TEMPE-MESA ROAD
 IN GOOD REPAIR
What Was Once a Mudhole Is Now
 Splendid Highway.

If all goes we'll the work that for several weeks has been in progress on the Mesa road east of the Pacific creamery, will be completed today. Superintendent Acuff was here yester- day taking a final look over the high way. and it is thought that the last load of dirt will be unloaded on it to- day. The road now is in better con- dition than it has ever been before. and has been graded up to a height that makes it almost impossible to flood it unless the entire surrounding country is first submerged.
 For a distance of about a quarter of a mile south of the Hayden ditch, hundreds of loads of dirt have been hauled in and farther south, across the P. X F.. road, for another quarter of a mile the same thing has been done. At the lowest place in the road the grade was raised probably as high as three feet and since it is something over twenty feet in width and every bit of the dirt was hauled there, some idea of the magnitude of the job can be gained. on the stretch of road south of the railroad a good deal of work was contributed by the residents of that section, but the piece further north was done at the county's eX- pense. The fact that that particular piece of road is a part of the Mesa Tempe road and Is also the same road used by autos in going to Roosevelt. the county spent a good deal more on 1t than 1t might otherwise have done. Today somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 have been expended in putting the road In shape. There Is one thing about 1t however. the money was spent to good advantage and the work was done in a manner that will obviate any necessity of further expense on that particular stretch of road for years to come. Two ruins on the Taylor Peters and Kingsbury ranches were partially used up in filling in the road. On the llingsbury place, a dump was arranged and the wagons loaded with scrapers-a time and money saving method.
 The quality of dirt used is such that the road packs readily. and even without being wet After a good rain the road where 1t has been repaired will be in first class shape, and what has for years been one of the worst pieces of road in this part of the country will shortly be one of the best, much to the qualification of the travel ing public.

OF
 SEWERAGE Submitted FG Consideration
 Of the Public ID COST ABOUT s33,000 Messrs. Knipe and Parish Have Furnished the Maps and Other Data and Invite Tempe People to Make a Study of the Situation.
10 COST ABOUT s33,OOO

Messrs. Knipe and Parish, the en- gineers, who a short time ago made an arrangement with the city council to supply a map, figures and data on. the proposed sewerage system, were here Tuesday evening and left at the office of the city marshal complete map of the town on which was inscribed the system as they propose to run it.
 According to their figures, the sys- tenn can be constructed at a cost of approximately s33.0OO, this figure be- ing based on the supposition that the pipe lines be placed at a depth of eight feet below the surface; a greater depth will of course increase the cost
 It is thought, however, that in a town the size of this were there are not like ly to be many deep cellars or base ments, that that depth will answer all practical purposes. The system, ac- eording to the map made by the en- gineers will give service to every resi- dence and business house in the city, embracing both Goldman's and Cages addition. According to this plan, the outflow of the sewer will be on the large island in the river a short dist ance west of town. The engineers contend that this island is sufficiently high never to be entirely covered by high water and that it's formation is of q nature that will readily absorb

all sewerage and that the outflow at this point will not be a menace to health in any way. They have found that by having the outfloy at that point. a fall of twenty-five feet or more will be given the system, which is entirely sufficient.
 one advantage of the Knipe-Farish plan is that practically all of the sew craze pipes will be placed in the alleys of the town. The main trunk will come down the alley west of Mill ave nue and as far as possible all the Oth CT small branches will be confined to alleys.
 On next Thursday evening the two engineers will be present at the regu lar meeting of the council to further explain the system. In the meantime the map is left at the marshaFs office and the public is urged to study it and become as conversant as possible with the situation. A sewerage system is one thing that Tempe must have and the sooner plans are made for it and the quicker it is installed the better.

Postal Savings and Deposit Guaranty

Unless something unexpected comes
up to change the program the voting
on the postal savings bank bill and
the amendments that are to be offered
to it will begin in the senate today.
In a speech on the question of safe
guarding the savings of thrift last
week Senator Owen Of Oklahoma gave
notice that he would move as an
amendment in the nature of a substi-
tute a bill to establish a deposit guar
anty fund for national banks out Of
the proceeds Of a tax to be levied, not
on the deposits, but on the circulation
of national banks notes.
In giving notice of his proposed
amendment Senator owen is refresh
ingly frank. Elm Offering a substitute
for the postal savings bank BILL" he
says, II do not do so under the belief
that 1t will be adopted by the senate,
but for the purpose Of calling atten-
ton to the Importance of the subject
matter and because as a democrat, be-

the national democratic convention,
for one / should like to offer to the
senate at least an opportunity to con-
form to the proposal OF the democracy
in it's last national platform" After
quoting from the platform which
favors a postal savings bank, IF the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured"
Senator Owen declares that he will
favor the postal savings bank bill, but
sees no reason why It should not be-
come a law and at the same time the
bank guaranty plan be applied to the
national banks under a system which
would permit the state banks to be a
beneficiary Of that plan also.
So the democrats in the senate will
have an opportunity to put themselves
on record for or against the deposit
guaranty scheme, although by no
means in the form which Mr. Bryan
advocated and which the people we're
led to believe would ensue II the dem
ocratic platform had been endorsed by
the election Of a democratic president.
The chance to vote for a deposit guar
anty bill. however, with the certainty
that 1t will be defeated may be utilized

Civil Service Pensions.

In hts Newark address, President
Taft gave utterance to a sentiment
strongly favorable to a pension system
for civil service employees. He init
mated that such a plan would eventu-
ally have to be adopted as a perma-
nent feature of our government, just
as it is now being adopted by the rail-
road and big industrial corporations of
the country. Some sort of a civil pen
sion system will come eventually, al
though other pressing demands on the
treasury and the present size Of our
military pension roll precludes its i'm
mediate possibility.
Provision for those who have grown
old in government employ, whether
that service incurs physical danger or
not, naturally appeals to all. Servants,
whether public or private, have their
periods of greatest efficiency, when vi
tality, keenness of perception and &C
curacy of performance are at the max
imum. And yet after that period has
pabOVu SlAAbACuty bC6lh W uttItdHt
and the service loses much of it's
former value. Many corporations and
railroads, recognizing this, have
adopted the "old age pension" in order
to be assured Of vigorous service. An
drew Carnegie has provided for the
pe~nsloning of superannuated college
professors, and many church societies
are providing for disabled and enfeeb-
led clergymen. Such conditions show
the trend of the times and may be said
to pave the way for a similar system
for government employees.
1t is urged, with reason, that a civil
pension system would increase the eff
f~ieieney of the service rendered by
those in this department. The dismis-
sal Of a faithful employe because Of
disability a%ccruing from age, leaving
him without means of sustenance, is
almost cruel, and is therefore rare.
Even "heartless corporations" realize
this fact and, until the present pension
system had been adopted, allowed the
old servant to work on, although eff
f~iciency was impaired. They believe
they are the gamers, not only in secur-
ing more active men, but in encourag-
ing fa%ithfulness and assuring them
selves Of the efficiency desired. If
true with them, the same principle
should also apply to civil service.

Farmer in a Hurry for His Mail.

Having become accustomed to mail
service once a day, the farmer is now
calling for a punctual morning deliv-
cry. Only a few years ago the Ameri-
can farmer was satisfied with getting
his mail once or twice a week, but
since rural free delivery was estab-
lished for his benefit the uncertainty
of the hours of delivery and the slow
movements of the carriers are begin
ming to seem backward to him, and the
carriers are to be stirred up to do
better.
During the last three years the
postal department has been urging the
improvement of the country roads in
order to increase the efficiency of the
rural service. In some places the
farmer has done his part toward pro-
viding better roads, and m back at
the carrier by insisting on punctuality.
1t has not been many years since the
American farmer, although a consid-
cradle factor, took what mail accom-
modations were accorded him as they
came. He worked hard and long, harry
ested all he could make the land pro-
duce and sold it for what he could get.
He had to figure closely Ito make ends
meet" Conditions are different now,
and the farmer is independent. If he
does not get his price, he holds his
produce for a rise. He has nearly every
modern convenience that a city man
has, and now he asks a greater punctu-
atty in mail delivery. and he is going
to get that, too.

Gin AZ for Country children.

A society has been organized in New
York City for the purpose of giving
children Of the poorer class of country
people a taste of city atmosphere.
Along with Boston's home for or
phaned feline derelicts and Pittsburg's
society for the betterment Of canine
social tastes, this is~one of the most
important movements of the present
generation. BY all means give the
wholesome, red-cheeked, chubby chill
dren of the country an i~nvigorating
vacation in the tenements Of the East
Side.
Two weeks of city atmosphere will
be all sufficient for most Of them. But,
just think what a vacation that would
be. 1t is time enough in which to
pick up the most delicate bits Of street
slang and habits with which to enrich
the mind and elevate the soul. Two
weeks of such a city vacation would
never be forgotten and would give the
poor country child something to think
about for a long time after. City air
for country children? Why, certainly.
By all means. They need it to develop
properly and to take to the country
for future enjoyment all the modern
c~onveniences and drawbacks of city
life.

Hemphill On to Richmond.

Deacon" Hemphill, for twenty
years the editor of the News and
Courier of Charleston, s. c., has as
sumed editorial charge of the Rich
mond, Va, Times-Dispatch. Mr..
Hemphill has been a prominent figure

has won a large place for himself, not

south, but Of the nation as we'll. AL
though a strong democrat in a demo-

larly outspoken with his conviction
that MI. Bryan is the bane of the party
and ought to be shaken off. His ac-
ceptance of the editorial chair on Vir-
ginia's foremost sheet gives him a
broader field Of influence, while it does
not remove him far from the circle of
his personal friends throughout the
south. The people Of Charleston fit
tingly demonstrated their kindly atti-
tude toward him, presenting him with
gifts and other testimonials of their
kind regard. The press of the south
generally express a deep regret that he
has seen At to make the change, for
he has been a leader whom they have
often followed. The Charleston News
and Courier is the loser and the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch the gamer by
the move.
