WEEKS DRIVE ON IN PHOENIX F0R NEAR EAST RELIEF

Workers for the Near East relief throughout the state are active today Tn soliciting funds and pledges in the intensive drive which closes this week and the object of which is to complete the states quota in the program call ing for the adoption of 1000 Armenian orphans.
 The little town of Parker with a population of 300 has gone over the top and this is the first community to claim this honor although several high and grammar schooIs have pledged themselves literally in order to provide care for from one to twelve orphans.
 All banks of Arizona have been au- thoriZed to receive funds with the un- oerstanding that these will be made available at once across the waters cable arrangements haveing been per fected to this end
 While donations are being received in any amount, the state organization is especially desirous of securing do- nations and pledges on a monthly basis. Five dollars a month provides food for one child: S10 a month places the orphan in one of the \'phanages established by the Near East relief; s15 a month provides industrial train ing as well as food, clothing and shelter.
 To anyone desiring to contribute to this cause the committee says: Place your donation with your nearest bank or if you choose send it to state head quarters Near East Reliee- Phoenix National Bank Building, Phoenix, Ari zona. together with letter indicating the amount that you feel you are able 10 contribute monthly for the year 1920.
 Mrs. Henry Baswitz, president of the Harmony club, who has accepted the , city chairmanship of the Near East relief, issued an appeal today urging prompt assistance in support of the cause which calls for the adoption of 1000 orphaned sufferers of ArzDn2 and neighboring countries.
 Let everyone who can possibly do so contribute to this noble cause" she

CITIZENS RALLY ID CAUSE OF THE OPEN
 SHOP FUR PHOENIX

As a result of Tuesday nights mass meeting there was manifest yesterday an increasing interest in the open shop in the building trades on the part of citizens who previously had been indifferent to Phoenix's fight for in dustrial freedom. A marked determi- nation N see the open shop issue through to a finish was made plain.
 This was evidenced by the many names which were added to the peti- ton, as well as in the number of open shop signs which appeared in various parts of the city on construction work. and more especially in the windows of Phoenix shops and business houses.
 Comment was general as to the formation of the Phoenix Building Trades Open Shop association, at the mass meeting and those who discussed the meeting yesterday were unanl- mous in their praise of the member of the carpenters union whose good sense and desire for fair play resulted in an exodus of those who had ob- viously attended the meeting for the purpose of preventing tiAs establish ment by citizens of a permanent open shop organization.
 This man was incorrectly described in newspapers yesterday as a MT Irvine" His name is oJhn Irwin, and he has been member Of the carpen- ters union here for some years, though h. was never an officer of the union as was stated. At the close of Tues day nights mass meeting Mir. Irwin could not be found. and his name ap- peared on the minute book of the sec retary as MT. Irvine.
 tI realized" said Irwin yesterday, "that it was unfair on the part of thosa who did not believe in the open shop to attempt to break up the meeting. Though opposed to the open shop my self, I did what I could to restore order
 Active committees of citizens will be engaged in the next few days obtain ing additional signatures to the peu- tion and in distributing the open shop cards. It is expected that by the end of this week the open shop movement will have been endorsed with pledge of support by every citizen interested in the liberation of the building tradA of this city.

LYMAN DAM FARMS
 ASSURED IF PLENTY
 WATER THIS SEASON

Sufficient water is assured for the Lyman dam farms this year to cover all Of the land that will be ready for irrigation. according to G verno or Thomas F. Campbell, who is just turned from St. Johns and the Lyman cam district. A total of 15 900 acres is under the project. but only about 20O0 acres will be ready for water this year. for service, the difficult Berry cut be- for service the di fficult Berry cut be- ing scheduled for completion this week. Two miles of ditch cleaning remain to be done and there is some minor Hume work to do.
 The governor and members of the state loan board were at St. Johns last week to confer with local interests there in regard to the cam. and State Treasurer Harry s. Ross of the loan board is still absent on that work. He is expected back at the capitol soon when a meeting of the board will be called to determine the states final de- cision in regard to continuing the work
 Additional funds from the state loan board are required for completing the dam to it's proposed capacity, and a question is under consideration in re- gard to the kind of material to be used in the main fill for the dam. Some To- cal material is considered unsatisfac- tory. because of lack of sufficient weight, unless it is used in great bulk as was done in the case of the Gatun dam at Panama The cost of inferior local material in large quantity is be- ing compared with the cost of superior and more expensive material in lesser amount.
 When the dam project is completed the states interest is expected to amount to about $70 per acre while the land under the project |. will be valued at a minimum of $10O per acre It is claimed that a good investment for the loan board is assured along with the unquestioned advantage that will accrue to the state from the 15- GOO acres of land to be placed under cultivation.
 The dam was nearly filled in 1915 when it broke during the filling There is belief that the filling process was too rapid, allowing no opportunity for
 the dam body to aSsimilate the load

URGE J. 3. CAMPBELL AS NEW MEMBER OF.
 INTERSTATE COM.

Arizona's corporation commission yesterday endorsed J. B. Campbell or Spokane as it's choice for appointment as a member of the interstate com merce commission, the endorsement following a general request to that CT feet Announcement was made last night by Chairman A. Betts.
 Campbell was counsel in the federal inter-mountain rate case and has at- tracted general attention as cham pion of the plan for providing railroad tariffs based on distance covered rather than on the present method of giving the Pacific coast preferential advantages over the interior. F. A. Jones. member of the Arizona commits sion. has worked with Campbell during the last 10 years and says he believes that Campbell is the best man that the west has presented for nomination.
 Commissioner Jones was endorsed by the Phoenix chamber of commerce two years ago when a similar oppor- tunity arose, but he made no personal effort to secure the appointment. In the case of his friend Campbell he states that he will be glad to see him appointed.
 The interstate commerce commission now has three vacancies, two by req son of enlargement and one because of a resignation. The west has no repre- sentation on the commission nearer than Iowa. By law or custom it is or Gained that both leading parties shall be recognized on the commission, and it is understood that the new board will contain six democrats and five re- publicans. Campbell would go in as republican member.
 Geographical representation does not come in for much consideration, it is said, other than that the west must not get too much. Campbell's appointment would give the commission one repre- sentative for the territory west of Iowa. but no oirect representative for the heavy and fast growing interests of the southwest.
 Commissioner Jones says that he an- ticipates strong support for Campbell from Senator Poindexter, one of the influential members of the senate.

said. We call it the Near East, though 1t is as far from Phoenix as Yokohama is from Vancouver. But Syria and Armenia are nearer to us in deeper sense. Syria is the land of Abraham. the cradle of civilization. Its hills are dotted with Crusaders castles; it's fields and valleys offer the landscape of the psalms, the poetry of our soul. Armenian tradition goes back even farther. It is the land of the myth ical Hittite kings, who fought with Egypt in the very dawn of mans writ ten record: it's mountain, Ararat. is the oldest in story of earth's sl&mits; it's rivers went around Eden.
 We cannot let such a heritage fall into ruin. We must preserve the races for whom alone in the East such memories are things to be cherished. Neighbors in faith, blood and social life, neighbors in love of liberty, neigh bors by the great bond of the common historic past, the peoples of the Near East are brothers and sisters of Amer jeans; and from our land of plenty must come their food and shelter. So long as our hands are outstretched to the Near East relief, so long, like Joshau of old, shall we be able to keep the sun in heaven over the stricken peoples from whom we inherit most of what makes life worth living"

When the new structure is completed the first filling will be accomplished in a gradual manner.
