Editorial
 By reference to the act approved February 13, 1879. to aid in the con struction of a. railroad from Maricops4 via Phoenix to Prescott. we find that bonds to the amount of S150.0OO are to be issued by Maricopa county and S25O,o00 by Yavapai county. These bonds are to bear interest at the rate of 10 percentum and are to be payable in twenty years. As fast as ten miles of the road is built in Maricopa coun- ty the supervisors are required to is sue $30.0o0 in bonds until the whole sum is made up. The supervisors are left without discretion in the matter and are required under penalty of a fine of $500 and dismissal from office to issue the required bonds and are also liable for damages sus- tained by any party from his or her failure The company availinS itself of the provisions of the act are re- quired to" actually commence con struction of the said road within 12 months of the filing of such accept ance and map and shall build said railroad to the town of Phoenix two years from the date of filing such ac- ceptance, and a t least 30 miles every year thereafter unGl the same is com pleted." The secret of the farce now being enacted in the way of construc- ton is to comply with this provision of the act. The filing was made on tHe SdtHe udN as US approval VIZ February 13, 1879. Hence it was nee essary to have the road under con struction prior to Friday of the present week or the whole franchise was to be hopeleSsly lost. Of course. within couple of days after the 18th they will be gone, as we ventured in the way of prediction yesterday
 It would be we'll to remember our distinguished fellow townman, MT. c. H. Gray, who immortalized himself by foisting this piece Of legislation upon his constituents as a member of the territorial legislature. It will be pleasant bit of our county history and of the personal history of this jealous guardian of the peoples interests.

In his hurry he got them on backward. His partner yelled to him. "Pat are ye kilt?" He replied, Nav. Mike.

GIVES LECTURE
 IN EXPLOSIVES
Efficiency Engineer Gives Interesting Talk on
 Breaking Ground

1 A lecture on Explosives and Their Use" one of the most interesting in the Copper Queen practical mining | course, was delivered yesterday to the 1 classes at the Y. M. c. A. by F. D. ! La ie, efficiency engineer for the Cop per Queen mines. The speaker gave a | thorough exposition of the accepted
 practice in the use of explosives and | explained in detail the reasons for this ! practice and the results obtained. A l few extracts from his lecture are giv-
 en below
 "PeCuliar results are obtained in breaking ground with high explosives when there is but one free face. It is | due probably to lack of the realiZa- ton of the important factors which determine the results of a bIast. TOT instance, tough ground is easIfy brok-
 en if properly drilled, loaded and fired, | but it is very difficult to break if 1t is
 not done.
 Ut is common belief that expioslves shoot in a certain direction, that stemming is valueless and that the
 concentration of powder is ineffective this is all pure bunk" ana cc-l be proven to be such by few simple eX- peTiments.
 The prime requisite in breaking
 ground is to drill hole through
 mathematical or theoretical point and ! to confine, concentrate and detonate a
 charge around this point so that it will produce the greatest effect.
 ''The factors which enter into the
 breaking of ground (and these are the
 results of eXperiment) arc: Knowl-
 edge Of the character oI Jae rock, the
 proper size bore.hole, the proper selec- tion of the round and explosive, the
 proper concentration and detonation
 of the explosive, the use of stemming
 and the double or "V'' cut to make the initial advance.
 Explosives used underground in the Copper Queen are gelatine dyna-
 mite and ammonia dynamite extra | These powders are made in cartridges 7s inch, inch and IF inch in diame- ter and inches long, the sizes to con l form with the different size bore holes made by different gauges or steel used.
 The force of an explosive, whether q single chemical compound or a me chanical mixture depends on the sud denness with which the gases arc lib- erated, on the amount of gases liberat- cd and on the temperature developed by the explosive. In combustible eX- | plosiveS, the rapidity of the combus- | ton varies greatly. | tion varies greatly

NTEWS OF THE STATE 4 v FROM THE LATE WIRE1
TAXPAYERS WHO PAY CARRY BIG EXCESS BURDEN

PHOENIX, Feb. 1S.-- Arizona tax.
 payers, who really nay, are carrying
 $l,OO0,000 burden imposed upon
 them by the taxpayers who do not pay,
 according to figures just submitted by the state tax cOmmissionm to show that the delinquent tax bill that has been accuulating during the last five years now amounts to S954, ,557.16. Maricopa county is the worst offender, with burden amounting to S297, ,O69. 40 the statement shows.
 The figures represent the total de- linQuency of state. county, city and town taxes, including the delinquents to the first installment of the 1919 taxes that was due on the first Mon day of last November, and the figures are computed from the date of January 5, 1920.
 The state has an assessed valuation of 1855, 100000, according to the com mission, and in 1919 it collected from all sources s13,56S,5 ,592S7 as the amount budgeted to handle the state expenses.
 Out of whatever amount was delin- quent in 1915. the sum of $56,123.62 re- mains unpaid, or did on January ,, 1920. The unpaid remainder from 1916 amounted last month to $T4,5S1.7S The 1917 balance stood at $127 ,923.3 Of the 1918 tax bill, there reains un- paid 314,756.64, The first installment for 1919, still unpaid, amounted to $SS1,171.74, making a delinquency bur den of almost .$1,00O,O0 for the five year period.
 The tabulated figures show a gen. eral tendency toward better collec- tions in the mining counties. as against the agricultural counties, it was said. Santa Cruz county had 2 total delinquency for the five year De riod amounting to $113,4394 which | is explained largely by the fact that the ownership of tract there known ! as the "Bacca float" had been in dis i pute and as the ownership recently ! was decided in the courts, it is ex- ! pected that the tax delinquency there will be settled soon.

TUCSON, Ariz.. Feb. 1S.-Senator Marcus A. Smith, of Arizona, in his first speech in his present trip to Arizona, came out for state control of grazing lands in the forest re- serve. here this afternoon in an ad- dress at the convention of the Ari- zona Cattle Growers association.
 Judge G. w. Shute. of Gila country. declared he was sick of government by commission.

Here, he said, the cry had been rais- ed for regulation of the corporations. As result came the corporation commission, and now a man could not drive an automobile to q depot as business without asking per mission.

BUYERS CANCEL ORDERS
All Business Affected, Chamber of Com.
mercc Reports.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Final analysis
of the investigation of contract cancella-
tions made by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States shows that almost
every phase of business is affected. In
one division of the lumber industry alone,
cancellations have amounted to 1900
900 feet since January, or more than $500
cars. The survey reveals that these
cancellations were largely by buyers.
There has been a tendency to pyramid
orders for paper, predicted on low pro-
duction, these orders later being cancelled
after deliveries began to improve. Again
there has been considerable cancelling
where prices decline, working considerable
injury TO the manufacturer who has been
reluctant TO stand on his legal rights.
There are many cancellations IN cloth
ing, based on the fear that the public will
not buy, induced by the general publicity
attacking present prices, but only a modcr-
ate number of cancellations In women
wear
Cancellations in products of the pressed
metal trades are largely on account oi
manufacturers using these products re
vlsing their manufacturing schedules
particularly the automobile makers. Ar
unusual number of silk cancellations is re
ported, due to conditions in this line that
have been gwen considerable publicity

Special Session of Legislature Will
Ratify Amendment Without
Delay, They Predict.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 4.--Suhrage
workers in the State predict that the Con-
necticut Legislature will ratify the Nine
teenth Amendment at the special session
starting September IA, and thus keep IT
in the Constitution, despite Tennessee S
withdrawal of its ratification.
"The Legislature is decidedly IN favor
of the measure" said Katherine Luding-
ton, president of the State Suffrage As
sociation. MANY members have ex-
pressed chagrin at the delay IN calling
the special session. OF course, we are
not worried about Tennessee. The amend
ment has been passed and proclaimed 10y
the Secretary of State and cannot b'
rescinded.
The September IA session was mo-
technically called to consider ratification
of the Nineteenth Amendment. Wher
Governor Holcomb issued his proclama
tion Tennessec's action was regarded as
final According 10 his proclamation, th'
special session is TO consider measure
to leglize balloting and registration

SAYS GOVERNMENT ONLY
CAN KEEP PRICES DOW \
War Time Control of Coal Fav-
ored by w. Jelt Lanck of
United Mine Workers.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Resturation Of
wartime control over railroads., coal, food
and other necewaries alone can prevent
high prices from soaring, w. Jett Lauck,
consulting economist, has declared
He said high prices have not yet
reached the peak, and would mount as
winter approached unless the Government
took control.
''Unless living conditions are amelio-
rated" he warned, widespread indus
trial conflict may result. The greatest
menace with which the country is con-
fronted today arises from the pressure
of living costs on the great mass of wage
workers in the basic industries.
sDuring the hearing of the wage case
Of the railroad unions last May ! told
the Railroad Labor Board that family
Of five required q minimum annual in
come Of 81, 500 to live in any sort OF
comfort. At the present scale OF prices
n family of five needs more than 81, 7OO
year. The price of coal should be re-
duced at least 81 .S5 per ton as result
of the wage award OF the Anthracite
Coal Commission. but any talk that coal
prices will drop is deception. We may
expect exorbitant coal prices next win
ter.
Even with their 81, 500, ,OO0, 900 rate
increase, the railroads cannot restore
efficient operation. They are TOO far
gone for rehabilitation under private
ownership.
