Gov. Hunt Suggests AK for Lees
Ferry as Revenge for Cash Cut

The shadow of the executive veto
again fell across both the senate and
house Of the eighth legislature Tues
day when Governor Hunt made it
known that he was displeased with
the general appropriation bill intro
duced in the house Monday, and with
the Runke, Coconino, Lees Ferry
bridge bill, passed and sent to his desk
for signature.
Intimation that a special session
might be called if agreement was not
reached on the provisions of the ap-
preparation bill-which reduced by
some $2,000,000 the total amount car
ried by the governors biennial budget
was made at the governors office, and
the chief executive himself sent to the
senate a letter to the effect that he
ssmay of necessity be forced to veto"
the bridge bill.
It would be, he said, an "unbusiness-
like and uneconomic thing" to sign
the bridge bill in view of the assertion
Of w. C. LeFebvre, state engineer,
that it would cost S368,000 to build
a fireproof bridge across the Colorado
river at or near Lees Ferry. The
Runke bill appropriates $130,0O0 to
defray approximately half the cost Of
the bridge at that point, the federal
government having already appropri-
ated the other half.

Pinchot Still Feels That Arizona
Should Be Picked and Preserved

Washington.-De the har-
Messing of the Colorado river is one
of the greatest constructive conserva-
ton enterprises ever undertaken, Gif-
ford Pinchot, former governor OF
Pennsylvania, declared in a statement
here Wednesday of last week that the
soundness of the Boulder Canyon
project is proved "by the overwhelm-
ing weight of testimony of engineers :
"It is backed on its reclamation
side by Secretary Work" Mr.. Pinchot
said, "on its engineering side by Sec
retary Hoover, on its financial side
BY Secretary Mellon and as whole
BY the president himself.
tsapposition to Boulder canyon
cones chiefly from two sources: first,
from Arizona, on the theory that the
behefits derived from the national de-
velopment aof great national re-
source, such as the Colorado, so far
as it lies in Arizona, ought to be con-
fined to Arizona alone. The same
theory would destroy the national
forests.
Second, from the great electric
power interests on the theory that
what is best for the nation must be
thrust aside unles sit gives them what
they want and all they want, when
they want it.. y
Mr.. Pinchot said he was "strong for
the passagenof the Swing-J Johnson bill
as the first great step toward one of
the most prodigious and beneficial
conquests Of man over nature in the
history of the world"

Escaped Prisoner
Longs for Home

The longing for his Arizona home,
even though it was a home IN the
state prison at Florence, became too
strong for Raymond Helms, an es-
caped prisoner from the Arizona in
stitution and Monday he surrendered
himself to st. Louis officials accord
ing to a telegram received yesterday
by Scott White, superintendent Of
the state prison. cs
Helms made his escape from the
prison February while employed IN
the wheel house in the administra-
ton building outside of the prison
walls. He headed east and after
reaching st. Louis walked into the
police station there and gave him.
self up, declaring he had escaped
from the Arizona prison.
st. Louis officials got in touch
with Warden White Of the Arizona
prison, and an officer will be sent to
St. Louis at once to bring Helms
back to serve the rest of the sentence
Imposed upon him by the Apache

Wants Seven States
To Construct Dam

Hard on the heels Of the action by
the national senate refusing to invoke
cloture rule to limit debate on the
Swing johnson Boulder canyon dam
bill, the Arizona legislature Monday
had before it bill proposing the con-
struction of a 100000 horsepower
community dam at Glen canyon on
the Colorado river, to the building
of which the seven Colorado river
basin states would be parties.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Andrew Bettwy of Santa Cruz coun-
ty, pronoses the creation of seven
member commission, composed of the
governors Of seven states California,
Nevada, New Mexico, Colrado, Ari-
zona, Utah and Wyoming their
proxies, and appropriate $4,000, ,0OO
for the construction of the community
dam, the money to be secured by the
launching of bond issue, secured by
first mortgages.
The dams purpose is set forth as
being first for flood protection, Sec
ond for irrigation and finally for
power. Hydro-electric power general
ed would be apDortioned among the
seven states, according to their drain
age area. No work would be done un-
til at least six of the signatory states
had approved the plan and consented
to the provisions of the act. The bonds
would be amortized within 80 years
Former soldiers in the service of the
United States would be given first
preference in the settling Of unclain-
ed lands.

Special Session
May Be Called

Threats of special session were
voiced in the governors office at
Phoenix Tuesday morning in strong
disapproval of the general appropria-
tion bill introduced by the appropria-
tions committee of the house late
Monday. Governor Hunt indicated
that he would veto the measure un-
less certain amendments were made.
The bill cuts off the governors
contingent expense fund, his salaries
allowance of SEE, 700. is slashed $5,-
900; operation expense 81 sos; travel
fund, $1,000; capital investment, ST.
600; repairs and requirements, $3.50.
No provision is made for the salary
of budget secretary, whose services
are required under the law, making it
mandatory for the governor to pre-
pare in orderly form the requirements
Of the several departments of state as
basis for legislative appropriations.
Three departments are not included
in the bill, no appropriations being
named for the military department,
the state board Of agriculture and
horticulture or for the child welfare
work. With reference to the military
and the agricultural board Chairman
Murphy indicated that appropriations
would be added to the bill as soon as
internal difficulties in these depart
ments were ironed out.
Another important feature Of the
bill is the elimination of a 81 500 item
to pay the salary Of special counsel
of the attorney generals office dele
gated to handle matters for the tax
commission, corporation commission
and inheritance tax department. This
post is now held by Assistant Attor-
ney General A. r. Lynch, father of
c. Z. Lynch, representative from
Greenlee county.
The bill carries appropriations to-
taling S4,226, ,287.52, as compared to
81, ,772 asked for in the budget.
This amount does not include the
money raised by direct taxation for
the support of the schools and the uni
yersity, nor does it make any provi-
sion for the state highway depart
ment.
Tax experts at the capital figured
that the bill, together with other sums
for which alevy will be made will run
the state tax rate to approximately 81
cents and If to this a special bill ap-
propriating $665,000 to pay off high
way creditors is passed, ten cents
more will have to be added.

NOUeL Place To
Hide MOOnslline

A novel method of serving drinks
to thirsty patrons was found by pro-
hibition agents when they raided the
house of James Jimmie" Barton in
Tucson. Three five-gallon cans, con-
cealed in the adobe walls of one of
the rooms, contained tequila, mescal
and corn whisky.
When a patron called for drink
and expressed a preference, his wish
was granted by turning faucet and
drawing off liquor from one Of the
cans. The entire apparatus was care
fully concealed, the dry agents said,
and it was only by chance that the
cans in the wall were discovered.
At several of the other places that
were raided, agents said drinks were
served in glasses from trays in the
style approved in the best of homes.
