FOR BETTER ROADS.
Arizona to Receive $I37,o27 From
 Our Uncle Sam.

Arizona will receive $137, ,O27 under the Federal government road appropriation for the fiscal year from July l, 1917, to July 1, 1918. Thirty two states in the Union receive more from the government than Arizona and fifteen receive less out of this fund of $1O,OOO,OOO for good roads than Arizona did.
 Since the appropriation for the fiscal year ending July l, 1919, is to be third larger than the one ending in 1916, Arizona may count on receiving third more for 1918 19 than for 1917 IS. The scale will be a steadily rising one. for the fiscal year ending July 1920, the sum of $2O,OOO, GOO will be expended and the year following, $25. .OOO,OCO.
 This appropriation has noth- ing to do with the million dollars a year for period of ten years which the federal government is expending in building trails and developing roads within or part ly within the government for ests. Out of this sum Arizona gets the sum of $59, ,OOO this year in addition to the other amount mentioned d.-Exchapge.

AJO COMING TO THE FRONT

The Ajo district, located in Pima county, 42 miles southwest of Gila Bend, is rapidly coming to the front, as one of Arizona's great mining centers. The i'm mensity of the ore bodies de- veloped in this district, is phe- nomenal. The new Cornelia has blocked out tonnage of 42, ,OOO, GOO; the Ajo Consolidated has developed over 10000 tons of high grade ore. and the Ajo Cornelia, adjoining the Ajo Con- solidated, is, in the opinion of experts, destined to become the next great mine of the district. With these properties and others, Ajo will, in a very few years, be one of the greatest centers of the copper industry in Arizona, if not in the west
 The Ajo Cornelia property is one of the newest and one of the most promising companies of the district. Great outcrops of high grade ore abound, and it is the company is at present sink ing shaft. A diamond drill will be put to work in the near future. President Ed ward Grant, who is in charge of the work, expects to sink the big double compartment shaft to a depth of 500 feet in the next three months, and then to start cross cutting. Bunk houses, toolsheds, and other surface buildings have been erected, and an abundant supply of tools is on the ground.
 The town of Ajo, a mile dist ant from the Ajo Cornelia, is a growing mining camp of 4OOO people. With the completion of the new railway by the New Cornelia people, and the en- trance of the three big mines in to the shipping class, Ajo is ex pected to jump to 10000 popula- tion. Miner.

RAILROADS AND WAR.

The action of the interstate COM
merce commission is technically favor
able to the railroads, because it expe-
dites a decision on railroad rates and
a prompt putting of them into effect,
if increase be granted. The outlook
for physical transportation in this
country, says the Bache Review, is un-
favorable In case, for instance, the
crop this year is 10 per cent larger
than last. the roads would not be able
to handle it. Only by putting an en-
barge on regular business shipments
could the crop be brought forward.
This with food shortage problems Sc
rious, makes urgent, immediate help
to the roads. One hundred thousand
more cars are needed and could be
ready only if ordered at once and if
the government requisitioned their
construction as a war measure ahead
of other orders. But the roads cannot
order these cars on their present out
look for income. Nor 90 they feel
warranted on their earnings in paying
the exorbitant prices of the times. A
solution would be either that the gov
eminent require government conces-
sion in prices for the cars. also as
war measure, or that quick and large
increase be given in rates.
The railroads are the arteries of the
war body. Their efficiency is abso-
lutely necessary for successful fighting
operations, and the fight for food this
year is a part of the campaign. It is
conceivable that the interstate COM
merce commission under war pressure
will grant the full increase. 1t is in
conceivable that some relief will not
be given.

Lawrence did not have to get up

and the next was pastry and pud-
dings. Everything was done over and
over until the young wife had the

GOVERNMENT FOOD CONTROL.

There is much complaint in all di-
rections about high prices. and indi-
cations already point to 1essened con-
sumption. Food is exceedingly high,
says Henry Clews in his Financial Re-
view, and unless relief is found some
sort of government food control may
be expected as war measure. The
labor situation also promises to be-
come more acute. Scarcity is already
pronounced, and will be more so when
half to one million men are drawn
into the army
Not less than three men are required
at home to support one in the field, so
that the labor situation calls for
prompt and intelligent consideration.
There are some industries from which
no men should be withdrawn into
the army; their services being much
more valuable to the country in their
present occupations. President Will
son wisely called attention of the ma
ton to the cultivation of economy by
the public. Extravaganza should be
discouraged in all quarters, and I'M
necessary labor should be released for
more necessary purposes. Not only
should economy be enforced, but pro-
duction should be increased by every
possible means
Some classes of labor may .be-asked
to do their share by moderating or
suspending during the war restrictions
which have tended to increase the cost
of commodities, especially in indus
| tries where war profits and war wapes
have aggravated inflationary ten

found for overcoming scarcity. There

WASTING TIME.

The work of raising an army in this

were finally settled upon as the way
to do it. But there is every indication
that the administration plan will be
adopted and all the talk is a waste of
time and is INDUCED in largely for po-
litical effect.
The volunteering principle rests for
its effectiveness, says the New Repub-
lie, upon an unreasoning form of CO.
ercion that selects the best, the most
responsible, the more socially minded,
for risk of extinction. This is not all
the mischief 1t would do in the pres
ent crisis. 1t is idle to assert that we
are united in support of this war.
There are thousands who believe that
we should not have made war. and
who would prefer ineffective TO effect

their utmost to discourage recruiting.
We may be able to suppress overt
anti-recruiting campaigns, but a vast
zeal OF activity OF the kind can be car

prove utterly negligible. But the enc

we must make it clear at once that the
pro-German party in this country
whether large or insignificant, can
find no point at which to bring OBJ

must remain no possibility that pro-
Germanism may nullify our efforts to
raise men.
