Hearing Is Held On
Reduction OF Long
Distance Rates

PHOENIX-Hearing of the appli-
cation of the Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company for
authority to revise the long-dis-
tance toll rates at present in effect
on interstate calls in Arizona, was
completed this week by the state
corporation commission, after a
hearing lasting about an hour.
Amos A. Belts, commissioner, and
James F. Wilson, engineer for the
commission, conducted the hearing.
The sole witness was H: D. McVay,
Arizona manager of the telephone
company. The commission took the
matter under advisement at the
conclusion of the managers state
ment.
The revision sought by the tele-
phone company will be put into eff
feet in every, part of the United
States, McVay said. Wyoming, Mon
tana, Utah and New Mexico have
already approved the change, and
it is expected that the other noun
tain states will also approve it.
''It is the telephone company's
desire to cut the rates and make
more money" was McVay's terse
summary of the purpose of the ap-
plication filed by his concern.
''This would be accomplished by
fatering the peak load of long-dis-
tance service.
Taking the PhoeniX-tO-Chicag
rate as an example, we find the fol-
lowing rates now in effect: Day
rate, n-to-station, for three
minutes, 1920, from 4 a. m. to $50
p. m.; $3.50, from $50 p. m. to
midnight, and $3.50 from midnight
to 400 a. m.
"The proposed rates would be as
follows: From 4:30 a. m. to p.
M, $6.45; from 7 p. m. to $50 p.
M, $4.85; and from $3.50 p. m. to
4 a. M, 1925.
From this it will be seen that
the day rate, which bears the peak
of the load, is decreased $2.75,
while the night rate, effective at a
time when the load is light, is in
creased only cents. 1t can there
fore readily be understood that the
decrease will result in a material
saving to telephone patrons, and at
the same time distribute the load
over the "a hours of the day.
"Under the present schedule,
there is sharp drop in rates at $3.50
in the evening, and again at mid
night. This results in heavy traf-
| fic at those hours and consequent
congestion. The revision would
materially relieve this congestion
by causing the toll traffic to be
more evenly or 'fatly' distributed"

NEW ELECTION LAW
is APPLIED ONLY TO
GENERAL ELECTION

PHOENIX Because the state
has not a sufficient interest in pri-
mary elections to warrant its bear
ing the expense of a recount of re-
turns, the law providing for such
recount when one candidate has
won by a majority of less than one
tenth of one per cent of the vote
cast, does not apply to primaries.
That is the substance of an opin-
ion which has been handed to
James H. Kerby, secretary of state,
by John W. Murphy, attorney gen
eral, according to statement
made by Frank ]. Duffy, assistant
attorney general.
''The attorney general has ruled
that chapter 20 of the session laws
of 1926 does not affect primary
elections for three reasons" Mr..
Duffy said.
'First-Chapter 20 provides that
the state shall bear the expenses
of a recount. But the state has no
interest in such recount in a pri-
mary election, while it does have a
sufficient interest in ascertaining
who has been properly elected to
conduct the business of the state
during the ensuing year.
"Second-All decisions of su-
preme courts hold that where the
word election is used in a statute,
it is construed to mean general
election and primary election
must be specifically stated if it is
to be included within the purview
of the law. Chapter 20 simply says
election, without reference either
to general or primary.
'Third-To carry out the provi-
sions of chapter 20 between pri-
mary day and general election day
would be physically impossible, as
the steps required in the act would
take more than 60 days for accom-
plishment."

1.-THE ALASKA PRIMER"

At last! A textbook for use in the Alaska schools written in Alaska by an Alaska teacher. Miss Zoe Porter, of Sitka, is the author. She received the inspiration for such a work as primary teacher in the Sitka schools.
 The Alaska Primer is designed to appeal to the interests of the child through the presentation of stories about birds, animals and general ac- tivities in his environment The racen, the gull, the eagle, the fish-hawk and the clam are the chief characters in the introductory pages. Succeeding pages contain interesting stories, ori- ginal in character and carrying a flavor which is quite distinctly Alas kan.
 That the book is constructed along scientific lines is evidenced from the fact that all of the 139 words of Thorndike's Essential Primer Vocabu- lary are used-each word appearing from ten to twenty times in order that repetition may bring mastery. The child who studies the book will have acquired a reading vocabulary of 2S( words since this is the number of diff ferent words used. New words are introduced at the rate of less thar three to each page.
 The Primer is illustrated by Hilds Keel Smith, of San Francisco. It is published by Harr Wagner Publishing Company. San Francisco. and is listed at 80 cents per copy with the usua discount for schools.

May Prove Sensation
Amendola had been beaten on
more than one occasion for his
fearless advocacy of liberal princi-
pies. In March, 1924, he was attacked
by a group of men on the main
street of Naples shortly after he
had spoken vigorously against the
Fascist method of conducting cleo
lions.
Amendola had been minister for
the colonies in the Facta cabinet
and served numerous terms as
deputy for Salerno.
The death of Amendola may prove
almost as sensational an incident in
Italian affairs as was the death Of
Deputy Matteoti.

Mussolini Is Slightly
Wounded BY Shot

censorship does not necessarily mean
that a serious state OF affairs exists
in Rome as the result of the re-
ported attempt at assassination.
On the contrary, II probably means
that no press messages are allowed
to be filed until the Government has
had an opportunity to make an
official statement on the affair.
In the absence of details from
Rome there was much conjecture
on the possible effects OF the wound
on Mussolini. The premier has been
reported recently to be suffering
from I'll health. necessitating an
operation.
some persons believed that the
wounding Of Mussolini may develop
into q more serious affair than az
first believed.
The last attempt to assassinate
Mussoiini resulted In q great popular
demonstration In favor OF the
premier and increased the strength
OF the Fascists.
On that occasion MussoIini issued
an appeal to all Fascists to refrain
from reprisals.
King Interested In Her
Miss Gibson. who Is the second
daughter Of the first Baron Ash
bourne. has been q resident in
Italy at various times.
King George Of England in.
terested himself In her case last
year when she attempted suicide,
and sent his personal physician to
attend her.
Because Of her religious fervor,
friends of Miss Gibson are inclined
to believe that indignation over
Nraa0lfrfsa nffffs1dn fs1yuars1 AlaA
Vatican. and the recent differences
between Fascismo and Cardinal
Gasparri may have prompted her
act.
Ernest Victor Gibson, brother Of
the woman now held in Rome for
the attempt on Mussolini, married
Caroline De Billier, of New York.
Lord Ashbourne, brother OF Miss
Gibson, is q resident OF France and
has written many articles and
books that have attracted atten-
ton, one OF these concerning the
liberal Catholic movement in
France.

Revenge Ii Belief
Although early reports received
here were meager, It is believed pos
sible that the attempt to assassinate
Mussolini may have come as the
direct result Of the reported Death
of Signor Amendola, leader OF the
opposition in Cannes.
Signor Amendola is reported to
have died as the results OF an at
tack, which It is alleged was made
by Fascists.
Some here professed to see In the
attack upon MussoIini an attempt
at reprisals.
This is the second attempt made
recent months.
Several persons are still he'd
prisoners in Italy as the results
Of the last attack, when a man was
seized in a hotel room fronting On
the Piazza Colonna with a rifle, it
being alleged that he had planned.
to shoot Mussolini down while lie
was making a speech from the
balcony of the Chigi Palace
There were plain indications that
q censorship has been laid down in
Italy on all messages regarding the
reported attempt on Mussolinis life
Efforts to query Rome CORE
spondents have thus far proved
fruitless.
Despite the personal orders Of
Mussolini for no reprisals and the
strenuous efforts of the authori-
ties, crowds Of demonstrators gath

raids on anti-fascists.
