GOVERNMENT PLANT IN VIEW.
Bills introduced Appropriating $11,'
100000 for Armor Plate Factory.

Appropriation of s11.ooo,ooo for a
government armor plate factory and
gun forging plant, at a site to be Sc
lected by the Navy Department, is pro-
posed in bills introduced yesterday in the
Senate by Senator Tillman and in the
House by Representative Tavenner of
Illinois.
Mr. Tavenner asserted advocates of
the proposition, backed by Secretary
Daniels, would insist upon a hearing
before the naval committees and that
Congress would enact legislation along
this line as part of the preparedness
plan. The bill is practically similar to
the measure introduced by Chairman
Tillman of the Senate naval committee.
The question will be up for fight in
the House naval committee later on.

That the committee should not depend

suggestion made by John Hadley Doyle

PHOENIX NEEDS
 MORE PAVING
Among Business Men Gen orally Lack of Paving Work Past Few Months is One of Principal Topics of Discussion

There must be more paving in Phoenix Citizens generally are agreed upon this point. Among the business men the lack of paving in Phoenix the past few months is one of the leading topics of conversation and discussion. It is not question, say the majority of them, of the particu- lar kind of paving. but it is ques- tion of a suitable paving at the right price and what is more to the point actually being laid.
 It developed a, the hearing of the charges against Manager Parish yes terday, that a class of bitulithic pav- ing, with a four-inch concrete base, ne-inch less than that laid in the business district, is being contracted for at price of slightly over $1.90, as compared with the price of $2.15 usually charged for the five-inch base. For practically every purpose of the average street. except perhaps that where exceptionally heavy traffic ob- tains, such pavement, say those who know, would be fully adequate. The desirabilty of such pavement is read fly to be seen in the pavement on the business streets, some of which has now been down for three or four years and still shows little or no signs of wear.
 The argument of those boosting for paving just now is that it will not only solve the unemployed problem, but will increase the intrinsic values of city property at an even greater ratio than the actual expense in volved
 Any class of pavement adopted will be better than no pavement, but as 1t is possible to secure a standard pave ment at the present time at con- siderable decrease over the price of the first pavement laid in this city those who read the signs of the times" are adopting a slogan, Pave Now" on the same basis as are those who following the suggestion of The Republican are adopting another slo- gan. Build Now
 There are those who say they would pave if they had the money. In this connection it is pointed out that for all paving there is provision where by the payments may be extended over period of years. usually ten years. This means that the owner of fifty foot front lot would be called upon to pay approximately four dollars per month which includes interest in li- uuidation of the debt incurred.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Man ager Parish has recommended two o1 three different types of pavement. he would instruct the city engineer tc furnish grades as promptly as possi- ble for any district where paving is desired There is a probability that good class of pavement can be se- cured for later on. Hundreds of un- employed men could be given work in Phoenix right now if there were some good paving jobs in progress. The people would be receiving more than their moneys worth and needy familities would be benefited by the work thereby created.
 The Republican is for paving and for paving now.

The knot is open enough to allow for adjustment to rough ground surface. At the same time it is as close and compact a staple tie can be driven without making ruin ous fluctuations in the wires of the fence. The whole process is na- tural and easy that even the zinc coat ing on the wires is scarcely marked. It is the finest practical combination of all the good points of all the staple tie fences on the market.

One of the most important features about a fence is it's knot The Page LION knot is bent and crimped just enough so that it gets a firm grip on the stay and line wires and prevents slipping yet does not break the heavy galvaniZng. The Page LION knot has no sharp bends. It prevents slip ping not by being tightly wound around the wires the way most knots are made. indenting, partially cutting and there by weakening the wires, but by being coiled in such a way that any pull on the stay and line wires only tightens the knots grip more securely-its Lions grip. The Page LION" knot positively cannot slip
