As a tribute to Mr. Thomas A. Edison, the man who put Uric" in eletric, electrical men haze agreed to observe Oct. 21st as Edison Day.

 BUILD ITS 0WN ROADS

On the 3rd of Nov. the taxpayer of Coconino County will be called upon to vote bonds to the amount of $5,OOO,O ,OOO for the purpose of constructing State Highways" throughout the state. '''.
 This proposition of Lamar Cobb, state engineer, looks attractive on its face, but each tax payer should give it consideration before voting in favor of it By glanclng at the proposition the figures will show that all the counties are not going to benefit alike by the proposed bond issue and leads to the conclu- sion that it would be preferable to allow the counties to issue their own bonds is done elsewhere for this will permit a nore equita ble distribution of the proceeds. The proposed amendment to the consti- tuition of the state by which the state assumes an indebtedness of over $11 ,OOO, GOO for the purpose of constructing approximately 1850 miles of state roads, is 6 matter of deep concern. The approximate average costs per mile is s7 200.
 The location of the roads have been arbitrarily laid out and the tax payers have had and will not have any voice as to where the roads will be located or when they will be constructed. The only promise made is that they will be constructed as soon as it is possible to get at them, but when that will be is not known. ..-
 A joker in this constitutional amendment is the abolition of any and all rights vested in the board of supervisors by prior acts in so far as the indebtedness is concerned, absolute and supreme are the rights vested in the board of control and the state engineer in the apportioning and disburs- ing of $5, 100000, the location, relocation and constructor of the proposed 1850 miles of state roads.
