ARIZONA BOYS MAY
NOT BE ELIGIBLE

Three years of experience
Bill' will keep young men of Ar
iona out of good positions, says
F. G. Athearn.
1.-The right of the Arizona boy
to earn his living in the way he
may select, is threatened by
House Bill No. so, which comes
before the voters of the State on
the fifth day of November, " says
F. G. Athearn, expert in social
and industrial economics. who is
touring the State speaking on
different referendum measures
that are to be voted on next
Tuesday. ''The Bill provides, "
Athearn saws, that a man must
have had three years actual ex-
perience as a fireman before he
can become an engineer. and
that he must have the same
amount of experience as train
man, in freight service. before
he is eligible to accept a position
as a conductor on a passenger
train.
1T is the hardest blow the
youth of Arizona may expect to
receive. In the first place, how
is this man to get the three
years experience. Apparently.
it is a bill gotten up for the ben
eft of the wandering engineer
or conductor-that class of rail-
road employe who roves about
the country and works as he feels
like it, and who is the greatest
enemy of the honest and efficient
conductor or engineer. The Ar
iona boys will not be able to
take positions with the railroad
simply BECAUSE THEY HAVE
NOT HAD THREE YEARS EX-
PERIENCE. The fact that our
sons in this State may be unu-
sually bright, and may learn to
master the work of an engineer
or conductor in less than three
years, will nave no bearing In
the matter at all.
Il don't think the fathers of
growing boys in Arizona will
countenance such a bill, espe-
cially fathers who are engineers
and conductors. Every boy in
Arizona who has ambitions to
become an engineer or cOnduc-
tor in the railroad service and
these are good paying positions
would be compelled to COM
pete with tramps from ali over
the world, who could produce a
letter to the effect that the bear
er had had three years expert
ence. Length of experience is
not a guarantee of ability. Par
ticularly is this so of the young
men of Arizona. Some men
could be firemen or brakemen
for twenty years and still not be
competent to fill the position OF
engineer or conductor.
''The BOY whom you have
raised, Mr.. and Mrs. Parent, the
Young man you have educated al
great personal sacrifice, regard
less of his ability, must take sec
ond and third place if this bill Is
passed. You have educated youl
son with the hope that some day
he would fill responsible posi-
ton and be of assistance to you
in your advanced age. But ht
will be compelled to give way t.
the rowing railroad men from tht
four corners of the globe.
Would it not be jusl as rea
sonable to say that farmer
son cannot milk the cows unit
he has had three years expert
ence herding cattle, or, to enac
a law providing that the farme
would not be eligible to drive hi
own team until he had riddel
three years in a wagon, or ha'
slept within the walls of stabl
. for three years. The man VIII
has the interests of his family
his state and himself at heart
will vote NO on these bills On
s IS bad as the other.

AUTOMOBILE PARTY WELL
PLEASED WITH UTAH ROUTE

George c. Rev, l., NJ. Custy and
A. Monson from Chicago passed
through Price last Thursday en-
route 10 San Francisco, travelling In
an automobile, The object OF their
trip Is TO find the best and most
feasible route and one that would
be the most pleasant and pietur-
esque. Rev has made the trip
through Wyoming and along the
route OF the Union Pacific railway
and In passing his opinion states
that II Colorado and Utah would
join hands and spend a little money
In a few OF the bad places that the
route through Colorado and utah
Is the only way TO come.
The accommodations are good
the scenery cannot be .excelled, the
cool mountain air and the mountain
streams would surely divert most OF
the overland travel this way The
party left Price the same day Via
