Tax Tobacco to
 Build Good Roa ds

Congressman Stanton WsrburtOn't bill for the construc' ion of a system of national rosos connecting all the stste capitals m the country has he earnest support Of the Phoenix Boa q of Trade.
 The hill is to be introduced in tie house by Congressman Ws'turton who represents the second congres. sionsl district of Washington, soon after congress convenes for the short session. It provides that the internsl revenue tax on tobacco be little more than doubled and the additional money raised in that way be txpend. ed iu constructing roads.
 It is contemplated that sbou, +, GOO miles of road shall be built. Congress man Warburton estimates that the cost will be between S20 .OtO and S25 900 mile. Tit is S20.000 the road can be paid for in four years; if S25 900 in five years. The roadway is to be sixteen feet wide. with heavy base and hard surface Of asphalt or vitrifed brick.
 First of all two stretches of road |, one from Los Angeles and the other along the Atlantic Sesbosrd, shall be constructed. As coon as possible the other roads. connecting all the capitals Of the United Sta'es, will be built.
 A communication explaining the project in detail has been received by the Phoenix Board of Trade from Con. gressrnsn Wsrburton. He explains that had the tobacco tax of 1879 been on in 1910, the money received from the government would have been sl3S 900 900 instead of $5S.000. GOO.

In order to determine, if possible, the
extent to which the parcels post SER
vice, which will soon become effective
throughout the United States January
!, will be used in this city and vicinity,
Postmaster Kress is mailing out to
business men and others circulars sup
piled to him by the Post-otflce Depart
ment at Washington. These circulars
contain table of postal rates that will
be charged within certain zones or
radiuses, dependent upon weight and
distance, and six questions which
merchants and others are requested to
answer and then return the circulars
to postmaster Kress.
January /, when the parcels post law
becomes effective, and thereafter,
fourth-class mail matter will embrace
all other matter, including farm and
factory products, not now embraced by
Jaw in either the first, second or third
class, not exceeding eleven pounds in
weight, nor greater in size than seven
ty-two inches in length and girth com
bined nor in form or kind likely to in

required for transportation and deliv-
cry"
For the purpose of carrying the law
into effect the United States has been
divided into zones with different rates
of postage applicable to each. The
"iocal rate is applicable to parcels
intended for delivery at the office of
mailing or on rural route starting
therefrom.
A glance at the table of rates shows
that the rates of postage are largely
reduced, according to post-otfice otlic-
ials, and that the limit of weights is
increased from four to eleven pounds.
Parcels will be delivered at all free de-
livery offices and to patrons residing
on rural and star routes; they may be
registered and may be accorded special
delivery service on payment Of the
usual ices, and they may be insured
against loss in an amount equivalent
to their actual value, but not to exceed
$25, upon payment of a fee of 3 cents.
Distinctive stamps must be used on all
parcels, but they may be mailed in
quantities of not less than 1000 identi-
cal pieces without stamps affixed, the
postage being paid in money.
