G.H.MAXWELL ID TALK AT TOWN MEETING"

Will Arizona sit by and let the flood waters of the Colorado be lost to the state? This will be the subject of an address to be made by George H. Maxwell at the next town meeting. The committee in charge of the meet ing, C. M. ander, Ernest w. Lewis, Howard L. Reed, Joseph McAleer and Warren Parker, have planned for this meeting at the Arizona School of Music on Tuesday next, the 21st, at 7:S0-
 Arizona's interest in the Colorado river is vital. At a conference held yesterday. Mir. Maxwell pointed out the need of prompt and vigorous action on the part of Arizona in order to insure the state securing the volume of wa ter to which it is entitled from the flood water of the great Colorado. The own meeting committee extends an in- vitation to everyone to be present. It is not necessary to belong to any par ticular organization in order to attend. It is for the public and all are cor dially invited. Twenty years ago the first steps were taken to secure the storage of the flood waters of the Salt river. MT. Maxwell believes that now is the time to start the movement to conserve the flood water of the Colo rado and bring to Arizona untold bene- fits in the way of irrigated lands which will make farms. homes and towns that will add enormously to the popu- lation an dwealth of the state.

CHRISTMAS EVE BALL TOBE.
 SOCIAL EVENT AT SAN MARCOS

The guests at the San Marcos are looking forward with specially pleasant anticipation to the Christmas eve ball. which promises to be a social event of quite the first magnitude, many society people of Phoenix and suburban towns having already reserved tables.
 Joe Daniels has gone hunting with Orris Holdren. They left the first of the week headed for the Rim of the Mogollons, carrying with them a full equipment of lethal, mortal and deadly weapons including an army rifle and a Graflex camera.
 Bear is the principal objective, though Joe says he is not above taking shot at a flock of unicorns if they should go by, or even a Hellidid or two. The graflex,, it seems, is to be one of the most important weapons, the idea being to take photographs of the vic tims before and after shooting. The apti-shot ones ought to be specially interesting. The plan they adopted, we understand, before leaving Chandler
 was for Orris to hold the bear by the | tail while Joe pressed the button. Look | pleasant, pleaSe-everybody | Another trip that promises to be full of interest is one that was taken by Mrs. Robert Adrain, Robert Adrain and William R. Dorman. The excursion which is taken by motor under the di- rection of Guide Bill Huggett, will in- clude in its itinerary Roosevelt, Globe Winkleman, Tucson, Nogales and over the border into Old Mexico.

Auto Thieves

ITO the Editor of The Republican:
 Tn looking over your paper Of last Sunday. and which, by the way, is one oS the broadest, cleanest and best com rnerctallv I have ever had the pleasure of reading, I noticed your views on auto thieves. To my mind, the sooner such boys and men are put to work instead of being permitted to pay fine and then turned loose, perhaps ,o steal another car the first chance thav have, the better.
 What do such fellows care for a Jne. They make their money easy and they just go and make more, ana so it goes. Such fellows won't work if if ts left to them. It is very evident that they prefer to steal.
 Bootlegging should be punlshed the same way made to work on the roads Give them six to 12 months on the roads and it will be the means ot roaking better boys and men of them save feeding them in jail and save eN- nense te the city and county. By en- forcing rigid punishment 1t would help to lift LID fallen humanity and make better community for all.
 Those of US who are better thinkers sbou1d by all means keep such men and hovs employed. for an idle mind is the devils workshop.
 So let's get busy and nave Goou roads and in the course or ulne' Soou men. r.p9v pr.Ao-D

Market News

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Heavy selling of the general list at extreme reces- sions of to 6I2 points attended the weekend session of the stock ex- change. Shorts were in control
 Oils, shippings, / food shares and sundry specialties were features of weakness, notably Mexican Petroleum, Royal Dutch, Houston Oil, Atlantic Gulf, American International and American Beet Sugar
 Selling finally extended to the steels, equipments and dividend paying rails. General Asphalt, new feature of the market, also gave way to pressure.
 Of the representative industriaIs, United States Steel held relatively steady, losing only the smallest frac- ton, and Crucible Steel closed at d nominal gain. Sales, 50O,O0O shares. For the first time since the middle of October, the clearing house state ment showed an increase in loans and discounts. The expansion of $115, 5,576.- l 900 doubtless was caused by the week s heavy payments of federal taxes. Other l changes were trivial, actual reserves decreasing by slightly over $3,O0O, 900.
 The bond market was active and ir- rt gular although several of the lin- erty group closed at moderate ad- vances. Convertible railway bonds eased as a result of the break in trans portation stocks. Total sales, paI value. aggregated $S,275, 900. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call this week.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Revision o1 values in the securities market to lev els commensurate with reductions 1T all commodities and staples made fur ther perceptible progress this week, bu' tho n1nWnnpnf pT9dH41 and derly.
 Deflation was almost continuous 1T many groups of stocks, notably those of the specialties. Their decline! were hastened by dividend reduction: or suspensions, coupled with more con. fioent and aggressive short selling.
 Other accelerating factors were fur nished by latest industrial and com mercial happenings.
 The reverse side of the picture wa presented, however, by close observer of economic conditions, who seemed | find cause for encouragement, in en larged bank clearings and savings de posits as we'll as increase in tn amount of life insurance written.
 Improved credit conditions logicall, followed the further depreciation 0 quoted values. In no quarter was thi more apparent than in the financia district, where brokers loans are sai , to have decreased fully one billion dol , lars from the high peak of Is month ago.
 Contrary to conditions of the thre preceding years, the investment situa ton evinces few signs of any pro ) nounced demand anticipatory to the re lease of January interest and dividen ) funds. Bankers seem disinclined to pu the market to a severe test of its ab sorptive capacity.
