ADJUSTMENTS
Change of Program

Following the policy of the Coli scum, tonight will see all the acts in an entire change of program. Vack X Herman will offer a new line of Dutch character comedy and will no doubt prove the same hit as their former specially. Col. Ned Seymour who has created a sensation with his clarionet solos, has promised a pro- gram which will include not only a new line of limitations, but one of the most difficult of the standard evertures The Marlows will be seen in an added line of work which should prove as enjoyable as fheir present sketch. The electric light effects introduced in this act make it one of the prettiest on the cir cult. and these clever people deserve all the applause which is showered on them at each performance.
 For the moving picture end of the show, the management announces the latest Mutual releases of both comedy and drama.

Arizona republican., 1915-01-23

A report by the committee named to investigate the state land commission resolutions urging the speedy selection of the million odd acres of public land permitted in the enabling act, denounc = ing the plan of the land commission for state reclamation service and recom- mending the abolition of the commis- sion for a single official, were the feat ures of yesterdays session of the Ari- Zona legislative conference, held at the chamber of commerce building.
 Economy in state administration matters, efficiency among attaches and broader and more comprehensive du- ties for everybody from the state con- missions down to school trustees, were some of the suggestions acted upon.
 Among the subjects touched upon yesterday were:
 State legislative reference library Recommended with appropriation of $500 for its establishmentD
 Amendment of law relating to bond issues compelling at least a majority of residents, qualified to vote. to par ticipate in the election, making the pos session of propety a qualification and exempting irrigation district bond is sues was recommended.
 Opposing proposed law to tax bank deposits. The resolution is eXplana- tory, and is here given:
 RESOLVED that it is the sense of this legislative conference. that the proposed law to tax bank deposits should be defeated as this law not only violates the confidential relation be- tween bank and depositors, but would result in the withdrawal of deposits from the state before assessing time and cause a complete upheaval and paralysis of business annually to avoid it's provisions;
 We also oppose any legislation pro viding for the state guaranty of bank deposits as being onerOuS and unfair to conservative banks by compelling them to lose business and to make good losses of inexperienced or reckless bankers: that the experience of states trying such laws proves that the peo- pie do not demand such laws that the same object can be accomplished by adopting a banking code, which vii regulate and restrict all banking oper- ations and will give state bankins department power to enforce the law:
