FINANCIAL AFFAIRS
TO Be SETTLED NOW
Peace Conference Faces Adjust
meDt Of Economic Relations
MANY ABLE MEN SELECTED
Supreme Economic Council Is OF
Greatest Immediate Importance, As
Ii Handles Delicate AiTniSticc Mat
tCrS

Paris Feb. 15.---With the subject of
the league of nations now out of the
way for some time to come, the big
gest problem before the peace con-
ference at present is believed to be
the readjustment of the worlds finan-
cial and economic relations which
have been torn to pieces by more than
four years of war.
Three Different Organizations.
Three different organizations have
been created to deal with these sub
jects. The work of the su-
preme economic council is Of
the greatest immediate i'm
portance. 1t has been charged tenn
porarily, during the armistice period,
to handle only such pressing questions
as the disposition to be made of ship
ping; the abatement of the blockade
which has been holding back not only
the enemy's industry but that of neu-
trails; the distribution of raw mater
ials, and finally those financial ques-
tions that require instant attention.
This council includes some of the
ablest financial and business minds of
America and Europe.
To Apply Wilson'S Points
OF more permanent value is ex-
pected to be the work of the eco
nOmlc drafting commission and the
financial drafting commission. The
| economic drafting commission has
| dertaken to make practical applica-
ton of the third of President Wilson'S
IA points, namely that declaring for
! the removal as far as possible of all
| economic barriers and eSta blishm ent
! of equality of trade conditions among
all of the nations consenting to peace
| and associating themselves for its
| maintenance.
Right of Discriminate
The problem involves the rtght of
| nations to discriminate between
! friends and foes in their trade rela-
tions and the propriety Of continuing g
the many special treaties with their
| differential tariffs, which in the past
SO often have jeopardized the peace
full relations of states
The financial drafting commission
| will have to meet the insistent de-
mand of some of the European ma
tio1s for the pooling of the credits
and debts and resources of the ma
tions, a proposition which seems to be
| strongly resisted by the American
I representatives. #ttA
| This commission is also to obtain
| information as to the financial re-
sources, present and prospective, of
, the enemy countries, il order that the
| commission on reparation may COM
| plete its work.

RED|STR|CT COUNTY AND MAR|COPA NOW
 HAS NINE IN HOUSE

Under the initiated act adopted by the people at the last election provid- ing for representation in the lower house of the legislature by districts, in- stead of from the county at large, the board of supervisors yesterday ordered the districting of Maricopa county Under that act. passing representation on the popular vote, this county is en- titled to nine members in the lower house instead of six, the number it had under the old law.
 The city of Phoenix will have four of these members. Another will be- long to the suburban district north of the city, essentially a part of the city. The law does not allow supervisors much latitude for arranging the dis tricts with respect to party interests; that is, for gerrymandering for it pro- yides that the districts shall be made as 'compact as may be-"
 Under the districtng it is estimated that the republicans ought to carry six of the nine districts, even though the county itself may be slightly demo- cratic. It happens that in the three districts that are certainly democratic the democratic vote is heavy, while in the remaining districts there is prob ably in each of them at least slen- der republican majority.
 Following are the districts created yesterday:
 Legislative district No. 1: Phoep,x precincts Nos. l, ?, 5, 6, 13 and IA vo- ters, 1,587.
 Legislative district No. 2: Phoenix precincts Nos. [, 15, 16, 20, 21 and 25; voters, 1859.

REMOVE RECORDSOF ADJUTANT GENERAL $
 OFFICE TO CAPITOL

Two new moves were made yester- day in the adjutant general imbroglio. One was the removal of the books, papers, accounts and everything be- longing to the office, under the deci- sion of Judge Ryan, from Colonel Harris private adjutant generals of- flee to that of Captain Ingalls, in the capitol building. An order of the court was presented to Miss Minnie Seaman, Colonel Harris clerk, but s'e declined to receive it and the gocaI were nevertheless taken out to the waiting state trucks. to be conveyed 10 the office of the adjutant general.
 A motion to dissolve the injunction was threatened on the ground that service had not been secured on Colonel Harris. But by that time the trans portatitn of the paraphernalia of the office haG been completed.
 Later q motion was filed for disso- lution on the ground that Governor Campbell had not given bond and that will probably be heard today.
 This matter came Up in court at the time of Judge Ryan's decision and was discussed. Judge Lyman, acting for the governor, said then that in no proceeding against or in behalf of a state official had a bond ever been re- quired in this state. He said though that the fixing of bond would not be resisted. But nothing more was done about if at that time so that it was not q matter of oversight. Judge Ryan said yesterday that if bond was re- quired it would be forthcoming.

TURKEYS MAY SAVE
 BOYS FR0M PRISON

Eight turkeys may save Ed Krell. Henry Calhoun and Gene Hedegpeth from the penitentiary. They are 21, 20 and r years old, respectively.
 The trio. charged by J. A. Woods with the theft of 23 turkeys from his ranch on the south side on the night of october 4. has confessed to the theft of IA, but as their attorney, B. E.. Marks, pointed out at their arraign- ment before Judge Wheeler yesterday afternoon, unless the theft of 23 tur- keys can be proved against the boys. a misdemeanor and not a felony has been committed.
 Seventy-two pounds of turkeys were sold to the American Kitchen for 30 cents a pound, the boys say, and the theft of at least $50 worth of property must be proved against them to give grounds for a felony charge.
 Krell is also involved in another lar ceny charge, along with Bailey Dick,

 Sincerely yours, "A. LINXWILER."
 Following is the open letter from Colonel Linxwiler to the boys of the old 158th:
 ITO the Officers and Enlisted Men of the 15Sth Infantry:
 T am in receipt of a letter from General Ingalls, extending to me a cor dial invitation to attend the first re- union of the old 15Sth infantry during the week of November 3. l appreciate this invitation far more than I can tell you in letter.
 During the short five weeks that I commanded the 15Sth infantry I came to know and admire the officers ana | CLlAotCu u1cu Ol lut Olu OuIlll- anu 1 have often thought since that time what shame it was, if the entire regi- ment was as good as the part of the old organization that I saw (and know it must have been), to deprive such a magnificent fighting unit of a chance to participate in battle. Dur ing my service in the front line area from July until the armistice was signed, I came in contact with the va rious units of nineteen divisions, and I never found in any regment a greater esprit de corps than I found in the 15Sth when I took command of it, and when you stop to consider how the or ganization had been built up and torr to pieces and made to serve in the rear area, when every officer and en- listed man felt that organization was qualified and should have occupied 2 position in the front line, the esprit k all the more remarkable.
 q wish again to thank you for youl kind invitation, and I sincerely hope and trust that these reunions will bC made an annual affair, for I will cer. tainly do my very best to attend tho next one.
 Sincerely yours,
 "A. LINXWILER."
