THEY CANT REDUCE
RATES 01
WITS TO USE FUNDS
In addition to the efforts of the
various deportments of state to secure
payments for obligations they have in
turrcd In spending appropriations
made for their usa by tho last legisla
ture. the state highway department is
making eery effort to get Raymond
Karhart. the new state treasurer, to
mange ins recent action wmcn naa ueu
up federal funds and county board
funds Knt to the hisrhway depart
ment for road construction.
In order to secure full records in tho
treasurer's and auditor's office, the
highway department directed all out-
Rid funds to be eent to the stite
.treasurer. Mr. Karhart, in xhanginjr
the custom of the previous treasurer
In paylnsr claims only to the amount
of funds on hand rather than the
amount of the appropriation, has made
a deficit In numerous accounts, while
in nthr ormMiitd noma million and a
half dollars are available and in banks
drawing 5 per cent interest.
The state treasurer has taken fed
eral funds and county bond funds ar
used them to reduce tne aliference
between the funds on hand and the
appropriations, according to th state
Mghway department. The department
claims that its contracts with various
highway commissions by which it la
spending county bond lHsues Is an In
dependent state road tax fund and
hould not be used to reimburse funds
to correct the difference between the
manner of doing business of the pres
ent and past state treasurer.
The highway department is also of
the opinion that the .-"eral jrovern
ment will not permit federal funds to
be used to adjust theRe differences
and road costs to bo paid by state war
rants, which If at a discount would
mean that the federal government
would not t a dollar's worth of work
for each dollar for federal aid. The
ronnty highway commissions Involved
jrould be Coconino, Mohave and Flma.

and Aritona Mining and Smelting com

In a recent conference between the
highway commission and .representa
tives of tho Southern Pacific regard
ing the $8 rate on cement from River
side, Cal., the railroad men said that
they were helpless In the hands of the
interstate commerce commission which
had ordered the 25 per cent Increase
above the old $6.40 rate. They said,
however, that there would be another
conference, but no hope was held out
that the rate could be reduced.
The commission, therefore, will have
to pay the rate on shipments pay
ments on which have been held up
and on all that will be required for
the carrying out of the present con
tract within the sum that remains of
the proceeds of the first bond Issue.
But the statement was made, without
explanation, that not a penny of the
$1,500,000 voted on December 31 would
tc spent in freight on cement at this
rate or a rate nearly approaching it.
Some light, however, was thrown
upon this statement by gome remarks
made by Commissioner Carrick at a
meeting at Glendale night befort last
when tho subject of street paving was
taken up. Mr. Carrick is a resident
of Glendale and it was in that capacity
that he attended the meeting.
There was a pronounced sentiment
in favor of cement concrete paving,
though earlier there had been a prefer
ence for bitullthic or some other form
of asphalt. There was an Inclina
tion at the meeting not to rive much
consideration to the representatives of
the black roads until Mr. Carries, ad
dressing the meeting, paid that a time
had come, and circumstances had
arisen, which required that some
thought had to be given to costs.
He intimated that a rock road with
an asphalt surface of some type vras

mission in formulatnig Its future pro

BASS SUIT
Alleging that the Queen Creek Cop
per company has located two mill site
claims across a claim originally located
by another company, which In turn
sold It to the complainant, the Magma
Copper company instituted suit In the
federal court yesterday to compel tin
Queen Creek Copper company to re
linquish all right and title to the land
declared to be within the boundary
lines of both claims.
According to the complaint, which
alleges that the matter in dispute is
HEALTH AND
YOUR TEETH
A great many peo
ple do not know that
the condition of their general health de
pends a great deal upon the well-being of
their teeth, but such is the fact. And the
majority of physicians recommend that a
patient's teeth be put in good shape where
the condition indicated by the diagnosis
shows that such treatment of the teeth
would contribute to the general health of
the patient
Certain it Is that a great many aches and
pains which are attributed by the patient to
other causes may be traced directly to a
diseased condition of the teeth and gums.
This is true because of the close relation
ship of the nerves in certain areas, which
cause sympathetic action and distress that
can only be traced to the teeth by careful
examination.
We are very glad at all times to make a
thorough examination in all such cases, giv
ing the patient a complete statement of the
exact condition of the teeth and gums.
