scribe funds or merchandise for the
benefit of societies, organizations or
individuals must first have the sane
ton of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association. In this manner
the undesirable propositions are
weeded out and many thousands of
dollars annually are saved to the
business men in Phoenix.
One of the features of the evening
was the annual report of President
w. L. Pinney of the association. This
report was as follows:
Report of President
The Merchants & Manufacturers
association was organized in Decem-
Der, 1911, and Incorporated two
months later. H. A. Diehl was our
first president, being succeeded in
1914 by c. H. Pratt. P. T. Slayback
was elected president in 1915, and
on his removal from the city a few
months later, w. L. Pinney, vice
president, acted as president for the
remainder of the year, and has been
twice since elected to that office by
the board of governors.
II. NJ. Clemens was the first sec
rotary and served, as such, with the
exception of part of 1918, until his
utdti III NONtllDGI. 1919. MIS-
Clemens has most efficiently per-
formed the duties of that office since
that time. AS Mrs. Clemens VIII

manent residence shortly, Charles 3.

Our membership started with about
so. and in the past two or three
years has fluctuated between 125 and
$50. We have had no committees
soliciting new members the past two
years. The benefits that have ac-
crued to the merchants of this city
by the work of this association should
be sufficient inducement for every
business house in the city to belong,
without personal solicitation.
Merchants License Tax
If the association had done nothing
else but secure the adjustment OF
the merchants license tax, which
after three years work it accom-
plished July 1, 1915, saving the mer-
chants of the city over $4,000 per
annum, that alone should cause every
business house to contribute to the
support of an organization whose ex-
penses are less than $4,000 per yeac

but it was not accomplished with

money.

Peter Corpstein was unanimously
endorsed for mayor of Phoenix by
the Merchants and Manufacturers
association at the annual meeting last
night at the Adams hotel, when mem
bers were elected, as stated, to serve
as the board of directors for the
ensuing year. Reports of the presi-
dent, w. L. Pinney, former Secre-
tary Mrs. Clemens and Treasurer II.
A. Diehl were read.
Fifty members Of the association
attended the organizations annual
dinner at the Adams. Among the
out town guests was Harry Coulby,
q steel manufacturer of Cleveland,
who is spending the winter at the
San Marcus hotel at Chandler. Mr.
Coulby spoke at some length. His
talk was devoted largely to the great
war questions before the American
people today. He made an earnest
plea that everyone help to his full
ability. "The quickening is coming"
said he; this war will require ire
mendous sacrifices. Help the Red
Cross, help all the war organizations.

great job, to save this country. and
TO make the world safe for de-
mocracy."
Mr.. Coulby recited how l. years
ago he attended a banquet in his
own country, one at which We're pres
ent government reclamation officials
who took occasion to tell about the
great Roosevelt dam and the con-
servation of water. 1t had since that
time been his desire to see the
Roosevelt dam and the Salt River
Valley. His winter sojourn at Chand-
Ter brings the realization of his de-
sire, and" he said, II have never in
my life spent a vacation more en-
joyed than this one in the Salt River
Valley"
The speaker then followed with a
gigantic description of the tenseness
of the war situation in the east, of
the great fuel and transportation
problems in the face Of the severest
winter in recent history
He told of a recent visit with Count
Tolstoi, the son of the great Russian
socialist writer. Tolstoi, and of the
Russians opinion of the Russia of
today, he having but recently come
from that country.
The secretary's report was inter-
esting. There are 122 members and
10000 rating cards on file. while
1850 acknowledgements have beer
taken. Attention was called to that
section of the report in which it was
stated that large aggregate amount
