In an effort to eXpediate the matter at that end I wired Mir. Barnwen.
 The papers have since reached Wash ington, and I recently called upon the railroad administration, going into the matter fully with them and directing their particular attention to similar concessions which have been granted to Nevada and California, as we'll as the rates maintained in other states. as cited in your letter. They strongly contended that as this cement will not begin to move until after March l. 1920. at which time the railroads will be returned to private ownership, they should not make any further reduc- tions in rates on tonnage that will not move during the life of the present railroad administration, preferring rather to allow the applications, of this kind to be taken up with the in terested carriers subsequent to March l. after which time the administration will cease to function.
 | pointed out to them their incon- sistency in this respect considering the reductions on rock, sand and gravel which have already been approved for the Maricopa County Highway com mission, which traffic as I understand will likewise not move until after March l, but they stated that their former action in this matter did not justify them in assuming the respon- sibility for similar concessions at this late udIe. 1neS dSSQIeu IIlt+ nOM6A6l- it was not their intention to have it construed that their reluctance at this time in approving these reduced rates on cement would operate against or prejudice the rights of the highway commission to renew their application with the respective carriers when the shipments began to move, as under the act to regulate commerce the car riers are not required to publish spec ial rates made for the benefit of fed eral, state or county governments, and such reductions can be faYorably acted upon and protected on short notice when the roads are again under pri- Vate control.
 I am very disappointed with the arbitrary attitude and apparent lack of cooperation which characteriZeS the action of the railroad administration in this matter as disclosed by the at tached letter, particularly so, in view of the justification Of this concession and the extent to which it would in sure to the public benefit, which facts I strongly urged upon them.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION. MAKES PUBLIC SOME.
 FACTS AND FIGURES.

The Maricopa County Highway com mission made public yesterday a letter from Representative Carl Hayden in which MT. Hayden tells of his in effectual efforts to secure a reduction in the freight rates on cement to points in Arizona, consistent at least with the reduction in the freight rate on rock, sand and gravel.
 In his letter MT Hayden states that he is very much disappointed with the arbitrary attitude and apparent lack of cooperation which characterizes the action of the railroad administra- ton in this matter"
 He adds that it is the policy of the railroad administration to defer ap plications for rate reductions until after March l. when the administration will cease to function. Applications will then be made to- the interested carriers. Here is his letter:
 MT. E. Hackett, Chairman,
 Maricopa County Highway Com.
 Phoenix.
 My Dear MT. Hackett:
 I am in receipt of your letter of December 29th, and regret to note from your remarks that you feel there has been a derelection on my part in properly cooperating with the Mari copa County Highway commission in regard to the readjustment of rates on cement to Arizona points. The fact of the matter is that immediately upon receipt of your former letter, I talked with the railroad administration and found that your application was still in the hands of MT. Barnwen at San Francisco and they were therefore unable to intelligently go into the mat ter with me until the necessary papers arrived in Washington.
 It was suggested that I transmit your letter to the railroad administra- tion which they would consider pend ing the receipt of MT. BarnwelFS recommendations. My only object in forwarding you the letter from the railroad administration was merely to serve as an acknowledgement, and I admit that possibly I should have ad- vised you more in detail as to the re- suit of my phone conversation with the. officials here.
 I am fully aware Of the limits with in which a question of this kind can be successfully prosecuted through correspondence, and I am sorry you assumed from my letter that it was my intention to allow the railroad administration to finally dispose of the case without giving me an opportun- ity to be heard in support of your ap- plica ation for these reduced rates. How ever, I found that nothing could be accomplished through a personal call until all papers in the case were re- ceiVed by them from San Francisco.

DECREASE IN MINERAL
 OUTPUT IN PAST YEAR

Arizona's mineral output for 1919 showed a marked decrease over that for 1918, according to yesterdays re- port, submitted by ]. H. Bolin, state mine inspector. The inspector quoted Victor c. Heil<es, U. s. G. S., his authority. The 1919 valuation of min erals showed a decrease of $93, ,427 ,SS0 over that of 1918. The decrease covers both the value and the quantity of metals mined.
 There was a marked curtailment of output early in the year, he says, and labor troubles closed the mines in the Verde district for four months. Cop per production decreased from 764,- S55814 pounds in 1918 to 522, 900, 900 pounds in 1919. nearly 32 per cent. The value decreased from $1SS.919,40 to s9S,296, ,000.
 Gold production decreased from $5,- 435,027 to $4.231,000.

which would prohibit him from engag- ing in either exhibition or limited round boxing contests.
 While Carpenters manager, Des- camps. refuses to divulge the actual conditions embodied in the contract, various promoters appear to take it for granted that the French fighter will be mitted to engage in some form of restricted ring activity and there is certain to be wild scramble for his services.
 In view of his early arrival, it is considered unlikely that Carpenter will definitely sign for championship bout with Dempsey even if in a position to do so, before he reaches America. Cable negotiations appear to be uncer- tain an unsatisfactory, and it is un- derstoOd that the French pugilist and his manager prefer to do business di- rectly with the promoters. who have already passed the ,s500,000 mark in their bids for the fight.
 The Frenchmen are thoroughly fla n1iliar with the fact that a fight bill has been introduced in the New York legislature and that New Jersey clubs hope to have the present law there changed to permit bouts fully as satis- factory to the boxing fans as the lroposed New York regulations.

Democrats at Capital Think

BU q Stan Correspoudeut

Washington, Nov. 1.-Administra-
tion Democrats hope Governor Cox will
be elected tomorrow. Few Of them be-
lieve he will win. Their hope rests on
the apparently mirnculous-a great
''silent vote" for Cox on the league is
sue. OF stage. however, they will ad-
nit that the Democratic candidate Is
doomed unless something happens.
An one member Of the cabinet put It,
Jimmie will be defeated, but IL can't
be helped" Already Democrats here
are looking forward to the 1924 cam
paign, predicting that Harding, il
elected, will only last four years.
McAdoo is the leading favorite in ad-
ministration quarters for the next nom
ination. Many Democrats who were
against him this year are expected to
be for him four years hence on the
theory that the Grown Prince" charge
will be worthless and that he will be
likely to have the support Of William
Jennings Bryan, three times nominee
and the reformer of the Democratic
party.
McAdoo's recent utterances and
record in office, coupled with the senti-
mcnts Of Bryan, forecast campaign in
four years on the issues Of government
ownership of railroads and stricter pro-
hibition enforcement. Bryan and Nc
Adoo both would out Volstead the Vol
stead act, whereas neither Senator
Harding nor Governor Cox, whichever
Is elected, would be expected to ask
anything more stringent than the pres
ent law, nor more drastic than the
present enforcement measures.
Bryan Held Aloof From Campaign
Bryan has been the enigma Of the
present campaign. Unable to support
Senator Harding, he has likewise re-
Trained from supporting Governor Cox.
Almost up to the last minute his
closest friends within the party, includ-
ing former Governor Joseph w. Folk,

Democratic. nominee, have endeavored to
persuade him to assist the Democratic
campaign. He took their requests under
advisement, and there they remained.
Except for guarded statements early IN
the campaign in which the Commoner
refused to talk for publication but per
mitted the inference that he was still
heartbroken over the result of the
Democratic convention, he has never
intimated publicly that he would OF
would not support Cox. As the cam

morrow is a foregone conclusion, as
surfing the McAdoo supporters that they
will not have everything their own way.
II the present feeling within the party
persists, there may be a repetition in
the next Democratic aNtional Conven-
tion of the triangular deadlock that
marked the San Francisco session, when
the McAdoo, Cox and Palmer. forces
locked horns and refused to break away
for forty odd ballots. The attorney
generals friends are convinced that
contributed to his unpopularity at San
Francisco will have been forgotten, or
that his course will have been justified
by 1924, and that he will be stronger
then than he was In June when the
Democrats nominated Governor Cox.
Should the miraculous happen and
Governor Cox be elected tomorrow, all
plans, estimates and forecasts of both
parties will, Of course, be subject to
revision.
Republicans Predominate In Capital
One phase of the campaign in the
national capital has proved puzzle to
many observers here. 1t Is the appar-
ent preponderance Of Republicans In
Washington. The natural expectation,
after years of Democratic administra-
ton, would be that majority OF the
workers, officials and business men, or
at least half Of them, would be Demo-
cratic. in afiliation or sympathy.
Obviously the contrary Is true; of
the four newspapers published In the
capital, three are independent Repub-
lican in their editorial policy and the
fourth Is published by Hearst. This
does not explain 1t, however, for the
vast majority Of the residents OF Wash =
ington are no called OUTSIDERS hav-
ing come here from other communities
to enter the government service or to
accept other employment. One explana :
ton is that most OF them came from
northern states, where Republicans pre-
dominate. and as practically all are un =
der civil service, they have not been
''juestionnaired' as to their politics.
1t is also undisputed that the Demo
cratic administrations never cleensa mpsd
house. as Republicans do. When
