merely questioned the willingness of

it is an obvious fact that officials of
many unions are reluctant indeed to
make a real drive for the organization
of the women. The Carnegie Corpo-

enormous profits that the millionaires

COLORADO MAN
PRAISES ROADS
IN This STATE.

L. G. Duncan, Pueblo, Colo, broker
accompanied by Mrs. Duncan, arrived
in Douglas late Tuesday afternoon on
their way home after an extended mo-
tor trip which took them down the
west coast and through the scenic
wonders of the west. Duncan and his
wife were greatly enthused over Ari-
.zona.
Duncan told representative of the
Dispatch last evening that the roads
through Arizona, and especially this
route, from Tombstone to Douglas,
was one of the finest things they had
encountered on their trip. He said
that the snow in Tombstone canyon
and west of the divide had made the
road very slippery and several cars
had been ditched, but that the trip
could be made easily by using chains.
Mrs. Duncan said that she had en-
joyed the scenery during the Arizona
trip very much. She said that it SEEM
ed different from anything presented
in other states and that the magnifi-
cent distances and the contrasts of the
high hills against the sky were really
Wonderful The Duncans are expect
ing some difficulty in negotiating the
mountain passes on their trip home
from here, but said last evening that
they were used to motoring in Colo
RADIO in the winter time and would
manage to get through all right.

ried by travellers all over the United
States. and demands for supplies of
them to be distributed among tourists

JAPANESE WILL
REDUCE RANK
OF ROYALTY


TOKYO, Dec. %. ~ Up - Imperial
princes not connected with the ruling
family Of Japan apparently are drug
on the royalty market, and in the flu
ture numerous princes who are third,
fourth and fifth sons are to be reduced
to the rank of subjects.
The growth of the imperial families
in recent years is said to have caused
some anxiety to the authorities owing
to the fact that princes and princesses
are entitled to subsidiaries from the
treasury, therefore it was decided to
reduce the rank of many of the
younger ones.
Far from resenting their reduction
to plain subjects, many of the young
princes are glad to give up their ex
allied rank and stipend. Unfettered by
royalty, they may go into trade and
enjoy themselves as ordinary citizens.

ing session of the Arizona State Edu-
scation association here today. The as
past two days.
The change was advocated by as
sociation officials on the grounds that
it would mean the loss of only one
school day, as against three under the
present practice.
John d. Loper, superintendent of the
Phoenix public schools, was elected
president of the association for the
ensuing year and E. w. Montgomery,
superintendent of the Phoenix high
school, was named president of the
administrators conference, which also
met today.

increase he salary Of the state super
intendent of public instruction from
$4,000 to $4,000 year 1t was urged
that Armistice Day be included among

Reduction of the minimum pension
age for teachers from 60 to so, and the
passage of a state law requiring all
children between the ages of 16 and IS
to either attend school or be regularly
employed, were tabled and recommend
ed to the legislative committee for
further consideration.
Resolutions were passed placing the
association on record as opposed to the
creation of state department of ply
steal education and to efforts to take
the school budgets out of the hands of
school boards and to put them under
the control of boards of supervisors.
This, it was said, was to oppose taint-
ing the school system in politics.
