Early in the afternoon session it was brought up again and to the surprise of the galleries the committee of the whole senate rec !mmeEded that it pass without de- ta:e or dissenting vote

 TOTAL iN NEAR EAST DRIVE

BISBEE. Feb. ls.-With a subscrip- ton of about s27.O0o. one-ffth of the total amount assigned to be raised in the state, Cochise county has ra.- lied to the call in another war drive. that for relief in the near east, and has again raised its quota. Final figures. as compiled yesterday al the close of the campaign, were made rubhc las eveniny by T. c. McGrath county chairman.
 The Warrent District and Douglas we're heaviest contributors 10 the drive. each community raising about sl2.o0O for the fund Naco. with near ly $500; Tombstone, Pearce. Wilcox and other towns with sums ranging srom sl40 to sI ,0G0 make up the re- msinder of the total Fiaal and com plete figures are expected at the close of this week The Wsrren district subscription will not be complete un- til full returns are recei ,ed from the mines
 Too much credit carrot be given to the residents of the co lnty for the manner in which they rallied 10 this call" declared M- McGra h last even. ing in issuing his statement Tn a time of depression il is always hard a driye of this character Bu: the manner in which Cochise county resi- dents have come 10 the front is re markabie, and they deserve every credit for their generosity.
 Tn the same manner, grea, credi, is due the workers and team cap ;a:ns for the manner in which they have conducted their drive in each community. They were faced with overwhelming odds in opeI ing their drive. They had large territory 10 cover in a short time, and workers were not as numerous as in past campaigns. They have accomplished a wonderful work in brief per;od, and for i; they deserve the conner daiion of each community"

HOUSE REPORTS GRAZING
 LEASE BILL FAvoRAsLY

PHOENlX. Feb. l7.-Information on the proposed grazing lease amend ments came from two sources in the house late today and resulted in a rapid fire of cross-questions with two outsiders occupying the center Of the stage.
 The frs; person to come before the committee Of the whole was Land Commissioner Moeur: the second was J C. Wooley. landholder in the Salt River valley. who presented the case as seen. he said. by the homesteader and small land owner.
 The committee of the whole recom- mended that the bill pass.
 The bill under discussion proposes 10 allow grazing leases for twenty yeans. renewals being provided for in a special preference clause. while it also would repeal that portion of the law as il stands al present. allowing only Gi0 acres of grazing land to one person

Strongly Criticized

These TWO main features of the measure came in for strong criticism on the part Of. Wooley Long leases, he sad, meant the elimination of the homes,eader and small owner while ia his opinion, releasing under the special clause was aggravating the trouble.
 Wooley asesrtei that while the present law was aimed at keeping out dummy grazing lease holders. it hai worked exactly the other way. with the result that the large cattle own. e7s were securing the state for men in whose names they might add 10 their already large range holdings.
 When asked by Representative Phil lips if he had any alternative prop osition to make. Wooley said that he had drafted none. but that he had Q come for the sole purpose of point. ing out what he considered the un. jus; features of the bill as il had been drafted.

Many Question Asked

When CSnmission Moeur took his place on the speakers platform after The opening of the afternoon session he answered a long series of Ques- tioas from Phillips, Lines. Mrs. Nc Kay and others, the summary of his replies being: He emphatically ap- proved of he bill as presented 10 the house When Arizona became a state the federal government had set apar, s,o5I,6o0 acres for school grants, with a total grant for schools and other state institutions of IO.453.72O acres. Practically no state lands were talk. en up with homesteads, the state law providing for sale or lease. The char. ac'er Of the lands at the disposal of the state made them better adapted to grazing than 10 any other purpose
 On the subject of the limitation of eR acres 10 one grazing lease. Com missioner Mouer said that it was un- satisfactory and impossible to oper. ate with such limit. The best of the grazing land, he said, would not take care Of more than from 20 to 25 head Of cattle per section, or as the stock men put it thirty acres to a cow"
 Opposed to Sale
 Referring 10 federal restrictions in answer 10 the proposal that the state limit the number of cattle allowed to graze on one section, Moeur stated tkat there could be no satisfactory federal control till congress 1egislat- ed to administer the affairs of the public domain At present the only federal regulations are those promui- gated by forestry officials and the forest reserves contain not more than one third of the federal lands in Ari- zona
 The commissioner was decidedly opposed to the sale of state lands. preferring g system of long leases.
 In answer to a question as to the growth of his department, Moeur said that when he took office in July, 1915 there was barely an office force and practically no revenue from land grants, while the office was handi- capped by lack of legislation giving it power 60 act. During the past two years there had been a million dol lars in revenue from the lands. which had been turned over to the state treasurer and was available for loans to the farmers.

WHAT DISCHARGED SOLDIES
WILL RECEIVE AT DISCHARGE

There has been much apparent un-
certainty among the people at large
as to what is to be done by the gov
eminent for soldiers discharged from
service. To clear up any misunder-
standing the following definite state
ments were photographed to the State
Council of National Defense at Wash
ington:
Each discharged soldier will be
given one months pay
Each will be given an allowance of
tire and one-haH cepts a mile from
the point of Decentralization to his
home town.
Each will be enabled to buy a rail-
road ticket FROM point of demObOliza-
ton to his home town by the most di-
rect route at cost of two cents a
mile.
The decentralization of each unit
will occur at the army camp nearest
the home section of majority of the
men of the unit.
This information is official and
families of soldiers should be guided
by it in arranging to look after re-
turning men.-Exchange
In conversation with a number of
the returning soldiers they informed
US that Their pay was just allowed to
day of discharge and they are also or
dered to send in their uniforms after
three months.

SAVE BY BUYING

The army must be demobolized but
don't demobolize your patriotism
This is no time to stop saving The
government still needs money and
! it depends on the little savers" as
we'll as the large investors.
Saving is as essential in peace
time as in wartime, and the time to
buy 1919 War Saving Stamps is now.
The percentage of big bondholdeN
may be few, but 100000 patriots
can buy War Saving Stamps and get
the thrift habit at the safe time
Most Americans should have acquir-
ed the thrift habit in 1918, but il is
not too late yet.
Thrift means national strength 1t
is insurance against future want
There is no better way of practie-
ing thrift than by the purchase of
War Savings securItias, and none
safer.
The proceeds of economy invested
in w. S. s. yield 4 percent interest,
compounded quarterly. You get the
cash In 1924.
Save for tomorrow by buying now.
