JOHN MITCHELL PRESIDENT
 1. 4. CHAMBER COMMERCE

Los Angeles, Calif., Jan. 26.-The new president of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce is said to have the widest personal acquaintance of any man in the Southwest. When it was announced that John S. Mitchell had been chosen by unanimous vote to guide the leading commercial organi- zation of the pacific coast, every town in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Southern California felt that it had a personal representative on the big job.
 Although not native son, Mir. Mitchell has passed years in mining and developing projects in the terri tory of which Los Angeles is the me tropolis.
 He is so we'll known in Arizona that the Hassayampa society of Southern California made him its president and he still is chief booster for the organi- zation. The Hollenbeck hotel, of which Mir. Mitchell is proprietor, is headquarters for Arizonans in Los Angeles.
 Development of mining in the Southwest is prominent among the blanks in the 1916 platform for the chamber announced by Mir. Mitchell
 The installation of the new officers will be held the evening of Washing tons birthday, when an elaborate America First" dinner will be given at one of the leading hotels

CENTRALlING POWER
 AND TENANTRY SYSTEM
States selling Birth Right to central government for Mess of Pot tage."


 Had it been possible the old Con federates who fought war in de- fense of State rights would have jumped out of their graves with a yell of protest this afternoon when the Ferris land-leasing bill passed the House of Representatives The south ern Democrats now in control of the government are hammering the life out of State rights and this leasing bill is one of the hardest blows.
 The Ferris bill is one of series of similar measures put out by Secretary Lane. It provides that, in future, all mining lands shall be retained by the United States to be leased to instead of taken up by mining men.
 This with the water-power bill, which recently passed the House, will be savagely resisted in the Senate as a protest against the effort of the Wilson administration to centralize the government.
 The position of the Republican Sen ators was epitomized in recent re- port by Senator Works of Los Angeles on the slum condition in the District of Columbia, in which he said
 "We are spending money lavishly, extravagantly and paternally in the States. The dividing line between the States and the Federal government is fast disappearing by the raid of States on the national treasury. The States are selling their jurisdiction and their sovereignty for money. We are centralizing our government at an alarming rate and to a degree that l am afraid few appreciate and for purely mercenary and selfish req sons."
 It happens that these leasing bills will also be fought on exactly the op- posite reason--that to lease public lands deprives the State governments of an important part of their income
 Under the present system, where public lands are given outright to set tiers and miners, the lands become part of the taxable property of each State. Under the leasing system, the i lands will not be taxable. The State is to receive certain proportion of the receipts, but the Republicans feel that there is a slim chance of any such income amounting to anything during the life of the present genera tion. Unhappily the remedial legisla- tion for the relief of the California oil men is to be made rider to the Ferris bill.

Before an Audience

Anybody who has ever suffered from stage fright--and who of us has not? must smile aloud over the following veracious tale from the Western Christian Advocate:
 The chairman of the committee was addressing meeting at a teachers institute;
 My friends, the schoolwork is the bulhouse of civilization. mean ah--"
 He began to feel frightened.
 "The bulhouse is the schoolwork of civ---"
 A smile could be felt
 "The workhouse is the bulschool of"
 He was evidently twisted.
 "The schoolbul is the housework--'
 An audible snigger spread over the audience.
 "The bulschool--" He was getting wild. So were his hearers. He moped his precipitation grited his teeth, and made a fresh start.
 "The shoolhouse, my friends" A sign of relief went up. Hamlet was himself again!
 He gazed serenely around. The light of triumphant self-confidenct was enthroned upon his brow.

 And that is when he lost consciuos ness.

FOREST SERVICE ESTIMATES
 GAME KILLED DURING YEAR

Reports submitted by Forest off, cers in charge of the National Forests of Arizona show a total of 1863 deer, 562 turkeys, 34 bear, 404 coyotes, A wolves, and 102 lions as killed by hunters during the season of 1915. These reports do not pretend to be mathematically accurate, but are care ful estimates based on close obesrva- tions by the Forest Rangers, and give good general index to hunting con ditions.
 Forest officers point out that the game question is serious especially in the Apache Forest, where the copper mine strikes during the fall resulted in so many idle men that 450 of them took to the hills on hunting trips. This constituted such heavy drain on the game supply that this once famous hunting region is in danger of depletion. 476 deer and 375 tur- key are reported as having been killed there during the season.
 Arizona Forest Rangers complain of the difficulty of enforcing the de- fective game law of that state. The law does not require that deer car casses be accompanied by horns or other evidence of sex, and this, they say, makes it almost impossible to ap- prehend killers of does and lawns. They point out that State Game War den Willard has tried to strengthen the law on this point, but his bill did not meet with the peoples support In Arizona, as in New Mexico it is said, the people must soon choose be- tween the virtual extermination of big game or the prompt enactment of either five year closed season or the game refuge bill now before Con gress.
 The killing of over 1000 lions and wolves in the Arizona Forests is bound, in the opinion of the Forest Service, to be source of gratifca- ton to everybody, and means clear saving of at least $100,0O0 worth of game and livestock.

the receiving of committee reports.

left to the new board Of directors, as
no candidate received a majority. The
directors will also select the next con-
Vention city. Among the cities seek
