Consuls to Look
After Foreigners

Washington, d. c.. March 14.-Gen-
eral Carranza has consented to have
American consuls look after the inter-
ests of foreigners in parts of Mexico
under control of the Constitutionalists
where their own governments have no
consular representatives.
Where there are such representa-
tives he suggests that, even where
their governments have recognized
Huerta, these consulS may unofficially
communicate with him without involv-
ing their governments. Also, he sug-
gestS his willingness to listen and heed
any applications made to him directly
by the friends and relatives of for
eisners whose lives or property may be
threatened and to make investigation
of every case and to punish any of his
followers who may be culpable.
This is the substance of a tele-
graphic report made to Secretary
Bryan to-day by Mexican Consul Sim
pich, at NogaIes.
Villa Wants Presidency
Villa the one-time bandit, will be
the next president of Mexico. That is
his ambition, and despite all reports
to the contrary II will remain his am
bition until he either is dead or presi-
dent"
This declaration was made to-day
bya friend so close to General Villa as
to give authority to the assertion. 1t
was prompted by reports that the 60

revolution, was to bring about con-

phatically that the coming of Car.

power now welded by Villa, who for
months has been a dictator.

CEILING MATERIAL
 MAKES COOLER HOUSES

Among the materials used in the construction of the splendid new Power Apartments at the corner of Third avenue and Roosevelt street, is the new ceiling material known as Sil-o eel which has been used with q great deal of success in California cities and elsewhere. as a means of sound dead ening, fireproofing, pest excluding ceiling material
 The effect of the use of this sub stance which is of mineral origin is to lessen fire insurance rates, in- crease the comfort of the place because it makes it both cooler in summer and warmer in winter than are those build ings not so equipped, and to insure permanent tenants.
 The Powers Apartments have been equipped with Sil-o-cel on the under roof, and the rooms are cooler on the
 upper floor than are those of the lower floor. The substance has the faculty Of keeping the heat out, making it very valuable for this section.
 The Powers Apartments. were con structed by Peabody and Stewart, the architects for the commodious struc-

 by the Arizona Hardware company. of which H. K. Behn is the manager.

crease as the number of motor driven vehicles increase and the amount raised by the license tax will increase accordingly. In the last few years motor driven trucks have rapidly taken the place of horse drawn vehicles wherever the roads have been inn proved.
 Equally interesting for the future may be the fact that while there were almost no motor trucks in 1909. in 1912 there was an average of over II per station per day, or about per cent of the total traffic in numbers and much more in weight. What will it be in the near future? That is one of the questions which must be answered. The increase in motor trucks between the census taken in August and that taken in October was notable. The average number of vehicles at each station de- creased = a day or IS per cent, while the number of motor trucks actually increased per cent In one town there was an average of only one truck d

By LAMAR COBB, State Engineer.

The proposed $5,00u,U0O bond issue for state. roads will decrease the tax rate. The present GO13) state road levy is 2-3 cents on the hundred dollars. If the bond bill passes the levy for state roads will not exceed 1 cent the first year, 1-2 cents the second year, 1-2 cents the third year. 1-2 cents the fourth year and then gradually decrease until 1930. In that year the first 1-20 of the bonds will become due and the levy will increase to about cents. thereafter decreasing to extinction in 1850. This is based upon the modest assumption that our wealth will increase at least 1-2 per cent per annum and that the bonds cannot be sold at less than per cent and that it will take four years to com plete the construction beginning with an expenditure of not to exceed $700, ,000 the first year.
 The following table shows the great est amount you will have to pay in any year for the use of these roads: if assessed for $1,000, you will pay 60 cents; if assessed for s10.O0O, you will pay SC; if assessed for $50,00O. you will pay 80.
 l. If the bond bill does not pass you will pay more taxes every year than if it does-get a fraction, year by year. of the improved roads contemplated and see them completed 25 years hence.
 The various classes of property in the state will pay for the construction of these roads in the following propor- tion: mines, improvements thereon. smelters, etc, 37.2: city and town lots with improvements. 15.2; railroads, 22.2; lands with improvements, 10.7; livestock. 5.9; merchandise. 2.6; tele- phone and telegraph. IA; waterworks, street railroads, gas, light and power plants, 8; all other property, 4.S. Note: The above proportions are for the state as a whole.
 The highways to be improved com prise the roads that carry the greatest traffic of all kinds, farm, mine. mill etc. in every county, with few excep- tions. and are state roads only by req son of their coordination connecting

all the county seats and most Of the largest communities in the state.
 The bond amendment provides that the $5,000,000 shall be divided into two parts. Seventy five per cent must be expended in the various counties in proportion to their assessed valuation and p per cent to constitute a gen. eral fund to be expended where neces- sary to insure uniformity of cOnstruc ton throughout the entire system The preceding table gives the approximate mileage of proposed roads in each county. and the approximate amount each will have of the 75 per cent DOT tion with what that amount will fur nish per mile in each county to con struct the proposed roads
 A glance at this table will indicate with considerable accuracy the coun- ties in which the 25 per cent portion will necessarily have to be expanded. And to my mind. not wholly bereft of faith in the honesty and integrity of his fellow man who may occupy public office, where it will be expended. Should the 75 per cent portion of any county be more than sufficient to con- struct the proposed state roads in that county it is to be expended on such other state highways as selected by the board of supervisors of that county and the state engineer.
 Maintenance.
 It was impracticable to provide maintenance fund in the bond amend ment. This fund should not be de- rived from d bond issue but should be collected annually The amount nee essary for this purpose cannot be e<ac- curately estimated as it will depend almost entirely upon the traffic the roads will have to bear The motor vehicle license raised in the year 1912 S16,003.50 and in the year 1913 $S5, O4G.25 assuming that the license fees remain as they are at present and that the annual increase is 10 per cent, this tax will in five years be raising $50 900, in 10 years $S3,000. If the increase is at the rate Of 20 per cent, which is possible, then figures will be doubled. The amount of traffic upon which de- bends the cost of maintenance will in

 One must realize that the court is taken all over the state, in the country towns as well as near cities, and the II trucks is merely an average of all the 156 stations.
 "O2 the state highways near the cities there were often found from 90 to D trucks day, and usually from 15 to 30. On some roads motor trucks con- structed 16 per cent of the total num- Der of vehicles and actually outnum- bered touring cars
 Merely to illustrate, it might be stated that on some of the roads there were ,2,100 to 2,400 vehicles daily. and on many there were 800 to 1000 and yet the average for the whole 156 sta tions was about 350."-(Taken from Massachusetts Hihway Commission Re port, year ending November 30, 1912) It IS safe to say that this tax With the present fees will take care of all main
