GOVERNOR CAMPBELL
HT0ES PLAN TO
STOP ROAD WORK

Work on the highways and bridges
of Arizona should not be discontinued
during the war. but should be actively
prosecuted, according to Governor
Thomas E. Campbell in a communica-
ton to Thomas Maddock,' state en-
gineer.
Governor Campbell declares that in
his judgment there should be no cessa
ton in the proper maintenance of the
highways of the state until the price
of road material reaches a prohibitive
figure. The surplus of labor in the
mining camps also could be well util-
lied in Ioad work, the governor de-
clares.
Following is the letter of the gov
ernor to State Engineer Maddox:
November 2S, 1917.
My Dear Mr.. Maddox:
Replying to your communication OF
October 10, embracing the subject of
state highway activities during the
course of our present war:
After mature consideration of the
same, it is my judgment, in line with
the policy consistently annunciated by
me, that the work on state highways
and bridges should be actively prose
cuted and that roads, now part of the
state highway system, should be main
tanned and improved to the highest de-
gree of utilization by the travelling pub
lie Until such time as material and
labor have reached the point in cost,
where the former is carried beyond our
ability TO purchase the same at reason
able, average war prices and the latter
has been enlisted in the several de-
partments of military activities or in
dustrial pursuits, let us keep on at our
present rate of momentum.
From information received believe
that, at the present time. there is a
surplus of labor in several of our min
ing districts, part of which we can alb
serb for use in state highway work. 1t
is my desire that as much of this labor
as can be economically absorbed be
employed.
l wish you to understand that | ap-
preciate the spirit which impelled you
to bring this most important sugges-
ton 10 my attention, and shall be glad
to hear that you. as the head Of one
of the most important of the depart
ments of the state, will be glad to pur
sue with diligence and satisfaction, the
policy herein outlined.
Sincerely,
THOMAS Z. CAMPBELL, ,

Arizona"
BY this thrift campaign it is pro
posed by the government to raise ST.
900 100000 by appealing directly tol
the people to invest in war savings
certificates. People who were unable
to assist in the Liberty loans, even
the low installment plan, will
have a chance under the plan of this
thrift campaign to loan money to the
government to help win the war by
buying stamps at % cents each.
These stamps will be placed on sale
on December 3. and a sounder invest
ment is impossible TO secure. A few
pennies invested every day in these |
stamps will speedily roll themselves |
up, thanks to the compromising of the
interest. into a substantial sum in
dollars. and each investor can enjoy |
The pleasing satisfaction of feeling |
that he is doing something TO help the
brave boys at the front.
Let the idle pennies work.
