ID HOLD HEARING
 ON LUMBER RATES

That the rate on lumber shipped from Holbrook to the southern part of the state has been prohibitive is all legged to be back of the order issued by the corporation commission yester- day in which the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company, the Arizona Eastern, Southern Pacific and Fl Paso and Southwestern are cited to appear before the commission at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
 It is alleged that the Southern Pa cific, Arizona Eastern and Fl Paso and Southwestern have refused to publish through rates from Holbrook to points on their line in the interests of the Apache Lumber company, mak- ing it impossible for the company to establish a market In the southern part of Arizona
 In its citation the commission stat ed that as a basis for consideration at the investigation it proposed the fol- lowing:
 That reasonable and lawful rates for the transportation of lumber, tim Der and other forest products shall not exceed by more than 2 cents per 100 pounds on carload shipments the rates contemporaneously in effect from Flagstaff"
 The commission ordered the rail roads to submit information and facts that may be essential to a proper de- termination of reasonable rates.

"A. JONES n TAKE
 UP PRACTICE BEFORE
 CORPORATIONC COMM
n ssARp1K o es.ssS

P. A. Jones, for the past nine years a member of the corporation commis- sion, will open offices in this city after the first of the year and engage in practice before the interstate commerce commission and the corporation com mission.
 Recognized as one of the ablest rate and traffic men in the state, MT. Jones, it is understood, has already signed contracts to handle rate adjustments and public utility cases for a number of the largest shippers in Arizona
 He expects to open his offices in the Arizona Fire Insurance building early in January and will have associated with him a well known traffic man whose name will be made public in the course of a few days. It is believed that the readjustment period will note q great deal of litigation resulting from federal control of the railroads and the many advances that have been made that will require attention from men who have for years made study of rates. MT. Jones has for more than a quarter of a century given his thought to the problems that will make up his future work.
 MT. Jones was member of the con- stitutional convention, serving on the committee of corporations. He
 
 tion that provides for a corporation commission, to which he has been elected repeatedly by the people of the state. Prior to serving in the con- stitutional convention Mr. Jones was manager of the Naricopa County Commercial club, instituting the first rate complaints against excessive rates and securing many favorable de- cisions. He became particularly well known about that time for breaking down all principles having to do with payment of rates to Arizona from the East based on the rate to Los Angeles plus the local rate back. The rates at that time were double and in many l instances treble the shipments from the East to Los Angeles. While with the Commercial club MT. Jones did other notable work that was later merged into the inter-mountain rate case.
 While with the corporation commis- sion he has handled all matters per 1 taining to railroads and has presented arguments in practically all cases that have come before the interstate com merce commission through which he has gained a national reputation.
 MT. Jones has had 20 years railroad experience in the West. For a number of years he was general freight and l passenger agent of the Santa Ee. Pres 1 colt &. Phoenix and previous to that time served as a general and district agent with the Santa F'e in California, 1 having been established at various times in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Fresno.

OWN SALARY GUT.
 COMINENDS ACTION

That the movement for retrenchment in public expenses is finding favor even with those who it affects is the opinion of Ed Stephens, secretary to the live stock sanitary board. which at a meet ing last week directed MT. Stephens to notify a number of inspectors that their services would no longer be re- quired and to reduce the salaries of those who remained on the staff
 MT. Stephens said yesterday that he had received word from a number of the inspectors who respected the attl- tude of the livestock board. Ed Hamil- ton, cattle inspector of Coconino coun- ty, whose salary was cut to S100 from $175, in a letter announcing that he would continue in the employ of the board stated, Kindly allow me to con- gratulate you on the action Of the board. Any move to retrenchment in public expenses is very commendable. /"

The work in Glendale will soon be un- der way, possibly with the appointment of a chairman today, said MT. Kelly. The Kiwanis club of Phoenix is re- ported preparing to take an active part in the collection and it was suggested at it's meeting yesterday that 5000 be raised to support 100 of the unfortuna<$ children of Europe until the next har- vest, when their own countries will be able to take care of them.

 MT. Kelly said he had sent letters to the merchants throughout the county, soliciting their support and asking them to receive volunteer donations for the European Relief council made payable to R. E. Moore, treasurer and sent to him (Mr. Kelly) at 214 O'NeiIl building.
 A report received at state headquar- ters from Mrs. r. C. Lockwood, county chairman at Tucson, said prominent citizens of her committee were arrang- ing for team work for an intensive drive between Dec. 2s and 30. Mrs. Lockwood said the goal in Pima county had been placed at s6.000.
 The nationwide campaign opened in New York with a huge meeting in the Metropolitan Opera house, when Her bert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief council, spoke under the aus pices of the woman's committee. "The deepest impression was made upon the audience which responded with a flood of donations exceeding $650.000," says wire received at Arizona headquar- ters. The wire continues: "The public is thoroughly awakened to the solemn obligation of our appeal when ever our message is adequately pre- sented"
