DO NOT BE DECEIVED

The Silver Belt joins with the enter pris.ng element of Globe in asserting that with the success of the bond issue will come almost immediately a season of unprecedented prosperity to the city.
 The news going out to the world that Globe has voted $275,Oo0 worth of improvement bonds will inspire conf. dcnce in the city and district that it has never before enjoyed. It will mean that the people who live here, who are familiar with conditions, who have their money invested and who ''pay the freight" have an abiding faith in the future of the town and district and are determined to make of this the most acceptable mining metropolis in the world.
 AS mineral section the Globe dis trict is conceded to lead all other copper producers.
 It has the eye of the investing public today to a greater extent than any other mining section in the country.
 And while all this is true the district from mineral producing standpoint is decidedly in its infancy.
 The ground has simply been tickled in spots.
 There is a wide range of territory within twenty miles of Globe that has not even been prospected. There are thousands of mineral bearing claims gold, silver and coppcr-stin open for the locator-only awaiting the touch of tolls magic wand to heap fortune in the lap of the lucky owner.
 There are prospects-hundred of them-that will soon be developed into greater mines than those at present making the district famous.
 But before this is accomplished capi. tai must be attracted; the city must gain favorable notoriety; the people must give evidence of self confidence; in brief they must be up and doing.
 The grand opportunity will come on April l4. when the taxpayers of Globe ara called upon to settle the bond ques- tioa-shall the city of Globe issue S275,- GOO worth of bonds for improvement purposes? In other words, have the peo- pic of this city sufficient confidence in the future of the district to sign up thirty year note for money to lay the foundation stones for great and pow erful city? That is the way the ques. ton will appear to the outside world
 And what is the answer?
 We all know what 1t should be, but there are forces at work; strong, power full forces, blinded by selfshness and greed, that are trying to stay this step of progress-this wonderful forward stride. The Silver Belt knows what it is talking about.
 Twothirds of the taxpayers whose names will appear on the great register on election day must vote yes on the two bond questions if Globe is to 20 to the fore.
 With formidable opposition success will only come as the result of the expenditure of a herculean effort by the enterprising who have the best in. terests of the city at heart. Don't be deceived. The chief holders of water company stock are not on neutral ground in this battle. They are stand ing first last and all the time for the water company-for themselves, if you please. at the expense of all the people of Globe and the city's and district s future. They have we'll organized forces working this very minute They are on the stin hunt for votes now. They Il grow bolder and boldsr as time goes on, however, and on election day their hand will be more visible. But it isn t their purpose to do a great deal of work
