operation will check waste and ex-
travagance and greatly reduce the
taxpayers burdens and believe the
governors action in vetoirg it was
against the best interests of the
people of Arizona"
Regarding the highway bill, the
republican solons' declaration reads:
1.-THE republicans, with majority
of the democrats, have endeavored to
divorce the highway department from
politics, place it on business-like
basis and reduce so far as possible the
burden Of the taxpayers"
The statement is signed by the
entire republican membership of both
houses, constituting nine representa-
ives and two senators.

Smoke Kills A
WinsLOU Child

Smothered to death by smoke fumes
from fire which consumed the
residence of III. Salazar at Winslow,
occupied by Santiago Hernandez,
Pedro Melon, two year old child OF Mr..
and Mrs. John Melon, was found dead
by his parents following the fire, and
all attempts to resuscitate the child
proved fruitless.
The blaze which burned to the
ground the Hernandez residence,
broke out shortly before 8 o'clock
Sunday night. It was located at the
extreme west end Of town, and the
Melon house in which the child was
suffocated was located at considerable
distance from the burning dwelling.
Evidently dense smoke from the
fire had gone in through the window
into the room in which the child was
asleep, and when found by his par
ents. the little tot had crawled under
the bed in an effort to escape. Life
was extinct and he was rushed to the
office of DR.. Hathaway, where all
attempts to resuscitate him proved
fruitless, DR.. Hathaway announcing
he had been dead at least two hours.

Why Kerby Should
Be Investigated

Filing of the report of the special
legislative committee appointed to
investigate the operation of the motor
vehicle certificate of title law through
the office of Secretary Of State James
Fl. Kerby reveals the allegation that
Kerby has drawn some $3,105.35 all
legedly illegally as salary, and the
recommendation is made that the
state bring suit against Kerby to re-
cover this sum.
The most startling revelation, how
ever. is that the secretary OF. state
collected q total Of $124, ,937.42 in fees
from the issuance of these certificates
of title to motor car owners, of which
the state received but $4,000, the diff
ference going for salary expenses. !"
Small wonder that the legislature en-
acted a law to repeal this motor
vehicle certificate Of title law, when
it costs the taxpayers nearly hum
dred thousand dollars to enrich the
state treasury paltry five thousand
dollars. And smaller wonder that the
governor vetoed this bill, since it is
well known that the secretary of
states office, like the state highway
department, is merely an adjunct to
the governors political machine.
An interesting sidelight on the
operation of the secretary of state in
connection with the administering of
this law is the statement contained in
the committee report that some $9,443
were collected illegally from motor
car owners for drivers permits, which
sum had to be refunded, and the re-
fund cost the state $11 ,968.71.
Al fine state of efficiency, indeed,
when it costs sos, 9,937.42 to collect
S124, ,93742, and the state must pay
81 ,968.71 to mail out refunds of $9,-
443.
We wonder how long the public
will stand for the Kerby Hunt COM
bination to mulct the motor car own
ers in this outrageous manner -

Kerby Salaries
Exceeded, Urge
Suit to Recover

Suit to recover $3,105.35 alleged
double salary paid to Secretary Of
State James Kerby under the act of

Cochise, and Thomas Peters, Pima,

properly one for the supreme court
and not the attorney general to
decide is attached to the report.
Copies of the report were placed on
the desks in the house but it was not
introduced because the report could
not be construed as coming under
any subject in the special session
call.

statement that the college here will
graduate class in physical educa-
ton at the end of the summer ses-
sion. This class, Mr.. Jessuppe, ply

Old State Pen May

A new hotel company is knocking
at the gates of Yuma. Will r. Con-
way, manager of large hotel at El
Centre and his associates desire to
acquire Prison hill from the city of
Yuma for the purpose of erecting on
the hill modern winter resort hotel
of the highest type.
These have asked the city council
to have the property appraised and
sold and have agreed that they will
buy it if fair price with guarantee
that they will erect hotel building on
the site to cost at least a quarter of
million dollars.
Mr.. Conway and his associate,
Claud J. Murphy, have been in Yuma
off and on for the past two weeks in
vestigating hotel sites and the pos
sibilitv of getting desirable place
in Yuma for the erection of the kind
of hotel that they wish to erect
here. When shown the prison hill
site by O. T. McCoon, the realtor, they
were so taken with the possibilities
of the site that they at once came to
the conclusion that it was the place
they wanted
In furtherance of the scheme the
city. council met and passed an ordi-
ance to its first reading authorizing
the appraisal and sale of the property
as provided by the city charter This
ordinance will be given its second

Elk Herd Is Turned
Loose on Blue Range

A herd of % elk has just been
released in the Blue Range game
refuge in the Apache national forest
of Arizona through the efforts of the
Arizona state game department, the
forest service, the biological survey
of the department of agriculture, and
local interests.
The full text of statement by the
department of agriculture concerning
the establishment of the herd in the
locality follows:
The Blue river country of Arizona,
where 40 years ago thousands of elk
ranged the hills, will once more be the
home of herd of these handsome
American big game animals.
The Arizona state game department
and the forest service and biological
survey Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and local inter-
ests, have just placed herd of % elk
on the Blue Range game refuge in the
Apache national forest.
At one time the Blue river country
harbored thousands of elk, deer and
wild turkeys, and early settlers tell
of bringing back six-mnle-team wag-
ons loaded with elk killed for holiday
| feasts. With the entry of the cattle
men and settlers in the country
around the headwaters of the Blue
and Little Colorado rivers in the early
eighties, however, the big game began
| to disappear. Since the regulation
Of the ranges was put into effect by
| the forest service, the deer and turkey
! have come back to some extent, but
4 the last elk was killed in this region
near Mount Ord in 1885,
Although the Indians and settlers
did some hunting in the Blue Range,
| it is believed the depletion of the
ranges by the dense stocking with the
cattle was the principal cause of the
determination of the elk.
Before the new herd was turned
loose on the Blue Range the very few
local settlers were apprised of the
possibility that the elk might do some
damage to farm crops in the vicinity
should they multiply rapidly, but
there was practically no opposition to
placing them there.
The farmers were enthusiastically
in favor of it, and when the elk ac-
tually arrived there was great deal
of interest evinced by the local pop
ulatlOn. SpOrtsmen IN the vicinity
contributed toward the cost of estab-
fishing the herd. It is expected the
elk will again become sufficiently
numerous there to furnish certain
amount of hunting each fall to remove
the surplus.
The elk liberated in the Blue Range
were brought from the Yellowstone
national park. When they were lib-
Grated, each one had to be dragged
out of the truck with ropes, but once
in the open again, they left at run
for the high points on either side Of
the canyon, appearing little the worse
| for the trip. There were turned loose
II grown cows, two yearling heiferss
one 2-year-old and three yearling
bulls.
The Blue Range refuge comprises
one of the largest remaining wilder
nesses in the southwest, where, it is
thought, crop damage by the elk will
remain at minimum. 1t is rough
country, almost uninhabited, and the
newly established herd is expected to
thrive.
