DAIRY MEN WOULD CHANGE LAWS THAT /.
 GOVERN INDUSTRY

The net result of the dairymen's meeting in Phoenix yesterday will be the recommendation to the legislature for changes in the state dairy laws that will take the teeth out of the law" according to Dairy Commissioner Barr.
 The meeting was held at the Water Users building. Among those present were E. F. Van Kirk and Winfield Hartranft president and secretary of the Maricopa County Dairymen's asso- citation; C. NJ. Paddock, representing the Mesa dairymen; George Peterson from Gilbert, and Henry Renaud of Phoenix.
 The meeting decided to "get togeth- err with the representatives of the creamery and ice cream interests, who held a meeting some time ago, and of fer a bill to the legislature, as a sub stitute for the present dairy law, that will make the following changes:
 To substitute for section three, which provides that the dairy commissioner shall make rules for the conduct of those engaged in the industry, and for the rules made under the authority Of this section, a new section specifying the rules to be followed, as a part of the law itself.
 To substitute some more rules, em- bodied in the proposed bill, for section four, which at present provides that violations of the rules promulgated by the dairy commissioner shall be a mis- demeanor.
 To change section seven so that violations of the law shall be one of- l fense. instead of the present provision l that each day of the violation shall be i a separate offense.
 To change section 20 to eliminate the minimum fine and the jail sentences for | violations.
 l The creamery men have already proposed an amendment to do away with section s, which provides for the payment for milk products on the 10th and 25th of each month; and the ice cream manufacturers are asking for a change in section 20 to reduce the but | terfat requirement in their business | from 14 to 10 per cent.

SENATE TAKES
 FIRST REAL STEP
 FUR GOOD ROADS
Bill For Appointment Of State Highway Roads And
 Highway Commission, Is Passed By Upper House

Good roads legislation was set in motion yesterday in the senate by the passage late in the afternon of Senate Bill 17, similar to the Eddy bill in the house, for the appointment of a state highway board and a highway com mission. The Eddy bill which provides for a bond issue of S30,0O0.OO0 has been called up every day in the house for the. last three weeks, but the con- sidoration of it has been deferred for one day. pending. as it is learned, the senatCs disposition of it's bill
 The senate bill creates a state high way board consisting of the governor tho secretary of state, the attorney general. the state auditor and the state treasurer. The board shall appoint a highway commission of three mem bers who shall have charge of all road construction under a state highway engineer to be appointed by it. and the expenditure of all money for road construction.
 This. with other measures, has for some time engaged the attention of tho democratic caucus of the senate. Some of the members favored an all formative plan for the constitution of a highway board. It would consist of the governor, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house. Democratic objection to the usual manner of appointing commissions was that too much was involved to be put into the hands of any one.
 May Urge Alternative Plan
 Only a bare quorum of the senate was present when the vote was taken on the bill and only two of the re- publican members, Messrs. Green and Buehman. The members divided on party lines. It is understood that an effort will be made in the house tC substitute the alternative plan.
 There is a serious accretion of i'm portant measures in both houses and it is generally understood that no more new bills, unless of the mos' important character to be introduced late. will have much chance of en- actment. The time of both houses ir the little more than three weeks re- maining will be devoted to the dis. position of the business now on hand
 The general appropriation bill is now well under way. The joint committed of the house and senate have beer collaborating. so that it is believed tha the bill will be quickly disposed of 1T both houses soon after it is presented tt is positively stated that there vii be no eleventh hour disposition of it

the vote as the prospect of securing the additional three votes was regarded as too remote. Nor was the motion made for a reconsideration of the vote by which the miners hospital and home bill had been defeated or had failed of securing the required IS votes. Not only had Mr. Jennings, who was expected to vote for it, not yet re- turned. but another supporter was ab sent. But with all the known support of the boil present, there was still one more voice to be gained.
 The house passed the bill permitting the holding of terms of the superior court of Pima county at Ajo.
 Arizona Was Loyal
 Communications of a varied char acter were received at the opening of the morning session. One from Su- perintendent George Shea of the Pio- neers Home suggested that as the Of ficial name of the institution. It has always been the popular name. A com munication was received from Mrs. Clara Myers, head of the Arizona Pho toplay company, protesting against an assertion made in the house during the consideration of the senate reso1u-
Arizona republican., 1919-02-16

The committee to which the bill had been referred. revamping the law ere ating the board of pardons and paroles returned a favorable report. The sen ate bill amending the law with refer ence to superior court fees was passed by the senate and also the house bill providing for the re-recording of live stock brands. This bill was slightly amended and returned to the house.
 Three New Bills in Senate
 Three new bills were brought into the senate. One of them by MT. Claridge amends the law relating to in- heritance taxes. It changes the law only by a provision for the selection of an agent to inquire into the sources of property outside the state of persons subject to the tax. Two bills were in troduced by President Johns. One of them amends the law relating to the exemptions of volunteer firemen, and the other slightly alters the manner of handling city funds.
 The house, rather contrary to ex- pectations, defeated the Hayward islander bill yesterday by a tie vote of 15 to 15. No announcement was made of a motion for the reconsideration of
Arizona republican., 1919-02-16

The amendment was not vigorously opposed by the friends of the bill. but it was suggested that it was unneces- sary. that the courts would hold by implication that the law did not apply to that kind of work. The amendment was not strongly pushed, and failed, after which the bill was recommended, with little opposition for passage.
 Debate on Reform School
 A considerable part of the morning session of the house was given to a de- bate on the Hughes bill for the estab- lishment of a juvenile home for iNcor- rigible children under the age of IA. The argument in favor of the bill was that a child of that age could not be regarded as a criminal, so that when he is sent to the reform school he is thrown into association. either with youthful, actual criminals or those criminally inclined.
 The debate by easy stages fell into an attack upon, and a defense of the conduct of the reform school for some years past. In the afternoon the sub ject was taken up again in the com mittee of the whole and it was recom- mended that the bill do pass.
Arizona republican., 1919-02-16

defeated by a single vote.
 An abbreviated edition of the Kinney bill of the first state legislature, which was the storm center of legislation and later of litigation in all of the courts received the approval of the house yes terday afternoon, sitting as com mittee of the whole. It was the Waters bill prohibiting the employment in hazardous occupations of persons who cannot speak or understand the Eng fish language, and deaf and dumb per- sons. The Kinney bill, it is true, aimed only at aliens.
 That was a recognized labor meas ure. MT. Waters in discussing his bill yesterday referred to it only as an Americanization measure, and it was as such that all its advocates upheld it. That rather stopped opposition. An attempt was made to amend it so that it's provisions would not apply to the digging of wells and cisterns as we'll as excavations for the founda- tions of buildings, all of which might have come under the head of open euts," employment in which was de- scribed as hazardous.

VETERAN IN FIELD
Sold 100000 Dodge Brothers
Cars Here in Less Than
Three Years.

The New York dealers automobile
show this year will go down as the
most important and popular one in the
annals of the industry's history. The
distributors along the Row have at last
realized that although the New York
event in goodly numbers. there has been
something lacking-a something no one
until recently has been able to clearly
define or understand. namely. the in
show as his own or accord to the en-
ergy OF Local brains.
This, although a purely psychological
aspect, has been one OF the determining
factors In the dealers decision to mold
the show themselves. Many Of the
dealers have now reached the point
financially and commercially. where they
feel that they should control the events
in the local automobile world.
The Colt-Stratton Company, for In
stance. is one of the oldest automobile
dealers in this city. The company was
organized in 1909, and started with the
Garford truck and the Cole motor car
with showrooms In broadway and Sixty
eighth street and service quarters II
West End avenue.
Strict adherence to the policy OF sellint
good motor vehicles and treating Gus
toners In a frank, businesslike way has
given the company steady and he lthy
growth. In 1912 they were handling the
Cole motor car exclusively with a larger
salesroom at Fifty-eighth street ant
Broadway and service station at s;
West End avenue.
Nineteen hundred and fourteen was q

called for an immediate enlargement o

amining the buildings available at tina

time the one at Fifty seventh street and
Broadway was selected.
Tho year 1915 saw this company
thoroughly established In the eyes and
hearts OF New Workers.. Many storms
along the rough path OF progress had
been weathered and the business again
demanded an increase in faci tiles Five
floors were leased in tho new building at
109 West Sixty-fourth street for the gen.
eral Offices and service station, while
the building at 18<7 Broadway was
taken over for the showroom.
Dodge Brothers in the summer OF 1917
passed another milestone In their history.
In less than three years they had placed
approximately two hundred thousand
motor cars in the hands OF owners. The
most impressive part of this record
breaking sales growth was the remark
able spirit OF friendliness that existed
for Dodge Brothers motor cars In Amer
lean homes.
Naturally this friendship gave Dodge
Brothers the inspiration and encourage
ment needed to manufacture their cars
in even greater number. and realizing
the vast possibilities of this friendly pub
lie opinion toward Dodge Brothers and
their products the Colt-Stratton Com
pany decided not to represent other pas
sengcr cars but concentrate the entire
efforts OF their organization on promot-
ing the gales OF Dodge Brothers motor
cars.
This company has taken part in many
new enterprises affecting the general
welfare OF the automobile Industry
During the war. for instance when the
subject of rural motor express was up
permost in the minds Of the Government
officials who were trying to solve the
transportation problem this company
volunteered to establish a route from
Stamford. Conn, to New York, which
| definitely proved to the many people
| watching this venture that the subject
OF rural motor express was not only
| feasible but practicable as we'll.
