There is no Way to Escape

It is reported that certain young men in Phoenix between the ages of 21 and B. inclusive without any useful occupation, have deserted the corners and the poolrooms and have taken hills where they expect remain until registration on June for the selective draft That is foolish The registration itself hurt It the may hurt; especially those whom the draft hits But there is only way remain in the United States and, escape becoming target for the draft That way is to into the penitentary, and that is where these young will get if they try to escape the registration.
 The who prepared the selective draft army bill had all these schemes in mind and provided against hem arranged things so no man of reg istration could escape. Sickness absence from home, avoidable unavoidable, ignorance none of these things can be for not registering There can be no possible defense for the who does register. There will be no jury to whose tender mercies he can apepal There is only thing that happen to nina martial will consgn him to United States prison.
 Of course. if these young men intend to become perpetual fusitives they will have chance but very slim one, of beating the registration. There row chance that they may escape by going differ ent part of the country and changing their tho chances would be very against escape then The law also requires that every man of regis tration anywhre in the United States be pre- pared to show wherever he may be that he has reg stered If he has lost the which will be his proof of registration he will be required at the place where he claims have registered If his name is not in the list it is his without the slightest hope of escape for federal pententiary.
 Almost certainly, wherever one may be- if he stops for any length time somebody authoFity is going to ask him about his registration. The arm of the military law is long and extends in every direetion into every hamlet every into galleries of every mine and into the obscurest corners of every city block in the United States It is going to be harder for to conceal his identity than ever was before in the history of the country No doubt many criminal who is wanted for other offenses win

 We have secured a copy of letter addressed to County Engineers Of Ar izona,1 and signed by one J. L. Hoops, of Miami, Arizona. as follows:
 Miami Aris., May If, 1917. To County Engineers Of Arizona Gentlemen:
 At the last legislature there was bill passed that provided for the estab- lishment of a highway commission, and {; duplication of the offices of county engineers, in the case of the issuance O1 any county road bonds.
 A number of citizens of this county, myself among them, do not favor this bili and | am taking this opportunity to send you a number of blank petitions to have the bill referred to the people to see if they really want this law. In case that your views meet with ours in this matter, kindly have as many names signed as the enclosed pe- titions and return to me at the above address not later than May 2sth.

 This letter seems to indicate that an attempt is being made by county engin- ee!s to invoke the referendum on House Bill No. 175, entitled An Act Providing For the Creation of Cuonty Highway Commissions and Prescribing the Pow CTS and Duties of Such Commissions.
 MT. JIG. Ryan, county engineer of Cochise county, in discussing the mer- its of the law, and the effort to invoke the refersndum. expressed his hearty approval of the creation of said com mission, and refused to be a party to helping invoke the referendum to delay it's immediate operation.
 It is due the friends of good roads to have this matter placed squarely before them, and it at once becomes the duty of every good citizen of the state IL frown upon the actions of few ap- pointive office holders whose motives can be nothing short of personal self ishpess, with a mistaken, morbid notion (not an idea) that they are being shOrn of some of the powers now vested III them, and seemingly a fear that a dis covery might be made that good roads can he built under the direction of . commission composed of men who are capable of getting a dollars worth of road for each dollar expended, including necessary engineering worth every cent it costs.
 If any one of the counties in this state is so unfortunate as to have in stock a county engineer, who Is small enough to hold that his job is of more importance 10 himself. or anybody else than the efforts of business men to get good roads as rapidly as possible. and get the best results from the money ex- pended, he should be immediately re- moved to make room for another man who has capacity and inclination to as sist every move iTr the direction of good roads throughout the state as well as in his particular county.
 If the road commission law has i'm perfections, it also has sufficient virtue 10 encourage all good citi2ers to want to try it out as possible Improvement
