CONVENTION IN
PHOENIX NEARS
Plans Being Made For The
Greatest Gathering Of
Kind Ever Held InSouth-
west - Interest Grows

Only a little more than seven
weeks intervene before the date ar
rives for the biggest and most i'm
portant convention ever held in the
Southwest, the tenth annual meeting
" the United States Good Roads as
ISOLATION, the Bankhead National
highway association and the United
states Good Roads show which will
be held in Phoenix, April "a to 2s.
Not only are there hundreds Of
people expected to come to Phoenix
from every part Of the United States
for this big convention. but among
the many visitors will be included
n.en Of prominence in civic and busi-
ness life. Many personal letters are
beirg written by citizens Of Phoenix
acd Arizona inviting relatives and
friends in other states to attend.
Every day many citizens are call
ing at the headquarters of the asso-
citation asking for rates, literature
and other particulars in regard TO
the coming convention. Also many
injuries are coming by mail from
all over the country. attesting the
interest In the big gathering and
that the attendance will exceed the
fondest expectations Of those in
charge.
Summer Rates 20 AID
The railroads throughout the coun-
try, during the summer months put
on what is known as the summer
tourist rate, and issue these tickets
during the month of May good until
Oct. 81 so that visitors from the east
can visit the west at almost one-half
price and the western people can
visit the east on the same terms.
An effort Is being made by the ex-
ecutive officers Of the United States,
Good Roads association, the Bank
head National Highway association
and the United States Good Roads
show to induce the railroads to put
this rate on a month earlier so that
the delegates to the convention will
secure the same. The Phoenix cham
Der Of commerce and the Arizona
State Good Roads association will
join heartily with Director General
Rountree and other officials in urg-
ing the railroads to put on this rate.
The prospects arc quite bright for
one OF the most comprehensive ex-
hihits of road machinery, road mate
rial, trucks, tractors and automobiles
that has ever been shown in the
west.
Co operation on the part OF the
federal government, as well as the
Arizona state highway department
has been received. 1t is planned that

GIVE NEW VERSION
OF ACCIDENT STORY

Information on which a story in
The Republican yesterday morning of
a late railroad accident at the corner
OF Second avenue and the Arizona
Eastern tracks is based, is quite at
variance with the testimony Of some
seven witnesses of the accident at an
inquiry held by General Manager c.
M. Scott.
According to Deputy Sheriff Nc
Cormick, who was on top of stock
car approaching the crossing, and
who was corroborated by all the wit
nesses, the car was moving toward
the crossing at the rate of three or
four miles an hour. 1t had reached
the crossing when the men on top of
the car saw a Ford approaching rap
idly. It had only one headlight and
that was dim one.
The men called to occupants Of
the car, but they came on and struck
the side OF the car. The car moved
less than four feet after It had been
struck. There were three young men
in the Ford. One of them was slight
ly cut by being thrown through the
windshield. He also said that his
arm was hurt, but he declined the
offer OF the service of a physician.
One of the boys smelled as if he
had been bathed in alcohol and the
deputy sheriff thought that charge
Of transporting liquor might lie. But
a bottle had been broken by the inn
pact and as one cannot be convicted
on a smell, nothing was done about
it. The boys admitted that they
were to blame for the collision. They
said that they were on their way to
get three girls 10 go to party.
In the story il was stated that
Deputy Sheriff Dewitt witnessed the
accident. The deputy. sheriff said
that is an error, as he was not pres
ent.

Mrs. Leeper with great bouquet OF
flowers. Nadine Fitch, one of the
tiniest girls OF the school gave them
TO her with a presentation speech in
verse, prepared BY members OF her
class.
at the Roosevelt school the Boy
Scouts cheered Mrs. Leeper and Mrs
Butler and when Tapa had finished
his talk the children were so deter
mined that he should not leave them
that they chased him for almost half
mile along the pavement. The lit
tie girls of the school presented Mrs.
Leeper with a booklet about Tapa,
gotten out by the tiny ones Of the
first grade. with a crayon sketch Of
Tapa on the front.

and Parents association. has been
brought TO Phoenix by this associa-

Import Duties

WASH INGToN. Jan. Sit would be
difficult but not impossible to determine
and TO administer "offsettng import
suties'' against the varying exchange
sates in foreign countries. the United
States Tariff Commission says in a spe-
ual report on deprecated exchange and
International trade. made public to-day
This is one OF the plans that has been
suggested before the Senate Finance
Committee for meeting the unusual stu
alton brought about by the difference

which goods are brought to this coun-
try.
"A fiat rate cannot be applied be-

modities for which special protection IS
sought could be prepared and revised
from time to time"
The commission says that its inquiry
developed that in Germany there is yet
a great discrepancy between the inter-
nal value of the mark and its gold value
slightly more than two to one in 1921.
THE prices of specific commodities in
various countries tell roughly the same
story" tine report continues. THE gold
prices o. copper, wheat and wool are
about the same in the United States.
England and France. with lesser de-
srees OF adjustment for Germany. Spe-
cialties. however, such as articles Of
fashion or complicated chemical and
metallurgical products. are often pro-
duced locally in Europe in terms of pa
per money. with the result that special
bargains may be had by American buy
ers because of low rates OF exchange.
This bonus on exports from central
Europe IL partly offset by the numerous
restrictions to trade in exportable
products.
"A comparison OF wages IN the United
States. England. France and Germany
shows that they are less adjusted to a
gold basis than are prices. In May.
1921. the standard wage in Germany for
factory workers was roughly 10 cents
an hour in gold. as compared with 20
cents to % cents in France. 80 cents to
30 cents in England and 80 cents to 10
