ASK B|C DAMAGES
 FUR AUTO ACCIDENT

The sl7,00O damage suit brought by Percy j. Howard against E. F. Goodwin for injuries claimed to have been sus- tained in an accident that occurred on Central Avenue last November was be- gun in Judge Stanford's division of the superior court yesterday Howard claims that he was run over by the de- fendant's automobile and that his leg was fractured and that he received other injuries that confined him to the hospital. He was accompanied on the walk by Miss Helen Buchanan who has also filed suit against Goodwin alleging that her skull was fractured For this she asks 5000 damages.
 The morning following the accident Goodwin called at the sheriff's office and made the officers acquainted with the facts. He also inquired into the case, the plaintiff having had no know ledge as to the car or the owner until this step was taken by the defendant.
 His defense will be that he was on
 the right side of the road and only saw Howard when he stood directly in the light of the car. He has his emer- gency brake on. he declares but that
 the man stepped directly in front of the | machine and the accident could not 1 have been avoided

 Road builders must be accountable to the people. The best practice is for the supervisors to appoint a commis- sion of three members. one to be q civ T engineer, to Graw up estimates The county lets the contrac cts on the speci- fic2Uons and the commission names an engineer to supervise the work"
 MT Jastro stated that for absolute permanency. the concrete base must be used.
 Arizona is in position to do good fol itself in road building.
 1t can study results in California where tremendous experimental worf has been done on soils and in climates similar 70 your own. My advice tc you is to build permanent roads. ever if you can only build ten miles q year"

Federal Aid

State Engineer Lamar Cobb said federal aid was in sight. and that the government would contribute to the construction of main highways soon, for the first time in 75 years
 Three quarters of century ago. the government spent seven million collars on roads. IL then became dis coura ged. and has never resumed this sort of work
 'To show the amount of interest in federal aid roads, I need only state that at the present session of congress, there were sixty three road bills in- sroduced"
 MT. Cohb then told about the man ner .n which the Bankhead bill. sum marking the efforts of highway en- gireers of seven states. had beer i drafted at d conference in Oakland i Cal. and how that bill in slightly varying forms had passed both houses : of congress. The senate bill, rather tnOre favorable to Arizona, will be placed before conferees of both houses and will probably be the form in which the measure will become a law. This

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

You cannot convince the manage
ment of the Polk Hospital for Inebri-
ates at Knoxville, Ia, that prohibition
does not prohibit. They have the best
possible proof that it does. According
to the report of the county auditor
since January l the number of pa
tients sent to the hospital has been
dwindling until at present there are
just half as many patients as there
were year ago. Even before the
state prohibitory law went into effect,
the fact that Des Moines was without
saloons tended to cut down the alco-
holic patients.
There were % patients during the
last quarter of 1915 as compared with
So in the same period of 1914, and
since the first Of this year the number
has decreased still more.

REMARKABLE CHANGE.

In a statistical survey of the first six
months of prohibition In Arizona, jan
uary l to July l, 1915, Thomas X. Mar
shall shows the marked improvements
in all phases of state life. Crime, In
counties where saloons existed during
1914. fell off 1878 per cent when the
saloons we're closed. This insured saw
ing to taxpayers of $50,77S.9S In de-
creased cost OF arrests and prosecu-
tions. Even more striking are the fig
ures for the cities and towns. With q
total decrease OF 2,403, or SOL per cent,
In the number of arrests for the first
six months of 1915 as compared with
the same months of 1914. the saving
amounts to $S5,170.14. This almost on.
sets the entire amount of liquor license
revenue, $100,99S, which was surren
dered by the cities of the state.
The record of the city of Phoenix is
perhaps the most remarkable of any.
Over $5,000,000 increase in taxable
wealth, decrease in tax rate and about
$40 900 less in cost of city government
for six months, is credited to the CAPT
tai city of Arizona for the first half
OF 1914. The decrease in arrests for
drunkenness for the first six months
of 1915 perhaps surpasses that of any
city of its size in the United States.
The number Of arrests for 1914 was
1910 and for 1915 was IS. The per
capita cost of arrests for 1914 was
1888. With 1,125 fewer arrests for
the six months of 1915 for this cause
there was decreased cost of $7,S46.26
to She city.
Savings banks accounts in the state
increased nearly 100000 the first six
months, and the deposits of all banks
increased nearly 100000 up to Sep
| TENDER, 1915.
The children Of the state are feeling
the benefit Of prohibition. There were
for the first six months of 1915 1900
more children in school than for the
same period of 1914 The registration
at the state university also shows an
increase of Sc per cent over the regis
tration for 1914.

ECONOMIC EFFECT.

On top of the great moral results we
have these economic facts: In the
first three weeks of January the saw
ings deposits in the banks of Seattle
increased Is per cent. There was not
grocery store in Seattle that did
not show an increase of business in
January greater than ever known in
any month before in all the history of
the city, except in holiday time. In
all the large grocery stores the in
crease was immense. Every dry
goods store, except one, and that ]
have no figures from, had a wonderful
increase in business.
And prohibition has not lowered
rents. I know of one big dry goods
store that has had its rent increased
since prohibition went into effect.
