RUL|N CON VOLSTEAD ACT

Washington, Aug. 6.-Wm. D. Guth-
rie and Elihu Root, counsel for Chris
uan Feigenspan, brewer Of Newark,
y. j., today filed with the United
States supreme court a petition for a
reconsidera zion OF the courts decision
on June Z, sustaining the validity Of
the eighteenth amendment and parts
Of the Volstead enforcement act.

eighteenth amendment wes designed
to deal exclusively with Intoxicating
liquors. Mr.. Feigenspan in his origin
al suit sought to prove that beer of
2.75 per cent alcoholic content was
not intoxicating. The latest petition
pointed out the importance and magni-
tude Of the constitutional questions
involved and declared that so far as
the petitioner had been able to ascer-
tain, there is no record Of any i'm
portant modern case involving such
vital questions being disposed of by
court Of final resort without ex'

HARDIN 6 EXPLAINS RULE
.OF RESERVE BOARD FOR
ON COTTON STOCK

Washington, Aug 6.-The federal
reserve board has not advised mem
ber banks as to what loan they should
make against this years cotton crop,
Governor Harding declared today in
letter to the department of agri-
culture.
The letter was written IN answer to
reports reaching the department that
due to an existing financial strin-
gcncy, stocks of cotton We're being
forced on the market at sacrifices in
prices
Such action the department inti-
mated had been prompted through "a
ruling or other form of instruction
from the federal reserve board, which
limited loans on cotton to that only
which was in process Of shipment
In answer to this, Governor Hard
ing explained that congress had been
requested early in the year to amend
the existing statutes which originally
restricted loans to individuals by ma
tional banks in excess Of 10 per cent
Of the banks capital, and surplus
Congress acted upon the sugges-
tion of the board Governor Harding
wrote THE amended statute now
provides that a period Of SIX months
out of any consecutive IL months a
national bank may lend to an indi-
vidual, or corporation up to 20 per
cent of its capital and surplus where
the excess of 10 per cent is secured
by warehouse receipts

COL. THOMPSON TO ACT FOR
 CAMPBELL TO GREET OREGON

Phoenix-Owing to the inability of Governor Campbell to attend the in augural ceremonies at Mexico City, attending General Obregon's induction into the presidency, the governor has named Col. J. E. Thompson of Phpe- nix as his personal representative
 The latter has arranged for spec'al car, which will be made a part of the special train bearing citizens from al parts of the state to the national cap ital for the grand ceremonies
 The Arizona Tarty will carry with them special message from Govern or Campbell to president Obregon, and copies of this will be made a part of a souvenir edition of the Arizona magazine, now being prepared. The greeting will read as follows:
 "To General Alvaro Obregon,
 President of the Republic of Mex ico and to the Mexican people,
 Tt is with special pleasure that send my official personal greetings and congratulations to the distin- guished statesman and soldier who has been chosen as the head of the Mexican republic and as leader of its people in their progress toward com plete peace, development and pros. ?erity.,
 q have been impressed by the clear sincerity and fervent patriot ism of General Obregon. I am con- fident of his great ability and of his stern integrity of purpose. Tn know that he will surround himself with officers. of high ideals and of devotion of such as his own to the welfare Nf been torn them by years of devasting warfare.
 From this day onward, wonderful progress may be expected within your land, upon which nature has bestowed such rich bounty of soil and climate, of rare and valuable pro- ducts, and of mineral wealth. Back of these. henceforth, will be the bull wark Of strong government, eager for the advancement of it's people.
 From the people, in turn, I feel sure there will come the fullest sup. port of the strong and courageous mn who are taking up the heavy task of Mexcan admins stration. From a peo- pie united can be expected great achievements.
 This message of good will goes at the hands of large deputation of Arizona citizens of high standing. 1 ask that they be considered ambas sadors of this state, carrying to Mexi- co all assurances of our fervent wish that the flags of the two eagles hence forth will be joined in evidence of the trorherhood of the two republics.

SAVER MAKES ADDRESS
 BEFORE SThTE BANKERS
(Continued From Page One)

ly to those in our own locality In this age and this great state with it's diversity of industries and climate, is it not possible that at certain times of the year, bankers in one section might be of more assistance to those in an other than we have been in the past; tabl.shing closer intimacy and friendship and thereby find profitable investment for loanabe funds in our own state for it's good and she wei fare of it's citizens?
 Tt has been said that it is not wrong to build castles in the air f we only devote our energies in every day life to make them real and substanti al This wonderful state of ours with it's magnificent mountain ranges in which are stored many riches, it's beautiful valleys so fertile once there is water assured to them, offers great possibilities.
 Just as the mounta ins have been compelled to give up their riches, so will the valleys be required to releasey from their richness, food for the sus-l tenance of an ever increasing pOpula- ton
 Our state, generally the last to feel a business depression. IS general ly the last to get over one; because at the end of a general Jumping off of business, when prosperity begins to show signs of life, funds are first needed and used in the manufactur ing centers. We still look to the east for funds to help develop our state.
 An old or highly or easily deve- loped section generally s well supp pIied with funds, but it loes not pay the fabulous return on investments which are to be obtained in ours. As we look to the east to help develop our mines, so we must look to the government to provide for the stors age of water to be used on cur fertile valleys. Has the Roosevelt dam, with it's enormous storage of water been a success? Is it not something of which our government may we'll be proud; the bringing under productiv- eness of thousands of acres of land. Are there not many more places in this state where equally as good re- suits could be brought about? As the storage places are builded and more diversified crops are raised. we will have more stable business conditions. If there is coal and oil in Arizona we need' it then and they must and will be found
 In many parts of Arizona wood for fuel is now scarce and expensive Coal and oil are also high, largely on ac- count of freight rates so we must find a nearer source of supply. We must not be satisfied until this is ac- complished because we must com mence to manufacture and not simply supply the raw materials.
 Let us pull together for the good.

ANOTHER DECLINE IN CATTLE PRICES SHEEP STRONG-Ho
 HIGHER

St. Paul had 28,800 cattle, Chicago, 39,o00 cattle, and Kansas City 3O,000 cattle today, supply sufficiently large to add a further decline to the weak close last Friday Trade today was slow in all classes with most sales g cents off and the lowest of the year, in fact in several years past. Hogs declined to new level for the day. Sheep trade was quite 1t strong to g cents higher prices.
 Today's Receipts
 Receipts today were 30,000 cattle, 15.000 hogs, and 5000 sheep, compared with 27,000 cattle, 10,5OO hogs, and 10000 sheep week ago, and 37,900 cattle, 11,650 hogs and S,z37 sheep . year ago.
 Beef Cattle
 Considering the total receipts the percent of feet cattle offered ;otiay was relatively small, but heAyv re- cipls elsewhere together with lower prices caused decline here. Quality o: the offerings was plain. The few good short fed steers here brought $500 to $14.00, and palmer fed grades sold at $11.OO to $12.00. Grass fat steers sold at $6.25 to s115O, few above $11.00 or under $500. Cows and heifers, most of them from the range, were in liberal supply and they sold g cents lower Some fed heifers at s11.50 to S12.0O, and fed COWS at $9.50 to Sf0.0c were quoted steady Veal calves sold slowly at weak prices.
 Stockers and Feeders
 Though more country buyers were here than for some time past receipts were heavy and prices sagged another 25 cents Few early sales were re. ported as countrymen were more in tn capacity of lockers than buyers and were lining up values, intending to make purchase later in the week. Quality of the offerings is good, sup ply large, and prices low, affording an excellent time to buy.
 Hogs
 Hog prices late last week reached a new low level for the year, but the decline attracted increased demand today and the market was stronger in the face of liberal receipts. Today's arrivals were 15.O00, the largest sup ply on any Monday since last May Trading opened early at strong prices and later was 15 to 9 cents higher The top price was s12,25 and bulk of sales sf2Za to $12.75. Pigs were 25 to 50 cents higher ton S12.60.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Though prices in the sheep division were steady to 25 cents higher. quail ty was rather plain, and there was no particular snap to the trade. Most of the offerings were short fed native lambs that sold at s11.00 to $11.75. No choice western lambs arrived. Sheep were quoted steady
 Horses and Mules
 A further moderate improvement was reported in demand for horses and mules, and the general trade $ racoyerine from the recent depres- sion.
