to pay one-ffth this year for maintaining the
state government than he paid last year. In other
words the state tax rate "A IL cents the

"a cents the hundred dollars valuation, the
increase being 9 IL cents on the hundred. Here
is an increase twenty percent in rate
the face of the fact that the total assessment in
creased than s11, 100000 last year. Last
year the people told that the reason the tax
rate was so high to be found in the heavy mi
tia expense of providing free school books in Ari-
iona. This item will not amount to one-fourth this
year of what tdid last; taxes will be available from
100000 taxable property this year last
still the state rate is to be increased twenty
per cent, according to the Phoenix report This in
creased state tax rate should bring half
million additional money to the state treasury, if
we are not mistaken in figures.
This money all be required to satisfy the
capacious of the Hunt political machine in this
state, but this increase should at least start in
quiry through as what this half million
dollar is be applied to? And this inquiry
promises to become very embarrassing to the demo-
cratic party in the campaign next year.
So far observance went during the legis
lative session there little if any additional
peuse provided for in our state government and
if the legislature could have had its in trying
to cut off much useless expense surely the state
tax rate would have been less than it last
year. But the with his veto left the door
open for unbridled and almost unlimited expense
and to meet this condition and recoup the empty
state treasury presume the tax commission could
find no other way than the increase of the state
tax rate.

State Engineer of Arizona Selected to
Open Important Discussion at the
= Pan-American Road Congress in
New York.

FITTED FOR TALK

Engineering Necessary in Arizona
His Views Will Be of Interest.

NEW YORK, Aug. S-Lamar Cobb,
state engineer of Arizona, has been
selected by the program committee for
an important part in the work of the
Pan-American Congress. Mr.. Cobb,
will open the discussion on the sub
ject of Engineering Supervision of
Highway Work." at the afternoon ses-
sion of Wednesday, September Is.
1t is the opinion of the committee that
Mr.. Cobb is peculiarly fitted to lead
the discussion by reason of the great
variety of road engineering necessary
in his state, and the methods by whcih
the most successful results have
been gained.
The advance official program of the
Pan-American Congress shows that
twenty-seven separate subjecs will be
discussed during the ten sessions,
these subjects covering practically the
entire field of road and street con-
struction and maintenance, and the
organization and administration of
highway affairs.
The method pursued is to secure
the preparation of a paper on the
subject assigned by the committee by
some authority actively engaged in the
particular class of work concerning
which his paper treats, and thus bring
to bear the fullest possible presenta-
ton of the problems connected with

of the subject by men of wide expert.
ence and knowledge, until every de-.
tail, of the most approved practices
shall have been made clear. The
names on the program are those
known as the most thoroughly COM
petent men in the country in their
respective lines of activity.
The Pan-American Road Congress
will covene at the Municipal Audi
torirm, Oakland, Cal, Monday morn
ing, September 10, and continue until
Friday night. The opening address
will be made by Governor Charles W.
Gates of Vermont chairman of the
Executive committee, of the congress.
He will be followed by Governor
Johnson of California, Mayor Davis
of Oakland, and Director of Con-
crosses Barr, of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, who will deliver addresses
lof welcome. Addresses in response
Twill be made by George W. Tillson,
president of the American Road
Builders Association, and Fairfax
Harrison, president of the American
Highway Association. The congress is
to be held under the joint auspices of
these two associations, assisted by the
TrfState Good Roads Association of
California, Oregon and Wisconsin,
and the Pacific Highway Association.
Previously the two great associations
which are of national chracter, have
held separate annual conventions.
On Wednesday, September Is, di-
version from the usual place of meet
ing has been announced. That day has
beer designated as Pan-American
Road Congress Day, and the sessions
of the congress will be held in Fes-

undertakes to start revolution against it will be
quickly rounded up and delivered for execution.

In Mexico as against the present bandit and

returned to industry and prosperity. There few
nations with greater richer than Mexico
and with a stable government protected from harm
by the strong of this country and her South
American allies the country would be restored
to peace and progress.
Let the Carranzas, the Villas and the zapatas
be given understand that the time for ending their
personal and selfish ambition Mexico has arrived
and there will no trouble to find loyal patriots in
Mexico who have the ability and inclination form

Speaking Trumpet Is Old.

Duhamel, Frenchman. claimed for his country the credit of the invention of the speaking trumpet, and referring to the object in one of his books he says: Among many things which the celebrated D'Alance caused to be made for this purpose, the trumpet ascribed to Alexander, and with which he called together his army, ought not to be omitted. As the figure of it was represented in an old manuscript in the Vatican library, and had been ascribed to Bettini, that learned man was desirous of trying whether it could be proved by experience, and the attempt succeeded; for that kind of trumpet, if it does not excel, seems undoubtedly to equal the other instruments constructed for that end"

 With continued rise in the Ar kansas river, and coincidental rise in the level of the water ia the old lake bed, the water swept across two of tho principal streets in East Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon, Second avenue and Sixth avenue both being thus affected by the flood situation.
 h Second avenue, near Tennessee, about II o'clock yesterday forenoon there was inches or more water running across the tracks of the street car line. and traffic was sus- pended. Worlmen of the street car company were put to work to build q plank walk over the water, and after this passag way was complet- cd, passengers were transferred from car to car, it being necessary for them to walk about 300 feet to make the transfer. The walk was built of heavy boards, spiked to cross;ies. and weighted down with railroai rails.
 At Sixth avenue and Tennessee street, the water did not interfere with street car traffic
 At this point. the first trouble was caused by water which came into the street via the drains of the surface 1 drainage system.

To facilitate the cutting of glass in any desired shape device has been patented which consists of base on one side of which is a metal groove that holds sliding portion to which is attached straightedge. The straightedge can be adjusted to any angle by loosening the set screw. The sliding member is made in the shape of protractor and graduated accordingly. On the straightedge slides a member holding a piece of marking chalk. In use, the straight edge is set at right angles and its sliding member is moved to the de. sired width. By sliding the straight edge at right angles a chalkline is drawn on the glass.

Dynamite Leyee.

Fort Smith, May 31.-Another break in the levee along the river near fiaroldton occurred last night. It is supposed that the levee was dynamited. More than half a mile of the levec went in, which makes conditions worse on that side of the river.
 Every family but two have moved out of the bottoms.
 The river at this point fell about six inches last night, but rains which fell above here are liable to start it to rising again. The damage done to the bottom farms is estimat- cd at about $100,O00.
