TIRES ''DEFLATED?'
WHEN ARE SOLID

When does it pay to re-equip truck
with solid tires? Involved in the correct
answer to this question is a considera-
ton of the real function which a tire is
caffed on to perform.
The purpose of the rubber tire is to
absorb the shocks and potts of the road.
When it ceases to perform that duty a
new tire should be put on. II the old
tire is kept on too long the expense of OBJ
Grating the truck will increase unduly.
repair costs will mount up and depre-
citation will proceed at too fast a rate.
After careful tests the United States
Tire company advises users of its solid
tires to get new tires when the old ones
have worn to within one inch of the lip
of the channel of the steel base. The
only exception is in the, case of small
sizes where the load is not so heavy and
where wear may be permitted to proceed
a little closer to the steel base
There is need for discrimination in the
buying of solid tires just as in the
buying of tires for passenger cars. The
ideal solid tire is one whose rubber
compound gives a tough, resilient wear
ing surface down to the last minute OF
its usefulness. Rubber that is too soft
tire bills soaring. The new solid tire of
been built into it." and "A tire can be
no better on the road than it is in the

DEALERS NEEDING
FREIGHT SHORTAGE
Continued Prompt Unloading Will
Help Avert Serious Situation

Despite the fact that there is a
marked increase in the demand for light
and heavy trucks for freight transpor-
tation purposes, owing to the shortage
of freight cars: motor car manufactur-
ers are showing no disposition to relent
in the vigorous campaign against I'M
necessary delays in loading and unload
ing freight cars. Every effort is being
made to facilitate the quick return Of
"empties" to the manufacturing centers
and to hurry the repair work on the thou
sands of cars not in service.
That the campaign Is already proving
effective is indicated by the unusual
abundance of cars available in Detroit
within the last week.
This is by no means an indication
that the danger of a great car short
age is past, however" said an official
of Dodge Bros, one of the largest ship
pers in the automobile manufacturing
district. 'It is merely a temporary eff
feet of circumstances, in which the cam
paign of the director general of the rail-
road administration was an important in
fluence. He has issued repeated warn
ings Of a shortage and urged prompt
loading, unloading and return of cars, in
which the manufacturers have given thor
ough cooperation, and this has had its
effect. Unless we continue to emphasize

Control of Ice Plants Denied.

1t will be good news to the peo-
pie of the state that the legisla-
ture killed the bill proposing to
put control of the ice plants in
the hands of the corporation COM
mission. 1t is all we can do to
pay our ice bills under private
control. but if they could have
their prices regulated by the COM
mission a lot of.peopIe would have
to dispense with the luxury of
having ice in their family refrig-
orators. The first thing the COM
mission would decide that the
present rates were too high, and
would proceed at once to apply
their celebrated sliding scale as
the true means of reducing rates,
and we will have a schedule of
one cent per pound for the first
ten pounds, ffteen-sixteenths for
the next ten, seven-eighths for
the next ten, with continuation
of this gradual reduction until
100 pounds was reached at one
half cent pound. This would
affect saving of few cents
to the restaurants, markets, and
soda fountains, and increase the
rate on seven hundred families
that only use twenty-five to fifty
pounds day. This is the cor
poration commissions idea of
serving the people. We are sur
prised the legislature did not pass
the bill.

Democratic Pow-wow.

The chairman of the state dem.
ocratic committee has issued E
call for a meeting of the faithful
at Phoenix, at 10 O'Clock q. M,
March 9Th, and extends an invi.
tation to all the democratic fed
eral, state, county and precinct
officers to be present on the occa-
sion, as business of great import
ance will be transacted. The old
democratic ship must be shifting
ballast and in danger of going on
the rocks, that a hurry-up appeal
is made by the political managers
at this season with no campaign
in sight for eighteen months.

Tough on Check Artists.

A bill has been passed by the
legislature, and sent to the gov
ernor for his signature, which
will make life hard shedding for
the check artist. The bill pro-
vides that it is a felony for any
person to give a check on a bank
when there are not funds suffi-
cient in the bank to cover the
amount, and the drawer will have
five days grace in which to cover
funds into the bank to protect
the check, and failure to do so
may subject the party to term
OF five years in the penitentiary.
This will put a crimp in a lot of
people who have the habit well
developed Of writing checks on
banks where they have no funds,
as the easiest way of getting
money, and then let the holder
of the check await their pleas
ure Of being reimbursed, and
perhaps may never get it. Max
ing checkwriting a felony will
put an end to such work.
The senate has also passed a
bill levying a yearly tax on dogs
ST.. 90 ON males, and $500 on
females. 1t is hoped the bill will
reduce the number.

Merchants War Tax Collectors.

Under the provisions of the
new war revenue bill the respon-
sibility for collecting the stipulat-
ed war tax upon certain articles
is placed upon the retail mer-
chant, who must make remit
tances to the government.
The bill places tax of 10 per
cent on carpets and rugs, pocket
books, purses, portable lighting
fixtures, lamps. shades, um brel-
las, parasols, sun shades, wom-
ems and misses hats, mems and
boys hats, mems and boys caps,
neckties and neckware, mems
and boys silk stockings and hose:
women's and misses silk stock
ing and hose, women's boys and
misses pajamas, night gowns,
and underwear and kimonas, pet.
ticoats and waists, sold in excess
of certain prices, which are fully
set forth in the measure.
The ten per cent tax imposed
by this section of the bill must
be paid by the purchaser to the
vendor at the time of the sale,
and the tax must be RENTED by
the vendor to the government.
Under this rule it will be nee
essary for every clerk to be fa-
miliar with the war tax due on
each article sold that the same
may be added to the customer s
bill, because failure to collect the
tax not only means a direct loss
to the firm, but it may lead to
a prosecution for refusing to
comply with the law.

New Election Bill.

House Bill No. "a has been in
troduced by request by Mr.. How
ard, of Gila, which makes a rad.
ical change in the primary law.
The passage of this law would
bring back the old convention
system for the nomination Of
county and state officers by dele
gates selected from the several
precincts and the county. The
primary system under this law
applies only to the election of the
delegates. The bill ought to pass,
but there is no chance. The
present legislature, which is dem
ocratic as all preceding legisla-
lures have been since statehood,
will only consider such changes
in the primary and election laws
that will help the democratic
party without any thought of
justice or equity. Just wherein
the legislature derives its power
to regulate political parties in
their organization, or direct when
and where they shall meet, and
how they shall proceed to nomi-
nate their candidates, is one of
the problems that is hard to un-
derstand.

owners, and the result is that

Elks' Ceremonial.

Last Saturday afternoon and
evening was the big day in the
history Of Winslow Lodge 536,
B. P. O. Elks, and little Of the
outside performance that was
vouchsafed to the general public
gave at least an inkling of the
hilarious time that was later to be
held behind closed doors. About
4:3O p m. the iron posts support
ing the awning over the Kelly
Drug Co. store were each deco
rated with a one of the choice
candidates securely tied, so they
could be found later when need
ed to put on the balance of
the show. This proceeding drew
a goodly number of spectators,
who improved the opportunity to
express themselves about the VIC
tins.
About $50 p. m. the circus be-
hind closed doors began, in the
presence of more than a hun
dred members of the order, many
of them from outside the city,,
gathered here for the initiation
ceremonies. Forty-three candi-
dates were inducted into the
mysteries of the order, and one
of the most pleasing features of
the evening was the Exalted Ru-
ler's address delivered by Dis
trict Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
Herndon. of Prescott, The cere-
mony was held in the Electric
theatre in order to accommodate
the members, and have room to
handle the candidates IN a man
ner beftting the distinguished
company. The work was con-
Guided about $50 o. m. and a re-
cess was taken for supper, and
to give the candidates time to
put themselves into a presenta-
BILE condition for the ball and ban
quet which followed.
At $3.50 p. m. the scenes in the
theater was changed from a lodge
to ball room, resplendent with
dress suits and evening gowns,
and the few remaining hours of
the day were given over to dane
ing. A pleasant feature of the
evening, that was equally sur
prising, was the appearance of
three entertainers from Phoenix,
who gave their special numbers
at intervals through the dance
program. At the midnight hour
the company adjourned to the
Elks' hall, where a most elabor-
ate banquet was spread, complete
in the most exacting detail from
soup to nuts, and beautifully serv-
ed with corps of trained wait
ers.
It was the big day in Elkdom,
and the members are anticipat-
ing the time when the program
complete can be repeated with
the next class.
The Elks lodge had contributed
$25. 90 to the Armenian relief
fund, and during the initiation
ceremonies silver collection was
taken, realizing $500 more for
the cause. This is the Elk spirit
and accounts for the growing
popularity of the order.
