TOT DISCUSSIONS on Charter
 The meetings of the committee of one hundred and twenty-five differ in one important particular from most public meetings held in the southwest. in that part they are short and the business of the meeting is rapidly dis posed of with the consequent result that the interest in the operations of the committe continues. Last nights session was another evidence of this With an hour from the time the meet ing was called, one hundred and twen- ty-five members of the general com mittee had been assigned to the seven teen sub committees. appointmnts had been made for meetings of the execu- tive committee and the charter com mittee and the gneral netting had ad- jOurned.
 The earnestness of the members of the movement was also well illustrated with the applause after a speech by Eugene Brady O'Neill. in which he told of the work Of the advisory committee in making the assignments, he asked that every member of the general com mittee in spite of the fact that assign ments had been made in many cases that had not been requested, that all pitch in and work for the betterment of Phoenix and for Arizona.
 Chairman Talbot called the meeting to order last night in the court room El II building and after stating that the ad- visory committe had been forced to meet twice in order to thoroughly can Vass the list of names submitted for committee assignments, and after the minutes of the previous meeting had been read by Secretary Frank B. Trott, called upon MT. Trott to read the list of the committee assignments
 The committee assignments were as follows:
 The executive committe is to consist of the chairmen of the regularly ap- pointed subcommittees together with the officers of the committee of one hundred and twenty five The off cers IS chosen at the meeting on Mon day night were Walter Talbot. presi- dent; H. B Wilkinson. vice chairman: Frank B. Trott, secretary. George Si- mon who was elected assistant secre- tary notified the committee last night with his regrets that he will be unable to serve as an officer.
 Following the assignment of commit tees, the question of the employment of an assistant secretary in place of Mir George Simon was taken up and dis cussed at length. and it was finally de cided, that the secretary and president should be empowered to choose an as sistant secretary and the matter Of | compensation for the performance of l secretarial duties should he left to the executive committed
 w. B. Lount, a member of the former ] charter commission; and also mem | Der Of the charter subcommittee of the committee of one hundred and twenty 1 five. then addressed the meeting and suggested that it be thoroughly under stood that all who were willing to make their beliefs regard to charters known | should be given an audience by the | cha ter subcommittee, but he realized this would take up a large amount oi
 
 believed it to be the sense of the or ganization that tn various subcommit- | tees appointed upon the other matters of public moment will have suggestions worth consideration upon matters that should by all means appear in the char ter. and he therefore proposed a resolu- 1 ton, the effect of which he hoped 1 would be to have all the important l things threshed out and settled befor, l the subcommittee so that there will b, no chance for a repetition of the regret able incident that overcame the for mer proposed charter.
 | The resolution was unanimously 1 adopted as follows:
 Tt is the sense of this committee tha all members of this body shall be con | sidered exofficio members of the sub | committee on charter, and that the! have all privileges except that of vot ing. and that when the subcommitte, on charters submits it's report to tn, | whole committee no amendments O alterations shall be consderede xcept b, a majority vote of the whole commit tee
