 The proposition to defeat Cunniff has fallen through, but the proposal 10 elect Linney wouldn't down, and then Cochise.

 Meanwhile. Mr. Linney, nothing daunted by the fate that was being prepared for him by his friends, had gal business over the state, being an attorney and it was rumored his iigal business was getting hold of legal votes for the apeakcrship. In the meantime also the present speaker. Sam Bradner was sitting quietly at his work in his office in he state house as secretary ot the Livestock Sanitary Board, and the friends of Lnncy thought the hands of Bradner were tied. But Bradncr also has friends, and these have not been resting on his former laurels by any means. IL was rumored this week that 50 active had they been that MT Linney's candidacy was about to fall of it's own weight, and that Bradncr could be speaker as long as he wants to- All this is not at all comfortable or satisfying to the opponents of the present administra : ton because they had hoped with the assistance of Mir. Linney to have packed the committees of the house in such shape as to make any at tempt at further progressive admin istrative measures fail of passage.
 In any event. it's d merry scrap and the hosts are advancing to the conflict which begins on February 5, 1913. While the conflict wages, the minority can at least sit back as sureG Of the fact they will get as much wages for their efforts as dc the scrappers among the democrats.

LETTER MEN
 ARE CHOSEN
Names of High School Foot ball Players Who Won Letters Announced, and Date Fixed for IntercIass Track Meet

Fourteen members of the high school football squad have won fame on the gridiron. and in the future each of the stars wilt wear the school letter. this being the form taken by the laurel wreath in the local athletic world. The football honor rool is as follows: Geare captain; Raverty, Tuttle Brooks, Dom, Johnson, Hamilton, Wilky. Irion, Me Lemore. Tel. Harrison, SpeaKman, EIv- ans, fourteen men in all
 The constitution of the athletic asso- cfation provides for awarding a letter 10 each man who has played three in- tcrscholastic games or the equivalent during the season, and the list here given Includes all who have met this qualification. The much prized letters will be citfer black or red, as the win ter desires. and of different sizes suit able for the adornnent of sweater fer sey or cap. In due time letters will be aaWrded for proWcss in other sports. and in every case the form ot the let ter will show the kind of contest in which it was won. The football "P'' is of the block style.
 The announcement of awards in ths. high school assembly this morning will finally close the football history of the year, except for the election of next years captain. who will be chosen by the letter men within q few days
 But hard upon the end of football comes the beginning of track Sat urd3y, January II. the season will open with an iuterclasS meet. Dual meets with Tempe high and Tempe normal will probably follow on the text two Saturdays. and on February first the league meet on which the champion ship of the valley depends will be run off at the fair grounds.
 At the interclass contest the school team will oc chosen and Coach COWan urges those who wish to make the team to train faithfully in preparation for the meet q week from tomorrow.
 Now that the date for tEe league meets has been fixed as FeX. I. it is probable that the Republican cross country run will take place the sec und week in February. Both Coach Cowan and Captain Geare are enthusi- astic about the race and at least twenty five entries are expected as the slower men will have the benefit of handicaps and every runner who ent- CTS has chance for the medal.

 1AX COMMISSION
Upon Resignation of r. J. Miller of Yuma, Buckeye Man is Chosen Chairman of Commission for Next Two Years

The state tax commission has q new chairman. He was elected yes terday and is no less a person than Hon. c. NJ Zander of Buckeye, who was one of lie first appointments to the commission by Governor Hunt as soon as the legislature created the lax commission and the bill was ap- proved by the governor. In accord 4nce with the understanding entered into between the commissioners as rn the intent of the law that the chalrmanship should be held a year each by the members, Chairman r. ]. Miller of Yuma county fulfilled his portion of the bargain by handing his resignation in as chairman to take effect the first of the year 1913.
 This was accepted by Mr Zander whose term is the second longest in point of duration was elected to the position of honor and responsibility. But by this act MT. Miller does not loose his membership with the com mission. It is true he was appointed 10 serve until January l. 1913, or the short term, but the supreme court ruled that those in office held over until two more years had passed away. He has made a splendid head of the commission during his term in that office.
 C. NJ. Zander of Buckeye is well known in Maricopa county where he has resided for a number of years, He is an eX-neWSpapef man formerly being connected with the Republican. He has also served as deputy tax assessor and collector. and was prom inent in the progressive wing of the democratic party here for years. He is q sincere admirer of William J Bryan and a friend Of the great "Commoner"
 Unless Chairman Miller had re- signed, MT Zander would have had no opportunity to serve as chairman of the commission Tine letter trans hitting the resignation was acted upon by the commission yesterday morning immediately upon it's receipt It is as follows:
 State Tax Commission.
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Gentlemcn: In conformity with tue spirit and intent of the law creating the tax commission, that each mem Der in turn should be chairman, have the honor to hand you herewith my resignation as chairman of the said commission, to take effect at the first meeting of the said commis- sion in the year 1913.
 Very respectfully,
 r !. MILLER
 In honor Of his election to the head of the commission MT. Zandcr enter tained the tax commission and Sec rctary Royce at dinner at the Hotc Adams last night There were also present H. k. Tritlc of the Gazette and Ira H $. Huggett of The Re publican.

 GOLD |S BIGGER
Director Roberts of United States Mint Issues Some Interesting Figures on Yellow Metal; Striking Statistics
TAssocIATEo PRESS DIspArclIl

WASHINGTON. Jan. ; The worlds production of gold during 1912 was $3.500,ooo greater than in 1911, the total having been $46500O, : 000, according to q preliminary csti- mate announced today by George F. Roberts, director Of the mint. The gold production of the United States amounted to $9l,GS5.ISG. compared with $9G,S90,00o in ls11. California led. with $19,9S8.4S6; Colorado was second. with $1S.79l,710 Alaska third. with $17,39S,946; Nevada fourth. with $l3,331, 1,6So and South Dakota fifth. with $1795.GSo
 Of the worlds production, Trans vaal and Rhodcsia made q gain of about S200o0,000 and Canada gained nearly $3.000,00o The United States, Mexico and Australasia lost about $16,0e0.eo0 and the rest of the world the production was about what il was last year.
 Since 1908. when the production of gold in the world was $442,475, ,000. the annual increase has been small The mint service Of the United States during the year sold $3S, 000,- GOO worth of gold bars for consump lion by the arts of this country and Canada as against 35,000000 in 1911. The net consumption If new gold including coin. in the United States and Canada, is about S35.Ooo.- h0a and in the world. excluding Asia. probably between $l0o,000,Oo and $115000,00o.
 The absorption of gold by India again attracted attention. The net imports of India in 1909 were $50.- o0o,o GOO: in 1910. S90, 1000. .o0o. in 1911, s116,5oo,ooo. and in 1912, aprroXi- tnateIy $l40,oO0, ,0oo.

told by The Republican yesterday
 morning
 The two men escaped from the
 county jail at Florence while the
 residents of that town were noisily
 celebrating the now year. Sheriff NJ. Niece of PjnaI county met officer
 Powers here and took Wilson back
 to Florence.
 The men were brought through Phoenix about week ago. having been committed to Florence for the robbery of a ear at Maricopa. Of ficcr Powers story oI the killing was similar to that related by The Re publican. JIc said that he had word on New Years morning about IL o'clock that two men had escaped from the iail the night before and that they were headed in the dircc- ton of Maricopa He did not. know at the time that they were the men he had lodged in jail. He was also informed later that they had burg Iarizcd a house near Tempe and that they had broken into q sectioI
 house near Harsen Junction and stolen q hand car.
 He arranged the switch at Mari copa so that the hand ear would be derailed and there waited for them. 1 But before reaching the switch they ditchcd the hand ear and struck off across the country to d fire which some hoboes had built The officer followed them and when he came up with them and ordered them to throw up their hands Miller started to run. The officer fired, killing him. Will son surrendered without resistance.
 Wilson said yesterday that he had known Miller in different parts of the
 country ard that he claimed to be q
 yeggman. He had proposed to him
 to engage in burglarious enterprises
 after they had served their time in
 jail
 It is something of a coincidence
 that the initials of Miller, Wilson
 and Officer Powers are the same, I"J C"

POST OFFICE BUSINESS
 FOR THE LAST YEAR
Comparison With the Business O
 Earlier Periods.

The figures of the post office made mp for last year show that th2 amount of business transacted includ- ing the sales of stamps. newspaper postage and box rent was $S9, ,42S.70 an increase of a little more than eleven per cent over the business ot the year before About the same amount increase marked the business for 1911 over that of 1910
 But there has been a startling in- crease within the last four years for in 1908 the volume of business was only $47.1S1.9S and that was $10.000 more than the business of the year before.
 The December business last year was $11,0S113 an increase of more than 5000 compared with the busi- ness of the corresponding month of the year before. It is interesting to note that the business for the month was greater than the business for q quarter ten wears ago

STATE PAYS PREMIUMS
 ON OFFICIAL BONDS
County Officials Will Also Enjoy
 Freedom from Payment.

State and county officials of Ari- zona do not have to pay the premium on their official bonds. That was I matter that the board of supervisors of this county were not quite sure about until yesterday afternoon when it was brought to the attention of the board that the premium on the bonds of most of the state officials had been paid by auditors warrants. The board then decided to make the premium on the bonds of county of ficials a public charge
 The theory is that the premium on an official bond is one of the OK penses of the office. such as station cry, ink urnitura and whatever else may be necessary to the conduct of the business of the office and or which the incumbent could not be cX pected to pay.
 Under the old system when of ficials furnished bonds signed by their neighbors they were at no eN- pense in furnishing them except the trouble of procuring the signatures.
 But of late years all officials have been backed by bonding companies but until now the incumbcnts have all palu the pItlHluitlS out ot lHF' own pockets.
 The board of supervisors yesterday made formal appointment of the pre- cinct offices for the new precincts crea< by the redistrictinG process. The selections were made q week ago and announced. For this precinct the justice is T. T. Powers and the constable, James T. Murphy, who is already in office The new justice will not attempt to discharge the functions of his office until his status has been determined by the supreme court.
