collectable after a total sum of ST.
100000 has been raised by this special
tax, declaring, in statements given the
press, that If it is held the law be-
comes void after the above sum has
been raised by this method of taxa
ton, the state highway department
will be forced to cease all activities,
including maintenance of the roads.
The gasoline tax is now running
about 100000 per annurn, and the
ST, 100000 specified in the act will
have been raised when the April col
lections are made. A difference Of
opinion exists, however, regarding the
law, some attorneys holding that the
3-cent tax Is collectable indefinitely,
or until the law is repealed, and 9TH
ers holding that since the act speci-
fies that it is intended only to raise a
stated sum, namely, $1,500,000, it will
no longer be in effect after this sum
is reached.
Hence the appeal to the attorney
generals office for an opinion. State
Engineer Lefebvre says that without
this income the departments revenues
will drop to around $4,000 per month,
sum insufficient to do anything
with except hold it for emergency
work, such as washouts or bridge re-
pairs, and that without the gas tax the
department will be forced to close
down.
Francis Bill Unacceptable
Although Representative M. J..
Francis, of Maricopa, brought to the
legislature new highway commission
bill, which he spoke of as a compro-
mise measure, leaders of the majority
bloc in both houses declared it was
unacceptable, and hardly in the ma
ture of a compromise, having been
drafted by Governor Hunts advisers
and the highway department officials
to meet the governors views as to his
appointive "prerogatives." At eau

by the floor leaders of the me iority
bloc in each branch of the legislature
does not mean that no other legisla-
ton may be considered, it is conceded
that the matter of the gubernatorial
vetoes and the above measures will
occupy most Of the time Of the legis-
lature prior to adjournment.
River Commissions Plans
After a personal inspection by
members of the Arizona Colorado
river commission of the Glen Canyon
dam site on the Colorado, members of
the commission are authority for the
statement that the advantages of this
site as a point at which to initiate de-
velopment of the river, rather than at
Boulder Canyon, will be laid before
the upper basin states in an effort to
offset propaganda disseminated by
California in behalf Of the Boulder
Canyon project.
1t is planned to send representatives
of the commission to the upper basin
states, the Suns correspondent is in
formed, to enlist their aid, if possible,
in behalf Of Glen Canyon, before GO
ing into conference with California

Governor Hunt, as chairman of the
commission, has written and tele-
graphed the representatives of Cali
fornia and Nevada suggesting re-
newal of the conference among the
three states, broken off when the for
mer Arizona river committee went
out Of existence, but as yet has re-
ceived no replies definitely fixing a
date for the conference.

ride the governors veto of house bill
1877 and not to consider any other
highway legislation until this had been
disposed Of.
It was noticeable that Representa-
tive Francis, formerly considered an
ar1ti-adininistration member, was not
present at this CAUCUS. Francis, who
frequently during the regular session,
took occasion to severely criticize
Governor Hunt, both on matters Of
highway legislation and his handling
of the Colorado river problem, Is said
to have been bitterly disappointed be-
cause he was not appointed q member
of the Colorado river commission by
Speaker Crawford, Francis having
been the author Of the compromise
bill creating the present commission
after Governor Hunt had vetoed the
original commission bill which the
legislature failed to pass over the
gubernatorial veto.
In retaliation for what he consid-
cred the slight" to him, it is said By
his friends, Francis il charged with
having deserted the majority bloc to
cast his fortunes with the administra-
tion group, drafting his so-called
compromise highway bill" in an ef-
fort, it is declared, to wean away from
the majority supporting the original
bill sufficient votes to prevent over
riding the governors veto.
There will be no compromise" a
senate leader of the anti-administra-
ton forces said today. Either we
will override the governors veto and
pass house bill 127, Or, in my opinion,
there will be no highway legislation
enacted. The people have shown un-
mistakably during the. 30-day recess
that they desire house bill l27 passed,
and we are going to try to pass It,"

Railways Make
A Great Prize
Offer for Essay

Concerned over the increase that
took place in 1926 compared with 1925
in the number Of highway grade
crossing accidents and believing that
more care should be exercised by all
those crossing railroad tracks, the
American Railway association has
announced plans for a nationwide es-
say contest among school and college
students with three cash prizes of $3.50
each, to be awarded the authors of es-
says containing an outstanding, read
ily available suggestion for prevent
ing such accidents.
One prize of $3.50 will be awarded
by the American Railway association
for the best essay by a grammar
school student, similar prize for the
best essay by high school student
and like amount for the best essay
by college student.
Under the rules prescribed by the
American Railway association, the
subject of the essay is to be Gross
Crossings Cautiously" and each es-
say is to be limited to $50 words.
The essays must be terse, logical
and constructive and must stress the
need for greater care in approaching
and passing over railroad crossings.
The essays are to be sent to ]. 9.
Caviston. secretary of the safety sec
tion of the American Railway asso-
citation, at 80 Vesey street, New York
| City, by not later than June /. Three
persons of national reputation to be
selected later win act as judges.
Under the plan, class teachers IN
both grammar and high schools will
select the best essays from their
classes and transmit them to their
principal who will then select the best
one from that school and send 1t to
the superintendent of schools for the
county or an equivalent officer. The
! county superintendent will then select
the best essay written by grammar
student and the best one written by
a high school student in his county
and will transmit them to the Amerl-
can Railway association. Colleges
may follow the same procedure, ex.
cept that each college or university
through its proper officer, may select
one essay and transmit direct to the
| American Railway association.
In 1925 there were 5,92l highway

California mile and -a-quarter track.
When were 5, 900 measured miles completed?
April 5th, 1927, at 3:03 A. M.-4o09 minutes
after the test started. Since this total elapsed
time included time for stopping for fuel, relief OF
drivers, etc, it is obvious that the car attained
speed far greater than mile minute.
Who drove The Commander?
Harry Hartz, champion American race driver,
started, finished and was driving at the time each
record was established. He was relieved by
Eddie Hearne also one of Americas great speed
kings, Louis Wilson, another race driver, and Alb
