MAY COLLECT GAS TAX.

Phoenix. July IA. -Mandamus
action against James HI. Kerby,
secretary of state to force him
to collect 8 cent tax on gaso-
line from June 9, 1923. is ex.
pected to be filed in the Mari.
copa county superior court with
in the next few days as the
result of number of confer
ences held in the past few days
by representatives of two large
oil companies operating in the
state with various state officials
relative to the 3 cent gasoline
tax provision of Senate Bill,
No. 1856.
This section of the bill was
vetoed by Governor Hunt as was
the mill tax on passenger and
freight carrying automobiles and
since the bill became effective,
or that portion of it not vetoed,
June 9, there has been much
speculation as to whether the
veto of the governor was valid
There has also been a great deal
Of speculation as to whether Mr..
Kerby should collect a 1 cent
tax on gasoline in accordance
with the old gasoline, tax bill,
or whether he should collect,
8 cent tax under the new bill al
though vetoed by the governor.
Several days prior to June g.,
Mr.. Kerby asked John w. Muir
ply, attorney general for an
opinion on the bill at about the
time the bill went into effect,
Mr.. Murphy replied with a letter
stating that he was of the opin
ion that Mr.. Kerby should col
lect the 8 cent tax as provided
by the bill as originally passed
by the Sixth Legislature. He
did not give an opinion as to the
validity of the veto of the gov.
ernor to the bill.
Following receipt of this let
ter, Mr.. Kerby announced that
he would not collect the 8 cent
gasoline tax but would abide by
the veto of the governor until
the courts had declared it illeg.
al, if such happened to be their
opinion. He also has refused to
state whether he will collect the
/ cent tax on gasoline.

BUILD UP A RESERVE.

With record breaking freight
shipments, with a scarcity of
labor in all lines of industry, and
with bumper crops assured, there
is every reason for assuming
that this fall will witness un-
usual prosperity in the United
States.
This means that there will be
millions of people with money in
their pocket or in the bank,
which they will wish to spend or
invest.
Every family and every busi-
ness should adopt the policy of
building up reserve fund
through investment of part of
their savings in some form of
good securities.
Large industries do this to
tide them over lean periods.
Good business men do it for the
same reason.
If this practice was followed,
hardship and suffering that re.
suit from period of depression
would be largely eliminated.
Such a policy would be a balance
wheel to business and would go
a long way toward eliminating
periodical depressions.
Instead of letting some get.
rich quick scheme get the saw.
ings of the nation, let the people
learn to consult a legitimate
bond dealer or banker before
placing their money in securities
about which they know little or
nothing.
Money is the easiest thing to
get lid of in the world, so why
not benefit by expert advice and
at least have a run for your
money?

RESULTS TELL THE TALE

The West has been more pro
gressive in the construction of
hard surfaced roads than has
any other part Of the country.
While it's population is com.
paratively small, it has actually
invested hundreds of millions of
dollars in permanent road con-
struction.
It is a peculiar circumstance
that while suitable types of pave.
ment to withstand heavy traffic
have been laid in cities for many
years, when it came to laying
county roads. time tested me.
thods were too often dispensed
with and large amounts Of ex,
perimental work were done at
heavy cost to the taxpayers.
While millions of dollars have
been wasted in this manner, it
is possible that no other means
would have so conclusively de-.
monstrated the necessity of
building a shock absorbing type
of pavement on state highways
similar to the asphaltic concrete
pavements which have been
adopted by the leading cities of
the country.
A road is like any other object
that must stand heavy impact
it must be able to absorb the jar
without fracturing. Unsurfaced
concrete highways crystalline
and crumble unless protected by
a shock absorbing substance of
an asphaltic character.
Facts are more stubborn to
get around than theories and as
in the next ten years the road
tax bill will possibly be the big.
gest individual state and county
tax item, that the citizen will
have to pay, it is important that
past experience be taken into
consideration in future road con.
struction.
