 been held by this body. and many nat ters were discussed at length.

 was for the purpose of getting some
 matters out of the way and that there
 was some important business to be disposed of by the members of the or ganization. c. W. Allen advocated
 that the Board of Trade appoint q com
 mittee te send into Phoenix for the purpose of advocating legislation of seml-montaly pay rolls for corporations and 10 abolish the boletto system.
 Among the speakers who spoke upon this matter was !. M. O'Connel. who took the ground that the higher courts of 2, majority of states had held that such a law was unconstitUtionai and advised deliberaiion and investigation before acting. The matter was finally settled by the appointment of n com
 nittee of three and Judge J. NJ. O'Con- nell, George II. Neaie and F. A. Tovreis were appointed as such committee to report to the Board of Trade rom time 10 time upon n4tsrs of legisla- tion which may be pending.
 Professor Brown. who Is expecting to open business college here, was
 
 talk and met vita hearty reception. Everyone expressed himself as greatly pleased with thes assurance of getting
 business college here and the Board Of Trade stamped the endorsement of
 tho organization upon the project. The next matter waich was looked
 into was that of board of charities. This matter was discussed at length, | and the following plan was adopted All the ministers of the several church e Of the city. the commanding officer
 Cf the Salvation Army. and the secre- | tary of the Y. NJ C. A. were elected | honorary members of the Board of
 Trade. Thvse gentlemen. together with C W. Allen. Fred Coleman and C. K. Reynolds. secretary of the Board
 of Trade will comprise the board of
 charities
 Thei.' province will be to deternin. waai 1T any Of he applications foi | charity gre iustifiablo and should be 1 assisted. When the individual citt zsn Is approached by one soliciting charity the charity system that tho
 board cOntemDlates is to send the party seeking aid to the secretary oi fae Board of Trtde,
 | The secretary Of the Board of Trade
 will question tho applicant thoroughly and will determine what the reason
 for his want is, and to determine some good reason why the mendicant is l seeking aims from the public. When
 the secretary is convinced that there is good reason why he should be as | sisted he will turn him over to some ether member of the committee, who will further examine the applicant ana l lVsrn out as far as is possible all about i his unfortunate condition and the
 reason way he is out begging. IL was agreed that when those whu are cut with the "big nit trying to impose upon the public in every man ner possible. that some such arrange l ment should bG adopted to head this
 off that the public would not be i'm | posed upon.
 Everyone having clothes or anytniDa which will be of benefit to the commit tee in supplying the needs of those
 coming in from time to time will be | asked to hand in whatever they have
