 They didn't need to give a subsidy not so much as picayune. The roa l just had to come their way whether It wanted to or not. Her big men sat placidly back in their revolving chairs, with their fert cooked up on
 their desks and their thumbs in the arm-holes of ;heir vests and calmly figured up their profits when the new road came and values increased.
 But Kansas City was blcss.d witj, the possession of half dozen enter prisins men. They counsellad and cor sidered. When the time was ripe they called mass meetings and aroused the people. Bonds were voted, the bridge was built, the new railroad entered the city shops were established and q marvelously prosperous era intro- duced.

 Here Is an object lesson for Phoenix and the Salt River valley. We are stagnant today. Our city will grow no larger because a clty's business ami growth depends upon the development of surrounding resources. Our chief resource is agriculture, and it's chum, horticulture. These resources depend entirely upon water, and our water conditions are such that no greater area of land can be cultivated than now and not only that. but the area now under cultivation is not perform ing its full duty. We can cure the ills of which We complain for we hold the remedy. The voting of bonds vii! en- able us to secure plenty of water for the proper irrigation of much more land than we now cultivate. By doing this we establish foundation upon which to rear a permanent and ever increasing prosperity. What Kansas City did we can do.
 With our farm lands doing their best, the dlscontented from other sections will flock in. They will bring money. New railroads will greet us. Shops will be established. Shelters will be To- cated here for the accommodation of the thousands of miners who now must ship their ores to Colorado or Texas. Let us kick off our swaddling clothes and assume the station and preroga- tives of man. Nobody loves dwarf. He will always be despised or merely tolerated. His position par excellence for centuries has been that of court fool. The man who helps himself, and who shows to the world that he is ca- pablo of corraling success will receive the homage. the admiration, the as- sistance of mankind everywhere. And what is true of man individually is true of him collectively. Phoenix may remain city of 10000 people if she chooses to sleep. She can be city of 5o.00O in less than ten years If she wills It. What Is your pleasure. citizens of Phoenix?
