SMALL EARTHQUAKE
 STAGED IN CUTTING
 HIGHWAY PAVEMENT

People living along the newly paved Hensifaw road yesterday thought an earthquake had shaken that vicinity. Men of the engineering department of the county highway commission were cutting the road at that point to relieve the buckling which had thrown up one edge at an expansion joint about two inches. The cutting was done about 20 feet back of the joint
 The cutting is accomplished by boring a row of holes through the pavement across its width. These holes are made to touch each other The boring was done from each side. The row had been completed except for width of 22 inches in the mid dle when suddenly there was a movement so violent that men who were standing on the pavement were nearly thrown from their feet That 22inch space was crushed, or rath- CT the top of it was sheared off, over a space IS inches wide. There was an accompanying noise like a can nan shot.
 When the movement subsided, it was found that the inch and a. half space made by the cutting had been filled by the joining of the two ends. Just before the movement one of the workmen had brushed out with his hand pieces of rock and concrete that had fallen into the crevice.
 It was found that the pavement had moved for 100 feet away from the cutting. This incident has shown the advisability of finishing these cuttings in the early morning hours before the expansion is at its height. It has been demonstrated that the concrete work is a great deal better than it had been supposed to be. It does not crush under the drills which cut clean straight holes regardless of what they encounter. either cement or those hard, small, black river boulders. At one point three holes were bored through a boulder which was broken in two, each part adher- ing to the cement in which it had | been embedded

REPORT PAYMENTS
 IF CITY TAXES MORE
 PROMPT THAN USUAL

City tax returns this year were be- yond the average. Payments were made very promptly, the greater part of the taxes being paid before the time extensions were made, accord ing to City Assessor Trevillian.
 May II marked the close of the last extension of time limit for city taxes Assessor Trevillian estimates that about so per cent of the taxes have been paid. Although exact fig ures were not available, it is possi- ble to obtain an idea of the taxes paid into the city from the fact that the total city assessment for 1920 was SAP, S405 531.
 George Kirkland. an official in the office of the city tax collector, ex- pressed the opinion that more back taxes were paid into the city this year than ever before in the history of the office.
 For some unknown reason people of Phoenix seemed willing and even anxious to pay their taxes as prompt ly as possible this year." he said 'and the very satisfactory results were obtained without any extra effort be- ing put forth by this office to col Iect"
 Even those who suffered temporary financial setbacks from closing oi banks in the valley found an imme diate way to meet their taxes. as al checks on suspended banks were talk en up within few days.
 Failure to make payment Of tax es when due carries a 15 per cent penalty on the first installment. Ii the first installment is paid wher the second becomes delinquent the penalty is five per cent on the sec ond installment, but if the first in- stallment is not paid when the sec ond installment falls due an extra per. cent is added to the first install ment, making a total of 20 per cent in addition to the per cent against the second insta1lment.
 No property has been sold by the city for taxes since 1907.

National Crop Improvement service.l err HE methods of farming generally
 1 practiced do not maintain the fertility of the soil and the practices which have been largely responsible for the decreased productivity are:
 "QD Erosion or the washing away of the surface soil; @ the depletion of organic matter of the soil; (3) lack of rotation or growing the same crop continuously; (4) the failure to grow a sufficient acreage of leguminous crops, 10 maintain the nitrogen content; (5) the depletion of the supply of mineral elements of plant food" says Prof. L. E. Call in Kansas bulletin (No. 220l, prepared by himself and Prof. Throck- morton.
 A great deal ot valuable information Is gwen on how to overcome these diff culties by the use of proper rotations, the restoring of the straw to the land,
Arizona republican., 1921-05-13

green maturing, barnyard manure and the use of commercial fertilizers.
 Professor Call is of the opinion that commercial fertilizer should be used only when necessary to supply an ele- ment of plant food that is deficient in the soil. Potassium is present in Kan sas soils in liberal quantities, he says, and may be seldom supplied in com mercial form with profit. Nitrogen may be secured from air by the use of legu- minous plants. Phosphorus is the one element which is deficient in the soil and for which there is no ready source of supply.
 Phosphorus in the form of steamed bone-meal or acid phosphate will gen erauy repay the expense in materially increased crop. Any powdered ferti- lzer may be applied to the surface by the use of perforated drum, as shown in the illustration.
 Lime, where the soil is sour, can be pro6tably added in like manner.

the Standard Oil crowd for the pay
ments for the use and benefit Of Re-

festation of gratitude on the part of
Mr.. Hyde, we confess some surprise
at finding him in such company.
Even Harding, who put a corpora
ton lobbyist in his cabinet and a
Pittsburg millionaire, linked up with
every great interest in the land, at
the head of the Treasury, could not
stand for the tax on oil. His training
as a country editor served, perhaps,
to suggest to him that there are, some
outrages the public win not stand for.
Hence he baked. But Hyde stood

Two Kinds of Regulation.
(st. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

(St Louis Post-Dispatch.l 4
The French do some things better
than we. Take "moral" questions,
about which opinions differ. The
French way is to fix it so that those
who like it one way can have it that
way and those who like it another
way can have 1t the other way. But
side by side, 80 that you can take
your pick without running around to
look for what you want.
That is the way they are settling
the bathing suit question and other
questions at Deanville and Vllliers.
These resorts adjoin, on the same
sandy shore, but in. the matter of
"morals' they differ greatly. At
Deauville the law is: swear what
you like, eat and drink as much as
you like, gamble as much as you like
and enjoy yourself any way you like"
At Villiers no one must expose more
than four inches of bare skin except
on the face, men must wear aprons
with their bathing suits and women
must wear stockings, bathers who
lounge on the sands must wear
peignoirs, flirting is prohibited and
gambling is limited to 10 francs a
throw. It's moral frontier is guarded
by censors with tapelines and sup
ply of peignoirs. All tastes are suit
ed aud everybody is satisfied.
We do it differently here. Instead
of leaving minor moral matters to
local regulation we amend the Con-
stitution, bringing everybody under
the same regulation, and undertake
by nation wide restriction to compel
ell to conform to the opinions of
some.
There are differences of opinion
concerning what constitutes correct
behavior, and always will be. If per-
sons who differ would respect each
others convictions and seek their en-
joyments in their separate ways,
evarvbody could be happy,

This property was originally the
old Judge Emerson estate. 1t has
passed through various hands since
then. For one year, dating from
1913, the Missouri Baptist State Home
for the Aged had this for its resi-
dence. 1t was then that DR.. and Mrs.
Milford s. Riggs entered on their
work in charge of the home. The in
stitution is now erecting a 5000, 1000
building, on 175 acres of lawn and
timber land, purchased on "St. Louis
Lane" the corner stone of which will
be laid Tuesday, August 9.
This is the only Baptist old peoples
home within the entire bounds of tn Q
Southern Baptist Convention, and the
only Baptist old peoples home, North
or South, between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Ocean. The
new building will provide living
quarters for more than 100 old people.
Selection is carefully made by DR..
and Mrs. Riggs of dependent, needy,
aged men and women, members of
some Baptist church. They must be
absolutely dependent and must be in
such condition that they would other
wise be charge on the local church.
Most of those now in the home are
between 80 and 100 years of age. One
of the women, now "a, is "praying,"
she says, to live to be 100. There was
Mrs. Agnes Harrison, in the home,
who was 100 years old last November.
She had all her faculties" and was
interested in all the events of the day.
On her birthday she sat in big chair
out in the hall and letters of con-
gratulations were read to her. She
had large, square birthday cake on
which were 100 pink candles. In
December Mrs. Harrison took i'll, for
some reason, and died. She was 100
years and weeks old.

"Disgusted and Disenchanted."

tFrom the Philadelphia Recordl
George Sylvester Viereck, who
claims to have Influenced a million or
two of German Americans to vote for
Harding and Coolidge last fall, rises
to remark concerning the peace reso-
luton just signed by the President:
THE peace resolution does not make
peace. The Knox-Porter resolution
is futile in that it binds neither us
nor the Germans. 1t will not change
whit the commercial or diplomatic
relations between the two republics
Coming, as it does, without grace or
generosity, after infinite pickering
among picayune politicians, intended
to disguise more sinister motives for
the breach of promise of the Repub-
lican party to make an immediate
peace with Central Europe, it leaves
us disgusted and disenchanted."
1t will be next in order for Irish
Americans to rise and express their
establishment with the present ad-
ministration. What has it done for
the freedom of Ireland? George Har-
vey's speech of May 10 is one answer
to that question.
Sooner or later all those voters who
were flimfammed last year into de-
serting their old party allegiance by
specious appeals to their particular
prejudices will learn that they were
buncoed. Nothing will be done to
make good the promises then so free
ly offered. The German Americans
have already discovered how they
were tricked.

Hyde, Done In Oil!
(Missouri State Journal.)

(Missouri State Journal)
An interesting story drifts back to
Missouri concerning the position of
Governor Hyde on the Fordney duties
on oil and gasoline, taken in connec-
ton with the practically solid vote
cast on these duties by the amateur
statesmen we sent to congress last
fall. 1t appears they yielded to the
suggestion of the Governor that these
bounties to the Standard Oil Com
pany would conform to principles!
The statement is made upon good
authority that this duty would cost
the automobile owners of Missouri
81, 100000 year. and none can esti-
mate the extent of its cost to the
Missouri house wife who uses coal
oil lamps on the farm and in com
munities removed from electric light
plants. Mr.. Hyde, celebrated garage
owner of Trenton, certainly missed
his turn, and neglected his own, when
he seut these telegrams-probably at
the expense of the state. How he
came to do such foolish thing can
only be conjectured. II may be that
he did the usual thing, acted first, and
then considered.
These duties upon crude oil and its
products were the most indefensible
ever proposed in tariff bill, and
Harding was shrewd enough to recog-
nize their character, where Hyde was
not. The duties must have been de-
signed to head off the drop in prices
in kerosene and gasoline, all for the
| benefit of the oil interests who domi-
nate the home markets as we'll as the
home production. The duties would
not have materially interfered with
the Standard Oil Company In foreign
fields. It's ramifications are every
where, and they compete with foreign
producers in their own territory,
without serious difficulty.
The magnates of Standard Oil are
all Republicans of high degree, and
pay their heavy toll for the upkeep
of the Republican organization. They
have possessory right to control the
party they own, and presumptively,
they have the right to dictate tariff
schedules whenever tariff revision
is undertaken. The whole theory Of
of protection, if it means anything,
is that the manufacturer or the
monopolist may write the schedules
thatSaffect his business, and write
them regardless of the effect upon
the consumer or the general public
Therefore, the duty on crude oih un-
doubtedly conformed to the protec-
/ tive theory, so our Governor was
