and on the local taxation situation
Commends Overton Plan.
Explaining the Overton plan Of
taxation, which will be studied in
hearings in Congress in the near
future, Maj. Donovan said:
''The plan formulated by Senator
Overton and others is the first
equitable and scientific plan for the
replacement of the lump sum to ap-
pear. 1t is purely a mathematical
plan. to be based on official figures
The former difficulty was that the
taxation program for Washington
could not be pinned on any basic
reasoning. The beauty of this plan
is its simplicity. The equity of the
plan is, believe. beyond doubt"
Maj. Donovan described the fexi-
bility of the proposed combination
tax plan comprising the 2 per cent
sales tax and the non-salary. non
wage personal net income tax in
contrast with the system now in ef-
feet.

Traffic Over
Arizona Roads
Gains In 1888

Traffic over the Arizona highway
system in 1888 showed a gain of
5.88 per cent over 1887, according
to studies completed today by the
plans division of the Arizona high
way department.
Local traffic, meaning vehicles
bearing Arizona license plates,
showed only a slight increase,
whereas foreign traffic, vehicles
from other states, showed an in
crease of 1888 per cent, figures
show.
It was noted when computing the
vehicle miles travelled over the diff
ferent routes that local traffic in
creases were principally In the 1r-
rigated section, or over routes con-
Meeting the irrigated sections OF
the state: Local traffic on nearly
all remaining highways during 1888
was approximately the same as Tor
1887, some showing a small de-
crease.
In 1898 foreign vehicles travelled
254, ,499 300 vehicle miles over the
state highway system, an average
daily density of 1873 foreign vehicles
per "a hours over the 3,701 miles of
roads that now compose the state
system.
A comparison of yearly figures
shows that increase in density OF
out-of-state vehicles for the year
1898 was 42.4 per cent over 1880,
whereas foreign vehicle miles for
1888 was 1912 per cent over 1880.
In other words, out-of-state We
hicles travelled a larger percentage
of miles between 1890 and 1888 than
the percentage of increase in We
hicleS.
Statiticians of the highway de-
partment say that the real reason
for the seeming discrepancy be-
tween the 424 per cent foreign
density increase and the 1912 per
cent increase in foreign vehicle
miles travelled in Arizona as of 1888
over 1880 is the additional improved
miles on the state highway sys-
tenn to places that interest foreign
traffic the most.
