CARL COCREMS
 .T0 S|NC HERE

That Carl Cochems, who has won international prominence as a grand opera star will give d concert in Phoenix was the interesting an- nouneement made yesterday by Mrs. w. R. Battin, president of the Musicians club
 Mrs. Battin stated that the great singer would appear here in March under the auspices of the Musicians club.
 In addition to the interest that centers about the appearance of the distinguished singer is the great per sonal liking Phoenix holds for the musician it claims as it's own. MT. Cochems was for many years con nected with the Arizona School of Music, leaving here to continue his study abroad. He appeared in grand opera in the foremost oapitols of Europe with great success and re- mained abroad until the war. Re cently he has been concertiZing in the large cities of the east
 The Musicians club as previously announced in The Republican will present Dwight Deity in concert. The exact date for the clever 'cellists appearance has not been SC. but the affair will be an attraction of this month.

MORE HARMONY
 IN LEGISLATURE
 SAYS BUCHANAN

That there will be more harmony between the senate and house of the third state legislative assembly than existed during the session of the first and second legislature is the opinion of J. W. Buchanan of Tucson who Was business visitor in Phoenix yesterday.
 MT. Buchanan has been elected a member of every legislature since statehood. His former experiences have been as representative but when the legislature conVenes next Monday he will be lined up with the senators.
 Senator Buchanan bases his belief in harmony on the gro+lnd that the members in both houses are more conservative than they have been in the past. He does not anticipate that rhe division of conservative and radical clements will be at all equal during the coming session. In speak ing of the gubernatoral contest he said that the attitude of the citizens of Pima county was on par with those of Maricopa county and while he did not care to discuss the mat ter he admitted thai former Gov ernor Hunt had lost friends by tho stand he had taken in refusing to give up the office after the certifi- cate of election had been issued to Governor Campbell.

GOOD ROADS POPULAR
 WITH CAL|F F0RMANS

The recent vote on a sl5. .000 900 bond issue to carry on the construc- ton of goods roads in California af- forIs good indication of the growth in popularity of this class of pubic works. In 1910, the vote on an SlS,0G0,000 bond issue to inaugurate q state highway system was 93,297 to S0,50a in favor of Il. and there were II counties which cast an adverse vote. In the election last November there were 5f2. .239 affirmative and l@i,lh5 negative votes and every county voted for the issue While the sentiment against road improvements increased seventy per cent. as eX- pressd by the number of votes cast, the favorable sentiment increased 4S0 per cent during six years experience with better highways. The strongest opposition to the state bond issue of 1910 was in Los Angeles county, where the people voted against the proposi- ton by 2G.95i 10 7.G65. In 1916. the bond issue was carried by a vote of l26,361 to 39,4S5 This is particularly significant because the greatly in- creased free use of improved roads there by commercial vehicles has aroused strong opposition from rail way companies These contend that 1t is inequitahlo to tax them to builu expensive roads for the use of com petitors who pay little or nothing for the privilege and operate without any of the regulations which govern rail
 carriers. In that county. the railway companies not only paid for stheir franchises in many cases and pay : to per cent of their gross income
 to the cities and state. but are also responsible for the construction and
