With eighty-two dead, and fifty mining, fears were felt tonight of even greater loes a a result of the typhoon which roareb across the central Philippine islands last weekend. Wires were prostrated and roads blocked, but belated reports indicated the list of casualties probably would be lengthered with restoration of communications. A targe number of native fishermen perished in the sinking of many small boats off the coasts of Leyte and Cebu islands. Property damage on those islands was reported more than $500,000 and $250,000, respectively. Further reports, it was feared, would bring details similar to the great storms on Leyte island of November, 1928, whe.t 234 persons died, and May, with 119 deaths.

Those typhoons destroyed sugar, banana and rice crops. Outside aid was necessary to save the people from famine, as thousands rendered homeless by wind and flood wandered helplessly.

The year end check up of business will prove a large measure of the fright as groundless and the depression will be a thing of the past." ARIZONA JOB RELIEF ASKED BY GOVERNOR PHOENIX. Jan. 6. (P) Gov. G.

W. P. Hunt called upon the constituted authorities of all state, county and municipal departments, in a proclamation today, to provide employment for the thousands of Idle In Arizona. Tho proclamation, the first Issued by the Incoming chief executive, was filed Immediately after he reached his office this morning. Governor Hunt pointed out Arizona's unemployment situation Is exceeded only by the volume of similar distress In other states, and "as a result several thousands of Arizona citizens and those do-pendent upon them are suffering acute distress, hardship and want." He directed the state, county and municipal officers to "cooperate in providing employment for Arizona citizens of a constructive and economic character," through advancement of plans and programs for highway improvement and construction of public buildings.

Coincident with the governor's proclamation, the state highway commission promulgated a resolution urging the federal government require contractors on federal aid projects within the state of Arizona to employ local labor and "pay such labor the equal of the prevailing prices paid In the state for such labor." Other Classifications Are Cut By Assessors in Tucson Meeting AUTO DEALERS LOSE Officers Elected by Group With Ruggles Again Made President Slicing the minimum values for 1931 on lite various classes of personal property, the Arizona state tax commission, meeting here Monday with county assessors, pointed the way to rising tax rates. Fourteen assessors were present. Reduction in the minimum values for cattle marked the morning session of the board. Automobile dealers, appearing for further alleviation of taxable values on motor cars for the purchaser, noosed themselves with return of the 191!) rule whereby auto dealers are taxed on ene-twelfth of their annual gross sales and stock in trade at inventory. Declining prices reported for bef and dairy products, and dull forecasts for the coming two years, led the board to reduce the minimum values of range cattle, Including all calves of the preceding year, fiom $19 to $15.

This satis-field the strongest request from a body of cattlemen who appeared. Steers, two years and up, were reduced from $25 to $20, beef or feeders were dropped from $30 to $25. The greatest change came In class A milk cows, reduced from $100 minimum value to $75. Class milk cows were dropped from $40 to $30. Purebred, graded or stock cows, heifers and bulls were taken from three disiin classes and arranged in a single class of stock ca'tle, no minimum being fixed.

Sheep Value Down Minimum values of sheep were reduced from $4 50 to $3. Sheepmen woo appeared before the board said that prices weie down to such an extent that outlook for profits are practicably gone, and that water development and improvement of ranches has left the sheep farmers In dire straits. A group of Pima county auto dealers asked that assessors make use of current blue book appraisals. Tlvj assessors, somewhat incensed by results of a neatcd argument, moved to lift the ruling whereby aulo dealers were allowed May 1, to dispose of new ears on hand January 1, and November 1, for used cars, and to supplant it by one which will bring tax against the as aforementioned. B'allure of auto dealers to cooperate in the 1930 plan, as alleged by a number of the assessors, was given as reason for the change.

Annual meeting of the assessors, as the Assessors' associa-. tion, saw the te-nlectlon of W. O. Kuggles of Mohave county, president, and E. Oglesby of Maricopa county, secretary.

Resolutions Passed Several resolutions were passed by the association as follows: Favoring concentration of collection of personal property tax In the hands of the county treasurers; the resolution of the tax commission for the abolition of the school and roud tax; inauguration of an independent body to review all classes of property for tax purposes; and endorsing A. D. Ming for a position on the inlustrial commission. As a body, the tax commission and assessors passed resolution endorsing a proposed bill calling for appropriation to se: up for the county assessors, pi it books on land in the state not already on the tax rolls for assessment. Minimum values for 1931 were made, as follows; Fences, per wire mile, $25, same; nfcrchandisc to be assessed as per full inventory values, less 10 per cent, merchant to receive credit on replacement values In accordance (Continued to Page 4, Col.

Haskin, Director, WASHINGTON, D. C. Don't Wait Until They Are All Gone! Legion's Bill to Liberalize Veterans' Act Will Be Up to House OTHER LAW PLANNED Several Proposed Measures Would Put Money Into Soldier Pockets WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. (AP) Amid echoing demands for cash payment on adjusted certificates, Chairman Johnson of the house veterans committee today prepared to introduce a bill proposinp; the greatest liberalization asked by the American Legion since existing provisions were enacted seven years ago.

The bill drafted by the legion would amend the AVorld veterans In 24 separate ways. It would Increase pension rates, provide hospitalization for all veterans regardless of service connec tion of their ills, extend present temporary dependency allowances to dependants of permanently disabled, and supply additional widows and orphans pensions. Advocates of certificate payments renewed their demands hearing on a number of such proposals, but Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee stfod firmly against taking them up. Bill Introduced Representative Garner, Texas, Democratic leader. Introduced a bill to provide cash payment of the surrender value of the certificates, at the option of the veteran.

Representative Fish, Republican, New York, said he had reason to believe the national commander of the legion was gauging sentiment on the New Yorker's request that the executive committee be called together to take a stand on the question. "If lie does not respond within a few days," Fish added, "I will have something more to say." The New Y'orker is sponsoring cash payment of 25 per cent of the final face value of the certificates, whether or not the veterans have borrowed from the government on Representative Pat man. Democrat. Texas, said about 150 members had sljrned his petition to force action on his bill for payment in full. Representative Ludlow, Democrat, Indiana, also Introduced a bill to authorize the director of the veterans bureau to pay veterans an amount equal to the value of his certificated Increase by 25 per cent, Pius per cent interest.

Big Sum Involved The American Legion bill includes two provisions which experts said last year would call for an outlay of $30,000,000 and $12,000,000 each. These are, respectively, one to give to dependents of permanently disabled the same allowances now available to dependents of temporarily disable.1 veterans and one to place a chronic constitutional disease developed before 1025 on a list of maladies presumed of service origin. World war disability pension rates, now ranging from $12 to $40 monthly would be made to conform with Spanish-American war disability allowances which range from $10 to $G0 a month. The bill would extend to World war widows and orphans the same pension now allowed Spanish-American monthly for widows and $6 for children. actrIarrted in narcotic case SAN jn.

She was taken to the eitv fell, and police said this evening they had turned the case nvor in ihi authorities.

in Similar Case To Noted Jersey Ruling NEW YORK, Eighteenth amendment was held to have been legally adopted In a decl. sion today by the United States circuit court of appeals. The defense was the same as In the recent Sprague case In New Jersey in which Federal Judge Clark held the amendment had not been legally ratified. The court of appeals affirmed the conviction of Louis E. Thibault of Windsor, who was accused of possessing and selling two pints of whisky.

In the Sprague case counsel for the losing side announced today the appeal would be taken to the United State supreme In each case counsel defending the accused person contended that after adoption of the Tenth amendment no amendment giving the national government additional powers over the people or over their rights could be adopted except by the people In convention or by their delegated representatives. The Eighteenth amendment, they contended, was not legally ratified by the states because it was approved by the legislatures Instead of state conventions fathered for the express purpose of considering It. Judge Clark supported and elaborated upon this contention In New Jersey federal court and freed William Sprague, the defendant, on the ground the prohibition amendment had not been legally adopted. The court of appeals declared today the supreme court already had held the Eighteenth amendment to have been proposed and ratified lawfully. The amendment.

It ruled, "had become a part of the constitution and must be respected and must be given effect the same as other provisions of that instrument." "There has been a long acquiescence and approval of the method of proposing and ratifying amendments as followed In the case of the Eighteenth amendment," the decision said. "The constitution was adopted in 17S9. The first ten amendments were In 1791. All, even the first ten amendments were proposed and ratified in like manner to the Eighteenth. Pursuant to article 5 the alternative power was vested In the people, to be exercised by a choice of the members of the legislatures of the several states, or the constitutional conventions and by choice of representatives In congress.

"If it Is the will of the people to change by amendment the constitu tion, the method In article 5 was effective even after passage of the Tenth amendment. The supreme court cases referred are authorlta-time and binding upon us. It follows that the defense Interposed of unlawful ratification of the Eighteenth amendment is without merit."

CAREER IS Scott White, Another Veteran, Now Occupies Office of Secretary of State PHOENIX, Jan. Gov.

George. W. V. Hunt's assumption of office today, while it was devoid of all ceremony, did not lack spontaneous color. Hunt became governor, and John C.

Phillips relinquished the post, automatically, at midnight. In the way of inauguration there wasmothlng more to be done. The new governor and his entire administration had filed their oaths of office some weeks ago. The foregathering of a pioneer clan of old time leaders In Arizona's affairs, however, was In itself splashed with reminiscent incident. The governor in his time has been a restaurant waiter, a cow-puncher, a mino mucker, and a commercial company clerk.

He left the ancestral home in Huntsvillo, rather than enter the medical profession, upon which his parents Insisted, and battled through to the presidency of the old Dominion Commercial company at Globe, then on the western frontier. In Territorial Days lie served 14 years In the territorial legislature before Arizona aspired to become a member of the Union, and In 1910 was president of the constitutional convention which prepared the territory for statehood. As a matter of course, almost, he became the first governor, and to date he Is only the third chief executive the state has had. Thomas C. Campbell, Republican, took over the administration in 1920, when Hunt temporarily retired from politics of his state, and in 1928 John C.

Phillips, also Republican, defeated the old warhorse for the first time that feat had been accomplished, niunt then was seeking the seventh term, he finally wrested from Phillips last November. Another Veteran Scott White, 75-year-old fire-eater who kept the peace as sheriff of turbulent Cochise county In the wide-open silver days, was there to take over his duties as secretary of state, as also was Mit Simms, newly elected state treasurer, who was a member with Hunt of the constitutional convention, and who has served once before as treasurer, and once also as secretary of state. The political careers of the three have marched hand in hand over nearly a half century. A few handshakes sufficed to welcome the old timers to the capi-tol. To Hunt it was merely a homecoming.

He knew nearly everyone, and where they belonged. A touch of humor entered the picture when a capitol employe whom the governor did not know, and who apparently did not know the governor, wandered In looking for Gov. Phillips. The absent minded one fled when he awoke to the facts. Much at Home Hunt was very much at home Indeed.

He had no only the same desk and chair he had occuplded two years ago, but the same private secretary, J. W. Strode, and the same stenographer, Mrs. Edna W. Hill.

He waxed reminiscent of his first inauguration IS years ago. "Then we had an elaborate Inauguration," he said. "But there was a reason it was the birth of statehood for Arizona. I like this one better, no fuss or feathers. It's more democratic." "But that other one It was the (Continued to Page 4, Col.

New City Clerk Takes Post During Meeting, Judge And Treasurer Named With standing room at a premium in the council chamber of the city hall Monday night, the expected surprise in the form of city departmental heads lopped off by the 1931 city council failed to materialize. The roster of officials, already thrice published and headed by George R. Wade as city manager, was appointed, but the mooted positions of city engineer, water superintendent, street commisioner and some other city jobs were never mentioned In the official record of the meeting. Wade received his appointment as city manager, with the string "temporary" hung onto it- C.

E. Fequlg-not was reappointed auditor and J. W. Buchanan as treasurer, Charles Erwln as city clerk, L. O.

Cowan and city magistrate, and Thomas J. Elliott as city attorney. This made up the antl-cllmactlo list of appointees. On Councilman Harry DeFord's motion the council elected to obtain, the services of a competent public accountant, that the city's books and all city departments might be audited for tho period June 30, 1930, to Dec. 30, 1930.

The finance committee was given full power to act. Old Council Adjourns The old council was called to order for the last time by Mayor W. A. Julian. Immediately afterward, C.

E. Pequlgnot, city man ager at $1 a year for the past year. tendered his resignation, which the old council accepted. Julian then thanked his cohorts for their aid and co-operation for the past year and thanked all his department heads. Tho old council then ad journed and gave their seats to the new mayor and council.

Mayor Julian escorted Mayor G. K. Smith to the mayor's seat and the following replacements at the table were made: Fred Steger for Pete Waggoner; -Henry O. Jaastad for George Reed; Dan Garvey for Hart; Harry DeFord for P. Oliver Drachman for W.

M. Killcn. Councilman E. T. Cusick.

carrying over from the last term, remained seated. Judge Cowan then called the roll for the last time. Starting his tenure of office with a bang, Mayor Smith read off the appointments that were to cause such disappoint ment. The temporary appointment of Wade as city manager came first and Wade then recommended the appointment of J. E.

Dyer as chief of police and Joe Roberts as fire chief. Both were approved by the council. Followed the remaining names on the partial roster. Civil Service Later Mayor Smith announced that the civil service commission would be appointed at the next meeting of the council. Following the reading: and ap proval of the sextette appointed, the crowd and various members of the council, to sny nothing of encumbent city officials, waited in bated breath for the mayor's next utter ance.

It had to do with some com monplace and Councilman Cusick slipped him a note asking "How about the rest of the appoint "There will be no more appointments tonight," Mayor Smith said, and that was that. After the meeting, when asked as to the probability of Imminent changes. Smith' said, "There is (Continued to Page 2, Col, 5) MAN IN CAVE EATS CARROT TALLOW PARMA, Idaho, Jan. 5. UP) Driven by hunger to eating dried carrots and tallow, a man known to residents of this town only as "Selby," has been found in a cave along tho Snake river, near here.

But when proffered charity, he refused it, asserting there were others more needy than he. His cave hollowed out of the high river bank by his own hands, was discovered by autolsts. A blanket constituted the only shelter from the icy wind. Probably a little over 50 years old, he was almost without bedding. Had Jn his pockets and exhibited a good knowledge of English and an Interest in cm-rent events.

Residents of this little town hurriedly rushed food and blankets to him when they first discovered him but he at first refused them. Insisting families with children should be cared for first; He finally was prevailed upon to accept a supply of flour and lard and a few blankets to augment the frozen pumpkin, carrots and tallow found in his cave. He apparently had occupied the cave for weeks during which the temperature in this vicinity has fallen to zero and below. He hoped to get through the winter with his $2. Each week he walked across the river to Nyssa, he said.

There he read the papers In pool halls, spent ten cents for tallow and ten cents for vegetables and returned to his hand-made cave, FULL TIME FOR S. P.

Announcement of the full time basis of employment by the 300 men employed In the 'back shops" was m-ide Monday by William Wilson, division superintendent. The men during tho past three months had been working approximately half time, Wilson explained.

(fT) Lloyd Milton Glass, seven year old son of J. H. Glass, Phoenix high school teacher, was killed today when he dashed from behind a parked automobile Into the path of a heavy truck. It was the first fatality as tho result of an automobile during the new year. S.

J. N. Martin, Casa Grande rancher, driver of the truck, and witnesses to the mishap told County Attorney L. J. Andrews it was unavoidable.

The conference will close Saturday. The first day of the conference was marked solely by session, in the forenoon, of the home demonstration section of the meeting, at which Miss Mary Rokahr, U. S. department of agriculture extension economist in home management, appeared as a principal speaker with discourse on home management projects that can be easily carried without specialist's help. Plans for the conference were outlined early in the morning bv Mrs.

Frances I. Brown, state home dem-! onstration agent. A report on the recent -White House conference on child health was made by Director Ross.

The program for today, to be con-j ducted in room 104, agriculture I building, will include: PARIS, Jan. 5. dV) Marshal Joseph Jacques Joffre. the "defender of Paris" as ho will go down In history, lay in state today to receive homage from the people of France that has rarely, perhaps never, been surpassed In his country's annals. All knew beforehand magnificent manifestations of respect would be paid beside the bier of the man who was almost an idol of the French masses, but tho number of Frenchmen and French women who poured from their homes today to honor him exceeded all forecasts.

The crowd began to take form at dawn and slowly It grew until just before nightfall It became a vast multitude which at one moment got out of bounds and women were knocked down and trampled upon.
