GEM ENT

The rates shown above were selected for the reason that they were made voluntarily, by the carriers, they nave been in effect for many years and can therefore be considered as being reaS- onably compensatory; they show re- lationship between the rates on llIne cement and plaster; and that these rates are being used for shipments be- tween points wholly within the state of California, as well as Tor shlp- ments between points in California and Arizona. They further show that the revenue derived from the move ment of these commodities should De very much lower per ton mile than the average revenue per ton mile TOT all classes of freight.
 The minimum carload weight for cement used in above comparison is SO 900 pounds. The total amount of cement necessary for the proposed highway construction in Maricopa county is estimated at 12S,Q00 tons and can be loaded to the capacity of the car.
 The railroads pay ten per cent Of the taxes collected in Maricopa county and should be interested in having these highways built economically and of the best material that can be obtained at the lowest possible cost.
 These ates are used to move com mercial freight, the principle is well established that material that enters into the construction of public inn provements should be given a some what lower rate than the one applied for commercial purposes.
 Taking every factor into considera- tion, I believe, that you are justified in requesting the carriers to publish a rate on cement from producing points within a radius of $40 miles from Phoenix, built on basis of 6.5 mills per ton mile, as shown in the rate from Cotton. California to San Francisco California, this would make a rate of

BANDITS SHOOT MAN
 AFTER ROBB|NG HIM

After robbing a Mexican of horse and buggy and then marching him. arms extended high in air, down the road ahead of them, two bandits then shot twice at the Mexican. Both bullets took effect in the groin. At St. Josephs hospital. where the man was taken, it was said that his con- dition is critical. His identity is not known. The hold-up and shooting took place on Roosevelt road shortly after o'clock last night.
 Two Mexicans were in the buggy when they were stopped by the armed men and ordered to the ground. After the shooting, the injured Mexican aided by his companion. struggled to a nearby telephone and notified the sheriff's office.
 A posse of deputies started on the trail of the bandits, while another hur- ried the injured man to the hospital. At a late hour last night no report had been received of the pursuing posse.

EXPLOSION |S CAUSE
 IF ALARM LAST NIGHT

Several windows were broken. houses sha ken and people northeast and east of Phoenix were alarmed ata heavy ex- plosion shortly after s o'clock last night which caused many telephone calls of inquiry and numerous conjectures.
 After some delay the mystery was finally solved and the explosion traced to a quarry near rock crushing plant two miles this side of Tempe and about half mile off the state highway. An unusually heavy charge of powder was set off at that hour. The moist condi- ton of the ground was said to have caused the heavy detonation.
