VALLEY REAL TORS
 MEET 1T LUNCHEON

Taxation. freight rates, co-opera- tive marketing. and soil inoculation were the subjects discussed yester- day noon at the weekly luncheon of the Salt River Valley Realtors asso- citation, held in the American Kitchen. J. J. Phillips was chairman and spoke briefly on the expense of running the state. Taxes are high. he said, be- cause the expense of running the state is larger than state of this size requires. MT. Phillips then dis cussed the. freight rates on both ex- ports from the valley and imports. The rates. MT. Phillips said. on prod ucts raised in the valley to the mar ket centers are in many cases so large that they exceed even the value of the product. Citing an example of this. he said the grower received $3.60 a crate for his nantaloupes in the market and it cost him approxi- mately s3 a crate for freight. leav- ing an income of 50 cents a crate to pay for all labor in raising and pre- pairing the fruit for market. Pota- toes, he said, were seEin. for 50 cents a sack on the coast, but the freight made the cost here about s3 a sack
 Fred Tait. representing the Farm Bureau, spoke on cooperative mar keting. In closing. he cautioned farmers and realtors not to misrep- resent their land in making sales with purchasers from other states. He advised them not to "oversell' the newcomer but to induce him to buy in such a manner as to have some ready cash left to operate with Walter Hayden closed the speaking program with a talk on production He showed that with proper soil in- oculation land could be made to yield
 a greater production to the acre Proper cultivation and farming, he said, also would increase the yield but the land would soon wear out without the introduction of fertilizer
 Land values are based on production and urged inoculation, he pointed l out.

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY MORNING AUGUST 1921
Knights of the Road Now Ride
 Automobiles Instead of Rods

At another time Yard stopped for sullen individual who excited his suspicion as soon as he stepped into the car.
 He was a hard looking customer and kept his eyes continually upon the floor," Yard explained. Finally I decided I was taking too big a chance to get out into the deserted districts with him so l stopped be- fore ranch house and told the man I could not carry him any farther. He hesitated about getting out ana gave me an ugly look but took 1t for granted I either lived in the ranch house or had business there so re- luctantly crawled to the ground. As he did so I slammed the door and gave the engine all the gas it would stand. The next day I read in the paper about an automobile hold-up in that vicinity
 But there are many motorists who are willing to take chance on help ing the roadside stranger along his way. Driving without company be- comes very tiresome and willing worker in the car is worth great deal in case of an emergency.
 A Phoenix motorist making a trip to the coast last month found room
  passenger who was wearily plodding along a hot and dusty trail. The man rode to Parker. where he quit the party with the remark that he would look for work there. One day later the Phoenix motorist had a serious mishap to his car just outside of Ludlow, Calf. He worked in vain to locate the trouble and was on the point of giving up after about five hours effort when another car ap- preached and a man sitting with the driver jumped out with an offer of aid. It was the stranger who had stopped at Parker. He had failed to find work and was continuing his trip westward with second car. After few minutes he located the trouble and within an hour had the disabled engine humming merrily. And he refused financial compensa- ton.
 In commenting upon the number who have deserted the railroads for the highways a conductor for the Santa Fe said that despite the many | unemployed now drifting from city to city be is experiencing far less trouble with hoboes than in previous years.
 Comparatively few are stealing rides on the train these days" he said. Tt is only the hard type of vagrant who arouses suspicion by his very appearance who still seeks out the rods instead of the easier riding cushions of an automobile However, the optimists among the railroad men are of the belief that the old time Weary Willie type of hobo is fast disappearing and that the new generation of restless wan derers is of much better class

|CE MUST BE SOLD BY WEIGHT, STATE
 INSPECTOR WARNS

Complaint having reached the state department of weights and measures that in some localities re- tail icemen were not strictly observ- ing the state law requiring ice sold at retail to be soldsby weight only. State Inspector F. R. Dyas is con- ducting an investigation to deter mine where the, law Is being violated.
 There can be no misconstruction of the law said Inspector Dyas. for it is too brief and simple. It provides ice sold at retail must be sold by actual weight only, and a penalty of s250 fine or three months imprisonment is provided for deliv- ering and charging for a smaller quantity than the quantity repre- sented.
 While the department realizes that the iceman cannot cut each piece of ice to an exact fraction of the pound, he can and should charge the customer only for the exact number of pounds delivered. Any violation of this provision coming to the notice of this department will be followed by prompt prosecution.
 AS the only method by which ice can be sold by weight, is to weigh each cut before delivering it to the customer, the weights and measures department will consider the finding of any retail ice wagon not equipped with a pair of scales as prima facie evidence that the ice is not being weighed. but is being sold bv meas urement or guess. which is a viola tion of law"
 The department is badly handi- capped in making investigation of the various complaints reaching it. ac- cording to a report to Governor ] Campbell, by lack of adequate funds the appropriations committee of the Fifth legislature having reduced the department expense fund 5e per cent, or to total of but s1,200 per annum for all office. travelling and | like expenses

PEORIA DELEGATION
 WANTS ROAD PAVED

Headed by c. A. Robinson and Captain Latimer, a delegation from Peoria yesterday visited the board of supervisors with a request that Grand avenue from Glendale through Peoria be paved. Several representa- tives of the Scottsdale district also were present at the meeting. The Peoria delegation presented its sit uation to the supervisors and sew eral members of the highway com mission who were present.
 Members of the highway commits sion told the delegation the road could rot be paved in the first bond money because the commission al- ready had designated the roads to be paved and were of the opinion the designations could not be changed and other roads substituted. Cap tain Latimer then told the super Peor ia delegation understood the sit- uation. He said the delegation in- sisted that the road be paved first under the funds of the second bond issue. and not among the first. This the supervisors and commissioners promised.
 Captain Latimer then asked the sur rervisors to repair the road at once and put it in shape so it could be traS eled He said the delegation did not wish the county to go to a great expense. but to do enough work on the road at the least expense possi- ble to put it in shape. The board advised the delegation it would look into the matter

Hey, bo. gimme a ride!" This is the popular salutation of the mod ern knight errant who has discov- cred that motor car transportation IS safer and more comfortable than swinging rods under Pullmans, hold ing down the top or taking a chance on the blind. baggage. And the ever increasing amount of travel over na- tional highways offers the wanderer opportunities every day.
 Practically every tourist who makes an extended motor trip is encountered at some place along the route with a request for ride In some cases the petitioner is a grimy, slovenly individual of the old hobo" type, while in other instances the request may come from we'll dressed alert young man who is on the high road of adventure simply for a good time.
 A talk with some of these modern drifters often reveals coast to coast excursions and many interesting ex- periences. Those who become ac- uuainted with some of the motor car hoboes find that they have drifted westward from New York. Vermont. Chicago or other distant eastern
 
 have a working Knowledge of me- chanics and are willing and able to make minor motor car repairs and in other ways make themselves use ful to those who give them a lift Some prove themselves so valuable that they earn for themselves long trips with transcontinental tourists.
 Statesmen who cover their territory by motor. car frequently encounter the new type of 'deadheader." They learn by experience to distinguish the man who is merely desirous of a ride from the man who has sinis- ter purpose behind his request for a lift. In commenting upon this Philip Yard, salesman for the Arizona Packing company. gave two typical experiences:
 On a recent trip out of Phoenix to Salome and Parker he made a short stop at Winters We'll, an oasis on the desert between Hassayampa and Salome. There he met two men in a car and during the course of friendly conversation remarked that it was inadvisable to pick up strang- CTS along the road. He cited several instances where the practice had led to fatal consequences, directing his remarks impersonally to both men A few days later he met one of the men again.
 Remember meeting me at Win ter g We'll the latter asked.
 I certainly do," Yard replied. T gsve you few tips about picking up buns along the. road"
 You did. and it happened to be that my companion to whom you were talking at the same time was a stranger I had just picked up." came the unexpected reply.

MIAMI PROTESTS CURTA|LMENT 0F
 RAILWAY SERVICE


 Following the filing :, the Ari- zona corporation commission of a re- quest from the Arizona Eastern rail- way seeking curtailmept of service between Miami and Globe, a vigorous protest has been filed .sith the com mission by the business men of Miami The company asks for au- thority to discontinue the morning train out of Miami, leaving only one train a day The company also seeks to reduce the service 50 per cent on h Phoenix Florence -Winkleman branch by installin. an every other day service to these points.
 A wire has been received by the commission from the Miami Rotary club protesting the discontinuance of the morning passenger service on the following grounds:
 Miami is entitled to this service inaSmuch as it has the only operat- ing copper mine of any size on this branch of the Arizona Eastern.
 e-Miami town and mines furnish the major portion of the revenue for this road.
 3-The removal of this service is discriminatory to the people of Miami as the curtaiiment affects no other town on the Arizona Eastern.
 4-The curtainment of the service will force every outgoing passenger from Miami to begin his journey at the city of Globe, six and half miles distant.
 s-If curtailment is desired, the same result in saving can be achieved by the leaving of it's night passen- ger equipment in Miami overnight.
 A similar wire of protest was re- ceived from representative business men of Miami.
 In explanation of the situation Chairman D. F. Johnson of the con- mission gave out the following state- ment:
 .The recent application of the Ari- xona Eastern appears to be reason able one All of the facts have been gone into at a former hearing. when the railroad sought to discontinue the evening train. This would force too much of a hardship on Miami bound passengers arriving at night forcing them to remain over at Globe, and the applica ton was denied.
 The Arizona Eastern claim to have operated at loss of $36. .000 last month and this has necessitated curtailment of its passenger service on two lines. The claim that Miami is the only town affected is ill., founded Already the service to Christmas has been discontinued. and the stations of Hayden. Litchfield and Magma have been discontinued The people of Miami will suffer very lit- tie under the proposed arrangement. They will simply be obliged to take the stage run over to Globe when taking the outgoing train. Already arrangements have been made for handling the mail this way. The company's equipment could not be kept at Miami overnight without the instalIation of machine shops and other terminal facilities at consid- erab1e expense.
 We arc confident that the business interests of Miami will see the req soma bleness of the request without the necessity of going over the ground again at public hearing, though the commission is willing to hold such hearing if necessary to bring out further facts. It Is possi- hse also that a hearing will be held at Florence although none has been requested as yet"
