Phoenix ought to be a city
of about 100000 inha bitants
instead of about one-fourth
of that population. The trou.
BILE is that she has been rent
by factional interests, which
are alleged to be due to a con-
trolling hand exerted over its
destinies in shape of a Cham
Der Of Commerce which takes
an arbitrary hand in every
thing political as we'll as
commercial. The proposal Of
the new FL Paso, Tucson. &
Tidewater road to acquire an
entry into the city is about
to be stalled again because
the two roads that now con-
troll the Union Depot site, or
want to, keep out competition
in transportation. Competi-
ton In transportation, max
ing commercial intercourse
more rapid, is one of the
things most responsible to
growth and increase in popu.
lation. Ten years ago the
same identical proposal for
entry of this same railroad
was made, but there seems to
have been political influence
powerful enough to set it
aside. Ifthis proposal comes
to vote Of The people the
road will be allowed to enter
as it should. All the oppose
ton may be summed up in
the fact that a few big inter
ests want big money 70,
rights-of.way that a big cor
poration is able to pay bic
money for. If Phoenix busi
ness men were wise, they'c
d nate the rights-of-way

STATE
LEGISLATURE
AUTO TAX LEGISLATION

Decisions of wide Importance in
highway legislation to be proposed to
the present session were made by the
joint highway committee of the legis-
lature Wednesday.
Although final agreement was not
reached upon weight tax on auto
mobiles, the members made other de-
examinations that indicate the trend
in the legislature in road matters.
A. r. Hirst, state highway engineer
after presenting tentative bill as d.
rected by the committee, calling for a
graduated weight surtax, was asked
again to change its provisions slightly
in order to set flat rate on automo-
biles between certain small steps in
weight, rather than by direct 100
pound basis. This will mean but slight
change in the general schedule.
In order to realize larger returns
from motor buses, which farmers dc
clare are tearing up Wisconsin's
roads, the committee decided to assess
these carriers at double the license
fee on trucks of the same weight,
making the maximum fee 1852 car.
Decision was reached to give auto
mobiles from other states Today
privilege period in Wisconsin, and if
they stayed longer to tax them 81 for
do
lar motor car tax after 80 days had
expired.
Trucks, which formerly paid a fiat
$40 rate if operated within city limits,
would be required to pay single rate
based upon weight, no matter what
the limit of their travel
A fiat rate of SIS for motorcycles
without sidecars and of So for motor
cycles with sidecars was agreed upon
by the committee. At present these
machines pay So.
1t was determined that automobiles
licensed after July each year would
pay rs per cent Of the full fee, while
those licensed after September would
pay so per cent. They now pay the
full $40 fee.
Mr.. Hirst is to prepare new labels
of license fees based upon weight be-
tween definite steps, and present
these to the meeting next Wednesday.
While weight is still used by the COM
mittee as the basis of it's licensing

ASK BONUS TIME EXTENSION

An extension of the time limit set
by the Wisconsin educational bonus
law for one year, or until Feb. i,
1924, was asked in a bill introduced
in the legislature Tuesday by Assem-
blyman Ethan B. MINER, New Rich
mond.
"The amendment of the statute will
not mean any extra expense to the
state," Mr.. Menier stated, "as the
money is collected and available.
Many Legion posts and veterans
throughout the state have been IN
able to take advantage of the prov
sions of the act by the time limit as
previously set and this amendment
merely lengthens that time one year
so that no deserving person will lose
out on the advantages of the act"
The law expired Feb. l so far as it
related to local classes, but will con-
tinue until July l., 1924, for free cor
respondence instruction and full time
education in the higher institutions.
