and millions Of invested capital, ap-
pealcd for square deal from the
American public in rehabiitating the

day at the closing sessions of the
annual convention here.
The resolution declared that existing
conditions have so impaired the credit
Of the industry that new capital to the
amount of more than s20O,OO0OOO a
year, which is "absolutely essential to
the extension and improvement of
service to meet the requirements of the
public, is no longer to be obtained"

in all cases the impairment, and in
many the abandonment. of a service
essential to communit growth and
Improvement" il set forth

agencies as will insure the collection
and distribution Of accurate informa-
ton. and protect the pub ic and the

Information, to the end that the ncces-

cent fare is ample where efficiency pre-
walls, declared in a message to the
convention that demagogues and an
unfair press are the most dangerous
foes of the railway industry. He said ::
We never will get the goodwill of
the public until in some way we over
come that sense of discrimination on
the part Of the passenger who resents
paving as much for a short ride as a
fellow rider for long one"

Ordination Canons Debated

The House of Bishops debated changes
In the canons of ordination. 1t IS pre-
dictted that radical changes viii be
made looking to an increase in the
ministry. Bishop Brent said that
frequently men without the necessary
professional attainments but desirable
for the priesthood from every other
standpoint had come to him seeking
admission to the ministry.
The most radical proposal OF the
new canons is to permit the ordination
of men in secular occupations to a 90

the Diocese of Long Island, recognition
was given by the House of Deputies to

effort was made to resclnd this action,
fearing that the recognition might in
terfere with the plans Of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Church. Drs. Manning
and Stires, of New York, came to the
rescue of the organization, DR.. Stires
representing both the Women's AuNil-
iary and the Patriotic League. The in

REGISTERING
 BRANDS b|G JOb

With the work of re-recording the 20, 900 cattle brands in Arizona hardly started" the appropriation of $4,350 made by the legislature for that pur pose is almost exhausted, according to Ed W. Stephens, secretary of the live stock sanitary board.
 Already more than 5000 applications for re-recording have been received. Some of these brands have been trans ferred eight and ten times, and only through a long and tedious correspond ence are the brands cleared up and their proper ownership ascertained.
 In the work of re-recording the many cattle brands in this state many have been found on which the tax has not been paid. Many hundreds of dollars have been collected. in this manner. Many applications for re-recording are received with bills of sale attached. As the livestock sanitary board received s1 for recording a bill of sale, it is esti- mated by Secretary Stephens that if the board is given authority to use this money and the money collected through back brand taxes there will be suffi- cient to complete the work of re-re- cording al the brands.

CRUSH AT OPENING DAY
 IF HIGH SCHOOL
Eleven Hundred And Fifty Are Present Yesterday Over-Crowded Condition Is Cause Of Much Con- cern.

With 1,150 students present the Phoenix Union high school yesterday morning opened to the greatest year Tn it's history. For once, the auditorium was not sufficient to accommodate the entire school body, for with every seat on the main floor and balcony filled, there were about 100 standing at the assembly at o'clock.
 Although a large increase in atten- dance at high school had been antici- pated, the officials and teachers were not prepared for such an overflow as presented itself On the opening day of high school last year there was an attendance of about 800, it was stated. The great gain in high school atten dance is indicative of the correspond ing increase in population. It is ex pected that the total attendance in two weeks will reach 1.250 or 1900.
 Normal Capacity 75o.
 The normal capacity of the high school is 750, A. A. Belts, president of the board of trustees, said yesterday and stated that they were unable to say what would be done to care for this capacity.
 Tt may be necessary to arrange an alternate day plan" MT. Betts said.
 Freshmen registered yesterday, there being 400 on the roll at the close. Soph- mores and juniors will register today and seniors on Wednesday. There were about 250 freshmen registered on the first day last year, the gain this year being more than 50 per cent.
 Outlines Years Work.
 The high school assembly was greeted by Principal Jantzen, who made short talk, cutting the work for the year. He was followed by A. A. Betts, president of the board of trus- tees, in a brief address.
 John Creighton, member of the class of 1912 of the Phoenix high school who was a chaplain and served over seas, talked to the students of their great opportunity. He compared the meager equipment of the high school when he was a student with the mag nificent plant at their disposal at pres ent.
 A talk on military training was made by Captain c. D. Jones, who is in charge of that department for the high school.
 Vocal solos were given by Miss Bessie Barkley of the English depart ment of the faculty and by Miss Ida Mae Coke.

DRY LANDS" ID GET
 WATER OCTOBER 1

The decision 10 extend full water rights to 900 acres of dry" or tenn porary land in the Salt River valley for the year beginning October was reached yesterday morning by the board of governors of the association.
 These 16,000 acres include lands which were left off the farm units plots by the survey board when permanent water rights in the reservoir were al- iotted, but to increase food production during the war they have been given temporary water service.
 The present excellent condition of the reservoir, standing at an elevation Of IFS feet. had a great deal to do with rhe decision reached by the council, as it was computed that during the com ing irrigation year, there will be suf- ficient water to supply the permanent lands and the temporary lands as well

WATER USERS FAVOR STEAMPOWERP PLANT
 ID COST SG00,000

Plans for the installation by the wa ter users association of a s600oO0 steam power plant auxiliary to the Cross Cut plant near Tempe were pushed another step forward yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the council of the association, which approved the plan to bond the power receipts for a period not to exceed ten years and to ask the board of governors to call a general election of the share holders to secure authorization for the project
 As 30 days must elapse after ac- ton by the board of governors, Novem- Der 1 has been set as the earliest pos sible date Cn which this election can be held.
 The proposed plant will have a ca pacity of 5000 kilowatts, which will be used to supplement the 1000 kilowatts available during four months of the year when very little water passes through the canals.
 Present power COT tracts with big consumers like the Inspiration mine at Miami are made with the stipulation that no more than 1000 kilowatts will be generated during the months of slack irrigation. If the 5000 kilowatt steam auxiliary plant is installed, full rates for a 12 months maximum con- sumption of power can be charged, with a resulting saving to the associa- tion.
 Further action of the council at yes- terday's meeting consisted of approval of the plan to spend S75,000 a year ill the installation of pumping plants to drain the valley and removed the un- derground water menace.
 This plan, voted down through a mis- understanding at the election of share holders last spring, is assured of rati- fication by the board of governors at next Mondays meeting. and will no doubt he resubmitted to the share holders for a vote at the same time as the auxiliary steam power plant propo- sition.
