 It is a short-sIghted policy that always starts figuring on the probable increase in taxes. with out at least stopping to figure out the accruipg advantages in the progress of the community. The details of the tax levy are fully set out in an able article by C.. E. Perkins, the county engineer. printed elsewhere in this issue, clearly demonstrating the tax is nil.

Snolo Storm Damaged Property
 The snow storm that prevailed in northern Arizona last week did considerable damage in se- verdi localities. At Flagstaff the fall of snow was the heaviest in history; over 5 feet fell and many buildings in the city collapsed from the weight of the snow. No loss of life is reported and the property loss is not great as the buildings wrecked were mostly old ones and not very valuable.
 In the, immediate vicinity of HoIbrook the storm lasted for only about 12 hours and less than foot of snow fell. In the coun- try south of Holbrook the storm had ragged for nearly a week be- fore it reached the lower coun- try. Prof. Peterson, county su- perintendent. was at his home in Lakeside all of last week and he states that a blizzard prevailed in that section all week. In coming to Holbrook Sunday he was forced to ride horseback as far as Snowflake.
 While the storm was unusually severe, and the fall of snow very heavy, it is not thought that the has been any considerable loss of livestock. Stock is in good condition and can withstand a long siege of cold weather. The mild weather of the past few days has caused the snow to melt rapidly and unless more falls there will soon be none on the ground in the valley.

Monuments Is Completed

Completion of the $5, 900 me morial erected by the federal government at Sentinel Point, Arizona, to Major John Wesley Powell. the celebrated scientist, who first explored the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. was an- nounced a few days ago by Se- cretary Lane. It will be dedi- cated early in the summer.
 The memorial, which stands on the rim of the Grand Canyon, is in the form of an altar decor ated in Indian imagery support a bronze tablet. It was planned to commemorate especially Major Powell's services in making the United States geological survey an efficient organisation.

Bonds Bring Good Premium

Road bonds recently voted in GiIa county to the amount of $35O. GOO have been sold at pre- mium of $2O. 100. or nearly 6 per cent above par. This is evidence that such bonds are in great de- mand by investors. and the bonds of Navajo County. if voted next Tuesday. will probably sell at just as high premium.
 Another argument in favor of voting the bonds is that any per son in the county will be pri- veleged to bid on the construc- tion of the bridges. Separate contracts will be let for each bridge and the work will be su- pervised by the county board, and opportunity will be given for the employment of local people.

Arizona Wants a Seoport

AdVices from Phoenix are to the effect that movement is on foot in that city toward extend ing the southern boundary of Arizona to and including the thirty-first parallel were taken recently by the Young Mems Business association of that city.
 The fact that such an exten- sion IS now possible was tipped off to a member of that organiza- ton by member of the diplo- matic service, and steps were taken at once which. if success ful, will give Arizona a seaport on the Gulf of California.
 To have three seaports on the Gulf of California would be one of the greatest boons ever hand ed over to this state. It would mean connecting Tucson by a direct railroad line with port on the gulf. The road already partially completed to Ajo would probably be extended so as to connect with one of these ports.
 Port Isabel and Port Lobos. two of the Mexican ports to be taken in by the proposed annexa- tion, are both large and well patronized. The extension of territory that would thus be gained, would also be a great thing for this state, as the new land would take in some of the largest and richest section of northern Sonora.
 Concerted action by the peo- ple of Arizona. in taking up this matter with the powers that be in Washington. IS sought. -Noga- les Oasis.

Bridge Bonds and Prosperity

On January 11th, 1916, the proposition of bonding Navajo county for $63. 900 for the con struction of several bridges in different parts of the county, will be submitted to the voters for their approval, On the success or failure of this proposition in a measure depends the future de velopement and advancement of Navajo county. in keeping with other counties of the state.

Vote the Bonds Next Tuesday

Vote the Bonds Next Tuesday,
 Next Tuesday. January Il, the taxpayers of Navajo county will
 decide the question whether or
 not the county shall incur a
 bonded indebtedness of $63. GOO
 for the purpose of building and
 repairing bridges in the county.
 The News believes that the
 bonds should be voted. In the first place, 1t is generally admit ted that the bridges are needed. The board of supervisors, com plying with petition of the tax payers, called the election. More over. each member of the board is a good business man. and each personally favors the bond issue.
 The fact that the members of the board of supervisors, men of sound business Judgment, and men, who by reason of their off cial positions are more competent than others to judge of the merits of the proposition. strong ly favor voting the bonds, should be sufficient reason for others to vote in favor of the bonds.
 We understand that the arol- ment has been advanced by some who are opposed to the bond issue, that the bridges can not be built for the amount call ed for S63, 900. Mir. Perkins. the county engineer. made care fuI estimates of the cost of the different. bridges. and he states positively that the money asked for in the bond election IS sufi- cient. His estimates have been examined by the engineer of the Santa Fe railroad. who was taken over the ground by NIT. Perkins, and these estimates were confirmed by him. They must therefore he correct, and the ar gument that the amount of money is not sufficient consequently falls to the ground.
 The argument that a larger issue should have been called for which would cover the cost of improving the roads as well as the bridges is trivial. A good dlspositioned housewife does not refuse the hungry man bread because she has only half loaf. She gives hlm the half loaf and builds fire to bake more bread By the same token the progress sive taxpayer should vote the bonds for the bridges. and start at once to plan for an additional issue of bonds to cover road building. When the bridges are built. the need of better roads to the bridges will be- come more emphasized. and more bonds can be easily voted.
 We believe that nothing helps so much to build up country as good roads and bridges. Money spent for such improvements IS money well spent. and we be- lieve that the taxpayers will vote wisely if they vote yes next Tuesday.
