AFTER WILDCATTING.

Arizona Mining promotions may be the subject of legislative investigation conduct ed by joint committee of both houses of the legislature according to gossip which is cur rent in Phoenix. Representatives and sena- tors, from several of the mining fields of the state, have closely questioned members of the corporation commission relative to circun1- stances surrounding the issuance of stock selling permits, and it IS conceded on all sides that the present Arizona Blue Sky Law will be amended by the present. legislature.
 Rehecting the legislative sentiment was the action taken by the corporation commis- sion, when it adopted a resolution providing that hereafter any investment permit applica ton would not be heard until seven days had elapsed after the date of it's filing. It should be stated, however, that such action on the part of the commission had been in con- temptation for some time past.
 The legislative hearing on permits here tofore granted 1t Is claimed in some quar- ters, may prove sensational, although along what lines, the sensation will result, has not been made clear It will be urged by the corporation commission that they be dele gated with wider range of authority than the Blue Sky Law in its present form per mits them to assume. Ten members of the legislature are stockholders in a concern which was recently prohibited from selling stock in California and publicly criticised by the California corporation commission, and which concern owned properties in the Ray District .i4agis ,.s

The indications are splendid for the build- ing of the Clifton -Springerville Forest High way. District Forester Reddington, with headquarters at Albuquerque, has recon1- mended to the Department of Agriculture that the Arizona apportionment from the Forest Highway Appropriation for road building for the next three years be expendr ed on the construction of this north and south highway through the Apache forest reservation. There is every reason to believe that the Secretary of Agriculture will adopt the recommendation of District Forester Red dington which was made after thorough and painstaking investigation. Honk!

The death of Admiral Dewey has brought from the people of the nation such universal expressions of admiration as to demonstrate that the American people do not under esti- mate the service of the heroes or their ob- gations to them. Dewey's name will go dowr in future as one who served his country faith fully.

The workmen of the Clifton-Morenc

The workmen of the Clifton-Morenci district of foreign extraction who are unable to speak the English language, are naturally the old Kinney Bill, in revised form, in the Arizona Senate. As this measure has the endorsement of the State Federation of La Dor, of which the foreign workingnen in this district are members, they are engaged at present in searching for the jewel of consis- tency.

Fisk Company Employees
Buy Liberty Bonds

AS proof that the manufacturers
of to-day are fully alive to the SER
iousness of the present national cri-
sis, comes news of the recent activi-
ties of the Fisk Rubber Company of
Chicopee Falls in behalf Of the Lib
erty Loan issue
This spirited concern i'm
mediately upon announcement that
the Liberty Bonds would be floated,
proposed a partial payment and in
stalment plan whereby it's employees
would be enabled to participate. 1t
agreed to purchase bonds in any sum
named on behalf of its employees,
permitting them to make reimburse
ment upon either one of two plans.
The first plan was made available to
salaried employees, the alternative
plan applied to those on the weekly
payroll. In both cases the payments
are distributed over a period of
nearly one year. For instance, an
employe wishing to buy a $50 bond
would make payment of s per week
until paid up.
Arrangements have been made
whereby all payments may
he refunded in case an employe
through illness or change of employ
ment becomes unable to continue
until the bond is fully paid up.
Up to this time $4,000 worth of
bonds in denominations from $50 to
81 900 have been subscribed by the
employees of the Fisk Rubber Com
pany. Nearly 500 individuals are
participating in this amount. The
Fish Company was among the first
of New Englands industrials to show
this commendable interest in the
country'S welfare.

FOOD SITUATION IN FRANCE
SERIOUS: BUTTER ST \ POUND

Paris, June A. Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-The food
question in France is regarded as
very serious. All the measures thus
far taken have failed to assure posi-
lively the required supply of bread to
carry the country over to the next
wheat crop, and the government has
just decided in a special cabinet
meeting to require important sacri-
fees.
No more pastry and no more crack
ers or biscuits will be made, except
for the army. after a date still to
be fixed. No more highly refined -four
will be tolerated. Every miller will
be obliged to have greater percent
age of bran in his output and even
tually cornmeal, rye or barley may be
mixed with the wheat -four to eke out
the supply.
The experiences of the past year in
France have shown the impossibility
of influencing economic conditions by
decree. The maximum selling price
of wheat was fixed al a price equival-
ent to S1.S5 a bushel, in order to
avoid an increase in the cost of bread.
The result was a great decrease in
wheat acreage; the farmers preferred
to sow oats and barley that were
not subject to any limitations and
brought better prices than wheat.
The retail price of butter in the
Paris market was fixed at the equiv
alent of 6S cents pound. Immediate
ly the receipts fell from forty-two
tons to less than nine tons a day.
The butter went to the British front
where 1t readily brought eighty cents
a pound.
The new minister of subsistence,
Maurice Violette, removed the limita-
tion and more butter arrived. but the
price went up to a dollar a pound
at retail.

new HARROUN A
SENSATIONALCAR
Local Man Drives It and Re-
turns From Detroit With
Report

That the new Harroun car Is sure
to create an even greater sensation
In motoring circles than 1t did dur
ing the national shows Is the firm
belief of Il. w. Shank. Harroun dis
tributor, who has just returned from
a flying visit to Detroit.
4 thorough test of the Harroun
car. and an inspection of the new
Harroun plants at Wayne, Detroits
western suburb, in company with the
director of merchandising. John j.
Rlath. were events of the visit.
It's "a great feeling to ride in
light. handy. four-cyllnder car that
Will throttle down to three miles an
hour on high gear and Will jump
from that TO Twenty-Five miles an
hour in fifty yards" declares Mr..
Shank.
It's great to roll along at fifty
miles an hour in a car that simply
loves to do it.
But. of all the wonderful engineer
ing features Ray Harroun has has
given the cars that bears his name,
It's sy-riding qualities were to me
the most amazing.
Il drove the car myself and pur-
posely shot 1t over rough railroad
crossing at better than thirty miles
jeunce we fully expected, the car kept
smoothly on its way. the. long canti-
levers absorbing the whole shock abb
solutely without rebound.
Those who saw the Harroun at
the national shows will note a num-
her of additions to its equipment,
prominent among which is a rear gas
oline tank with vacuum feed.
The big Harroun plants, two of
them are each a couple of city blocks
long, are already operating on the
preliminary production steps. Dur
ing my visit the machine equipment.
the most modern in the industry, was
in dress rehearsal.
Material are arriving in carloads
and We're being stored along the sides
of the assembly track. Hundreds of
men Were at work and plans for big
production were plainly very near full
tillment.
Detroit itself it's enthusiastic over
the Harroun enterprise. More than
10000 Detroiters. many of them in
the industry with other manufacture
ers, are stockholders in the corpor-
alton.
In the clubs and hotels. trade gos-
sip is all to the effect that the Har-
roun Mators Corporation is sure to
become in a very short time one of
the leading giants of the industry"
