Arizona will vote for the first time next Tuesday for a slate of state offi- cials, two United States senators (subject to formal ratification by the legislature), representative in Con- gress, members of the supreme court, district judges, state senators and representativq, county and precinct officers. In addition Arizona will vote on the proposal to eliminate the judicial recall from the state consti- tution.

Beltrami county has repudiated no debts and stands ready at all 'times to pay her legal obligations. The assertion that unless the bills outlined by the assistant attorney general are paid no loans may be expected by the county from the state are an unjust insinuation. Why should -action of the Board of In- vestment be thus influenced? Isn’t it true that the state should loan its money where it is needed and good security offered? Surely personal feelings should not enter into such a proceedings. The attorney general makes ‘the points that the bills in question can not “honorably” be avoided but the question these bills legally be paid. In his talk at the informal meeting of the board of county commissioners, Mr. Janes admitted that if Beltrami refuses to pay these bills, that the state could not legally recover against the coun- ty. x If these bills .are legal charges against the county why should the commissioners “pledge” themselves to pass such bills when presented? If- they are legal charges, why must threats be made to withhold needed state aid by way of loans on ditch bonds, in order to drive the board in- to doing its “legal duty”? Why are not these bills, if legal charges, pre- sented to the county as any other proper county charge, and if disal- lowed by the board, appeals taken, as in case of any other bills likewise disallowed? < If, as the attorney general says “the majority of the taxpayers will not stand for this. It is the default of the officials,””—when did he come to the conclusion that public senti- ment made law, or that public offi- cials should be controlled by “pub- lic sentiment” instead of by the law? ‘Why does the attorney general try to lay the blame on County Attorney Graham M. Torrance for being of the remains, how can legal opinion that such claims are| [ not a legal charge against the coun- that all proper bills would be, paid, and that every legal obligation of the county would be promptly met. This was at an informal meeting of the board, they were not assembled for the purpose of transacting busi- ness, and the only object of the meeting was to obtain the pledges of the members present that they would vote for the payment of such bills, when presented. “In reply to a query from Chair- man Peterson, Mr. Janes admitted that if these claims were not volun- tarily paid by the board, and the] claimants brought suit against the county, that in all probability the county could not be compelled to pay them. “Under these circumstances, it is unfortunate that any newspaper should herald the ‘fact’ that Beltra- mi county has repudiated its obliga- tions. The failure of our county com- missioners to ‘pledge’ themselves, in advance, to the payment of bills not then before them, falls far short of repudiation. The fact that the strict ‘legality’ of these claims is at least sufferers.” cents. and take no other. \troubled by disordered kidneys for three or four years and it was diffi- cult for me to do my work.
