County Road System

On December 6 the voters of Ada
county will decide at the polls wheth-
err or not the county system of roads
and highways. as provided in an act
of the last legislature, shall be APP
piled here. This measure was en-
acted in response to an insistent de-
mand for better roads. If it is q
wise provision for Idaho there is no
portion of the state to which it can
be applied with greater profit than
Ada county. Every county requires
good roads as matter of convenient
intercourse. if for no other reason,
but this county has reached the
stage where good roads are impera-
tive If it is TO proceed further along
the line of progress. If we are go
ing TO have intensive agricultural
and horticultural activities, with
accompanying high valuation for land,
we must have good roads.
In effect. then. the question to be
submitted to the voters is, "Shall we
go ahead or shall we stand still?"
And standing still always means
going backwards.
If Ada county shall adopt the
county road system a general county

road fund will be established, all the
road overseers will be put out of
business and practically all the pre-
sent road laws will be void. The
county commissioners will be the
governing body and will act through
3 district road supervisor and his
assistants. 1t is made the duty of
the commissioners under the new
aw to construct, improve and repair
roads, and they have the power to
levy taxes, to issue bonds and to
collect assessments. In other words
if the county road system shall be
adopted here, the antiquated plan
under which the county has operat-
ed so long will be discarded and in
its stead we will have business-like
scheme under which the county will
receive some lasting benefits for the
money spent upon its highways.
1t would seem that sincere advo-
Gates of the good roads propaganda
could find no objection to the pro-
posed plan. There are always, of
course, those who oppose the dele
cation of large powers to officials,
but if we are going to have good
roads, we must have some official
body in charge of the work. If the
people have confidence enough in
any man to elect him to the position
Of county commissioner they can

on each SlOO of valuation for the purpose of county taxes specifically. This is also to be more highly com mended from the fact that compared with 1908, the assessed valuation of the county this year is nearly one million dollars less, due to the shrink age in the mine production tax, and vet the county rate is lessened ma terially for county purposes, notwith- standing this heavy decline in one branch of the eounty's resources. In other words, while the territorial tax is 30 cents higher, the straight eoun- ty tax is 20 cents lower. making the combined rate just 10 cents higher than in 1908.
 At the session yesterday the board also issued the following official or der:
 A special levy of 30 cents was made on each $lOO of valuation in school district No. l. Prescott, to apply to the bonded debt. This revenue will be applied toward the redemption of bonds and the payment of interest.
 A special levy was made of 30 cents on each S1OO of valuation in school district No. 1. for the main tenance of the High school
 A special levy of 15 cents on each SlOO of valuation was made for school district No. 9. Jerome, for the main tenanee of the High school in that city.

The only material diff ference between his version of the affair and that of the two men who escaped is that he claims the Mexi- can, Miguel Arevalo, threw a heavy slug at him and preeipitated the bat tie. Those personally acquainted with Arevalo credit his stor< that he did not throw the slug but lost no time in seeking a place of safety.

Yesterday the board of supervisors made the official tax levy of Yava- pal county for 1909. of which the following is an abstract:
 For territorial purposes, so cents on each $1OO of valuation. For ter ritorial roads, 9 cents on each $10O valuation. For county purposes: School fund, general, IS cents on each SlOO valuation. General road fund, 20 cents on each SIOO valuation County general fund, 5 cents on each SlOO valuation. Interest on funded debt, 12 cents on each $1OO valua- tion, making a total for territorial and county purposes of $2.5O on each SIOO valuation. Analysed and com pared with the tax rate of 1908, some remarkable results are shown in the economical management of county affairs prevailing in Yavapai, and in which the board of supervisors are again to be highly commended. For instance, in the levy of 1908, a rate of - cents on the S1OO was made for territorial purposes. while this year the rate for the same purpose reaches an additional , cents. and added to that is the special territorial road tax which swelIs the total to $1.O5, an increase over 1908 of 30 cents on the S1OO of valuation.
 Independent of this heavy rate for territorial purposes still further re duetion is made this year of 20 cents

TAFT WILL CROSS THE DESERT AT
 NIGHT
Will Thus See Only The Beautiful Side
 Of Arizona
From Tuesdays Daily,

Governor Sloan feels gratified that the itinerary. of President Taft So far as it applies to Arizona, has been modified. as was reported exclusively by the Journal-NIiner Instead of the chief executive of the nation af- ter he leaves Los Angeles, passing through the desert regions in the day time, the plan is to have the South ern Pacific carry him to Phoenix in the night time, arriving at the capi- tai city of Arizona at an early hour of the morning. He will then be per mitted to see the beautiful fields of alfalfa and vast area of the granary of Arizona, the Maricepa X Phoenix and the :. F., P. X P. lines cutting through miles of a cultivated and i'm proved belt of land.
 After leaving the capital city, the typographical conditions to Prescott will also be agreeable. the flora of the desert being at its best. while the pine clad mountains around this city will be witnessed, in all present ing a panorama of the country that will be pleasing. If a trip through the territory by either the Santa Fe or the Southern Pacific, followed as originally planned. the presidential party would form a misconeeption of the country and its industrial condi- tions. but by cutting through on north and south lines as. now pro posed. the true character of a great portion of Arizona will be witnessed. resulting possibly in enhancing sub stautial political conditions at an op- portune time, or when the statehood adestion is to be presented for solu- ton at the coming session of con gress. Fortified as President Taft will be by a personal inspection of the country and a familiarity with its industrial life. he will be in a posi- ton to speak intelligently and er- 1hatieally upon his return.
 Governor sloan sincerely regrets. however. that the more Populous cities of Arizona will be omitted from the presidents itinerary. which it has been found impossible to change from the fact that the Grand Canyon is specifically mentioned as an objective point in Arizona for the president to visit, and this will not be deviated from. Albuquerque is likewise pro vIded for, and from that point Texas will be reached, where the president will spend several days with his brother. Under these conditions it will be impossible for President Taft to visit the Canyon and then zig-zag back over the same routes twice, which would shatter his dates and consume several days of time not pro vided for. It is unfortunate that other large cities of Arizona cannot be routed where splendid conditions are to be seen in all lines of com mercial rating and mineral advance ment.
