Good Roads

We do not think there is any serious object
where to the proposed sl50o00o road bond issue.
Whatever trouble may be lies the short time
which will elapse before the petitions presented
to the board of supervisors. Monday. What has
been done, and it is great deal, has been done lin
a comparatively short space of time, but much
mains to be done today.
We believe there is a general appreciation of the
need in this county of good roads especially
that all of the neighborng counties getting busy
with road building enterprises. There is greater
need that Maricopa county should get busy More

is other that well afford raise the money.
What has been said from time time regarding
the character of the roads Of this county has been

road building department within recent years. Though

CITY ASKS To
HAVE ANOTHER
BOARD HEARING

The recent decision of the Arizona
corporation commission, which will
compel the city to furnish water to
persons residing outside of the cor
porate limits for the same rates as
charged city patrons, did not meet with
the approval OF the city officials. As
a result, as application for re-hearing
was filed witr the corporation COM
mission by the city.
When the case was first presented,
the city made no attempt to introduce
evidence. Rather the city attorney
denied that the corporation commission
had Jurisdiction to act in the case. As
result, the decision was in favor of
the complaining witness.
Even in the application for re-hear-
ing, the city denies the corporation
| commissions right TO make a decision
in the case. In the application, it is
also alleged and insufficient informa-
ton was presented at the former hear
ng to justify a decision.
II is stated, however, that if re-
hearing is granted by the commission
that the city will submit evidence which
| will tend TO show that il is justified in
charging higher rates for suburban
service than for city service.
1t is probable that the commission

not re-hearing will be granted today

SOLDIER TELLS
Of PRIVILEGES
IN ARMY DUTY

There are eight god reasons why
young man should JOIN the United
States army instead of going into .
volunteer organization. Sergeant Han
nah. in charge of the local recruiting
depot knows the reasons are good be-
cause he wrote them himself. He has
had q quarter of a century's experience
in the army and believes he is quail
fled to give the reasons. They are as
follows:
THE career of a soldier is not monot-
onous, but is full OF life and activity
with sufficient work to make him effl-
! .ient and of value to the government,
and at the same time leave sufficient
! lime for his pleasures, recreations and
amusements.
! A soldiers life is filled with varied
| experiences, and he is daily coming in
! to contact with new and interesting
! propositions. The army is proud of its
! soldiers, their care, and every thing
! connected with them, and it welcomes
the most careful scrutiny and inspec-
! ton by those civilians who are inter-
ested in the soldier and his surround
! ings and who take the trouble to visit
| an army post.
The army of the United States is
| the best fed best paid and best kept
army in the world.
The soldiers opportunity for adj
vancement. self improvement mentally
and physically, pleasure, or the accum-
| ulation of savings, is of the best. The
men who constitute the army are
self-respectins. well behaved and con-
! tented body of men, worthy of the re-
spect and esteem of all law abiding
citizens
Contrary to what one sometimes
hears, the day has passed when men
other than those of good character and
habits are knowingly enlisted in the
army
IAN applicant must be between the
ages of is and 35 years of age, unmar-
able to speak, read and write the Eng
lish language, and of good moral char
acter and temperate habits
More than one-fifth of the enlisted
men of the army are non commissioned
Officers.
Men seekin employment in civil life
can have no better recommendation as
an assurance of fidelity and good Char
acter than an honorable discharge from
! the United States army.
Some persons have gained the I'M
preston that enlisted men are badly
treated by their officers. Such impress
sions are usually created by undesir-
able soldiers who have been put out o.
the service and who seek to injure th'
service they have disgraced. The uni
form never disgraces the man, but tn
man sometimes disgraces the uniform

THE REPUBLIC

Thou, too, sail on, Ship of State!
Sail on, Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears.
With all its hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless thy fate
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of STEEL
Who made each mast, and SAIL and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat.
In what a forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hopel
Fear not each sudden sound and shock.
'Ts of the wave and not the rock;
tbs but the Tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale
In spite of rock and tempest's roar
In spite Of false lights on the shore.
Sail on, fear to breast the sea,
Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers our tears
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee--are all with thee
