Oppose Plan For
Code Revision

A conflict of opinion as to whether
the legislature should of itself con-
slider in detail the re-codification of
the statutes or whether it should dele
gate this work to a legislative code
commission, contenting itself with a
final approval, was evident in the
senate.
The division of sentiment was de-
veloped in discussion in committee of
the whole of Senator Favour's bill
providing for the appointment Of a
code commission consisting Of three
senators and three representatives to
go over the work with Judge Fred
Struckmeyer, code commissioner, ap-
pointed by the governor two years
ago.
Under the Favour plan the legis-
lature would adjourn at the close of
the regular session early in March,
turning over the work of law revision
to the special commission to be named
under the Favour bill. then meet again
next October to consider the work of
the commission. Under this plan, it
was explained by the author, advance
copies of the proposed revised statutes
would be prepared and distributed to
lawyers and others interested through
out the stae, from time to time, with
the progress Of the WORK.

Edison Now Is
OctOgenariarl


Thomas A. Edison was 80 years old
Friday.
The day, hailed by the rest of the
world as one which brought into the
realm Of the octogenarians man who
has made possible industries whose
capital amounts to $15, 100000.
At the factory and laboratories the
usual routine continued throughout
the day. At the offices the presence
of several newspaper photographers
seeking pictures Of the inventor was
the only outward sign Of an event
Forthcoming.
No public celebration was arranged
by West Orange. A quiet reception
took place at the Edison home in
Llewellyn Park, at which Henry Ford
and Harvey Firestcine, tire manufac-
turer, were present.
Mrs. Edison characterized her dis
tinguished husband s.as a tease"
IF there is any point about which
you are sensitive, she laughed, 'she
dwells on it. He's a great tease; he
will tell you what you don't ike to
hear.
s.He is happy III his home. He
comes in and calls to me. Mr.. Edison
likes to have people about him; he
never wants to be left alone. But he
doesn't want to be bothered. Nor does
he enter into what is going ON around
him. He reads the newspapers relig-
iously and magazines by the score.
Once in a while he will pick up de-
tective story and read it in one sit
ting. Never a noyel. He doesn't like
games, such as cards"

Arizona Homes For
Yellowstone Elk

The twenty elk from Yellowstone
Park which the Williams Protective
Association expected to have releas-
ed in the vicinity of Williams, arriv-
ed in town Friday morning but were
not released here. Due to the cattle
men and the Forest Service not be.
| ing able to reach an agreement un-
der which the elk should be released,
State Game Warden Pettis decided
to move the bunch on to Kingman.
The Game Protective Association
met early Friday morning at the
Forest office with Supervisor Kim
ball and State Game warden Pettis
to consider the matter and finally
reached the conclusion that the best
thing that could be done was to wait
till another year before attempting
to liberate elk here. In the meantime,
it is hoped, an agreement will be
made between the cattle men and the
Forest service relative to the placing
of elk in this vicinity.
There were Al cows and Ia bulls
in the car when it left Yellowstone.
Twenty-seven of this number were
released south of Holbrook. They
were unloaded at Holbrook and were
hauled 120 miles by truck.
H. G. Bush, of Mesa, met the elk
car in Williams, with a truck ready
to haul two of the elk to his park
at Mesa. Mr.. Bush now has 6 vari-
cites of deer and several buffalo in
his park. He plans to add antelope
and mountain sheep as soon as pos
sible
Those who accompanied the car of
elk are D. e. Pettis, state game war

Will Try to Check
State Extravaganza

The Murphy (Gila) comptroller
of the currency bill has been ap-
proved by the house committee of
the whole after almost a full day
Of debate in which denial was made
that the measure was drawn as an
"anti ti-administration" bill and oppon-
ents we're free to say that its pass
age would be only an extra tax bur
den for the state.
Carrying an appropriation of $780,
900 for the establishment of the Of
flee Of state comptroller ac-
cording to the amended bill, would
receive a salary of $500 yearly-the
bill was argued pro and con yester-
day on the floor of the houes COM
mittee. The stand-pat administra-
tion forces could see no merit in
the bill, contending that the comp
troller's duties would be much the
same as those Of the present state
auditor.
Proponents of the measure, on the
other hand, look upon it as an un-
equalled check upon excessive expen-
ditures by the several departments of
state. The bill yet must run the
gauntlet of third reading in the
house and then receive the approval
Of the smaller of the two branches of
the legislature before it can take
its place on the statute books, not
to mention the questionable receipt
ion it would receive in the governors S
office where notice has been given
that the power of veto would be used
freely.

TUCSON TO EXPEND

A concentrated effort on the part
of the city of Tucson to place the Old
Pueblo in the front rank Of Ameri-

council listened to a plea made by
Kirke T. Moore, chairman of the local
aviation committee, for a sum Of ST.

building new hangers, living quarters
and securing water at the field, and
after some discussion passed motion
to the effect that the sum should be
allotted to the committee, working as
much of the amount as possible into
the next city budget.
