Arizona republican., 1915-01-13

Fortv-eig of the most representa- tive business men in Arizona held a conference at the Adams Hotel here today and organized as the Arizona Business Improvement League. They decided to circulate petitions through out the state which they hope will cause the legislature to call special election for the reconsideration of the old age and mothers pension act and make suitable changes in the drastic prohibition amendment to the consti- tuition. It was further decided to me morialize the legislature to take action tending to prevent, in the future, such uses of the initiative and referendum such as occurred in the Miami county division bill, the anti blacklist law and other measures submitted to the voters at the last election.
 George NJ. Michaelson, president of the Yuma National bank, was elected chairman and Malcolm A. Fraser, sec retary of the Yavapai county chamber of commerce, secretary. A representa- tive of each county was named as a maker of a statewide organization committee. This body, in turn. named central executive committee of four members.
 Members of the organization com mittee are: Franklin F. Towle, abstrac- ter. Gila; w. s. Purcell, sheep raiser, Apache; James Ball. druggist, Cochise: Ed Sawyer, sheep raiser, Navajo;
