TAXES ARIZONA DISTRICT FIR
 BRAENDER TIRES
New Tire Firm Locates At 439-41 West Washington Will Also Handle Big Accessory Line

'The Money Saver" is the firm name of a new tire establishment at 4Ss- 1 West Washington street which opened for business June 16. This firm has acquired the Arizona agency for the Braender tires and tubes as well as the local agency for many other automobile accessories.
 Braender products, although new in this locality have been on the market for eight years, during which time they have builded a wonderful reputation for endurance and durability.
 Among some of the notable records of these tires and tubes are those ac- uutred in open competition in the clas- sic automobile races of this country. Mulford, driving a Mercedes, the heavi- est car in the Indianapolis Sweepstakes races of 1913, finished the 5O0-mile grind without a single tire change. A few days later at Columbus, Muiford, driving Mason equipped with Braen- der tires, broke the worlds record for 200 miles by six minutes. Although subjected to a greater strain than in their previous victory, the four Braen- der tires completed the race without a tire change Many other records have heen effected by these tires, proving the dependable service and durable wear resisting qualities built into this brand
 Braender tires are said to be safe strong, speedy and dependable or track or road. A strong side wall, Q tough wear-resisting tread, built into complete tire by the wrapped tread single cure process, has served to pro- duce a quality tire equal to every emer. gency, declare the local representatives
 All Braender tires are one-half incl over size They are a guaranteed supel

SHORTAGE IF MOTOR
 CARS IS INEVITABLE STATES R. ). ROPER

In order to forestall what he con siders to be almost a certainty, namely, serious shortage of automobiles, R. D. Roper Of the R. D. Roper Motor company, has gone east and is visiting Chalmers, Maxwell and Oakland plants endeaToring to get delivery of these cars in sufficient quantities to meet the ever-g growing demand for them in Phoenix.
 Before leaving, Roper stated to rep resentative of The Republican that an analysis of the car situation convinces one that the car shortage of the en- tire western states will be felt more keenly this year than it was last sea son, even thougl the war at that time had greatly curtailed production.
 While the war was in progress we were all educated in making the old car do another season and for That reason the production of cacs, small as it was, was still sufficient to meet the lessened demand,n said Mir. Roper. However, the situation at this time is far different. As the result. of the 'Hooverizing on automobiles last sea- son the demand this year is far greater than normal. In addition to this the country is not only prosperous, but each and every person has a feel ing of eIation and optimism due to the victorious conclusion of the Great War, and knowledge of a work well done. Further than this it is to be re- membered that when the armistice was
 signed on November 11th, the middle
 western states were already in the throes of winter, when it was not pos
 sible to use automobiles. This spring ! was therefore the first opportunity that | the big bulk of the United States has l had to buy cars-and the demand has come like an avalanche upon the manu- | lecturers before they have been able to | get back to full production.
 'All this is resulting in a clamor from dealers much nearer the manufac- | turing centers than we are, so strong
 in fact that we who are thousands of
 miles away are placed in a precarious 1 position regarding delivery"
 Roper plans on being several months | in the east, most of which time will 1 be spent in Detroit, where the Chal-
 mers and Maxwell is manufactured and | in Pontiac, the home of the Oakland 1 Sensible Six. He hopes to keep in such
 close touch with the situation that
 he will be able to get cars in sufficient | quantities to fill the many orders now | being placed with him for future de- | liveries.
 During his absence c. c. Miller, for
 many years factory representative for
 the Maxwell is handling the manager ship of his organization. MT. Miller
 has been with the Roper Motor com pany practically since it was organized until he entered the service last year

SPARTACANS IN STRIKE

wEIMAR, Thursday. June 19.-CBy tke Associated ess.)-Weimar to- night is completely cut off from every communication with all sections os Gerlhany because of a suddenly called railway strike. Airplanes and the tele- graph are the only means Of communi- cation. Government circles see in the strike new Spartacan attempt against the government.
 The reason given for the strike is a demand for an increase in wages.
 Meanwhile, the German government and the various political leaders are held here until further notice. ma ,,ority of those here do not have suf- fleient clothing and fresh linen to last more than a day or two.

The fact that the big machine car ried six passengers makes the record even more spectacular. This feat was accomplished under the official obser- vation of the American Automobile Association control board in charge of the run
 More than that, the big Marmon made the entire distance on one quart of cylinder oil and established a re- cord of 14.6 miles for every gallon of gasoline consumed
 These records are so foreign to mo- tors of the Marmon type that they would undoubtedly be questioned had not the three A control board officially observed the same.

After receiving his discharge he was able to spend a few months at the different automobile factories before returning to Phoenix in time to take the managerial position during MT. Roper's absence. MT. Miller is extreme ly optimietic over the business outlook and states that in having Chalmers, Maxwell and Oaklands for distribution here, the public in gteater percentage than ever before will accept these standard high class cars as their choice
 Those policies that have been so largely instrumental in building up the business of the R. D. Roper Motor com pany will be adhered to faithfully dur ing the absence of MT. Roper.

tire, larger and stronger than the regular sized tires, the dealers state.
 There is but one tread in Braender tires, tread that combines all three tread features of other makes of tires. They are known as the sunken non skid, combining all the features of the rib tread, smooth tread and non-skid tread, it is stated. The Braender com pany does not make a smooth tread tire.
 Braender tires are popular priced tires, both cord and fabric. They are hand made from start to finish. E. D. Divinia is manager of the local headquarters.
 They are constructed of zinc treated white rubber, which is known for its durability. The Braender company has specialized on cord tires. The local

BUDGETS WILL
Be SIGNEDAT
WHITE HOUSE
Rumor That Money Bills Will
Get Presidents Signature at
= Sea Unfounded.

Neither the District appropriation
bill, third deficiency bill, nor the sun
dry civil bill will be signed before
president Wilson arrives at the White
House, tomorrow night or Wednesday
morning, IL was definitely learned to-
day.
Reports that bills passed by Con-
gress and now awaiting the signature
of the Chief Executive would be sent
out on ship to sea for the President
to sign have no official foundation, II
was stated.
The general belief that all OF the
bills would be sent to New York was
discredited today by high Government
officials.
Arrival Uncertain.
At the White House today il could
not be ascertained when the President
was expected to arrive in Washing
. ton. However. Immediately after he
reaches here all bills will be presented
TO the President for his signature.
The delay in the signing of the bill
Is greatly embarrassing District Of
hcials, as ii is necessary for them to
continue to ask credit in order to buy
necessary maintenance supplies.
1t was thought possible the bill
might be signed tonight. Not before
Wednesday can the District begin ex-
pending money provided in these bills.
Carries Teaehers' Pay.
The deficiency bill carries with it a
$6s,ooO appropriation for school teach
ers. This money is longevity pay due
the teachers, because of a shortage Of
funds during May and June
The teachers will be paid Wednes-
day, according to District officials.
The sundry civil bill carries in il an
appropriation of $4,000 for engineers
for the water and sewerage pumping
station. The engineers at these places
were forced on July ] to return TO the
statutory payroll, which meant to
them a loss Of 5000 a year. This ap-
preparation is preventing the men re-
signing their jobs to seek another po-
sition. where the pay Is more ade-
Quate.
