RAIN!

There is a sound of abundance of
rain, That was the message of the
prophet Elijah that day on Mt. Car
NAL long ago when he prayed for
rain, following a three years drOuth,
and was told by his servant that
there was cloud about the size of
mans hand rising up out of the
sea, and his advice to King Ahab
was to get down off the mountain as
quickly as possible. But the rain
caught him before he could get
down Some of us thought there was
sound of abundance of rain last
week, when, on Thursday a cloud
that covered the whole heavens came
up and poured forth a torrent of rain
and hail that continued most of the
afternoon and far into the night.
The drouth had not continued so
long as three years in this part of
the state, but it has been almost of
that duration in some portions of the
state, and the rain came as a most
welcome break in the long dry spell.
Cattle and sheep We're in a deplorable
condition and many had already per-
1shed and it was said that thousands
more would perish shortly if the
rains did not come to bring relief
1t appears that the rain was quite
general in the northeastern part of
the state and extended as far west
as Kingman. Reports say it also
extended into the Salt River Valley
where it did some damage as we'll as
a great deal of good One and one
fifth CT an inch is reported to have
fallen here in Winslow It was a
good start and did great good. If
other rains come along at seasonable
times from now on it means that
the worst is over for this year and
the sheep and cattle men are saved
from considerable losses.

population gradually dwindled until
there was only about 1000 people
living in the town at the time of the

moved to Tonapah, some thirty miles
distant
There is still some gold mining
there and it i sreported that building
operations have been started alreadv
to restore some of the business hou-
ses of the town. One man died as a
result of excitement and over-exer-
ton during the fire. The fire start

GOLDFIELD NEVADA
DESTROYED BY FIRE
LOSS OVER MILLION

The famous gold mining town of
Goldfield, Nevada, was almost totally
destroyed by fire July the 9Th Prac-
tically all the main buildings in the
business district were burned The
fire covered nine blocks and is
thought to have been caused by the
explosion of an illicit still. Two hum
dred people are homeless and the
loss is near million dollars.
Goldfield at one time gave promise
of being one of the greatest gold
mining districts in the world, and
before 1910 had population of 25,

war conditions and these circum-
stances rather than the activities of
this or that political group or this or
that political leader are the real
cause of the high taxes which are
most apparent in the more advanced
and better developed states but
which are found everywhere.
That greater economy is desirable,
that tax reforms are needed, that
everything possible which can be
done to reduce the tax burden goes
without saying but at the same time
to live at the present time IN a
state where taxes were the lowest
in the country would be to live in a
backward state, far from the advant-
ages of modern civilization and
where the opportunities for the
individual to achieve fortune or get
much out of life in any way would
be decidedly limited.
Tax reform can be brought about
only by dealing with actual facts,
Juggling with figures to throw the
blame this way or that, and making
political capital out of the numerous
burden of taxation rather than at
tempting honestly to understand
where the fault lies will never free
us from this burden. Superior

Uniform Traffic Laws on
National Highways.

Traffic laws which differ in differ
cnt States and different towns in the
same State, are a cause of confusion,
accident, loss of property, and loss
Of life. Uniform traffic laws, the
same the country over, will promote
safety
The objection urged against uni
form traffic laws that traffic condi-
tons are different in different
localities, does not hold in the face
of the obvious power Of the locality
to modify or add to the uniform law
for special conditions There are
many observances which, made uni
form, would make for safety, such as
the system of signalling for stop,
slow up and turn, uniform rule as
, TO right Of way at crossings, safety
procedure at grade crossings
heavy penalty for such dangerous
pratices as passing another car when
coming to a curve or top of q hill,
etc.
With forty-eight States and thou
sands Of municipalities, all makinE
their own traffic rules, the motorist
is more or less at sea as TO what he
can and can not, should and should
not do. But when the National
Government builds roads for the
Nation, a national traffic law will be
inevitable as a national police force
for the national highways
"A paved United States in our day
is not only devoutly to be wished for,
because Of the material benefits it
will bring, but because Of the safety
the uniformity Of traffic rules will
provide, when the Congress auth
orizes system Of national high
ways which viii serve all the States
as a good State highway system now
serves all the counties in that State.

Asphalt Pavement Better
Every Year.

Asphalt is the oldest waterproof
adhesive known to man. It's use
dates back beyond the mists which
shroud prehistoric days. Unlike
many basic materials, science and in
vention have not discovered any
substitute for it, and no synthetic
asphalt is producable commercially
which compares either in price or in
utility with the natural product
Asphalt is used in roads in many
ways, but there are four broad d.
visions generally recognized by road
engineers. These four have been
developed, and year by year, as
further experiments and experience
become available, the types are
improved until now it is generally
conceded that for its purpose, and
when properly laid, asphalt has no
superiors as a road material
The four generally recognized
types are, a. asphalt macadam, in
which broken stone has melted

entire course, with stone chips to

Why Should France Excel u. S.
In Roads?

France has 1900 miles of nation
al highways, 100000 of depart
mental and intercommunieating
highways, and $4,000 miles OF
parish or vicinalroads The national
highways approximate six and one
half per cent of Frances highway
system.
There are running on the roads of
France 100000 motor cars less than
one per mile of road.
The United States has 2,SS2,t9S
miles of roads, Of which a tiny small
fraction Of one per cent might be de-
nominated national highways by a
stretch Of the Imagination. which
would include roads in national
parks and on such reservations as
the Canal Zone and the District of
Columbia under the term national
highways"
The United States has $4,000, 900
motor cars running upon its high
ways, or more than four per mile of
road
Is there any really good reason
why the United States should do less
in transportation for its people than
France? The paved highways Of
France saved that nation when moth
ing else could save herl Only the
fact that she could transport her
armies, her ammunition, her supplies
with rapidity and dispatch allowed
her to stem the German attack. Had
she had such roads as we have, she
would be to-day beneath the heel of
the conqueror.
1t is no argument to say we do not
need national highways, because we
are not neighbors to countries which
might attack us. France did not
build and does not maintain her
national highways merely for
stragetic reasons. She builds ana
maintains them for economic
reasons II thrifty France can
find economy in the national high
way idea, why can not the United
States find the same benefit in the
same idea?

Wisconsin Taxes.

According to a recently published
story based on figures given out by
tbo census bureau taxes in Wiscon-
II have increased 179 per cent
since 1912, amounting in 1922 to a
totsl of 1927, 889, $40. There is no
Gsnuting this fact and anybody who
wonld 20 out in the street and at
tsmpt to prove that taxes were not
too high would probably start riot
and if he advocated the increase of
taxes the coroner's jury would doubt
less call it a case Of justifiable home
icide or. possibly, even suicide.
But the way these figures are
sometimes stated a good many
,eopIe get a mistaken conception
concerning the facts. For instance
thew are sometimes taken to repre-
sent the expenditures of the state
government as such, while the big
items are expenditures for schools
and roads. Good roads and good
schools come high but there is rea-
son to believe that money spent for
them is like money spent for labor
saving machinery, money that will
be more than made good in the end.
As a matter of fact there has been
good deal Of economy in the state
government recently. The state
debt has actually been decreased
from $2.251, 900 in 1912 to $2,164,-
600 in 1922, not a large decrease in
itself but something of an achieve
ment under the circumstances.
Many bills appropriating money have
been vetoed by Governor Blaine and
the management of the finances of
the state has been and is business
Ike and above reproach.
Another consideration which needs
to be taken into account is that in
every other state taxes are high also.
This is an era Of substantial develop
ment, in roads, in schools, in
municipal and other improvements
il addition to being an era of high
prices and an era of recovery from
