A FIELD FOR LEGISLATION.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Dear Sir:-One of the vital ques- tions now before the Arizona legisla- ture, deserving a good deal more at tention than it is receiving, is that of good roads.
 Under the existing conditions of our highways, the rapid transit machines which have now become a necessity lost much of the efficiency and all of the pleasure pertaining to their use. and it is conceded with practical unanmity that something must be done.
 What to do and how to do it is problem that should receive careful consideration at this time. The con- ditions prevailing in Arizona are so different from those in the states where the good roads" movement is

 Increase to One.

The High School Debating Society met yesterday afternoon and carried out a most interesting discussion of one of the current problems of the day. F. and c. Parry, Cosner and Wheeler affirmed the proposition that the appropriations for the United States navy should not exceed one bat tleship each year as long as prospects for peace are as favorable as at pres ent. Mouer, Fiske. Quinn and Hughes maintained that the present policy is the more desirable. A degree of i'm provement is noted in the ability of the young debaters to handle a ques- tion requiring considerable knowledge of important national matters. The so- ciety is desirous of debating with the Athenian Debating Club, and a chal- lenge has recently been issued to them. While this is rather big game for the inexperienced debaters to assaiI, 1t is hoped that the Normal boys can see their way clear to accept the chal- lenge. The decision was given in the affirmative.

BASEBALL TODAY
 DOUBTFUL RESULT
A Hot Contest Between Rival School
 Teams.

When the Normal boys cross bats with the Mesa high school this after noon there will be no favorites with the dopesters, for all are at sea as to the outcome of the game. The teams have not met before this season, and no conclusions can be met by measuring their strength against oth- CT teams. for they have met no rival team in common and the personnel of both teams is greatly changed since last years games. Both teams are de- cidedly improved and hence both are hopeful of victory. The Mesa team is reported to be in fine form, with Will Hams twirling better than ever, while Prof. Aver. the Normal coach, has been giving the home team a round of work outs well calculated to develop speedy team work and to acduaint the new men on the team with the task that lies before them. A decided improve ment in the battery is apparent. Cuber and Morris are fulfilling every expec- tation. and several new sluggers prom ise to give the local rooters great joy in the critical moments.
 There will be a good band of root CTS down from Mesa to equalize ad- vantages all around. As today is a holiday it is expected that a large crowd will attend the game. The game will be called at 1:20 o'clock. The price of admission is 25 cents.

An Early Beginner.
The contest enlisted my efforts from
the start. / at once figured out what
volume Of business would probably win
the house and lot. and decided that from
five to ten annual subscriptions daily
ought TO be sufficient to win.
During the first period I averaged lit
tie over eight annual or four two-year
subscriptions, and ran up over 5.OO0.OOC
votes in this period
In the second period when 1850 extra
votes were awarded with each club Of
$500. I did my hghtest work. much to
my regret after the period had passed.
My volume OF business then netted me
500, 900, so that my total TO June ! stood
about 6500.00a.
During the early part OF June I ran my
total up to S.500,000. and by the close Of
the month and the first days in July
accumulated nearly 100000 additional
making a grand total Of 10,562,013.
There was not the slightest question at
any time as TO the fairness or squareness
OF the contest. and the way in which il
was conducted. I heard all sorts OF ru-
mors about the way contestants were
piling up votes, or how weak they were
at other times. I just kept plugging. de-
termined TO take my chances"
That there was no question about the
accuracy Of the count of the various lead

able credit for the clean way in which
the contest was handled in every detail.
