ical party which puts plank In its

counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, de-
clarcd to-day in warning that opposi
ton to the prohibition amendment will
be vigorously fought by the "drys."
Even wet leaders, Mr.. Wheeler
continued, admit they cannot elect
two-thirds of Congress to resubmit the
question this next year. Every candi-
date who pledges his vote to provide

courages lawlessncss. Tho definition

forcement and encouraging law viola

fore the people on that issue?"
Discussing possible referendum by
states, Mr. Wheeler said:
Since the recent decision in Colo

leaves thirty-seven states sure, even
counting Ohio out, which we do not

a chance for q referendum now, even
# the courts hold it legal, are Nevada,
Oklahoma, Missouri, California, Michi-
gan, Nebraska and New Mexico. The
other states having referendum pro-
visions require the petitions to be filed
within certain number of days. This
prevents petitions from being filed in
The states like Utah, Idaho and some
others, where it is now too late. In
Maine, Arkansas, Colorado and Oregon
the courts have declared the referendum
Illegal. In Ohio the recount indicates
clearly that the vets will lose. even
there. In Washington, while the courts
sustained the validity of the rcfercn-

I'VE are confident that part Of these

Additions to Cost

Says Pres. Blumenthal

George Blumenthal, president of
Mount Sinai Hospital. In his annual re-
port yesterday to tho board Of trus-
tees, referred to the great advance in
the cost of building operations and
running expenses as one of the chief
problems the institution has had to
meet.
Ground was broken week ago for
the new buildings which are to occupy
all the remaining space on the grounds,
bounded by <Nnety-ninth and I01st
Streets. The original estimate Of
$2,000,000 as the cost Of these struc-
lures had been increased to $3,250,000,
Mr.. Blumcnthal said
One of them is a private pavilion,
with rooms for 1877 patients, a memorial
helm, established by their sons. Ris-
ing costs had forced the donors, Mr..
Blumenthal made known, to increa Sc
their gift by $250,000, making a total
of S609,000 for the addition and
$1,000,O00 calculating the cost of the
present pavilion.
The president of the board expressed
qualification over the return of all
those members OF the hospital dispen-
sary and surgical staff who had been in

ARIZONA BANKS SHOW
 RAISE IN RESOURCES

The combination resources of the state and national banks in Arizona total nearly $1OO,OOO, ,OOO, according to the report of Jesse l.. Boyce, state superintendent of banks, on their con dition as on June 30, the end of the fiscal year. The report shows total resources for state banks, S65, ,237,- 321.S2, this being an increase of near ly $12,000,000 over last year. The national banks have total resources amounting to $34,561 ,27249, an in- last year. The exact figure for the total combined resources of state and national banks is $99, 9,594.31 rep resenting an increase of $20,379,- 363.09 for the year.
 The deposits in state banks amount to $55 5,46S, ,307.55 and the national banks $2S,417,455.04 giving total of $S3,885, ,763.36 which is an increase of nearly $17,000,0OO over last year.
 The loans of state banks amount to $41 ,202, ,513.69, and the national banks $21 ,01S,016.44, giving a total of $62,- 220,530.13, which is an increase of over $20,00O,O00 over last year.

Tire Costs in 1910 and in 1920

Car owners who are holding back on the purchase of tire equipment in the hope of a reduction in prices are likely to be disappointed. There is nothing in the tire manufacturing sit Nation to indicate downward trend of tire costs.
 On the contrary, a "break" that will necessarily mean the advancing of prices seems inevitable. A resume of the tire industry and the conditions under which it has de- veloped in the last decade, causes the casual observer to wonder, in fact, that tire prices have not already be- gun to climb steadily.
 Unless one studies carefully the un- deriving reasons for the successful checking of tire prices in the face. Of overwhelming advances in virtually every other commodity, it is rather amazing to note that prices now are much lower than they were ten years ago. It is still more interesting to compare prices of standard manufac- ture tires today with prices of the same product at the beginning of the war. Good tires now cost nor more than in 1914. There has not even been an appreciable' advance in the last two years. And yet the quality is higher and the purchaser gets more value for his money than ever before.
 When one considers that prices of raw material, labor and transporta- tion have made more tremendous leaps in the last five years than dur ing any period in manufacturing his tory the natural query concerning the manufacturers is, "How do they hold down the prices"?
 And from this question comes the answer to another, "Will the prices go down.?
 It does not appear that decrease is likely.
 Manufacturing genius, which has

educational institutions come in for nearly half the entire sum, while the appropriation estimated as necessary for the session of the next legislature was fixed at $75,OOO.
 Charles R. Howe, member of the state tax commission, to which the budget was submitted, said he had not yet studied the document, but that in his opinion, an appropriation for $500,O00, asked for by the voca- tional department of the state was exorbitant. He said that while he understood that the work had grown, he said he did not believe it had ex- banded to such an extent that Dr. R. H. H. Blome, director, should ask for so large an amount in addition to the fund received from the federal government. The appropriation last year was $182,0O0.
 The new budget total was declared by officials to be considerably lower than for the fiscal year ending June 30 last.
 The state board of equalization will readjust property assessments as may be deemed necessary and fix the state tax rate.

Ramsdell Challenges
 WOrsley

While it may not be sensational and not result in the loss of good, red blood, it nevertheless is a fact that w. R. Ramsdell has challenged A. A. Worsley to a contest that will show the metal of both men in the forensic arena. That Worsley is real talk CT and that Ramsdell seeks to take away from him the prestige that the veteran state senator has gained in many bitter forensic frays, is eviden- ced by the challenge issued from the home of Ramsdell in Tucson and that it may be accepted by Worsley is al so more than certain. The two men are striving for the support of the factions headed by the non-partisan league and the farmer vote at the forthcoming primary election. MT. Ramsdell in his challenge overlooks bet or two, in that there are other candidates besides Mark Smith and Wossley who may not be overlooked. These are Messrs. Norton and Stan ford, who, of course, will have some following among all classes. So we would advies the gentlemen to refrain from heating up the atmosphere by lurid displays of verbiage until the Arizona climate will readily assimi- late the hot stuff.

ARIZONA TAX BUDGET
 MILLIONS FOR YEAR

The net amount to be raised by tax levy in June. 30, 1921, is $4,1s1, ,696.O4, according to the annual budget com- piled by State Auditor Jesse E. Boyce for submission to the state commits sion. The commission will next Mon day begin it's sittings as a state board of equalization and will be guided to some extent by the budget.
 Total appropriations amount to $4,- 6S1 ,696.04, but there is to be $5O0,- 900 deduction, because of the balance of $1O00O0 in the state treasury, and because of revenue and sources out side the state, it was said at the aud itor's office. This is the first time in the history of the state that there has been a balance in the treasury's general fund at the time of making for the following year, Auditor Boyce pointed out.

ARIZONA LEADS IN
 ASBEST0SPR0DUCT|ON

Arizona is noted as the largest pro ducer of copper among the states of the Union, but it is not generally known that this state also ranks first in production Of asbestos.
 And Gila county leads other coun- ties of the states in both products.
 The total quantity of asbestos sold in the United States in 1919 was 1902 tons, of which 420 tons came from Arizona, and nearly all of it from the region forty miles northeast of Globe, where the Arizona Asbestos associa- tion on Ash creek, and the American Ores and Asbestos company, in the Sierra Ancha at the head of Pocket creek, are the principal operators. Al number of smaller producers and and shippers considerably increased the total output in 1919. There is also a small area in the Grand Can yon from which limited output was made in 1919.
 Thus far asbestos has been mined in any considerable quantity only in that part of Arizona's asbestos field near Globe, on Ash and Cherry creeks, and in the Sierra Ancha. The forma- tions that contain asbestos lie nearly flat and extend eastward into the Fort Apache and San Carlos Indian reservations, where asbestos mining is not yet permitted, although steps have been taken by the government to make these deposits available to meet the needs of the country. A party sent out by the United States geological survey, department of the interior, is now examining these de- posits to determine their availability as a national resource Two val uable deposits of asbestos on Indian lands are already known, one on Cibe- cue creek, in the Fort Apache reser- vation, and the other in Bear canyon, in the San Carlos reservation.
 There is growing interest in the Arizona fiber among asbestos manu- lecturers in the United States, and the output from the mines near Globe is increasing.
 The demands for asbestos spinning fiber has in the years grown unusu- ally strong, and this demand, coupled with the fact that the United States is largely dependent on Canada for high-grade asbestos, has enabled the asbestos syndicate of Canada, which controls most of the worlds supply, to fix prices for the fabrics of asbes- tos by those outside of the syndicate unprofitable. Thus American manu- lecturers who do not own Canadian mines are at a great disadvantage. For these reasons much attention has been given to the search for spinning fiber in South Africa and in the Unit ed States to meet the increasing de- mands. The results are encouraging.

about reached it's limit has kept down the cost to the tire user. The stan dard manufacturer has combated price increases by developing his pro- cesses. He has expended millions of dollars in the installation of new ma chinery, better machinery and new methods. He has brought his output up to maximum and has made his profits on a quantity margin. He has smashed overhead expenses by use of these weapons and by putting his dis tribution on such a broad basis as to make it economical.
 Output has about reached it's zen ith. So long as demand continues strong there is possibility that tire prices will remain on their present level. But if a general determination to "hold out" should spread among car-owners it is more than probable that such an attitude would tend to create a reverse effect to the one de- slider and send tire prices rocketing.
 An illustration of the surprising facts recited here may be obtained from the following table of price comparisons compiled recently by a leading tire and rubber company. AL though this table, of course, shows only the quotations of that particular company, it may be accepted as an average because the company is con sidered one of the leaders in the in dustry and is standard manufactur- ing concern.
