AUTO|STS MAKE
 OVER MAR|COPA
Auto Club and Prepare to ~ Extend Its Power-Will Assist in Forming State
 Branch of A. A. A.-Mo-
 torists' Busy Session

Without question the most inn pcrtant step that has been taken in the aid and support of touring. good roads boosting and generating soclabllity between towns was that which was taken at last nights meeting of autoists, when the Mari copa Auto club was reorganized with the entire membership of the Four As joining.
 The question which was raised of permitting the well known Maricopa club to die and leave the All Ari- zona Automobile association to work regaining the popularity of that club and its effectiveness as q treater with the automobile powers that be had some effect, for the proposal to make the organization of the state association conditional upon the re- organization of the state association conditional upon the reorganization of the Maricopa club and the joining with it of clubs of Tucson and Prescott met instant approval. Mir. Bullard. the president, spoke first on the matter of making the action a rejuvenation of the old club
 This important business over. the meeting turned to the subject Of good roads, and how best to get them. In turn President Builard called on motorists, good roads ad- vocates and finally called a sym posium of prominent legislators to talk on the subject. The discussers were, Mr. Bullard. C. II. Akers, J. S Morrison. president of the Auto
 
 Linney of the Arizona house of re- presentatives, Hon. T G. Norris of Prescott. president of the Arizona Good Roads association, Senators HubbeH. Chase. Harrison. who op- posed good roads, and always went on horseback. anyway Brown, who wanted to see the good roads bonds issued but also desired provision of the same sort for other cO-equal factors in the states development, such as irrigation. Pace, who will boost the proposition. Hon. Reese M Ling and Hon. w. P. Geary.
 Under the plan which was adopted last night the new Maricopa Auto club will at once take steps to get the necessary additional state clubs to join in order that the state asSo citation may affiliate with the Amer ican Automobile association. The Maricopa club has an excellent name with the promoters of races, the Three AS, and it was found advisable to continue it's use. Pres colt and Tucson each have clubs which on the words of AIr Bullard and MT Norris are ready to join
 i,, tf, get the necessary recognition from the national association. MT. Norris explained that he was sure of only the sentiment of a number of the members of the Prescott Auto club and not of it's official feeling. But he was reasonably sure that the af- filiation would be received with inn mediate approval. Tucson. it seems. is pledged to join the Maricopa club in forming the state association. Rv some arrangement with the A. A. A. it will be possible to make the pay ment of a small membership fee and dues into the state treasury for aA 1 upkeep fund for the state organization and to satisfy also the membership as l easements of the national body. The old Maricopa auto club had q member ship credit with the A. A. A. which is also an asset, transferred to the new 1 club.
 The reports of the two committees on arrangements for the two preliminary runs were heard and accepted, from | the chairmen. Dr. RedewiH of the | White mountains run and A. R. Cat | ter of the Camp Creek run. The latter | 1 It is the purpose of the committeeman, l Cater. Royal Lescher and Tom Trent
