BY LYLE ABBOTT

At pretty nearly every season of the year. Wickenburg has some right to kick on the condition of the only road it's got that leads to the Salt River Valley and the states capital. But just now, when the great summer bug bites the Southrons and causes them to point the radiators of their cars and flivvers and motorcycles northWard to where it is cool and full of pine woods and fish -haunts, why, Wickenburg just naturally raises the long howl of dis tress.
 For, Wickenburg is one place that everybody going north on the main travelled road must pass. Naturally, Wickenburg favors a much more inn pressivc set of highway. For while the condition of the Phoenix Wickenburg section of road really reflects discredit on the entire county, it is this north ernmost Maricopa village that gets all the o6!um And. believe us, it is con- siderable odium, too.
 In a recent issue of the Miner, it's editor says sharp and deserved things about the condition of the road. High way Robbery. he calls it.
 He pursueth his theme in this wise:
 If there ever was a section of the country that needed some voice in its own government and some say-So as to the disposal of the taxes it pays into the public treasury, this part of the country around Wickenburg is the one bright. shining example.
 Our people have paid their assess ments with all the promptness that the law in it's majesty demands, and the governing powers of the two counties that jointly control the territory have

taken these funds and applied them elsewhere, and left the people who went down into their pockets and dug up the cash, perforce, with the bag to hold.
 Our people have waited and endured and paid for years, hoping that some time their turn would come. The turn not appearing to have any inclination to come of it's own VoltiOn last winter our people went after it in a clean, gentlemanly way. The results they at tained were to secure promises from both of the counties involved that they should have passable highways. Later these promises were flat -footedly repu- diated and our people were plainly told that they could expect nothing from Yavapai, and Maricopa follows the lead with a statement that they will do nothing until Yavapai does, feeling secure that they have made a great stroke by throwing the onus on that county. Our people have literally paved the tributary roads with rubber scraped off the tires of their motor vehicles while waiting for the super visors of the interested (probably dis interested) counties to do something to
  tions They have paid out thousands of dollars in rubber tires and excessive freight charges, and the only return that they have had is the doubtful sat isfaction of seeing the money that they have paid in taxes go to Phoenix and Prescott to provide boulevards, that the denizens of those two burgs may have easy roads for their machines.
 At last, some of our people have been pushed to the point where they have to have roads. An instance of this is the present work being done by the Monarch Mining and Smelling com pany on the county highway from Wickenburg to Phoenix The road is impossible, economically, to the means of transportation that this company uses. They have been paying their taxes to Yavapai county ever since they have been operating as a company in this district, and. in addition, have spent, to date. over three thousand dol lars on the roads that they are obliged to traverse to conduct their business, and are now doing extensive work in putting one of the states great arteries of travel-the Prescott to Phoenix highway-in a condition that they may haul their product to market over it.
