What Do Bad Roads Cost Us

Bad roads last year cost Texas 49,
600. 900. Seldom is the cost Hgured on
1.-The dollar basis. Yet this is probably
the one way by which interest of the
result getting kind can be aroused.
The following figures affecting the
Lone Star State were presented at a
recent good roads meeting held in
Shreveport, La:
THE Texas farmers last year mark.
keted approximately 100000 tons OF
products. 1t cost 43 cents per ton mile
to reach the market in Texas and the
average distance hauled was only five
miles. The government average is
only % cents. Now let's figure out in
dollars the loss of the Texas farmer.
II the Texas farmer raised 5000. 900
tons Of farm products and it cost him
~ cents per ton mile to reach the mar
ket. and the average distance hauled
was i've miles. and 1t only cost %
cents per ton mile on an average
throughout the United States, then
the Texas farmers lost 20 per cent per
ton mile on 100000 tons of products
80 oNOsy AAAsEo nO AouICu LIE 6oOuS, 81
the total loss on ono mile must be ST.
100000. but the average haul was five
miles, 80 1t must be five times that
amount, which would be $8,OOO,OOO an
nually that the farmers OF Texas lose
on account Of bad roads.
Huge as IL the total cost. and com.
polling az are the figures, SO pointedly
presented. they are not 90 interesting
for themselves alone as is the plan
thus presented. Were the cost of bad
roads In every state similarly shown
the good roads movement would re.
ceive an impetus sufficient to insure
the building Of miles of good roads in
leach state every year.
Take the case of Indiana. II the
cost Of bad roads were put on the dol.
lar basis and the proposition worked
out 20 that 1t might be seen at a
glance just how much il being lost
annually. 1t would no longer be task
to arouse interest in good roads With
sentiment sufliciently aroused 1t would
not take long to formulate and push
through a plan for road building which
would AFFECT the entire state and
through which the people OF the whole
state would beneft. A measure such
~ that introduced in the last legisla
ture would not receive like fate, due
to the efforts Of interested lobbyists
With the people aroused because OF
the loss traceable to bad roads no leg
'aslature could do otherwise than pro
vide the Hesitation demanded With
'anterest thus awakened and with the
means for securing good roads work
Cd out to definite plan, according t.
. state law. bad roads would soon be
como the exception in the various
counties of tho state instead of the
rule. AZ 10 now the case in many 81
ithem. A lrst move along this line
why not get down to figures and set
what bad roads are costing us?-Soutt

TAXES POISON ROUTE
 UPON SECOND TRIAL
z aiIing in BiSbee Mrs, Lu- ella Forbes Succeeds
 at Portland

Run to earth at last by the suicide mania. Mrs. Lucia Forbes. aged twen. ty-three. formerly of Bisbee, Ariz.. took her own life at Portland, Oregon, Monday.
 The inception of the mania occurred in Bisbee several months ago. Here she purchased a bottle of iaudanum from a drug store, but apparently she fought or the mania, for letters on her person after she took the death potion. showed that she went to Kan. sas City There the mania attacked her again, and she made will, be- queathing all of her property to rela- tives.
 Alter making her last will and testa- ment she went to Portland. Ore, and again the mania appeared. Worn out and discouraged with her flight and fight with the idea of self destruction, she took the laudanum that she had purchased in Bisbes several months before, and died 4rf
 Inquiry regarding the woman and her residence here yesterday after noon revealed nothing that would throw any light on her identity Only the label on the laudanum bottle in. dicated that she had resided in Bis bee less than three month ago. In Bisbee's metropolitan population, with the hills Of the city continually shifting their burden of human popu- lation, 1t is entirely possible, how. ever, that she was a resident of Bis bee. and someone, reading of her death, may recall her. She is de- scribed in the dispatch from Portland as being young. apparently about twenty-three years of age, and very handsome
 The former home of Mrs. Forbes is said to have been Twin Falls, Iowa. Hcr father is F. F. Richmond, a wealthy merchant of that city.
 The will was written at Kansas City on December 9. and the lauda- mum was purchased some time before. Disappointment in love Is said to have bee the cause of the womans self destruction

STUDY COMES FIRST
 ATHLETICS FOLLOW
Dr. Wilde Takes Same Stand As Has Been Taken in
 BiSbee Schools

Relative to the stand taken by Principal Snider of the Bisbee high school in tho matter of athletics making class standing a qualification for making team" it is interesting 10 note that President Wilde, of the University or Arizona has adopted the same rule for varsity athletics That the rule is working fmpartially in the local high school is proven by the fact that some of the best basket ball talent in the school is at present working against that handi- cap. The rule works a double in. centive, to higher class standing and To making the high school team.
 As the rule works at the state uni versity in order for a student to take part in any Of the regular stu. dent activities, such as representing the university on an athletic team, or taking part in dramatics, or work ing on the college paper. he must pass satisfactory grade in at least two thirds of his work Should he fall below this mark in any one month he must retire from all phases Of campus life until the deficiency is made up. If he fails to pass ins hall of hls work at the end of the semes. ter. or half year, he must leave the university.
 Tn regard 10 the number of times that a student is allowed to cut, or absent himself, from his classes the rule has been made that when fouy absences are registered against any student. in one course, he is forced to take . special examination in that subject and the fee for this is S2.51

KENTUCKY HAS
 BAD OPINION
Letter Received in Bis5ee Shows Arizona Has
 Been Slandered
 Most Fouly
Ing CAN TO CAN STORY

Back in Kentucky there is an i'm pression that borders upon outright belief that people in Arizona cut their daily sustenance out of tin cans Back there they believe that in Arizona burglars use can openers instead or jimmies; that men wear
 pretty little gold can openers On their watch chains instead of cigar clippers. for do not cigars come ir cans too?
 A Kentucky Y. NJ c. A. secretary who has been offered a secretary ship at Miami, writes to a friend in Bisbee for information as to Arizona hefore the die .s cast and the death Is died. q am told that it is so hot out there that nothing grows; that everything dricz up and parches and that there is nothing to eat except what comes in tin cans the man writes end csks if t is so. As he read it. the world outside was GOV cred with snow and the affinity winds rapped is knuclSles against the cor ners of the bui ding. The radiator sang song of Medicine Hat and there were no birds nor ripping brooks nor NeTdaut meadows nor baimy sun to distinguish between seems and is"
 It appears that some teuderfoot Kentucky thoroughbred has been stuffing the folks back home: mora than likely some broke son of Ken lucky has been writing pitiful le-. tefR to the governor. the colonel, sah! for money with which to keep body and soul together-with canned chit terlings
 The girl who was bred in Ken lucky would look like a beanless pole-bean vine If stacked up against one of Arizona's prime beauties, fed from the fat Of the land. Out in California where they raise every thing under the sun-and fl there is anything new under the sun they will plant some of that next year they keep the small potatoes, the tough beans. the over-ripe tomatoes and the wilted lettuce and send the best to Arizona, for. as they say out at Los Angeles during the tourist sea- son, nothing is too good for Ari- zona
 Back in Kentucky they tear the wrapper off of cans of canned straw berries and hang them up in frames on the dining room wall. In Bisbee strawberries are always in season, as they are in every Arizona town Every grocery store show window in Bisbee shows a picture that makes the finest painting of vegetables look like a platter oi succotash.
 Arizona hands 1t to Kentucky where the corn is full of kernels and the colonels full of corn-on the brand of whiskey that 1t makes, but even the best of that comes to-Arl- zons. To Arizonans canned goods are luxuries to vary the monotonF of Californias s finest vegetables ana some day this immense stock of canned goods will come in handy when the entire population of Ken. lucky learns the truth about Arizona and migrates in a bunch to the finest state in the union Come on over, Colonel; Arizona eats nothing canned that it cannot get fresh.
 P. 5. As you will see it in the papers anyway, we must admit that we have canned the republicans.
