NEW ARIZONA
AUTO CLUB TO
BE ORGANIZED

At a meeting of the Good Roads as
sociation held in Phoenix January II,
1927, number of resolutions were
passed relative to the organization of
a new statei wide automobile club,
with a board of directors selected
from various sections of the state and
elected by the membership. A letter
from Sam G. Bailie, chairman of the
committee, to the various. chambers
throughout the state reads in part as
follows:
Having determined that further eff
fort to reorganize the present club is
futile, we have decided to effect the
formation of new state wide club
After studying the outline recon-
mended by the A.A.A, also the articles
and by-laws of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, we have decided
to follow the plan of the latter as
closely as our laws will permit. This
consists of board of nine directors
elected by the members for a term of
three years; three being elected an

BISBEE, Feb. P.-Further inn

Gently expanded mining activities in
Cochise county with the announce
ment by the Calumet and Arizona
Mining company that extensive de.
velopment has been launched at the
long-c closed Cole shaft here, which
mine was one of the earliest and
largest mineral producers in this Sec
tion of Arizona
This announcement marks the
fourth large Arizona mining com
pany to enter the local field recently
with plans for extensive exploration
and development, involving the ex-
penditure of thousands of dollars
during 1927.
Diamond drill operations will also
be started soon on the John Daisy
group of claims near here by the
Calumet and Arizona company and
the Shattuck-Denn Mining corpora
tion jointly, it was stated. This
program called fer exploration to. a

SWING JOHNSON
BILL is BOTTLED
UP, SAYS AUTHOR
Senator Johnson OF Cali
fOrnia Accuses House
Rules Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2 P).-Thc
house rules committee was accused
today in the senate by Senator
Johnson, republican, California, Of
bottling up the Swing Johnson Boul-
der canyon dam bill.
The Californian, who is joint
author of the BILL declared that SO
powerful was this committee that
there is apparently no power in this
administration-for the administrao
tion assumes to favor this measure
or in che people who are Interested
in this measure, to get a hearing
upon the floor of the congress-
Senator Johnson's address followed
one by Senator Ashurst, democrat
Arizona, who challenged the right of
the senate to act first on the SWING
Johnson bill because it is a revenue
raising measure and warned that if
it did the house would ignore it's
action.
Besides his structures on the rules
committee, Senator Johnson termed
as "insolent'' a recent public pro-
nouncement of a representative Of
the Electric Bond and Share com
pany of New York that the power
interests he spoke for do not pro4
pose to let the government enter the
powerg business at Boulder canyon"
In conclusion, the California sen
ator read a letter from Reclamation
Commissioner Mead to Chairman
Smith, of the house irrigation COM
mittee, warning that government ex
perts who have examined the Colo
RADIO river were agreed that "a Gis
aster of dramatic proportions"
threatens the Imperial valley unless
action is taken to control the flood
waters of the river.
While the senate discussion was III.
progress, President Coolidge sent to
the senate recommendation of Sec
retary Kellogg that the Rio Grande
river committee, appointed last year
be authorized to deal with the util..
;zation of the waters of the lower
Colorado for irrigation purposes.
The secretary said the Mexican
government desired to take up this
question before proceeding with that
involving the Rio Grande and was
ready to appoint a commission for
that purpose.
The division of the water of the
Colorado between Mexico and the
United States has entered frequently
into the discussions Of the Boulder
canyon dam project and the pros
jected negotiations between the two
countries look to an agreement on
the subject.
The Swing johnson bill was taken
up again today by the house rules
committee, but after more discussion
q decision was deferred

ABEL WOULD REPAY
COUNTY HIGHWAY FUNDS

PHOENIX, Feb. (H0.-Representa-
tive Abell, of Cochise county, today
introduced bill in the lower house
Of the state Legislature designed tc
appropriate 100000 of state money
for the reimbursement of the county
federal aid fund, which, the bill
says, was taken by the state and
never replaced.
These monies We're part of the 7o
per cent county apportionment ac-
count of the state road tax, which
amount, the bill stipulates, was
county federal aid money earned by
the use of the IS per cent fund,
turned over to the state highway de-
rartment. The money, according to
data given the joint legislative COM
mittee inquiring into state highway
department finances, was unac-
counted for in the accounts of the
department as drawn by Chicago
firm of public accountants four
years ago.

Bill Authorizing Prison

Legislature.
BANKING LAW S
Protection Of DepOsitOrs'
Money Is Discussed In
Both Houses.

PHOENIX, Feb. 2.--(P)-On two sue
cessive roll calls today the house de-
feated first the Ivy (Marcopa) ball for
matron at the state prison, and then
the Orme (Marcopa) bill to confer
upon women the privilege--or duty, as
you choose-of jury service
On the matron bill, an Outgrowth of
charges that women prisoners at the
penitentiary had engaged in immoral
acts, the vote to postpone indefinitely
was 80 to 19 in committee of the whole
and 80 to 20 on the final roll call. On
the jury bill the vote to table carried,
35 to H. in committee Of the whole,
and SO to IA on the final roll call.
Discussion Of both bills took place
before a gallery packed with women,
members of local clubs and for two
hours nobody could get out-or in
to escape the humidity of the chamber
or satisfy the curiosity as to what
was going on. Speaker Crawford
sensed that it was women's crowd.
Running his eyes over the galleries,
he said: "The chair would like to say
that he has presided over many meet
ings before, but never over woman's
club meeting
Nearly every member of the house
had spoken on one or the other of the
two bills before adjournment, every
opponent of the jury measure explain
ing his belief in woman's suffrage and
equal civic rights for both sexes, but
jury service--well, it was something
more than a privilege, right. or even
a duty. 1t was a forced draft.

them was advanced against suffrage.
All this contamination that is to be
poured over us we read in the news
papers, or you come home and tell us
about it,"
Banks and banking, the subject of
the primary and general election cam
paigns last summer and fall, came in
for attention today from both the sem

in the former of one bill designed to
place the full responsibility for pro-

HOUSE, SENATE
TO CON F Err ON
CRUISERS BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 lP).-The
house and senate today appointed
conference committees in an effort
to reach an agreement on the ad-
visibility of appropriating funds
against the wishes of President
Coolidge for construction of three
more light cruisers and on othe-
points in dispute in the naval supply
bill.
BY a vote of 40 to 81, the senate
yesterday adopted an amendment tc
provide $4,000 to start work on
the vessels, last of the eight author
lied in 1924 while the house sev.
eral weeks ago rejected, 1873 to 161
a motion to provide $450,000 for this
purpose. Party lines disappeared in
both houses on the question.
When the senate returned the bill
with the cruiser and other amend
ments today the house adopted with:

visions and send the bill TO con-
ference. This is the usual procedure
with appropriation bills, even when
amendments not as important as The
cruiser proposal are involved.

TWO THIRDS OF
MEX. OIL WELLS,
ARE SHUT DOWN
Work Ceases AS Result OF
New Land Laws, Pro
ducers Announce.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2 P).-Worlx on
approximately two thirds of the oil
wells in the process of drilling in
Mexico has ceased as a result of the
Mexican governments enforcenSenc
Of the new land laws, the associa
tion Of producers of petroleum in
Mexico announced tonight. This was
made known in statement replying
to charges by thu Mexican depart,
ment Of commerce, industry ana
labor that some ''rebellious com,
panies'' are seeking to create a criti-
cal situation in the oil zone and "aru
making every effort to precipitte a
real conflict"
The "rebellious companies the
statement says, have thus far re-
ceived notice of the concYusion, by
order of the Mexican government or
279 drilling permits. And when it is
considered that oil production in
Mexico is still most entirely con.
fined to properties acquired before
the new constitution went into effect
in 1917, that by far the largest part
of these companies have been pro
ducing approximately 70 per cent o.
all the oil produced in Mexico, the
governments apparent anxiety re-
garding unemployment in the OF.
fields may be readily appreciated.
During the past five years, by the
working of the same inexorable law
of cause and effect, oil production
in Mexico has declined from 185,000,.
600 in 1922 to 15O,OO0,O0O in 1923, to
142,OO0,OO in 1924, to 116,OOO,OOO liz
1925, to about 9O,OOO,OOO in 1925. Iii
the same period the governments
revenues from petroleum export and
production taxes have declined.
Similarly the number of en-
r1oyes in the Mexican petroleum in /.
dustry has declined from approx,
mately 100000 to substantially less
than half that number.
"The companies, however, rea1iz.
ing the hardships which must almost
inevitably follow loss of employment,
particularly under present economic,
conditions in Mexico have UNDER
taken SO far as possible to fino
other work for these employees nor
mally engaged in the drilling which
the Mexican government has ordered
stopped"

LOANS ON BONUS
CERT IFIC A T F S.
ARE APPROVED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 R).-Govern-
ment loans to war veterans on.
bonus certificates were approved by
the house ways and means commit
tee today and Chairman Green later
introduced a bill to authorize them.
His proposal, which is expected to
quickly get the formal approval OF
the committee, added the veterans
bureau to the agencies already
authorized to make loans on certie
ficates at per cent interest. It
would set up a special $25,0OO, 900
life insurance fund" from which the
bureau director might make loans.
Need for the legislation was out
lined to congress early in the year
by veterans organizations when
banks proved apathetic toward maxi
ing loans. Nearly a dozen bills
were introduced and to play no
favorites, the committee decided to
draft a measure of it's own, as was
done by Mr.. Green.
move was made by the American
legion to have interest charged at
as low as per cent, but Director
Hines, of the veterans bureau, ana
Chairman Green held the rate should
be high enough to discourage bor-
rowing.

Moses, of the postal committee.
Senator Moses. who announced he
also was opposed to many provisions

said it would have to be rewritten

Mr. New estimated that the pros

proposals to take over the plant for
