 The resolutions committee report ed as follows
 "The republican state committee of Arizona assembled in special session at the outset of it's considerations is weighed upon with keen realization of the subtraction from the assets of the state of Arizona, the republican party and this body, which has been occasioned by the death of Allen B. Jaynes, the republican national com mitteeman for the state of Arizona.
 "In signalizing the sense of loss which has come to the state and party in this deplorable occurrence, the state committee commemorates the inde- fatigueable zeal, the tireless loyalty, the unselfish cooperation, the courageous leadership and the great victory which was the climax of an unparalleled ca reer in this state.
 Resolved, that a copy of these res olutions be spread upon the minutes of this body, a copy forwarded to the national committee of the party and that copy, subscribed by the roll of this committee, be furnished to the family.
 "As citizens of Arizona, as we'll as republicans, we summon attention to the splendid achievements of our gov ernor, Hon. Thomas E. Campbell. We point to the wonderful display of pa- triotism in which voters of all parties united at the polls to mark their ap- proval of the correction of abuses and the cutting away of avoidable expense in the government of the state under his direction.

STATE AUTO LICENSES TO
 BE ISSUED AFTER JAN.

Contrary to usual practices, no auto licenses will. be issued until after the first of the year by the secretary of states office. In order to accommo- date those who wished to secure the same numbers as used in the previous year, it has been customary to issue license plates during the month of De- cember
 This plan is impossible this year on account of large number of new county assessors who are taking office. Before license can be secured from the state it is necessary to procure a tax certificate from the assessors busy trying to clean up the work of their offices before turning them over, they have no time to be bothered with other details, and hence refusal on the part of many to issue the tax certificates until after the first of the year. For this reason it is impossible for the secretary of state to issue licenses in advance.
 However, everything is being made ready to expedite the work of dis tributing the new numbers beginning Monday, January 3.

GENERALIZATION OF
 ADMINISTRATION OF
 SCHOOL FUND URGED

PHOENIX.-Centralization of the administration of school funds was ad- vocated by Gov. Thomas E. Camp bell in an address. before the cenven- ton of the State Teachers associa- tion which began q three days session here last Tuesday
 Governor Campbell pointed out that the legislature and the state admin istration stood ready to cooperate for efficiency in schools, but pointed out what he said were number of de- fleets in the schools as they now were conducted. Statistics showed, he said, drift of children from rural schools to town, indicating dissatisfaction with the country schools.
 The governor, in pointing out the advantage of centralized administra- tion of school funds, said there were too great discrepancies now between per capita cost of education in various localities. He said it cost $409.32 to teach l2 pupils at Flagstaff and $812.63 to instruct the same number at Metcalf.

STANLEY, STANDAGE, APPOINT
 ED TO TAX COMMISSION POSTS

William Kramer will serve again as counsel to the tax body.

 Mir. Stanley was former resident of Cochise county and served under Mir. Boyce during his two terms of office. He is regarded as an expert as- countant.
 Mir. Standage was clerk of the board of supervisors when MT. Luke was su- pervisor.

VERDE BROCK SALT" IS
 VALUABLE MINERAL

Rock salt" that failed to agree with the cows of Verde valley may now make that valley the center of a new industry.
 So says Dave Biles, who has just returned from his ranch near Camp Verde.
 The "rock salt" which has turned out to be immeasurably worthwhile instead of worthless. comes from de- posit discovered some time ago by Verde valley cattlemen.
 The cattlemen, believing the mineral to be rock salt, began feeding it to their animals, and the place was henceforth known as the "salt mine. A government expert happening along that way analysed the "rock salt" and warned the cattlemen that what they were feeding to their steers was highly injurious, being very poor substitute for the real article. Since then Verde valley cattle have passed up that particular dish.
 Now comes outside capitalists with the news that the "rock salt" spurned by the cattlemen is one of the rarest mineral desposits in the United States. It is used in certain processes of pa- per manufacture, and so far only one other similar deposit has been discov- cred in this country.

election of national committeeman. The name of Mir. Baumert was pre- sented by Captain George D. Christy. Governor Campbell seconded the nom- ination. The contest which had so happily ended, he said, was a good thing for the party. It had served the purpose of bringing together the largest representative number of re- publicans ever assembled in the state at committee meeting.
 The nominations were then closed and the acting secretary was directed to cast the votes of al the members, shown by the credentials committee report to be entitled to vote, for Mir. Baumert.
 Chairman Sames then announced his resignation and retired from the chair, which was taken by Captain Christy.
 Mir. Titcomb nominated Frank Bar ", of Nogales, for chairman. who pro- tested that the matter was one of so great importance that time should be given for its consideration. A com mittee of five was appointed to make the nominations. The committee was composed of A. H. Lyon, of Pima; P. J. Sullivan, of Yuma; F. s. Breen, of Coconino; M. E. Titcomb, of Santa Cruz, and Hugh Daggs, of Maricopa-
 When the committee was named, a recess of 30 minutes was taken. The committee reported the names of Harry A. Clark, of Cochise. for chair man, and F. A. Nathan, of Tucson, for secretary These nominations were confirmed and the committee adjourn ed
 The boom for MT. Clark had been started in the forenoon by James s. Logic, of the Douglas Dispatch.
 MT. Clark, the new chairman, first became identified prominently with Arizona politics in the Roosevelt movement in 1912. He is the super intendent of the c. and A. smelter at Douglas. MT. Nathan, the new secre- tary, was for long time connected with the C. and A., but is now busi- ness man of Tucson and was mem- Der of the board of supervisors of Pima county.

MUST HAVE CROSSED
 STATE BY SOUTH ROUTE

When water won't cure thirst, but the juice in your mouth turns to slime, caking in Jumps on your lips, when the skin dries up because there's no more sweat, when your eyes ache and your brain mills 'round-that's Arizona.
 The air shakes in waves like mist of cobwebs, and through that quiver the landscape goes all skeweye, for some of the mountains float up clear of the land, and some turn upside down standing on rows of pillars along the skyline. Then the hollows of the land fill with blue mist-blue lakes and cactus bushes change into waving palm trees by the waterside.
 How can a man keep his head when the world goes raving crazy all around him? You have just to keep on re- membering that your eyes have quit being responsible, that your nose is a liar, that your ears are fooled, then keep a taut rein on yourself for fear your wits stampede, and your legs go chasing visions down the trail to death.--"Chalkeye" in "Curly, Tale of the Arizona Desert" by Roger Po- cock.

TOOMY HEADS "DRY"
 SLEUTHS IN THIS STATE

John A. Toomey, until recently To- cated at Fl Paso as narcotic inspector, has been appointed federal prohibi- ton agent in charge of the state of Arizona, with headquarters in Tucson.
 The necessity of establishing an in- creased force in the state, because of its close proximity to the Mexican border land that must be watched in preventing the smuggling of liquor into the United States from Mexico, was deemed advisable, according to federal officers, in coping with the il- licit whisky and narcotic traffic in Ar izona.
 From Tucson Agent Toomy will fight against the illicit handling of narcotics and liquor throughout the entire state.
