Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton and to the secretary of the COM
mercial club, in which the following
ideas are brought out:
Each organization has its own sphere
of usefulness, and it is not the purpose
of this movement to in any way inter-
are doing. But there are many occas-
ions when the concerted action of the
commercial bodies will be of great
value. For instance, at present, there
is a matter of an armOry for Phoenix
and pending legislation, both matters
concerning which "our house should
not be divided against itself"
To accomplish a closer relation be
tween these bodies, with these ends il
view, the joint committee proposes {

TO EXTEND CITY
COURTS POWER
Bill Now Before House
Would Add to Jurisdic
ton Of Police Courts the
Powers Of Justices.of the
Peace

A great deal of interest is being
manifested in House Bill -, now in
the Judiciary committee. which con-
fers upon city courts concurrent
jurisdiction, or, in other words. the
same powers now exercised by justice
of the peace courts, including the
right to subpoena witnesses not in
side the city limits. The bill limits
the jurisdiction in civil cases to $1,000.
1t provides for the establishment of
these courts in cities of 1000 popula-
ton and over, but grants to those
cities the right to decide for them
selves whether or net they desire such
courts to be established
The bill was drawn largely under
the supervision of City Attorney
George Christy. and has the support
Of the city attorney of Tucson In
both these cities the city courts are
hampered to some extent by their
inability to summon outside the city
limits. and often. because of that lack
of power important cases are lost for
want of such evidence as those wit
nesses. without the limit of the sum
moning power Of the city court, could
give.
1t is claimed for the proponents of
the bill that should the act be passed
the city of Phoenix could avail itself
of the provisions of the measure and
extend the jurisdiction of the city
court without additional expense to
the taxpayers and thus in the almost
immediate future forestall the ex-
pense upon the taxpayers of the es-
e adjustment Of another division OF
the superior court within the county
of Maricopa.
The city court, under the provis-
ions of the bill. could exercise the
functions of an examining magistrate

Three times elected governor Of his

the Republican party demands pro-

Admiration is aroused by the man

the hobgoblin of small minds. If he

feel that he had laid himself open to
the charge Of having a small mind.
Certainly that charge cannot be made
in the light of his recent action in en-
bracing the Republican faith
The most significant feature of the
former governors announcement that
he is candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor is to be
found in the fact that he feels that
success will crown the efforts of the
Republicans in the next campaign.

cause worry to the Democrats. who
