ASKS COURT ID HALT
 ELECTION 0F STATE
 TAX COMMISSIONER

Bringing an interlocutory injunc- tion proceeding against Sidney P. Os- born, secretary of state, Andrew Bau- inert, Jr., secretary of the republican state central committee, is attempting 10 restrain the secretary of state from performing any official acts connected with and incidental to the election of a state tax commissioner at the primary or general elections this fall. Judge Lyman has issued an order commanding the secretary of state to appear in court on Mon day at 9:30 o'clock to show cause why the injunction should not be issued.
 The plaintiff holds that no election of voters properly may be held for the purpose of electing a member of the state tax commission until the general election of 1920, as no va cancy will occur until that time.
 If this should hold, Rudolph Kuch- Ter, appointed on the commission in 1917 by Thomas E. Campbell, de facto governor, will remain in office. Camp bell, who was a member of the com- mission, was elected to that office in November, 1914, and when he took over the duties of governor he named Kuchler as his successor.
 At the time he was elected, c. M. Zander also was chosen by the peo- pie, and in 1916 Charles R. Howe was elected as third member, entering upon a six-year term in January, 1917. The contention is that the first term of office of any of the members does not expire until 1921 and that ,o o,th fo act with respect to the office of state tax commissioner.
 Claiming that he has been informed and believes that the secretary of state will follow the procedure such election were in order, the plaintiff prays for an injunction. In the com plaint, filed by Will E. Ryan and Kibbey, Bennett and Curtis, he asks that the secretary be restrained from causing a notice to be transmitted tc the board of supervisors from any county which shall include therein the office of tax commissioner as one o1 the offices to be acted upon in the primaries.
 He asks that the secretary be re- | strained from filing a petition of any person who may offer his petition fol | the purpose of having the name O. such person placed on the ballot as { candidate for the position of stat' tax commissioner.
 l The plaintiff further asks that thu secretary of state be restrained iron doing any act which will tend to th' end of having any candidate for stat' tax commissioner appear on the bal lot at the primary or general election | from taking any action toward can wasting any votes which may appear upon the. ballots for such commis sioner at the primary or general cleo tion; and from announcing the re- suit of either election as far as an, vote for state tax commissioner i: concerned and from issuing a certifi cate of election to state tax com missioner.
 The plaintiff claims that the actiol
 is instituted for the purpose of pro
 tecting the rights of the voters an'
 "are matters as to which it woult
 be futile and of no avail to the plain tiff to request the attorney genera
 to institute suit upon cause o
 action"
 On behalf of Senator William | | Claypool of Gila county, Attorney J. C
 Wanslee will this morning file mo | tion to intervene.

HOPES ID INCREASE
 MEMBERSHIP ID 200

CHANDLER, June 20.-The Chan dler chamber of commerce held a meeting recently and decided to enter upon campaign for members where by the present membership may be enlarged to 200. The local chamber of commerce. like most other organi- zations, has had its times of prosper ity and diversity, or rather of energy and slackness, but through it all the Chandler institution has been levened with the quiet determination of a lot of men who have realized that in these days a town without a commer- cial organization is a town unready to handle the opportunities which are apt to present themselves at almost any time.
 Chandler has grown wonderfully within the past two years and no lit tie of this growth is due to the public spirit of it's citizens and particularly the business men who have been ready with their money and their energy to get behind every good move. These men and the hundreds of other live progressive townspeople and ranchers are believed to be splendid material to weld into a strong pro- gressive chamber of commerce and the attempt will be made within the near future. The president of the chamber is P. M. James of the Chand- Ter bank and the secretary, J. E. Taylor, of the same institution.

Maryland State Comptroller
Serves Without Pay in
DiIution Work,

Hugh A. McMullen, state COMP
troller Of Maryland. is one Of the
latest additions to the ranks of men
who are serving the nation without
compensation. He has just taken up
the dilution work Of the training
and dilution service, department of
labor, under Director Charles T.
Clayton, in order that he may back
up as effectively as possible his two
SONS who are serving in France.
His only question, when he was
asked to undertake the work, was in
regard to it's real Importance. When
he discovered it's vital importance, he
consented at once to undertake the
work, in addition to his duties in
Maryland.
Mr.. McMullen, the son Of poor
Irish immigrants. was born in small
snack on the edge Of a coal dump,
and went to work as a miner while
he was a child. AS soon as he had
accumulated a little money. he
opened a store in the small mining
town, and when he had won sue
cess there started his career as a.
city merchant. Eventually he became
interested in banking, manufacturing
and railroading, and finally entered
politics.
He has just taken UP the dilution
work. and one of his first steps will
be an investigation to determine Just

Eagerly Cooperate in Natura|l-
! zation Work, Once Need
/ Is Felt.

School principals. even though
they may feel at first that they can
not possibly arrange citizenship
classes to prepare aliens for becom-
ing Americans, have on many occas-
ions completely changed their views
when they have come to a full reali-
zation of the Importance Of the work
and the necessity that the schools
shall undertake it. When the problem
has been grasped, they leave moth
ing undone to solve it.
One educational official recently
wrote to Raymond F. Crist, deputy
commissioner Of naturalization, to the
effect. that it would be impossible to
establish citizenship classes in his
city because money and teachers
could not possibly be obtained. AS
soon as he had grasped the idea,
however, that the public schools have
a real obligation to the alien and can
develop his capacities just as they
develop the capacities of native-bor
children, he became enthusiastic over
the project and found in short order
that he could get not only the teach
ers but all the equipment he needed.
Many teachers have never had expe-
rience in teaching adults and COM
paratively few are familiar with for
eign tongues, but the eagerness of the
foreigner to learn solves many prob
lens in itself. More schools than
ever are this year conducting cit
lzenship classes, and the number of
foreigners taught will be much larger
than ever before.

LAB0RS DEMANDS TO HELP in DEMOCRA TIzNCC STATE
MONEYS COMMENT

r SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-
Thomas j. Mooney, confined in a
cell, issued a statement ON
the exposure of the methods
employed in his conviction, which
have just been made public by Dr.
rector General Densmore of the
United States employment service.
'The Densmore disclosure speaks
Tor itself. just think what a SIM
liar investigation would have dis
closed If it was inaugurated in the
early stages of the frame-up," he
said.
Ihese corrupt forces cover the
state of California and labor con
expect no justice from these finan.
cial bandits operating under the
su1se of Officialdom unless the fed-
eral government strips them of
every vestige of authority and
power.
'"The United States government
should take complete control OF the
prosecution of the individuals ex.
posed by Mr.. Densmore under the
espionage act and that section of
the United States constitution
which makes it a felony to deprive
any citizen of his rights without
due process of law.
Ih1s astounding disclosure more
than justifies the charges. we have
so repeatedly made for the mast
lew years that we were the victims
OF a chamber OF commerce con-
spiracy."
