ASSESSOR COLLECTOR FILES
PROTEST ON SALARY SLASH

by Beal and seconded by Blair:
that the foregoing motion be
amended to include Director Aten
on this committee"
This committee, in making its in
vestigation, did not once come into
the assessor collectors office for
any information whatever, as to du-
ties of various employees, or to in
quire into the nature of the work
Of the office in general. Instead,
this committee made lone distance
investigation by checking the SAL
aries and duties of the county as
SCISSORS office and making COM
parison of that office with the pay
roll of the assessor or-collector's Of
flee of Imperial Irrigation district.
1t also compared the present pay
roll of Imperial Irrigation district
with the districts payroll of 1923.
Why the payroll of 1923, instead of
some other year? You must stop to
consider that in the eight year in
terval, the work of this office has
increased by leaps and bounds, and

RESUME MOVE
TO HAVE FALL
OBTAIN PARDON

SANTA F'E, July 10. UP)-A move
started in New Mexico recently to
get pardon for A. B. Fall, who will
soon start a sentence of a year and
day in the New Mexico State
penitentiary here, was revived to-
day.
Senator Bronson Cutting, Rep
resentative of New Mexico, has
wired President Hoover to give his
consideration to a petition being
sent to Washington.
The petition was circulated a few
months ago during the session OF
the state legislature. 1t was signed
by all members of the legislature,
by Senator Cutting, Senator Sam
Bratton, Democrat, and by Cover
nor Arthur Seligman, Democrat, as
well as other political leaders of
both parties.
Ell PASO, Tex. July Is. U.P)-
Secrecy today surrounded the plans
of Albert B. Fall, former secretary
of the interior, to go to the New
MEXICO state penltentiary to serve
his sentence of a year and a day
for accepting a bribe while he was
in the Harding cabinet.
Newspaper reporters followed
trails which indicated the former
secretary may have started on the
trip to the prison at Santa Fe, but
members of Falls family declared
he was asleep.
An automobile careened out of
the Fall driveway today with cur
tains drawn.
Reporters were told that the car
contained Mrs. Fall and a friend
and that Fall was at home asleep.
DR.. j. H. Gambrell, Falls physi-
clan, told reporters that Fall was
somewhat weaker and he was sure
the trip would not be started today
on account of his condition.
Il won't tell OF any of our plans"
Mrs. Fall declared earlier. 1T is Of
no interest to the public how or
when Mr.. Fall goes to prison"

In view of the fact that your

deemed best to make a uniform re-
ductlon all the way through, this
office, while it might have meant
little hardship on the different in
dividuals, each one would have ac-
cepted it in the spirit that has al
ways been shown by the entire Of
flee force of this department of the
organization, and that is to put in
to the work their very best efforts
and to do their share to keep u3
the high standard the assessor
collectors office has always main

dants convicted of murder in that
case from getting a new trial on
evidence developed after their con-
viction--merely because the evil
dence was not related to that
brought out during the original
trial.
I'm too many cities little or no
provision is made for men of the
caliber demanded for the work to
be done" the commission said. TOO
often the judges are chosen at elec-
tions for short terms, are compelled
to campaign for nominations and
election, and thus are subjected to
politics.
THE short tenure, the mode of
choice, the want of dignity in the
position, and the manner of COM
pensation very generally by fees,
lend themselves to a low personnel
which for the most part make these
tribunals petty in fact as well as
inferior in name.
Nowhere is a proper organization
more called for.
With modern conditions OF
transportation there is no need of
magistrate at every mans back
door"
Arrests are made indiscriminate-
ly, the commission protested.
"Indiscriminate exercise of the
power of arrest is one of the most
reprehensible features of American
criminal justice" the report as
serted.
Politics was seen as the underly-
ing cause of most of the trouble
with all of the courts.
The jury system was admitted to
be in state of "decadence" because
picturesque murderers go unpunished
and just ordinary murders result
in convictions. Less use and more
rational use of the jury system was
recommended.
Ten members signed the report.
Monte M. Lemann refused to do SO
because he did not concur with
many of the conclusions and be-
cause he thought the commission
had touched most of the problems
in previous reports.
