sumably had due and ample notice. I think it would certainly be wise for you to investigate this matter and if there is any doubt as to what the status of our delegation now is, to write to the Chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee for his opinion.
 On Page 26 of the proceedings of the National Committee meeting of January Sth, 1920, find that the Chairman of the Committee stated that such states as did not have le- gally precribed method for, selecting their delegates to the National Con- vention would have to work out the matter in their own way. MT. Cum mings further said however, You will have to work that matter out in your own way. I am only expressing the one hope that whatever you do will be done in such manner as will make it possible for you to send a delegation to our convention with such undoubted credentials that there cannot be any uncertainty or dispute about them." am attaching verba- tim copy of the extract from the pro ceedings of the committee covering this point. I do not anticipate any argument however at San Francisco if we have complied with the specific requirements of the. National Com mittee, as to the authority of the State Committee to elect the delegates ii they deem it wise. That is merely a question of policy in the absence of any law on the subject in Arizona.
 It seems to be very desirable that some action by the State Committed be taken, if necessary. to render the credentials of our delegation unassail able and it would appear that the number will have to be reduced from twelve to six
 I trust that I may be advised o your opinion in the premises, whict can assure you. will be appreciated by several of us here
 Yours truly,

AMERICAN LEGION
 |S IN FAVOR 0F CIVIL SERVICE

One of the initiated measures to ap- pear on the ballot at the November election will be the Soldiers, Sailors ond Marines Civil Service Bill for Arizona"
 Initiative petitions. containing a copy of the proposed Init 'ot:ve Meas iure,' were being circulated in Clifton ithis week by Lawrence P. Smith, of ithe Harold B. Wilson Post, and was humerously signed.
 ' A synopsis of what the bill is. and twhat is proposed to be done un6er it's provisions, accompanies the petition and is as follows:
 CD This is a bill to be submitted Ito the voters ofxthe State by l.. A. SEngle, Jr. Post of the American Le- zion, establishing State Civil Serv- ice whereby practically all appointive positions in the State Service are placed on a merit basis.
 (2) Merit rather than political in- fuence under this bill would govern < all appointments. 2 (3) It gives honorably discharged Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Mem bers of the Army Nurse Corps pref erence in State appointments when they show themselves qualified for the positions by passing the necessary ex- animation
 (4) It increases the efficiency of the State Service and insures man or woman who is giving good service that they will hold their positions ir- respective of the changes made by politics.
 (5) Efficiency in State Service by all employees means reduction of taxes.
 s (6) Merit rather than political pull should be the basis of all State em. plOyment. A State employee should be made to feel that he owes his al legiance to the people of the State rather than as it is at present to some political clique who assume re- sponsibility for securing and keeping him in his position.
 2 CD All citizens, women as well as men, are taxed to pay the salaries of many useless officials who simply hin der business by their incompetency < .4S) We must have in our Govern. ment. Democracy and Efficiency. De. mocracy is ensured by offering Civil Service examinations to all who wish to apply for office. Efficiency is SC. cured by appointing those whom the Civil Service examination has demon strated most capable and by keeping them in office as long as they remain capable.

 Morenci IS to

Manager Juelg and his human Pan thers" went up the mountain last Sun day and won over the Morenci Wild Cats" (And just think Hippo Eisen- acker" had been feeding them raw beef for two weeks.)
 From the score it seems that the journey up the hill didn't fatigue the ''Panthers' as the 'fWild Cats'' was on the tail end of 15 to 3 score at the end of the ninth round. The "Panth. ers'' were just about Planted" out be, fore the game was over and the Wild Cats" seemed to be trying to win by running the Clifton boys to death on the bases.
 "Old Hoss" Mason did the twirling for the ''Panthers" and held the enc my to six weak blows. Old Floss was at his best and made the ''Wild Cats" crack their back bones at his curve ball and look sick when he used his famous grease ball.
 Morenci thought the game was go ing to be grapes in the first inning but never afterwards was it the least doubtful that their Wild Cats" were hopelessly beaten.
 Morenci got one un in the first in ming on two base knocks and an error At this time the Morenci Fans were going wild and it is a good thing thai they had their share of the cheering in this inning, The Partners settled down in the second and began the rampage around the bases. Features of the game was the heavy hittina o Hes-I-Tate, Clifford, Grimes, Taylor Yanez and Arzate of the Partners.

MOUER IS ASKED. BY LAND BOARD ID.
 GIVE UP MISPLACE

w. A. Mouer, state land commission CT, has been asked by a majority of members of the state land board for his resignation, and it is expected that his reply will be handed in at the next regular meeting of that body. The members asking for the resignation of the land commissioner are Attor- ney General Wiley E.. Jones, Treasur- CT H. s. Ross and Auditor Jesse Boyce.
 It is stated at the capitol that the successor to Commissioner Mouer has already been selected and that the place has been offered to J.sT. Bone, of Maricopa County, former county assessor. W. R. Evants, at present employed in the land office, is said to be slated for the position of deputy land commissioner, now held by Ben Clark
 The action of the majority of the board in asking for the resignation of Mouer does not come as a surprise to democratic politicians as there have been rumors about the state house for several weeks that such action was pending. These rumors had the at torney general as the leader in the movement, backed by the auditor and treasurer and strongly opposed by the secretary of state, Nit Simms.
 The letter asking for the resigna- tion is said to have been drafted on Monday and sent through the mails by special delivery. The land coinmis- and it is stated, was informed by long distance phone Tuesday. He return. ed to Phoenix Tuesday night and was o+ I,;e
 Makes No Statement
 When asked for statement in re- gard to the matter, Commissioner Mouer declined to make one. He stat ed that he had nothing whatever to say in regard to any matters. other than those pretaining to the business of the office, and that when he has something to say he will do so in the form of signed statement to the press. This, he said was his invari able rule.
 The regular session of the land board was to have been held Tuesday morning, but there was no meeting. Auditor Boyce is laid up ats lis home from a slight operation on his leg and Treasurer Ross and Attorney Gen eral Jones were not present. An eff fort to hold meeting yesterday after noon also failed.
 Gov. Campbell, the only republican member of the board, who was not consulted in the matter of asking for the resignation. was scheduled to leave the city Wednesday to go to St David's. It is stated that no meeting of the board will be held on either Th1lrcdav or Eridav in hic ahcanca
 While the letter to the land com missioner, asking for his resignation has not yet been made public, it is stated that it sets forth that the com missioner has been unable, on account of the condition of his health, to keeI in ss close touch with the affairs oi his office as is required for the good of the service.

order was issued late Friday afternoon
after having been held up for a week.
Judge Reed refused to sign it because
he held that a contract the telephone
companies had made with the city
about a year ago not to increase rates

a dissenting opinion setting out his
reason for refusing to approve the in

wrote an opinion explaining why they
considered it necessary to give the
companies the right to avoid their con-

Judge Reed cited in connection with
the case the fact that the same COM

nection with this fact he recalled that
Albert Patten, manager of the two
companies. testified before the court
that the Topeka company carries more
passengers per mile in Topeka than
in Wichita where the lower rate is
charged.

Santa Fe Thinks 1. G. VIII Allow
Freight Increase in Kansas.

Belief that the Kansas court of IN
dustrial relations will allow the in
crease in freight rates to the railroads
was expressed by several general Off
GERS of the Santa Fe here. 1t is point
ed out that an increase in rates is the
only manner of raising revenue to pay
the increased wages allowed by the
railway labor board.
The increase in the Santa Fe pay
roll amounts TO $20.7S5.0o0 annually
for the 1900 employees. and about
one-third of its employees and mileage
are in Kansas. The only way to take
care OF this increase Is by raising the
rates, il vas declared.
