Lockwood 5 Employees Win Salary Claim
The Arizona Supreme Court ordered State Auditor Jewel W. Jordan to pay the salary of Kent D. Lockwood state post auditor and five aides. In a unanimous ruling, the court said the act creating the office violates no constitution and Lockwood is lawfully in possession, with the writ of mandamus directing payment. The decision ends Jordan's withholding since March 16 and confirms Lockwood’s interim appointment since Oct. 1, 1950, for a two year term presumed to end June 30, 1955, unless legislature acts.

Tax Commission predicts record income tax gain and lower rate
Arizona Tax Commission officials project a record 1951 income tax intake near 9 million dollars based on 1950 earnings. Chairman Moore notes current receipts around 7.31 million with 76 percent counted, while copper and zinc price rises drive higher payments. If reached, the 9 million figure would surpass 1949 records, allowing direct 3.5 million more to reduce the state property tax, though exact gains depend on property valuations due by August.
