Eight counties have availed themselves
OF the above advaNtages.
The length of stone roads built in three
years up to 1895 equals TAI miles. In
1896, 464 miles; for 1896. 40 miles have
BEEN approved for construction and 130
miles additional petitioned for. The
estimated number of miles of road in the
State is $4,000. The average cost of
those improved is about 81 900 per mile.
The payment by the State does not cor
rectly represent one third of the total
cost, as the Supervisors salary in con-
struction, the cost of assessment and
collection of the ten per cent. benefits,
charges on supplying funds up to the
date of receiving State pay, the incident
deficiencies and some preliminary ex.
penses, are not included in the aggregate
from which the States share is proper
toned. Hon. Henry l. Budd, our State
Road Commissioner, very justly recon-
mends that the State increase its aid
toward road improvements, and that it
also provide for the construction of a
portion of experimental steel rail wagon
road.
We have thus referred to the actual
work in different sections of the country
as being better index of our future road
possibilities than any theory we might
advance. It is evident that the subject
has claimed deep thought during the ages
past. Many of the highways of those
earlier days attest the skill ard workman
ship of the time. And later on John L
Macadam, of England, in 1912 formulated
his system for road improvements, which
for simplicity of construction, durability
and cost adapted to general use stands
to-day a model in road building. But
just how far communities can macadam
their roads, especially at the present
contract charges. depends upon circum.
stances and business conditions. Our
resources as we'll as needs must be con-
sidered; and while great care should be
exeI cised in the expenditure of public
funds, yet from the standpoint of humane
treatment of the faithful horse as well as

Good Advice.

Theodore Roosevelt was not always the
fluent orator and ready extemporaneous
speaker that he is to day, says the Times
| Herald, but this is not a matter of sur
prise, as precocity is never proof of great,
ness, although it has in many instances
characterized those whe afterward be-
! came great. Theodore Roosevelt was a
wide awake, hustliDg youth, good at his
books, but better at his sports, lover
of all outdoors, and healthy, hearty,
sturdy American boy. At school he was
required to write essays, deliver orations,
''speak pieces" just as are all schoolboys
in these modern days, and his old play
mates still delight to relate how "Ted"
brought the house down by his method
of rendering that old standby, Marco
Bozzaris.
Everybody knows at least the beginning
of the stirring poem:
"At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knees in suppliance bent,
Should tremble at his power"
When young Roosevelt turn came to
speak be rose with all confidence, and be
gan
"At midnight in his guarded tent
The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knees"
Then his memory failed him, and he re
peated-
"Greece, her knees"
In vain; his memory stubboruly refused
to work. Once more he shouted desper-
ately-
"'Greece, her knees
The old professor looked over his spec
tacles and encouragingly remarked
"Grease her knees once more, Theodore;
perhaps she'll go then"

Throwing the Old Shoe.

Many persons, in throwing an old shoe
after bride do 80 in the belief that it is
to bring luck. The custom is a very
ancient one, and has wholly another
meaning. The shoe was thrown by the
parents or guardians of the bride as a
sign that all authority over the girl was
renounced. Henceforth she belonged to
her husband, feudal times chiefs took of
their shoes and handed them to theil
conquerors. in token that they accepted
defeat. So this custom of throwing the
shoe has a meaning that makes it of real
Importance.

CUTTfNG DOWN SALARIES.

Democrats of the Nineteenth Legislature are attempting to cut down the salaries of all the Terri torial officials. P. P. Parker, member of the Assembly from Maricopa has introduced a bill known as No. 173.
 Under its provisions the secretary of the governor is to be as we'll li- brarian of the Territorial library and secretary of the Territorial loan commission, receiving for all such work total salary of $1, ,000 per annum; the clerk of the board of control is as we'll to be secretary of the Territorial board of equaliza- tion and clerk of the Territorial auditor, at salary of $1.000. The officials of the Territorial peniten- tiary shall be paid: Superinten- dent, $1,S00 per anum; assistant superintendent, $1,2OO; secretary, $9O0; physician, $500; guards and other employees, each, $750; $25O each to be deducted when board is furnished. In the insane asylum the salaries are to be: Superinten- dent, $2,000; steward, $750; matren, $500.

THAT bill recently passed by the council, which is intended to install Democratic officials in office for the next two years, so that they cannot be removed by the incoming gov ernor, does not seem to meet with favor even among Democrats. The JournaJ-Mj1oer editor has heard several of the most uncompromis- ing Democrats in this section ex- press themselves very emphatically against it. The Courier, one of the most rabid Democratic papers in Arizona, opposes it as does also the Mohave Miner, another Demo- cratic paper. Democrats argue, and logically too, that the party cannot consistently father such a measure, as a Democratic legisla- Gure passed the law making It pos sible for the governor to remove officials and have control of his appointments. It is true, this was done as precautionary measure to prevent any possibility of Re- publicans holding over under a Democratic governor. But, to be consistent, the same privileges should be accorded a prospective Republican governor as was grant ed a Democrat. But there are Democrats who are not consistent JOHrnaN1Hi15eT.

THROW ON THE LIGHT.

A joint legislative committee has been appointed to investigate the work of the Territorial Board of Control and to have an expert to examine the books of the board. This is well. Now let committee be appointed of gentlemen who have no axes to grind, revenges to serve, or personal animosity to gratify. A committee of the most capable, conscientious and unbiased members of the legislature. Ther let the investigation be most thor ough searching in very particular and if there has been any wrong doing, any extravaganza, any peculation ofa penny let the public know the facts without fear or favor. But if on the contrary the investigation shows the 6trictest honesty and economy and thou sands of dollars saved the Terri tory by'and through the board of control and a fearless discharge of duty irrespective of1consequences, then let the facts be given to the public that it may be informed as to the value of the law creating the board of control as well as the official integrity of the members of the same.
 There has been so much misrep- resentatlon by irresponsible, disap- pointed would-be looters of the public funds, that many honest people have come to believe there may be a shadow of truth in the eliminating talk which has been lndulged Tn, all of which the leg islative committee will have an opportunity of sitting to the bot tom.
 Let the investigation be thorough with none but an honest purpose in view and the facts established by credible testimony and the official record and give to the public, regardless of who it may condemn or commend. Let the facts; all the facts and nothing but the facts, be brought under the calcium light of public investiga- tion. The people can always be trusted to give a just verdict - Tucson ,StGr.

"AsHURsT's bill for the removal of the penltentiary from Yuma to Prescott is good one and should become a law. Arizona 1nstitu4 tions have been adjuncts of Cali- fornia too long and the time is now ripe to give our home producers a chance to furnish supplies to in- stitutions of this kind. ."-MohaUe County Miner.
 The Vidette does not agree that the "bill is good one and should become law" and is unalterably opposed to the removal of any of the Territorial institutions until the already over burdened taxpayers of the Territory are relieved from the oppressive taxes which they are now compelled to pay. To remove any one of the Territorial institu- tions from its present location to some other would entail an ex- penditure of several thousand dol lars, and at a time when property in the Territory is already taxed to the utmost limit which it can not afford to pay. We are, and have been for years, endeavoring to induce eastern capital to come to Arizona, and during that time the greatest obstacle which has to be overcome is the high rate of taxa ton. What advantage is to be gained by the removal of the prison, except a mere local advantage to the immediate vicinity of the new location, we are unable to see; and this local advantage will be at the expense of the taxpayers of the rest of the Territory. It is to be sincerely hoped that in the in terest of public economy Ashurt's bill will fail and that the prison will remain where it is.-Nogales Vodette.

THE Prescott Courier says wood delivered in large lots could be furnished the prison, if located in that city, for $3 per cord. At Yuma 1t costs nothing. The prison farm furnishing all the wood that will be needed for the next fifty years. This alone is quite an item as the prison uses from 1000 to 1900 cords per year. Quite a saving to the poor tax payers on one item of necessary expense.
