which the state has been fully pro-
nearly 40 per cent of the total as
sessment.
Instead the house lobby was or
dered to hold up all mine tax legis-
lation and use it as club to either
force through measures demanded
by the administration or else stop
all legislation in the interest of bet
ter business and economy.
Well, it worked. Legislation WAS
held up. The mine tax bill WAS
killed for the benefit Of the tax com
mission. There is no land bill; there
is no public welfare bill; there is no
prohibition bill; there is no banking
bill; there is no economical expen-
diture bill; there is no appropria-
ton bill; the affairs Of the state
are all but chaotic; there is no i'm
mediate hope of tax reduction, and
it has cost the taxpayers $1145 for
every working day Of the legislature.
The administration did this. We
wonder if it IS proud of it's accom-
plishment.
The legislature must be reassem-
bled at an additional cost of approx
imately $1,000 per day 20 a citizen
ship already groaning under war tax
alton. The senate, which has per-
formed it's duty, passed the great
measure it was expected to pass and
come clean" will not be coerced
any more in a special session than
it was in the one just ended. The
loyal minority of the lower house
led by men like John Christy of
Greenlee, Flanagan of Yuma, Johns
of Yavapai, Goodwin of Maricopa,
and Graham of Cochise are still "on
the job"
State Auditor Callahan, in a re-
cent report, handles the situation
from the experts standpoint and
without gloves. He says:
"The present administration was
elected on a pla form of economy and
the promise of a business administra-
ion The expense of governm ent
has increased more than 200 per cen
tum, while the increase in population
has not been greater perhaps, than
Is per centum Let us show the peo-
pie Of the state who have taken us
at our word and placed their inter
ests in our hands, that, though we
may make mistakes, We will not hes
itate in the correction of them"
The blame for this condition should
not rest upon the democratic party.
The democratic party, as party and
as representative of the broad dem
ocracy which embraces all parties,
fully realizes the necessity of the
legislation which the lobby defeated,
and realizing it's necessity, sent it's
representative to Phoenix to apply
the remedy. The democratic party
stands firm and true and four square,
but TT HAS BEEN BETRAYED.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT TT, GOVERNOR HUNT?

wear might s-TTO-' or EaS eScapage.
dry motor will become hot more quick
" than one properly fabricated. and If
operated continually above normal
temperature the tendency toward valve
warpage will be sreoter.
Which of the following methods will
stop a motorcar in TIE shorter distance,
APPLYING brakes to lock the wheels or
APPLYING greatest possible brake strain
without locking wheels? And will a
heavy car stop in as short distance as
a Iiqht one, the speed and brake power
being equal?
1t is generally supposed that mo-
torcar will stop in a shorter distance
If the wheels are not fully locked, but
almost so and revolving. When the
brakes are applied so the wheels lock
the only friction tending to stop the
car is that of the tires on the ground
but when the brakes are applied so as
nearly to lock the wheels there Is roll
ing friction of the wheels. gear set and
rear axle friction and brake friction
hence with the greater friction the
car will stop in shorter distance. II
you will watch street car motormer
whose cars are equipped with all
brakes or locomotive engineers al
work you will find that when the con
veyance is to be stopped the brake
control Is alternately applied and re
leased, thus setting and releasing the
brakes, which prevents the wheels
from sliding This not only tends tt
keep the vehicle from moving off the
track. but stops It in shorter distance
than If the wheels had to slide on thu
tracks.
OF two cars exactly the same in ev
ery respect, except as to the load car
ried, the one with the lighter load vii
stop in the shorter distance. This ma!
be attributed to the fact that the In
ertia of the heavier vehicle Is create
than that of the lighter. If you wer'
pushing baby buggy at ten miles pc
hour you could very easily stop !
within few yards, but if you wer'
pushing a 800 pound cart you woul'
find it would require greater distance
in which to stop.

Will a poor grade of gasoline cause

Poor gasoline would quite probably
cause knock in the motor. The low
quality fuel may cause slow burning
in one NJ more cylinders. Slow burn
Ing will sometimes cause preignition
knock. Continued use Of low grade
fuel may cause much carbon 10 deposit
on the piston, ana this will make a pre-
ignition knock. The knock is caused
by the piston striking the cylinder wall

An offset cylinder is one whose axis
Is offset from the vertical plane
through the crank shaft, That is a
line drawn vertically through the
crank shaft center. In Offset cylinder
construction when the piston is on top
dead center the connecting rod is not
directly in line with the crank shaft
but, rather, makes an angle with it.
Cylinders are offset 50 as to dimin-
ish the side pressure eXcrted between
the piston and cylinder when the pis'
ton is on the.fring stroke. accomplish

What 10 meant by casehardenins?
Casehardening refers Ito a process
of producing hard eaElng Of metal
over piece Of steel. 1ne process con-
sists in heating the metal and then
lightly sprinkling potassium cyanide
over it while it is hot. This causes an
action between the metal and the cy-
anide, with the production of coating
which is very hard. This case or coat
ing has good wearing qualities and
protects the inner metal which is SOFT
or and acts as a cushion for the case.
Aside from the cyanide mentioned
above, charcoal is used or charcoal
mixed with barlum carbonate.
Can a hiah tension magnetic that runs

What advantages are gained by fit

The advantages claimed for special

Kindly explain just how baekfire is
caused and why this should happen
any more with a weak mixture than
when the mixture is rich. Also where
does the backfre start?
A bacltire is possible with either a
weak or rich mixture, although more
common with the former. because a
weak mixture burns more slowly. The
backfire starts in the cylinder and is
due to the presence of flame in the
combustion chamber when the intake
valve opens TO take in fresh charge
If the combustion of the charge Is
very slow there will he flame in the
cylinder, not only all through the pow
er or expansion stroke. but also
through the succeeding exhaust stroke
so that what gas remains in the cyIin'
der when the exhaust valve closes and
the intake valve opens is still incan
descent and sets the fresh charge on
fire the moment it comes in contact
with it, thus producing Il backtire
Ordinarily backiifc can only be pro
duced by IA weak mixture at high
speed, say 1000 revolutions per min
ute, although with Il very weak mix
ture or very late spark backhre
may be produced at much lower
speed. say 500. 1t is possible to make
the motor backfire by using too rich
mixturelal but the ovcrrich mixture
burns faster than the one that IS toe

While my engine ls idiins with the
clutch in or out a dull thump may be
heard. This comes at irregular inter
walls. Can you explain this?
The thump undoubtedly is from the
motor, since by declutching the clutch
everything behind it remains still. A
loose bearing might cause thump.
and loose f1ywheel might emit the
same sound.
