WHY GASOLINE GOES UP

At last petroleum and it's products have joined the army of advancing prices. For ten years prior to 1911 steady increase in the cost of the necessities of life was shown. while petroleum and it's products continued at low level. Now the latter are advancing. The cause is the steadily diminishing production of the finer qualities of crude oil from which gas oline is derived and diminution of the surplus stocks on hand Not only have gasoline and other petroleum
 products advanced, but crude oil has shown an increase ranging from 8 per cent for the heavy fuel oil of California and Texas to from 64 to
 70 per cent for the higher qualities of crude oil produced in PennsyIva- ria, Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma
 Until new oil fields are discovered or
 the demand for gasoline is lessened
 the price of the latter will not be lowered. The enormous increase in
 the consumption of gasoline owing to the world wide multiplication of au- tomobiIes, motor boats and engines also had something to do with the case, as gasoline represents very small percentage of the output of refineries even when the best quality of crude oil is being refined. One thing, however, is settled, and that is that there is no monopoly in the manufacture of petroleum or it's products. The so-called Standard Oil trust has been dissolved, and the in dependents are as eager for higher 1 prices as any one elSe.-LeSlie'S.

 Phoenix, with it's delightful winter climate, is indeed an ideal place for the young musician to spend a season and the fact that so many artists of note, and first class companies appear here is another inducement.

In addition to the regular instruc- tion work in the various courses at the Arizona School of Music, located in this city, the operas and concerts given ev- cry season are most valuable features. The advantages of securing training in dramatic and chorus work are offered only by schools with such complete equipment as is possessed by the School of Music, and to this factor may be attributed part of the deserved sue

BILL TARDED
IN PASSAGE BY
|NC0|.|MESECT|0N i
Numerous Amendments by
Minority Tend to Delay
Measure; May Not Pass
Until Tomorrow.

Washington. D. c., May 7. The
income tax section of the tariff bill
had SO retarded progress of the meas
ure in the house that democratic
leaders early today expressed doubt
Of the bills passage before tomorrow.
Majority Leader Underwood sought
when the house reconvened, to speed
up consideration Of the section, but
there We're scores Of minority amend
ments and he found it difficult to fix
any time for closing debate.
Following the income tax were the
administrative features of the bill
with several stumbling blocks in the
way, notably the provision giving a
fve per cent differential on imports
in American-owned vessels. Should
these features be reached before the
night session. the democrats plan to
bring about an agreement for a vote
for adjournment, probably about mid
night.
May Appeal From Chair.
After the reading Of the bill Is
concluded, under the five minute rule
there may be two motions to recon-
NIT. Minority Leader Mann will
have one motion, which will include
amendments to the bill as whole.
Because Of the chairs ruling yester-
day that the amendment providing .
tariff board is not germane to the
bill, another fght on that feature
seems assured. The republicans plan
to introduce it again at the close OF
the bills consideration and an appeal
will be taken from the chairs ruling

FEDERAL COOPERATION FOR
 GOOD ROADS

Secretary Houston of the depart ment of agriculture says that the
 state and federal governments should work together for highway improve ment in order that large proportion 1 of the money annually spent for road construction may not be wasted. 1 In his own department the office of public roads has been demonstrating the value of proper road building by | the construction of certain object
 lesson roads, and the forest sefNlc" is carving out his idea of national and state cooperation in ro6 build ing. The law requires that ten per cent of the gross receipts from the national forests shall be spent in the states in which the forests are it ed. This money is expended for road improvement under direct control o the secretary of agriculture.
 The amuont appropriated under this act, based on the receipts of the na- tional forests for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1913, is $234, 4,63S.68. From the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent road item, there is an additional $134,- 931.1O, which is still available.
 In administering the ten per cent road fuad forest officers charged with the :.ctr.al plans and expenditures m the ne ghborhood of their forests nave, in almost all cases, seccrcd an e,,ual or a larger cooperative find from sicte authorities for rae building of certain pieces of road.
 With the money thus expended many important roads are being built or put in repair. One on the Wyo- ming national forest, six miles long, make accessible to farmers a large body of timber and opens up re zion of great scenic beauty. In northwestern Arizona, part of the fund will be used in connection with the LeFevre-Bright Angel road, inn portant because it makes accessible to tourists the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In one place, the Ocean to-Ocean Highway crosses the. Apache national forest, Arizona, and on this project the forest service and the local authorities co-operated enthusi- astically. On the Florida national forest, in western Florida, steel bridges and graded roads have, under the stimulus of this fund, taken the place of corduroy, bog and sand.
 This federal road fund is now in all national forest states come in, the forestry officials say, similar fund will become available in ests are being secured.

MAY TAKE NEGRO
 GIRL OUT OF SCHOOL

PHOENIX, Oct. 6.-Because there is one negro girl attending the Phoe- nix high school, man named Mills, who came here two months ago from North Carolina, intends to bring suit for a writ of mandamus to compel the trustees to segregate white and negro children.
 Mills refused to let his own chil- dren attend the high school as long as that one negro girl is a pupil there. He has asked the trustees to exclude her from the school and then make provision for her education else where. This the trustees refuse to do.
