large majority of the owners of automobiles will gladly cooperate with the police in the forcement of the traffic regulations. A man who has s6O0 to s3O00 tied up in a machine wants many safeguards possible thrown about it. But there Irresponsible drivers and and then hare-brained who recklessy inn pers property placed in his his property. The regulations promulgated by the chief of police with respect to signaling mak- ing turns, with respect to turning between crossings and with respect to the right of the road" should be rigidly applied. Every driver who neglect them should be reported to the police by any one who observes such neglect Likewise every of over-speeding. every disregard of every precaution that has been ordered should be promptly reported.
 The regulations, by the way apply to other hicles well automobiles Drivers of bugges and wagons apt be neglectful the drivers of automobiles It has been suggested also that certain kinds of vehicles should be kept off the principal streets-such vehicles are of great bulk and hide view of the street and which without inconvenience pass along other less fre- quented streets
 For instance there is no reason why a load of hay should be driven along Washington street be- tween say Fourth avenue and Fourth street. along Center street between Van Buren and Jack Neither the origin the destination of such traffic be within the points named
 Another problem this city is facing is that of parking automobiles. It is already a serious The Adams street between Center and First at nearly all hours of the day nearly obstructed that it requires careful plotting when two vehicles meet that thoroughfare Nearly all of the larger office buildings almost unapproach- able from the street during business hours. This is serious handicap to merchants and it becomes more serious with the increase of the numoer of automobiles.
 Experts are of the belief that there automobiles in Phoenix according the population than in any other city in the country. In all other cities, in of which the need is not nearly so great in Phoenix this is strictly regulated. In Los Angeles there regular parking place. Outside of these places machines allowed to stand in the street for than thirty minutes and then they stand a certain distance from the curb. They allowed to stop within certain distance of fire hydrant. It is required that the engines of automobiles snail be kept running when the machines stopped fin front of hotel entrances.

tory as the one in which his party kept
every pledge made in its platform. He
was placed at the head of the judiciary

His nomination is urged by the peo-

belief that he is the kind of man the
