BY RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, Feb. 5-Gov. Ross s.
Sterling has laid out a sharp blue
pencil to behead every appropria-
ton that pops above the top Of
assured state revenues.
He told presidents and regents
OF state colleges, the budget board
and finance and appropriations
committeeman OF the house and
senate that neither colleges, sum
mer schools or any other activity
OF the state will be allowed appro-
priations above the income in sight
for the state.
He told them the capitol build
ing Is IN dangerous condition, due
to fire hazards. and that no other
building will be erected out OF
state funds until the condition is
remedied.
Gov. Sterling revealed that there
had come to his knowledge a re-
trenchment move TO cut state SAL
aries 10 per cent.
II don't say whether I consider
this good or bad: but ! do say that
We are going 70 stay within our
revenues" Gov. Sterling said.

efforts to expand summer school

GAS BILLS
now EXPLAINED
Rockwell Points To the
Holidays, Wet And
Damp Weather

The following explanation was
Issued by g. o. Rockwell, general
manager Of the Rio Grande Valley
Gas company. showing the cause
for the increase Of gas bills In the
Valley this month yer those OF
last month:
Because OF the fact that the
Rio Grande Valley Gas company
had 10 post upon gas cards for
December the interest on each
consumers deposit for the past
year, It was necessary to read the
meters q few days earlier in Dec
ember than usual in order to give
the bookkeeping department suf-
ficient time to make the entries.
This, OF course, cut the period a
little short OF the regular month
for the December gas bill.
Tn January when the meter
readers started their regular read
ing Of the meters. the rains were
50 severe and the conditions so
bad that the meter readers could
not make their regular progress
and were several days late In read
ing. This, together with the reading
earlier in December, made the gas
bills Issued for January cover .
period of about five weeks or much
longer than the December bill.
The January bill also covered
the period during the holiday sea-
son, at which time 81 consumers
did more cooking than usual and
kept later hours than usual. This
required more fuel and more lights.
Also We had % days Of cold.
damp weather. each day being cold
enough to require q gas fire to
keep out the dampness. On or
binary cold days in this section.
the fire can be lighted In the morn
ing and turned off by ten or eleven
o'clock when the sun becomes
warm enough 20 heat, but during
damp weather q gas fire is kept
going all day long"

"All but three or four persons

Club at the Cavern Cafe
yesterday noon, Mrs. Gustetter and

charge of the luncheon.
It was complete and pleasant
surprise to the ROtarianS who
didn't have an inkling that their
wives would be there to partake of
the luncheon. No one was more
surprised than DR.. Gustetter, the
clubs song leader and to say that
he turned all sorts of colorS when
in walked his better half is putting
it mildly.
Mrs. Charles Smith had arranged
the program for the day and it was
one of the most delightful affairs
enjoyed by the club in many years.
Much credit is due Mrs. Gustetter
for her orig nality in preparing a
little poem for each Rotaryann to
recite as she introduced herself, and
also for the recitation she gave re-
Iative to a Rotary baseball team.
Among features of the day were
vocal selections by Miss Marjorie
Rickenberg, recitation by Miss
Elizabeth Shelton, and two dance
numbers by Miss Eleanor des Saul

MURDER TT RIAL
COST S PRESENT
NE w PROBLEMS
Mrs. MarshalI's Hearing
Expenses VILE Run
Over $4,000

The financial problem for Pima
county in prosecuting the murder
charge against Mrs. Louise F. Mar
shall, when she goes to trial in No
gales, Sept. IA, took a new angle
when officials found that Judge w.
A. O'Connor, who will preside at the
trial. must sign demands on the
Santa Cruz county treasury for ex-
penses involved in the hearing.
After the 6emands have been
signed and paid by this county,
a general demand for the entire
cost will be forwarded to the Pima
county board of supervisors. If
Pima county does mot have the
money available, the entire finan-
cial transaction may resolve itself
into loan payable when Pima
county makes its next budget.
Another legal question doubtless
VIII be raised in regard to the hear
ing. Pima county may question the
advisability of making any payments
at all. When the Pima budget was
first prepared, $500 was set aside
for expenses in the case. Since
change of venue has been granted,
together with costs for such action,
expenses in the trial are not eX-
pected to be under $1,000
Whether the contingency fund in
Pima county has enough for paying
expenses of the trial is question
that will come before the next
meeting of the Pima county board
of supervisors.

10TH CAVALRY
WILL LEAVE
Fl. HAUCHUCA
Historic Regiment To
Be Scattered To
Three Places

Orders were receivtd at Fort
Huachuca, Wednesday, trans
ferring to various points the
historic Tenth Cavalry, famous
cOlored regiment.
The cavalry will be broken up as
follows:
Second squadron to West Point
to replace the cavalry detachment
there at present.
Headquarters troop and first
squadron to Fort Riley to replace
Negro detachments there.
Machine gun troops to Fort
Myer, Va, to replace the service
detachment there.
Tt is understood that troops will
be sent to Fort Huachuca to re-
place the Buffalo regiment, but
whether those troops VII be the
Z5th infantry at Nogales and
Douglas or some other regiment is
not known. The probability of con-
sol;dating the 25th infantry and
abandoning Camp Little at Nogales
and Camp Jones at Douglas is con-
sidered a large one.
The ordnance, quartermasters ano
medical departments of the tenth
cavalry are to remain at Huachuca
but all officers attached to the
tenth are relieved from duty i'm
-mediatly upon completion OF the
troop transfer which is expected tC
be by September Is, and not later
than September 80.
A battalion of the 25th infantry
stationed at Huachuca, has received
no orders yet.
The orders are looked upon here
not as a move toward abandonment
of Fort Huachuca as an army post,
but as presag;ng an assignment OF
fresh troops there after the tenth
cavalry has been removed.
