MAJORITY HAS RIGHT. SAYS ATTY. GEN., ID
 CALL BOARD MEETING

That the majority members of the state land department have a right to call a meeting in the absence of the Wiley E. Jones, attorney general, in an opinion requested by Governor Thomas E. Campbell.
 During the absence of the governor recently a meeting of the board was held, at which time members granted e-leases to oil prospectors in the Hol- brook district On his return, the gov ernor questioned the right of the meet ing, mainly on the ground that the members of the board had not called for the files from his office. which he held gave evidence that obnoxious speculation" was being carried on in the district. He held that those hold ing leases were subdiyiding the prop erty and releasing at large profit.
 The opinion furnished the chief eX- ecutive by MT. Jones yesterday fol- lows:
 Hon. Thomas F. Campbell, Govern or of Arizona: Following our discus sion at the last meeting of the state land department, regarding a majority of the members calling a meeting of the. department, shortly thereafter on May 25, received your inquiry there on. and in reply would state that the public land code. creating the state land department, designateS the gov ernor as ex-officio chairman thereof. and of course the presiding officer at all meetings at which he is present. The act provides for semi monthly meetings to be held. without designat- ing the time thereof. and is silent upon the question of special or called meet ings of the department.
 'The custom has been for the ma jority of the members, or at least two thereof, to request a special meeting, and it has been the practice of the governor to issue the notice of such meeting. Neither the place nor the time of special meetings having been fixed. nor the method of calling such meetings having been provided for l think the usual rule that a majority Of the members can call the meeting is legal and proper. though courtesy would suggest that the members de- string such meeting should request the governor. if he is in the city, to call the same.
 However. notwithstanding the gen eral rule above mentioned the matter graph 5552 of the revised statutes of Arizona, 1913 which reads as follows:
 All words purporting to give a joint authority to three or more public officers or other persons shall be con strued as giving such authority to a majority of such officers or other per sons. unless it shall be otherwise eX- pressly declared in the law giving tbe authority
 'Tn discussing with other members of the board this subject. and the mat ter of the meeting held on May % dur ing your absence. you may be assured that no thought of discourtesv toward the governor was entertained bv either of the members present at the said meeting. and I am sure that such was not in the minds of any of them at any time.
 "Very respectfully yours

PRICE -SkASHING IN
 MANY LINES IN EAST;
 PROF|TEERING, TOO

C. E. Adams returned yesterday morning from an eastern pilgrimage embracing principally the cities of Chi cago, Cleveland and New York His business was an investigation of Che automobile industry with special ref erence to the Jordan car Generally. trade conditions fell under his obsery- ant eye. He found that price clashing in many lines, more particularly in the dry goods trade, was going on more furiousIy than ever and that the people in taking advantage of the new prices were in a continual riot.
 Wanamaker's and Macy's are setting the pace. He found at both places. for instance, sales of silk shirts at $5.T5, such shirts as other stores in New Y ork were trying to get $12 for. There was a jam in both stores. people as saulting the counters in rows three or four deep.
 But the hotels are still profiteering; that is, all the better class Of hotels, which are already crowded. At the Pennsylvania the room clerk told Mir. Adams that there were two vacant rooms at $7. MT. Adams replied that he had not come to New York to go into the hotel business; that his affairs in Arizona were in such a shape that he could not give his personal attentions to the management of the Pennsyl- vania. This gentle sarcasm slid off the room clerk like water from a ducks back.
 Neither is the dining car service slashing prices Bacon and eggs, country style" S1.15. Mr. Adams was afraid to ask what the price was for the more refined ''city style"
 He heard rumors of one cheering situation in the East. All New York was talking about it. Ii was that the state of Pennsylvania was dotted with paradises. more properly oases, where the weAy foot may still find rest on the brass rail, the while it's owner sur veys the ceiling through the bottom of a glass as of yore; where one may still nominate his favorite beverage to be consumed on the spot or have it sent to his home by the pint or the barrel; where Three Star Hennessey has not yet become a mere tradition.

MISS LOREN HEWES. WEDS ON THURSDAY IN. WEALTH IF FLOWERS

One of the most attractively ap- pointed weddings of the spring took place at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Miss Loreen Marian Hewes, daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. P. Hewes, became the bride of Joe H. Smith.
 The event took place at the North Avenue home of MT. and Mrs. w. C. Foster, with whom their niece made her home for two years until the ar rival last fall of her parents from South Dakota. The decorative scheme was unusually effective. One corner of the large living room formed an ar tistic setting for the bridal party, with it's wealth of ferns and palms. The potted plants were everywhere and the solid greenery background accentuated the snowy whiteness of the wedding bell of carnations and rose buds. The mantel was banked with oleanders, and a touch of pink was expressed in the gladiolas which filled the wall vases The broad doorway leading to the din- ing room was garlanded in ferns, while ferns had a place in the table decora- tions of Cecil BrUner roses combined with Baby Breath. The centerpiece was large crystal basket of flowers, while four smaller baskets were. at the four corners of the table.
 The bride, who is an unusually pretty girl, looked charming in fetch ing frock of Chantilly lace and taffeta, Sne CdEIitu d SIlOWef bouquet O1 Brides rosebuds and lilies of the valley.
 Miss Elizabeth Thomas, the maid of honor and only attendant, wore a be- coming gown of pink georgette and carried an arm bouquet of pink roses.
 Stanley Smith of Los Angeles served as his brothers best man. The service was read by Dean Scarlett of the Trinity pro cathedral the guests being limited to the relatives and a few close friends.
 MT. and Mrs smith will pass their honeymoon at the Grand Canyon and on their return in fortnight will be at home al 906 East Brill street
 Miss Smith is one of the best known and liked members of the younger set. She has much charm of manner and is unusually clever and talented, being a musician of ability
 Mir. Smith is also well liked. He is connected with the Southwest Cotton company as head of it's accounting department.

of the several states where such prof ects would be feasible.
 Under this bill the secretary of the interior could cooperate with either federal or state officials
 It provides that veterans can be em- ployed and their service be utilized in administrative and field work. and "at the earliest practicable date each sol dier so employed upon a project shall be allowed to select and shall be all lowed. as hereinafter in this title pro vided, farm unit upon which he may construct a dwelling and make other improvements"
 The sum of $500, 900 900 is appro- priated under the act, $50-0OO.00O of this to be expended each fiscal year. In summing up what we should strive for in legislation it might be said first the districting features: the fin 'ancing Of service men who are put on at least part of the lands reclaimed; {; not using monies appropriated for pur- chase of land; and the cooperation between the states and the federal government in development-
 The campaign to get recognition by political conventions of the reclama- ton idea has been widely carried on. Tn a number of the states this recogni- tion has been given in about the fol- lowing manner:
 We recognize in the development of reclamation through Federal action, with it's increase of production and taxable wealth, safeguard for the na- 'tion. We commend to congress a policy of loaning public funds to reclaim land and the establishment of a fixed na- tional policy of conversation of na- tionaI resources in its relation to recla- nation through the new designated government agencies
 In the national platforms it is con ceived as a necessity for the carrying out of our program that something along the following line be adopted: We favor q fixed and comprehen- sive federal policy of reclamation to increase national wealth and produc tion."
