BIG CHANGES ADVISED
In BIENNIAL REPORT
OF STATE ENGINEER

A recommendation to the state legis-
lature that the proceeds from the
three cents per gallon tax on gasoline
be placed in their entirety in the state
highway fund is made by State Engi-
neer w. G. Lefebvre in the sixth bien-
nial report of the state engineer, just
published.
The report also recommends that
the tax be placed on each gallon of
fuel oil used for any kind of transpor-
tation in the state over the highways.
Arizona, the report points out, is
in extreme need of adequate and in
telGgent highway legislation based on
a thorough study of present and fu~
ture conditions and the experience of
states more advanced and older in
highway construction than Arizona.
Those familiar with the operation of
Arizona's present highway laws are
in agreement, the report states, that
revisional and additional legislation
is essential if the greatest efficiency
is to be reached in highway construc-
ton in Arizona.
The report recommends that the
legislature enact bill to finance high
way work in the state for program
of from three to five years. 1t is
recommended that the entire amount
raised by the ten cent levy upon each
500 of assessed valuation be given
to the highway department for road
work
The report points out that the aver
age motor vehicle fee paid for each
car in all of the states averages lit
tie more than $12 per car as COM
pared to a fee of about $3.50 per car
in Arizona. 1t also brings out that
the basis of paying fees in Arizona
is unfair, due to the change in en-
gine designs in recent years pointing
out that a car whose purchase
value is $500 pays the same fee as a
car valued at $4,000 or more. The re-
port asks that the law be revised to
equalize the fees.
In recommending that the entire
amount of the three-cent gasoline tax
be given to the state highway depart
ment, the report states that this form
of taxation is the fairest tax that may
be placed upon motor vehicle, point
ing out that SO states have adopted
the tax. The present division is so
per cent of the tax collected to the
county in which collected, 25 per cent
to the state 25 per cent fund, and 25
per cent to the rs per cent funds of
the counties. If the entire amount
collected was placed in a state high
way fund, the report states. the fund
would be sufficient to be of material
value in HIGHWAY developments.
Recommendation is made that the
25 and rs per cent funds be abolished.
The reasons which prompted the es-
tablishment of the rs and 25 per cent
funds have ceased to exist, the report
states, since at the tirne the division
was made there were no state high
way department and state highways.
The report recommends that the rs
per cent fund of the counties be abol-
ished and that no restrictions or limi-
tation by counties be placed upon the
distribution of the highway funds.

PRESIDENT CHANGES
FOREST BOUNDARIES

A million acres of national forest
land comprising five ranger districts
of the Datil national forest became
part of the Apache forest and a half
million acres of the Apache pass to
the Crook forest in new forest boun-
Diary alignment established by Presi-
dent Coolidge, in a proclamation is
sued January %.
Changes in the boundaries of the
Datil, Apache and Crook national
forests have been made by President
Coolidge at the request of the forest
service for the sake of economy and
convenience of administration. The
new boundaries conform to topograph-
ic features and will consolidate natural
grazing and timber units instead of
such units being divided by state or
other imaginary separating Ines
Changes in administration, District
Forester Pooler states, will be made
effective March 1.
Approximately a million acres ar
being taken from the Datil forest and
added to the Apache forest. The area
is in western New Mexico between
the San Augustine plains and the
New Mexico Arizona state line. 1t IS
in the general drainage of the Tul-
arosa, San Francisco and Blue rivers
and is broken by the high, rough San
Francisco, fGallo and Saliz mountains
and the west canyons of the Tularosas.
The new boundary line between the
Datil and Apache forests follows the
crest of the Tularosa mountains south
westerly through Eagle and Apache
peaks and along the Sheep basin dis
trict.
Five ranger districts known as the
Luna, Reserve, Mangas, Jewett and
Tularosa districts are involved in the
million acre inter-forest transfer.
These with their district rangers, the
district forester states, will be under
charge of the forest supervisor at
Springerville, Arizona beginning on
March l. 1t is believed that the work
of these districts can be supervised
with greater economy and efficiency
from Springerville than from Mag
dalena, the headquarters of the Datil
forest.
With the transfer of the western
portion of the Datil forest to the
Apache, the Datil drops in size from
the largest national forest in the con-
tinental United States with three mil
lion acres to the third largest in the
southwest. 1t will still have about
two million acres, however, and will
be easier of administration while the
addition to the Apache will tend to
balance that forest with other forests
of the southwest by raising its area
to 1,689,000 acres.
The presidents proclamation trans
fers to the Crook forest all of that
portion of the Apache forest, which
is south of the Mogollon rim be-
tween the White mountain Indian
reservation and the Arizona-New
Mexico state line. The area consists
of about a half million acres of high
plateau country in the general drain
age territory of San Francisco and
Blue rivers.

President, Communist international
IT Is known as early as 1914, when
the first shots were fired In the
fields of the imperiallst war, the
central committee Of our russian
Bolshevik) Party. inspired by Lee
min, advanced the watchword Of
creating a Third international. The
five years from t914-19f9 may prop.
erIy be called the embryonic period
Of the Communist International.
These five years saw the first
groups of Communist adherents
gathering together. During the
zimmerwald conference, a thinner
valid left was formed, which was the
first organized nucleus of the future
Communist international. Finally,
there broke out the great proIetar-
Ian revolution In our country. When
In May, 1918, the BoIshevik Party in
Russia, having already possession
of the state power, decided to
change its name to 1.-THE Russian
Communist Party, and asfew months
later when the German spartaelsts
also changed their name to the
Communist Party Of Germany, II
became evident to every revolu-
tionary that the Third tcommunIst)
international had been born.
Communist Parties have been
born In the majority OF countries.
This is the greatest event In recent
political history. The preamble OF
the comlntern's history is nearing
Its end. We are about to witness
the real history Of the Communist
proIetarian struggle for the over
throw Of capitalism 11d the set

INTERNATIONALLY -
THE undersigned parties or or
ganizations are of the opinion
that the first congress of the new
Revolutionary international must
be convened without fall. In the
period Of war and revolution it has
not only become evident that the
old SOCIALIST and soclaI-democratic
parties, and with them the Second
(socialist) international, are bank
rupt and that the intermediate eIe-
ments of the old sociaI-democracy
(the so-called "eenter') are totally
unfit for revolutionary actions, but
the idea Of truly revolutionary
international assumed concrete
form. The rapid progress of world
revolution, with its new problems,
the danger threatening this revoIu-
ton from the capitalist states,
which organize themselves against
the revolution under the hypocritic-
al device peoples union" the at
tempts of the parties of the social
traitors to come to an understand
ing, and having "amnestiedg each
other, to help their governments
and bourgeoisies to deceive once
more the working class, and finally,
the accumulated revolutionary exs
perience and Decentralization of
the trend Of revolution induce US to
take upon ourselves the initiative
for placing upon the agenda the

II is estimated that there have been
approximately 1000 wells drilled for
oil in Arkansas since the prospecting
began years ago. Many of these have
been dry holes and only about 1000
have been producers. The producing
wells have all been brought in during
the last four years in Union, Nevada,
Ouachita and Columbia counties. There
have been prospects in at least go
counties of the state and it is predict
ed that there will be from time to time
important extensions of the proven
field. SO far the wells have penetrated
only the second sand and the expert
ence in other fields has demonstrated
that there are many sands below this
that will yield heavy output of oil.
AS matter of fact, experts do not be-
lieve there is much prospect for an
early exhaustion of the possible oil
supply.
