ROAD MEETINGS

Throughout the entire country
preparations are being made for an
nual road gatherings, one of the
most important of which is that of
the Inter-mountain Good Roads AS
sociation, which includes in it's mem
bership Idaho. Utah, Montana, Wy
oming, Nevada and Colorado. In
its official announcements. these
quotations are featured: Between
seed time and harvest let's discuss
the good roads question: "Boule-
wards between the cities and the
states will make travel easy and
trading profitable; will save money
and gray hairs and horses" and
finally. National Assistance for good
roads in the lnter-mountain states
won't hurt the nation and will help
everybody"
A subject which greatly interests
the lnter-mountain association is that
of opening up Yellowstone Park to
automobile travel, and the Montana
Good Roads congress is likewise, con-
corning itself in the same direction.
Recently Senator Hepburn of Idaho,
who frankly SAYS he is in favor of
federal aid for the construction of
interstate roads. introduced reso-
luton in the Senate calling upon
the War Department for information
in regard to the probable expense of

A NEW COURT HOUSE

Graham is the only county in Ari-
zona absolutely free from debt.
Graham is the only county in Ari.
zona owning a court house that is a
disgrace to civilization.
Graham is one of the post pros
porous counties in Arizona, and is
the only one not making an effort
for better. public buildings.
Why this condition?
Why is it that every stranger
must be apologised t.. for our make
shift of a court house?
The criminal term of the Superior
Court has adjourned, and not less
than fifty apologies were made to
strangers during the session for our
poor old court house, besides the
number Of evasions of truth injected
into the apologies for it's existence.
Why not have new court house?
Why not have it located on a
beautiful spot in the center of popu-
lation?
Why not locate it in a town where
the people are, or go every day?
It is matter of serious consider
alton and it is up to the people of
Stafford to act.
The county seat should be in SAT-
ford.
A united effort will move it here.
Our present court house is dis
grace.
A new court house must be built.
IL the business men of Stafford
have the sense of an Egyptian num-
my, the order will be made for its
removal this fall.
Nothing would advance the gen.
eral welfare OF the citizens of Gra-
ham county more than the erection
of up-to-date public buildings on
beautiful plot of ground in the CEN
ter Of population.
The people of this county are en-
titled to better buildings, and the
business men of Stafford are respon-
sible if they do not get them.

EMINENT OPINIONS

Joseph A. DeBoer, of Montpelier,
VT, president of the National Life
Insurance Company and one of the
candidates for Governor, has come
out for woman suffrage.-He says:
Il do not believe in exclusion on
the score of sex. So. too, it is i'm
possible to say that taxation and
representation should not be allied.
In the true democracy, capacity for
an honest and intelligent exercise of
the suffrage should govern, without
regard to sex or property. That
doctrine is fast gaining ground"
The other candidate for Governor,
Mr.. A. M. Fletcher, of Cavendish,
introduced thewoman suffrage bill
in the last Legislature, and supported
it with great independence, courage
and determination.
Grange Master G.. Fl. Smith, of
Morrisville, says:
For many years ! have been a
firm advocate of woman suffrage.
! championed this cause in the Leg
islature of 1894. The safety of our
children and the purity of our homes
demand it,"
The Vermont Grange endorsed
woman suffrage at it's last State
convention.
Horace w. Bailey, United States
Marshal, says:
There is not a single reason CIV
en- why men should vote that does
not apply with equal force to wo-
men,"
Wendell Phillips Stafford, Judge
of the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, former Vermonter,
says:
Suffrage is both a right and
duty. Viewed'either way, it belongs
to woman as much as to man."
These expressions of opinion were
gathered by the Press Chairman of
the Vermont w. S. A., Mrs. Annette
w. Parmelee.

RECALL OF CITIZENSHIP

Certificates of naturalization have
been granted in this country in times
pastprodigally. negligently and often
wrongfully, yet once citizen by
virtue of such certificate the rights
which naturalization bring have
usually been permanent. Aliens have
been hustled into naturalization
court soon after their arrival and
made citizens and voters in total dis
regard of the laws, and elections
have turned at times on the vote of
these new arrivals. made citizens by
the illegitimate hotbed process. 1t
has always been difficult to denatur-
alize an American citizen. Our laws
have not been designed to facilitate
expatiation, but the Naturalization
Act of 1906 does provide way for
recalling improvement and improper
grants of naturalization certificates
and this law the Supreme Court has
just upheld.
The decision grew out of Cali
fornia case where a certificate of
naturalization was Cancelled because
procured by perjured testimony.
The law of 1906 provides that such
certificate can be recalled on proof |
that it was obtained by fraud or 9th
erwise illegally. This the supreme
court says is sound, so wholesale
naturalization of unqualified persons
for election purposes are not final,
but may be cancelled thereafter on |
proof of their illegal origin. An
other provision of the same law pro-
vides that persons taking out ma
turalization papers and then going
abroad and residing there perman-
emily with the advantages of Ameri.
can citizenship shall forfeit their
American naturalization on the
ground that it was not obtained in
good faith.

SCHOOL LAWS CHANGED

G. o. Case, state superintendent
of school, commenting on the re-
cent changes made by the legisla-
ture in the schools laws, says:
The old school laws have been
rearranged and many amendments
have been made. A free text book
bill, state wide, passed both houses
of the legislature and has been
signed by the governor.
The requirements for the certi-
fication of teachers were slightly
modified. Life certificates are OBJ
tanned by holders of first grade
certificates, who have had twelve
years experience in teaching in the
public schools, six of which shall
have been in the schools of, Arizona.
No examinations are required. The
Importance of supervision on the
part of county school superintende MS
has been recognized, by providing
clerical help for them whenever
needed.
One very important measure
that has become law is one pro-
viding for half a million dollars for
state aid for the common schools.
This will probably increase the state
taxes from three to 20 cents on
500. Another act effects in fav-
orable way the efficiency of our
schools is one that requires every
school to have at least an eight
months term during the year, and
that makes $l00 the annual minimum
allowance for any school. In MAX
ing up our estimate in writing of
the minimum amount of school
funds needed for the ensuing year,
the county school superintendent
shall multiply $35 by the sum repre-
senting the daily average attendance
OF the county for the previous year;
adding to the above sum sufficient
amount so that no district shall re-
ceive a sum less than 500. The
county school superintendent, in
making this estimate, shall ascertain
whether or not the estimate, shall
produce the amount of money asked
for by any board of trustees, and if
not he must estimate the amount
additional needed for such districts
and certify to his estimate. The
board of supervisors of the county
shall annually, at the, time of levy
ing other taxes. levy county school,
tax rate of not less than a rate suf-
ficient to raise the minimum amount
OF money, and in addition rate on
the property of any district or dis.
tricts in which the additional amount
has been asked for, provided that
said rate in no district (exclusive of !
bond interest, and high school taxi |
is of a greater rate than 80 cents

Mr.. Case said the new school law
was now in the hands of the secre-
tary of the state. but printed copies,
no doubt, would be prepared for the
public before long. He said the
new law would greatly improve the
of the public schools
in the rural districts.
arizona, he said, believes in support
ng public schools by a liberal taxa

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Reading Increases Dividend
Sagging Prices in Dull Trading.

The market presented a very unin-
teresting appearance during most Of
the days trading. 1t was apparently
marking time until within about half
an hour Of the close, when the an
nouncement of an increase in the
Reading dividend from to 8 per cent
caused a squirt OF activity which
livened up business and caused a rapid
advance not only in Reading but in the
general list. From the opening through
out the forenoon and into the after
noon the scene on the floor recalled
some Of the dull days Of the past.
There were more sellers than buyers
apparently, but such movements in
prices as were recorded indicated more
Of an automatic fluctuation than re-
suit Of either determined bearish or
bullish inclination. Naturally, In the
absence of any pronounced support
prices had a ssgging tendency. but the
situation was accepted by some traders
as more OF preliminary TO better
ment than as evidence of great weak
ness. The bears, however, still held
to the idea that further declines were
in order but they failed to start any
vigorous raid to prove the faith of their
convictions. Some stocks exhibited
very weak tendencies and at the close
displayed heavy losses. General Chem
.la ~ vdA a
loss Of 90 points. Knickerbocker Ice
preferred, on one transaction, lost S%s
points. Amalgamated Copper was also
weak, while California Petroleum and
Mexican Petroleum recorded additional
declines over Tuesdays losses. Central
Railroad Of New Jersey lost points.
Union Pacific IL points. Western
Maryland 2ts points and Wheeling d
Lake Erie 3ss points. On the other
hand, American Tobacco made gain
Of more than points and Lorillard
advanced points. There were other
gains, but compared with the losses OF
the day the gains were very few. Al
though Reading was responsible Tor
some spirited trading after the declara-
ton of its increased dividend and sold
up several points Immediately at the
close of the market. its price was
quoted the same as at the closing on
Tuesday. The attitude Of President
elect Wilson, as evidenced in his re-
marks at the Southern Society dinner
In reference 10 panics, was the subject
Of considerable discussion in the Wall
Street district. The general observa-
ton was that the President-elect while
full of good and honest intentions, mas
not grasped comprehensively the stu
alton as It exists in fact, but accepts
It in theory. The local call money
rate was not a factor in the stock mar
ket, and trading for foreign account
was of no importance. Little encour-
agement of a clearing away of the de-
pressing market influences was shown
beyond the Reading distribution A
statement issued by Judge r. ;.
Lovett, chairman of the executive com
mittees of the Union and Southern Pa
cific system, was issued after the close
of the stock market, so its effect will
be shown in to-day's trading il at all.
