NO QUARANTINE
FUND PROVIDED
FOR ARIZ0NANS
Special Session OF Lcgis-

Solve Problem.
BY WILLIAM TURNBOW
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

PHOENIX. July 81. U.P)-A spe-
cial session of legislature appeared
today as the only means of restoring
Arizonas system of quarantine sta
tions which will close tomorrow on
| order of the state agriculture and
horticulture commission.
Climaxing four-day session with
Governor George w. p. Hunt, the
commission last night announced
all stations would be closed because
of insufficient funds to operate
them.
THE stations will remain closed"
Clinton Campbell of Phoenix, chair
man Of the commission, said, "un-
less an emergency is declared or a
special session of the legislature is
called to obtain the necessary
funds"
An emergency proclamation by
the governor, reports at the capitol
sometime ago said, would be con-
tested as illegal, thus leaving only
one avenue to finance the stations
special session.
Campbells announcement the
stations would be closed was brief,
and he could give no indication
when the stations would be opened
again.
There is no money left in the
fund.- he said. The few thousand
dollars we had to carry on the in
spection work was used in keeping
the stations open since July l."
Campbell announced June 25 af-
ter he became chairman of the COM
mission, all stations would be oper-
ated temporarily. AT that time it
was contended the state was free
from injurious pests.
Previously Governor Hunt had
declared sufficient funds for oper-
ating five key stations had been
obtained.
The 10th legislature appropriated
money for operating the station. but
Governor Hunt in vetoing sections
of the general appropriations bill
reduced the agriculture depart
ment's appropriation 100000, vir-
tually abolishing the stations.
Campbell told the United Press
the commission expected few pro-
tests from agriculturists and hor IT,
culturists over the state 1t was
learned mass meeting had been
called at Yuma for tonight to fight
the action
Closing the stations leaves the
state without protection against in
fectious fruits and vegetables COM
ing into Arizona from other states.
Fears have been expressed that
embargoes would be placed against
state crops by the federal govern
ment and California. Imperial
county. California, it was said, has
threatened such action.
At the office of B. A. Harrigan,
agricultural commissioner for I'M

is not drifting aimlessly but is de-
TRIMMED to steer planned course
by means of the Paris and London
conferences. He also revealed Ger

the reported political demands of
the French
Germany's plan. he explained, is
to use credits from abroad from in
ternal debts and eventually for the
benefit of industry, so that Ger

scheme. Even If Lorry Kershaw should
prove obdurate and hold him of Tor
a price he was unwilling to pay, he
would still have two weapons TO
threaten her with in the event she at
tempted to sell to Nate Tichenor. He
realized he must keep such deal In
allegiance until he could organize the
Forlorn Valley Irrigation District, for,
with the district formed before Nate
Tichenor could complete his deal with
the power company the district could
enter a condemnation suit against
Tichenor, and thus block the aSpira-
tons Of the power company.
He distrusted the local legal talent
in O crisis loaded with potential legal
dynamite; so that night he went down
to San Francisco to engage the serv-
ices of legal firm noted throughout
the State for its knowledge OF water
law. Indeed, Babson was rather IN
hurry to get out of town, for he con-
sidered it good strategy to be absent
when old Rance Kershaw should come
into the bank to argue and pleao.
Leave a frightened, worried man alone
for four days and he's much easier
to handle on the fifth. SO Babson de-
parted. unconscious of the fact tnat
his bluff, complicated with the sudden
return of Nathan Tichenor to Eoen
Valley, was to kill Rance Kershaw ana
turn the current of the Kershaw ma
tired upon Silas Babson and all MS
works and pomps.
