Sand for Railroads Safety Costs
Millions Yearly

While big figures are used in telling
the cost OF safety to the railways, the
amazing item to the average person is
the amount spent for sand. Four tons
are required for every mile of road in
the United States. according to the
figures OF one trunk line with 900
miles of track. As This road is in the
middle west and south, where noun
tains are not encountered, the figures
given are regarded as conservative
The cost of putting the sand into the
engine box is placed at $3.50 ton as
an average minimum. For all the
roads, the yearly cost is estimated at
S2G37 070. For the most part the sand
is brought from river bottoms and
dried by waste steam at the round
house.

DISAPPOINTING LEADERSHIP.

Senator William E. Borah, because of long ser vice in the upper house of Congress, becomes head of the committee foreign affairs succeeding the late Henry Cabot Lodge.
 But Borah is not leader. He is as lacking in constructive capacity as most any senator that could be named. He is chiefly known because he talks we'll and often. He has greater force as critic than as one who does things. He is about the chief fly in the ointment of the country just because of his succeeding to that chairmanshp
 Borah is opposed to the administration $ pro- gram towards Russia. He favors recognizing the against that thing
 He is opposed to the world court idea. Secre- tary Hughes and President Coolidge favor the idea
 He is opposed to the administration $ plan of funding the debt owed by foreign government.
 President Coolidge wants to delay the calling of another disarmament congress until European governments do something that indicates they want peace principle. Borah wants such confer right away.
 Borah does not take these stands because he be- lieves they are the best He does it because his contrarness gets him lot of publicity that would not come to him as an agreeable person. He 'makes news" and the newspapers keep his name to the front.
 Fortunately there are indications the admins traton will go forward with it's foreign policy re- gardess of the attitude of the chairman of the Sen- ate committee foreign relations.

Ions annually and on commercial cars using 1000 gallons.
 These are considered conservative figured
 Until recently the gasoline tax has never been passed upon by the people of any state. Always to impose and to collect At the last election the people of Massachusetts had opportunity to register their opinion. two-cent- per gallon tax had been passed by the legislature The motor car dealers of Massachusetts thought that this addition to an al- ready large list of taxes was too much, and they brought about referendum. The people spoke to the extent of defeating the tax entirely by 27OOOO votes.
 There Is another very important point. It is the gross unfairness of sngling out any con- modity to carry great load of taxation to produce revenues for the whole people. The varying propos- als which have been made would place upon gaSo- cent of the wholesale price of gasoline in San Fran cisco Let any merchant ask himself how he would like to have such burden thrown upon his own commodity. It would undoubtedly curtail con- sumption, for the higher the price of commodity the lower the consumption whether the commodity be shoes, clothing food, what-not.
 There still considerations of import ance to the public; but the opposition of this Com pany to the proposed measures is based the ele- mental principal that it is wrong to tax part of the people for the benefit of the whole and grossly un- just to single out any commodity for very heavy burden of taxation, and the Company intends to place the facts before the motoring public, many of whom are it's patrons.-Standard Oil Bulletin Dec.

CRIPPLE IS EAGLE SCOUT.

Although he suffered the loss of his right foot in accident several years ago, George s. Conway, jr., of Englewood N. J., has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in the Boy Scout movement.
 To those who know the severe tests to which candidates for this rank are subjected, his accom- plishments seem almost incredible.
 With his crutch he ran 50 yards in seven and onehalf seconds and cleared feet inches in the running high jump. He also performer the requir- ed lfe-saving tests as we'll as all others.
 Success earned by determination and hard work is always inspiring, but particularly so when at- tained in spite of handicaps such as that undet which young Conway won his Eagle badge.

The prices of crude oil have
begun to increase, with the re.
suit that the price of gasoline is
following suit. The small pro.
ducer of crude oil whose back
has been nearly broken by low
prices will rejoice at the upward
trend.
It is probable that as prices
begin to right themselves the
accusation will be made that the
price of gasoline has been artifi-
cially increased. Tho present
condition in the oil industry is
typical of the situation that re.
suits in any line of production
when consumption begins to out.
strip production after q prolong.
ed slump.
If a similar condition existed
in regard to the farmers wheat,
the whole country would rejoice.
While nobody expects consumers
to be jubilant over an increase
in oil prices, it is not unreason-
able to expect them to recognize
that conditions are the same as

STATE GETS ROAD MONEY.

Phoenix, Jan. 3O.-Allotment
of the $285,948 which will be
spent on forest highway projects
in Arizona during 1924 was made
at q conference in the u. S. Blu.
reau of Public Roads Office here
yesterday between officials Of
the state highway department.,
Public Roads Bureau and Forest
Service.
According to E. S. Wheeler,
district engineer for the public
roads bureau Arizona's portion
of the federal appropriation for
forest highway work this year is
more than $3.50, ,0OO less than last
years. Approximately $3.50, 900
was spent in the state in 1928.
The reduction was the result
of a decrease of 81, 900, 900 in the
congressional appropriation for
forest highway of the country
this year is S., 500, 900, as against
$6, 100000 for the same purpose
in 1923.

zona was budgeted as follows,

LUMBER WESTERN EMPLOYER.

From the standpoint of the
lumber industry, 1923 probably
witnessed the greatest lumber
movement in the past ten years.
The activity was widespread
and not local.
+ This tremendous movement OF
lumber has been achieved with.
out substantial increases in lum-
Der prices which at the sawmills
are no higher than year ago.
In fact, during the past six
months there has been a con
siderable decline in average
price.
Manufacturing costs increased
in 1923 over 1921 and 1922 and in
some numbering regions wages
paid are the highest in history.
The quality of labor performance
has been better in most instances
and the labor turnover has i'm.
proved.
Probably no single industry
has been a greater factor in
maintaining prosperity in the West
than has lumber. The mainten,
ance of sound industrial and
economic condition in our own
country is essential to continued
prosperity in the lumber indus
try.
If the movement now under
way by the Allied Reparations
Commission to investigate and
help solve the financial problems
of German is successful, the pos
sibilities for increased produc.
tions in American industries in
cluding numbering, can hardly
be estimated.

tons of green ensilage, and 20.
600 acres of dry land agriculture
would yield another 10000 tons
of ensilage, making total Of
127, 600. tons of ensilage. This
combined ensilage output at
$500 a ton would bring into the
county $637 10000.
The ensilage output of the
county would feed $4,000 head
of cattle for five months. II this
were fed to range calves or
steers, according to the expert
ence of the Ferris brothers, the
net profit would be a little more
than $40 90 a head. Let us cut
this in half and make it s. 90
head. This, then, will bring in
another $250,OOO.00, making
grand total of $1,000, 10000 an
nually, from the possible live
stock Industry of the county.
There is q movement on foot
for the erection of a milk con
densary in Nogales, Sonora,
Mexico. This will add to the
agricultural possibilities of the
county, in that it will furnish an
outlet for all the milk that can
be produced in this section of
the country, at price that
should net the farmer more for
his feed crop than can be OBJ
tained by feeding range calves
or steers.
Aside from the livestock pos
sibilities of the county, there is
a good opportunity and a pos
sibility that truck gardening
section will be developed along
the Santa Cruz river. Especial
ly is this true OF the Spanish
Valencia onion. This onion does
we'll in this section, and a few
farmers of the district have given
them a trial and are very en-
thusiastic about the results.
More will be grown the coming
year. {
Santa Cruz county has an ideal
climate for the growing of poul
try. Aside from the farm flocks
on every farm, there are several
farmers in tbet county who are
growing poultry on q CONNER
cial scale, and find it profitable
business. One farmer in the
north end of the county has mar
keted more than 400 turkeys the
past year.
Agriculturally, the resources
of Santa Cruz county are prac
tically untouched. The amount
of available tillable land in the
county is small, compared to the
total area in square miles. Live
stock farming is the principal
agricultural industry in the coun
ty, and is destined to continue
as the principal agricultural in
dustry of the county. The pos
sibilities for commercial poultry
growing is good in the entire
county. 1t is likely that q small
area will be developed for the
growing of vegetables, but the
available area for this line Of
endeavor is limited to the Sec
tions where irrigation water is
available.-Arizona Cattleman
