made evident by his criticism of the
people who pay for electric light and

whether they are going to put the rates
up or down. Is 1t any wonder that the

Estate ENGINEER MAKES REPORT
ON APPROPRIATIONS FOR ROAD
WORK FOR THE COMING YEAR

not to exceed $4,000 per month to
cover the expense of working prison
ers on the highways. Prisoners under
guard cannot be worked with econo-
my unless they are employed in the
same locality for from six to twelve
months, therefore without this special
appropriation it would not be practi-
cal to employ them in but two coun-
ties, Maricopa and Cochise. 1t is
agreed that their employment upon
the state highways is desira BILE, and
as there is none other for them at the
present time, this appropriation is
necessary unless the labor is confin-
ed to the two . counties named.
Counties with large mileage of roads
to construct, cannot hope to complete
their links in the proposed state
highway system without such assist
ance as could be given through the
employment of prison labor at state
expense.
Receipts from the motor vehicle tax
law are covered into the state road
fund, and in 1914 was $24,32O. In
1915 it will probably be $4,000 to
$4,000.

be expended in the several counties of
the state in proportion to their as,
Sessed valuation, provided, however,
that each county shall have expended
therein not less than $4,000. The

A certain lawyer in Prescott, who

ton In the prohibition amendment to
prevent the shipment of liquor into

argument on the phrase in the amend

liquors are shipped into the state I'M

no way to prevent it. The wording
