MASS MEETING HELD AT WILLIAMS
 RESOLVES AGAINST ROAD BOND ISSUE

Whereas, heretofore, and on the 18th day of August, 1915, at Williams, Coconino County, Arizona, a joint meeting of a committee selected at a, public, peoples mass meeting at Flagstaff, and like committee select ed in the same way by the people of Williams, was held, and that after due consideration. the said commit tees, at such joint meeting, consider ing it advisable, and recommended;
 That in the matter of bond issue for public road improvements in Co., ,conino county, Arizona, the first moneys realized from the sale of such bonds should be expended in the con struction of road leading from the Eastern and terminating at the Vest ern boundary lines of said County; and that such road should be first constructed, before the construction of others; and,
 That the amount of such bonds to be issued should be fixed at $200,000.- co; to be sold as funds should be re- quired, until needed improvements should be completed; and,
 That all work in the construction of such roads, should be let and done by contract; and,
 That for the supervision of the construction of such roads, letting of contracts therefor, and the expend- itures of the moneys, an election should be held by the people, to elect by them an advisory selection, of three persons, one from each Supervi- soral District within said County, all to be resident taxpayers, for the ap- pointment to be made by the Board of Supervisors, with the idea that the Board of Supervisors would appoint such persons so elected by the people; and,
 Whereas, on the Sth day of March, 1916, the Board of Supervisors of Co., conino County, have called for an

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Before casting their ballots this fall producers of meat and dairy products would do well to consider economic questions and not permit preparedness and foreign policies to engross their whole attention. A Republican admi- nistration can take care of these lat ter problems in satisfactory manner, without webbing all over the conti- nent, and can also establish and main tain economic policies that will pro mote and conserve the industrial in terests of the people of the United States. The Democratic party has failed in handling all these govern ment problems.
 Producers of meat and dairy pro ducts should give special attention to economic policies because of the effect those policies have upon them and the industries in which they are engaged. The effect of the free trade policy dur ing the first 10 months operation of the Underwood tariff law, when there was no war to complicate trade, will startle those who have not studied the facts.
 From October, 1912, to July, 1913, inclusive, 10 months under the Repu- blican tariff law, our imports of meat and dairy products amounted to SIP 2,460,501, on which duty was assessed at rate which provided a goodly revenue to the Government.
 The Underwood law became effect i've October 4, 1913, and from that time up to August l, 1914, when war in Europe broke out, our imports of these products amounted to $40,545,- 512, an increase of over 226 per cent, and not a cent of revenue was req lized thereon.

any of the terms or conditions as ex- pressed in the said call for election by said Board of Supervisors; and that we do most urgently resist the handling and expenditure of any moneys by the Board of Supervisors of this County, that might be real ized from the sale of such bonds, and their dictation of how, where, when or in what manner such moneys should be expended;
 Hereby recognizing, as we do, that the subsequent action of the said Board of Supervisors, apparently ap- pointing a Highway Commission, and naming the members thereof, and the specifying of where the said moneys should be spent and how much to each place, has not any binding effect whatever, but is simply of a wholly misleading character.-Adv.

 That no limit is placed upon the said Board of Supervisors, by such call, as to how, where, when, or in what manner any or all of such moneys, proceeds of such bonds, should be spent, but that the entire control thereof is by such call left within the power of such Board of Supervisors; and, if voted, there would be no legal manner of arresting or controlling any such work or expend- itures, no matter how unnecessarily or needlessly done; and
 That said Board of Supervisors, in the making of such call for election, have wholly ignored each, every and all of the said recommendations of said meeting of said committees, so jointly held;
 That the amount of such bonds so to be voted for, is raised $50,000; and
 That there is not any provision for the letting of work by contract; and

MY AUTO, ITS OF THEE

My auto, 'tis of the, Short cut to poverty,
 Of thee I chant. I blew a pile of dough On you two years ago, Now you refuse to go,
 Or won't, or can't. Through town and countryside, You were my joy and pride; A happy day. I loved the gaudy hue, Thy four white tires so new, Now down and out for true, In every way. To thee, old rattle box, Came many bumps and knocks, For thee I grieve. Badly the top is torn, Prayed are thy seats and worn, A cough affects thy horn,
 I do believe. Thy perfume swells the breeze, While good folks choke the wheeze, As we pass by. paid for thee price, Twould buy a mansion twice, Now all are yelling "ice;"
 wonder why. The motor has the grippe, Thy spark plugs have the pip, And woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, Ague and kindred ills, Trying to pay my bills
 Since thou vert mine. Gone is my bank roll now, No more "twould choke the cow" As once before, Yet if l had the mon, So help me John-amen, I'd buy car again
 And speed some more!

He declared the present system has almost
precluded new railroad construction and
has endangered the credit of all railroads.

get up this insurrection but stfted down to

that as chairman of the commission he had
