GOOD ROADS

Now is the time to plan for
Good Roads Day in every county
in the state. Prowers county, one
of the first in the state to have
such day last year, is already
planning for this year. The sug-
gestion has been made however,
that the Good Roads Day this
year be on the same date in all
the counties along the Sante Fe
Trail and Rainbow Route.
This suggestion will probably be
carried out, and some day in April
thousands of men and hundreds Of
teams will be seen at work on one
road, and their labors will extend
over distance of more than
200 miles.
A Good Roads Day means much
to any county, and now is the time
to plan this work. From results
obtained last year, roads in the
counties having such a day were
much improved, and the work done
worth thousands of dollars.
The campaign for 5000 members
of the Colorado Good Roads As
sociation in the state is going on
with marked success. The thou
sand mark has been nearly reached
with but few counties heard from.
In all parts of the state meetings
are being held each week, and plans
for securing members at one dol
lar each are being made in each
county. Otero county this week
heads the list with 100 members to
it's credit.

THE TARIFF CHESTNUT

1t there is any one of our nat
ional institutions calculated above
all others to make the Comic Spirit
rejoice, surely it is the political
farce known as tariff revision. For
more than thirty years now our
national Legislature has devoted
much time during every session to
continuous performance of this
highly edifying and amusing en-
tertainment. We really would miss
it if it was ever actually settled.
Senators, representatives, the
public and the newspapers would
undoubtedly feel a lack, as of
dear friend missing, if any of our
presidents took definite stand on
the tariff question, either refusing
to argue it at all, or else settling it
one way or the other. What would
our presidents do for message if
there was no tariff revision to talk
about? They would be as badly
Oft as the comic papers would be
if the mother-in-law joke went
really out of fashion. 1t is all so
ludicrous, or rather it would be,
were it not 30 tragic in its effect
on the physical and moral we'll
being cf the nation.
Now that they are at it again in
Washington, with a non-committal
presidential message, and an only
slightly less n-committal tariff
board report to considerable
TarbelI.

AN OPEN LETTER

Conditions throughout the United
States have reached an extreme be-
yond which endurance is abject
cowardice. A hundred forms of
graft and theft bear down upon
the average man and woman, until
the inflictions have become intol-
cradle.
The pathos of the situation is,
that men of the La Toilette type
have sacrificed themselves for hu-
manity without hope of gain or
preferment. He has done the real
work, never wavering between
right and practical politics." He
has become discredited, ruined fl
nancially, and finally broken in
health. He now sees his following
dwindle, and take up with one who
has sensing for the psyshologi-
cal moment.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been silently
watching the La Toilette struggle.
He has never, openly at least, aid
ed. The time has come. Roosevelt
leaps forward and snatches the
credit.
Mr.. Bryan says Roosevelt is con-
vert; very well, then let him do
little sacrificing. Let him come out
squarely and back third party
movement, with La Toilette or Will
son for president.
1t is no longer a partisan fight
it is fight between the people and
the powers that prey, fight to
the finish; fight to "kick the
corrupt corporations out of poll
tics" and to make them keep their
debauching hands off the ballot.
And We don't want trimmers or
practical politicians" 1t would be
far better to lose than to compro-
mise.-James Randolph Walker.

HENRY GEORGE

Congressman Henry George, Jr.,
has introduced bill "to provide
for complete method for the
annual assessment and taxation of
real property in the District of
Columbia" 1t provides for the
gradual introduction of the single
tax. Mr.. Georges measure will,
if passed, make the holding of land
in Washington out of use a more
expensive luxury. Improving of
land will not be punished as now
by a fine in the shape of increased
taxes. The holders of vacant lots
will find it to their interest either
to improve these lots themselves,
or let others do so. Consequently,
there will be more houses, more
competition between owners for
tenants and lower rents. 1t will
be possible then for wage carners
of Washington to secure decent
living quarters on more reasonable
terms. There will no longer be
the necessity of living under slum
conditions. There will further
more be an increased demand for
labor in the city, not only in the
building trades, but in all other
industries. The untaxing of labor
will remove burden that is crush
ing industry. All lines Of business
must necessarily flourish as never
before.-Johnstown (Pa.) Demo-
crat.

THE LEGISLATURE MAY
 CONVENE IN NOVEMBER

(From Wednesdays Daily EXaminer)
 Phoenix, June 25.-It is said on the highest authority there is a strong likelihood of a second session of the Arizona state legislature. If so it may be called by Governor Hunt in November. In the event of the cleo tion law being held unconstitutional there will be no regular session of the legislature until January, 1915. In that event more than two years will elapse with no legislature in session and it is said appropriations and many other laws are absolutely indispensi- ble. The secretary of state has receiv- ed from Senator Dixon, Roosevelt s campaign manager, a telegraphic re- quest for the copies of the election and primary laws and other informa- tion necessary to beginning a fight for presidential electors in this state.

MERCHANTS PROTEST
 AGAINST TAX RATE
(From Tuesdays Daily Examiner)

(From Tuesdays Daily EXaminer)
 Tucson, June 24.-To protest vigor- ously against an increase in the tax able valuation of mercantile stocks of goods from B 1-3 to 50 per cent, Al bert Steinfield went to PKoenix today as the representative of his own in terests and indirectly of those of all other merchants in this city.
 Mr. Steinfield is to appear today be- fore the state tax commission, one of the members of which, P. J. Miller, ordered the increase when he visited the city recently. H. H. Holbert, dep uty assessor of Pima county, also went to Phoenix to appear before the com mission with reference to the same case.
 The contention of the merchants is said to be that an assessment of their stocks of goods at 50 per cent is not an appraisal which equalizes with the assessments levied against other clas- ses of property.
 In the meantime, the tax roll ot Pima county is being held open un- til a decision is reached by the s'ate tax commission It is otherwise com plete, Assessor J. w. Began states.

NEW LAW AFFECTING
 ARIZONA CORPORATIONS

(From Wednesdays Daily Examiner
 It has been called to the attention of the editor of The Examiner that there is a new law relating to the corporations.
 If the reader is an officer, or even a stockholder in such a corporation, it will be well for him to attend to this matter now, for it will be seen by a perusal of the law that $20 must be paid this month to the corporation commission by every corporation do- ing business in the state.
 This, to the general public, is the important feature of the law. The law also provides that articles of in- corporation hereafter shall be filed with the commission.
