ADVANCE TEST OF BUDGET

in which appropriation bills are to be
handled at the session OF congress be-

will be ono large appropriations COM

This Is one OF the main principles of
the budget system OF national expcndi-

houses at the last session of congress

territory which formerly was SUD- piled through Los Angeles.
 "EI Paso did a large jobbing busi- ness in Arizona but rapidly is yield found it more advantageous to dis tribute from this city" the report of the chamber of commerce continues.
 Tractor Center
 Phoenix has for years been dis tributing point for motor vehicles, and with the coming of cotton as the first crop the tractor has been handled almost exclusively through Phoenix. No city in the west does a larger busi- ness in the jobbing of farm imple- ments than Phoenix This city has pioneered the state in this respect. Out of the Salt River valley has grown such farm implement jobbing busi- area in Arizona, New Mexico. and parts of California. Several of the larger wholesale hardware houses are found in Phoenix, with branches in various parts of the state If it is a farm implement. it is certain to have reached the farm by way of Phoenix or these branches.
 Lumber. like hardware centers in Phoenix, with branch houses in all parts of the state. Lumber is an inn mense business in any state and the central jobbing point for lumber in the state must or necessity De an 1n1- portant commercial city.
 Dry goods, clothing and the like have Phoenix for their jobbing center for no other reason than that Phoenix is the logical point, commercially and geo. graphically. Los Angeles, Fl Paso, Denver or even New York have served their purpose in Arizona and have left the field to be handled by large local wholesale merchants.
 All Roads Lead to Phoenix
 Merchants have seen that all roads of commercial Arizona lead to Phoe- nix; they have seen that here is the

Shipments which formerly arrived by local freight, involving extra handl- ing charges, now reach Phoenix in carload lots. Money is being saved for communities throughout the state and they are being better served, and. instead of contributing to the growth of Los Angeles, Denver and Fl Paso shnd other points as jobbing centers. Arizona is building up an industrial and distributing center within its own borders
 Difficult to Estimate
 According to the chamber of com merce. it is impossible to estimate the quantity and value of goods now be- ing distributed from Phoenix.
 Phoenix has for some time been a Jobbing point but not until the last few years has it made any marked progress and not until very recently has it loomed forth a big factor in the advancement of the city," says a \ report by the chamber of commerce. The position of Phoenix is such as to make-it an easy point of distribu- ton. Goods which formerly were sold here through travelling salesmen from remote sections of the United States are now jobbed from here to all points In the central southwest, especially in Arizona
 One of the most recent additions to Phoenix is a wholesale drygoods . firm which distributes through this { territory $1,000, 900 in goods a year. Another wholesale dry goods firm is efilarging it's establishment to meet rapidly growing needs
 Among the merchandise jobbed from Phoenix is shelf and heavy hardware. groceries. woodenware, clothing, drugs and machinery. Two large drug firms have come to Phoenix since January I, 1920. These firms are now build ing their own places of business and are completely equipped to handle the drug jobbing business of the entire

placed by local dealers.
 It is only the impossibility of secur- ing shipments which keeps the auto mobile industry of Phoenix from be- ing the leading retail business of the city.
 Phoenix Must Take Lead When I first came to Phoenix. was not particularly impressed said r. R. Helm, manager of the Pratt Gilbert company, the big wholesale chinery concern. But now I believe we are only on the threshold of our advancement. When I came to Phoe- nix there was no water for irrigation all was desert. sand and sagebrush. and didn't know what was the real value of the territory. Then the min eral and agricultural value of the country began to dawn upon me.
 We have the greatest mineral-pro ducing state in the Union. and most of the mines are within 15n miles of Phoenix, surrounding it. We are To- cated. as to the mineral territory, very much as Salt Lake City lies in rela
 ton to her territory. but we have many times the mineral output to draw from Phoenix has not devel- oped jobbing and catering to the min ing trade-we've only started. Agricultural conditions in Arizona are we'll known, but doubt if any of
 
 ture in this state will be. But apart from those jobbers who cater to agri- culture and mining. many others are centering here, and anyone doing a iobbing business will acknowledge that his business has grown many times Developing a jobbing business here is not a sordid usiness proposition; 1t means the development of a great in dustrial community, a big city; 1t means giving to the people a service which other big communities give their residents. and at the same time saving them money.
 "I repeat that don't think we fully realize what is ahead of us. We have the greatest mines in the world, an extensive stock of interests and the richest agricultural lands to be found anywhere. and practically the only part of the United States with large areas running into millions of acres of undeveloped land. much of which will be reclaimed. Ultimately. I am con- fident, we will have one of the great est agricultural states in the country. And in that development Phoenix must not only do her part, but must take the lead.''
