The Doors Are Wide Open

Sessions of the "cost review board" Of the recama-
mon rvice meeting here will be open to the public
at all times The intention is to give everyone with
story to tell chance to tell it. Any information bear
ing the construction operation of the project vol
unteered by those having direct knowledge will be vel
coined; will complaints and criticisms, If specific.
Nobody IS seeking praise, but it is hoped that all the
weak spots will be pTobed-
In any proposition involving the investment of mil
lions, it is inevitable that there Will be differences of
opinion upon numerous details In proposition which
involves dealing with so many doubtful factors as any
large irrigation plan there bound to be some errors
Of judgment some missteps somewhere during the
course Of the work Even these sometimes due to
excessive caution, not caTeessness The test of eff
cheney IS the ratio that instances Of mistaken Judgment
OF mistaken expenditure bear to the whole number of
opportunities for mistakes
1t Is altogether probable that the cost review" of
this project viii develop the fact that the largest unit

greatest possible economy and the greatest practical
speed This work has been enthusiastically commended
as an engineering triumph by every engineer who has
seen It Numerous economies in material and con-
Strucon applied Valuable experience gained upon
other projects available here The direct and IN
direct savings must be enormous.
The FL Paso Valley Water Users association will
present to the "oost review board" certain schedules
upon which adjustment is desired 1t may be that
reduction of the total costs charged against the
project viii be asked But it is not likely that the DIFF
ference VIII be any very large fraction Of the total cost
Of the project and it is altogether improbable that the

principal units

pared to stand pat by every contract and agreement it
has made.

And Cheap At the Price

Complaint that money heretofore expended IN the
construction of county roads in Ell Paso county was
largely wasted is true because it has only been in the

will be asked to vote on July p.
For instance Yuma county, Arizona, with scarcely
1000 qualified voters passed road bond issue recently
Of $4,000, and the vote more than two to one
The assessed valuation of Yuma county IS less than
one-tenth that of FL Paso county. Mohave county,
Arizona with but handful of taxpayers passed road
bond issue Of 100000 by vote of 10 to and built
that fine stretch of highway the Santa Fe-Grand
Canyon national highway from Nelson to Needles

Little Apache county Arizona, has just sold S125OOo
road bond ISSUE voted by majority Of over three to
one
In Arizona they realize the imperative need OF COM
pIete system of main county roads connecting the rural
communities and more important towns with their
county seats instead of the patchwork roads formerly
made possible under the annual taxation assessed for
such purposes The bond issue Is the only method for
insuring such efficient county road systems
If other and by far less prosperous communities see
the value Of road improvement under bond issue, 1t IS
fitting that FL Paso should get into the stride It
Is contemplated to build standard concrete road from
Anthony Fabens so miles, part of the county

All Kinds Of Slang

They say Asquith, the English premier, has lately
fallen into the use Of American slang although by life
long habit he speaks an unusually clear pure classical
English The kilograms say he deliver the goods
as American use it.
To read the comments a high up Englishman
using American phrase one would think slang was
only made in America, whereas Job began coming
modern slang Slang its best the coming Of strong
apt phrases that picture situation wildly Like wit,
slang its best brings together two ideas hitherto
kept quite separate The explosion Of real fun almost
always brings together ideas habtually kept IN dit
ferent parts of the mind Slang which becomes part Of
the living speech of powerful men and thinking women
is wit.
There is sill yslang and coarse slang and youthful
slang that likes to words about like tennis balls,
and it may produce good phrases may not; but the
workman who brings his experience with his pick or
sledge OF chise into philosophy world affairs ard
comments on war craftsmanship society beauty

Is generally witty and a maker Of slang. flexible
minded professor of biology looks at farming furn
ture gluing ditch digging bread baking, and speaks
of It with words carefully measured by his scientific
habits Of speech and often his is Tesstbly
funny and he makes good phrases that deserve to
live.
Job was a grand commentator on life and work
and mystery and his phrases have been the slang Of
the world since Shakspere has been the grandly
picturesque writer who used the slang Of his day and
made it classic for al time
To speak of America the great mint Of slang IS to
call attention to the wit and philosophy Of the Amer

Polly Needs a Spanking.
Polly-aged 1s-what you are really
in need Of is a spanking. Suppose you
accept a verbal one from me
You have done a thing that is con-
temptible and dishonOrable. You have
lowered your womanhoOd by deceiving
two men-and you are likely to lower
their standard of WOmanhood when
they find out When you were with
either, he became temporarily the one
you loved-aud so, when you went to
the other. you betrayed the man you
had just thought you loved.
The standard of love for decent folk
is to love one only and to cleave TO
him OF her And since you think you
love two men, you love neither-but
instead you have morbid desire to
be made love to- You love yourself,
my girl; you love TO have your pre-
cious self cOurted and worshipped-s
And so you have supplied yorself with
two admirers. and stimulated your own
fondness Of conquest.
