as follows:

and not one complaint was made

PERSONALLY, feel that a position
on the Corporation Commission is
one for man who has had con-
siderable experience in the busine s
world. The more he knows of the
various businesses that stand rep
resented before him, the more cap
able he should be to understand
and meet their problems; he should
be able to put himGelf in the posi-
ton Of the people he is called up
on to serve; he should be level
headed, and should know law suf-
ficiently to administer justice and
help solve the matters that con-
front him in the discharge Of his
duties. And speaking of laws, feel
there are enough on the statute
books now to entirely protect the
State and it's citizens. All we need
are Commissioners who have the
backbone to enforce them.
"a man who occupies position
on the Commission should have the
nerve to say no if he feels in his
heart that propo ition a corpora
ton or individual is trying to put
over is not sound. Never in my
life have I ever made a promise of

JURY DECIDES
AGAINST HUNT
IN CIVIL ACTION

PHOENIX, Ariz., May IT, The
jury in the Proctor-Hunt suit to-
day decided that former Governor
Hunt had illegally expended state
funds to the total of $329.89. To
this amount is to be added 20Fo
penalty and interest from the dates
of the various expenditures.
This amount would have been in
creased $10880 in mileage fees,
which the former Governor testi-
fled he collected from the Univer-
sity of Arizona despite the fact
that he travelled to meetings of the
Board of Regents in state-owned
car, had not Judge Pickett held
that under the law taxpayer could
sue only for items for which the
attorney general had refused to
bring action. The mileage fees in
question were not included in the
original demand made by Proctor
for the taxpayers association on the
attorney general.
In ruling the claimed mileage
fees cut Judge Pickett said the
item were probably illegal expen-
ditrres, as the statute never con-
templated that any state official
should collect mileage for transpor-
tation in an automobile belonging
to the state.
The total amount which the for
mer Governor will have to return
to the state is made up of the fol-
lowing items: Cost of a group pic
ture $3.50 taken by Tucson photo
grapher, Of the former Governor,
Elmo Fields, his chauffeur, and a
group of friends including Clarence
Howard and O. S. French; $190.64
covering seven different trips about
the state in the state-oWned auto
mobile furnished the Governor. In
directing the verdict as to these
items Judge Pickett held that the
law did not give the governor a le-
gal right to take along any persons
he may invite and pay expenses with
taxpayers money. The executive
must personally take care of such
expenses and he is personally liable
for the public funds Illegally ex-
pended.
Accompanying the former Cover
nor on some of his trips, it was tes-
titled, a list included guards from
the state prison, attendants and
the farmer from the state hospital
for the insane, the elevator operator
at the Capitol, and a school bus
driver from Congress Junction. The
latter was carried by Mr. Hunt as
his guest and attended regimental
review at Ft. Huachuca and later a
banquet in Nogales, Sonora.
Claims for the recovery into the
state treasury of the $1,000 alleged
excessive and Illegal" postage and
$4,000 for typewriters were dis
missed as the former governor tes-
titled under oath that the $1,000
item for postage stamps had to the
best of his knowledge been used
for public purposes and that the de-
livery of the new typewriters, bought
at the state expense, to his resi-
dence had been a mistake which NJ
had corrected when called to hi:
I attention. There is no evidence tt
the contrary as to these items.
1t is understood that attorneys
for the former-governor will file al
appeal to the Supreme Court.
