to enable you to undertake the new and important
things constantly going on in these large enter
prises, practically one, in this city and in New
York at the old A. T. Stewart stand and its
adjoining new building, where the sister Store to
this occupies two full New York blocks on Broadway
from Tenth to Eighth street and from Broadway
to Fourth Avenue.
To operate these three great buildings, always
necessary to be full of fresh goods from every part
of the world requiring such large quantities of
goods every month, year after year, naturally gives
us, to some extent of the commanding positions
in securing a choice, and sometimes control, of
certain productions and, still further the best terms
to a cash buyer.
Our Stores make their best speech for us in the
displays they make of their fullness, newness and
attractiveness.
The American mills and workshops, having
been called off from Government work, are now
engaged upon orders for our Stores; and England,
France, Switzerland and Italy are slowly getting
ready to give us things used to get, which were
not made in America, but should be and will be
some day.
Whatsoever is to be had worth having, within
limitations stated above, will be in our Stores as
early as possible and priced at proper prices

H. B. S5 and S6.

House bills No. S5 and S6 that have
 been introduced into the house have
 for their obejct the correction of an
 unjust provision that is provided both
 in the state highway code and the
 law that was passed last legislature
 that provides for the creation of a
 county highway commissioner. At the
 present time all moneys derived from
 the various sources for state highway purposes are spent on state highways | outside of cities and towns. There has been bill introduced into the legisla- ture to amend the constitution by which a bond levy of $30.000, 900 can be levied, for the purpose of construct ing about 1900 miles of paved high way in the state of Arizona. Maricopa county with assessed valuation which is between one-eighth and one ninth of the total valuation of the state, would be under obligation to pay out of | thirty million something between S3,- 100000 and s4,000,000 This amount of money would construct in Maricopa | county something near to 200 miles of | highway. As the highway law is at ! the present time or as it is proposed to l be amended not one dollar could be l spent in constructing any part of q | highway, through the cities and towns ] in the county, vet the cities and towns are assessed at about one-half the | value of the county. We do not believe
 that it is fair that the cities and towns are taxed to build roads and not one
 dollar of the money is spent within the
 cities and towns. If the bond levy l should carry then the cities and towns
 would be compelled to levy and extra ] bond levy to improve that part of the
 highway that passes through each city
 and town. l believe in good roads and
 l believe in a $30,000.000 bonded propo- sition and l also believe that each city and town in the state should receive ! some benefit from the bond issue. fol | example. in the city of Phoenix there | would be something near three miles
 of hiShawy. in the towns of Tempe anC
 Mesa about a mile and a half each ol
 three miles this would make six mile:
 and the other towns in the county
 would perhaps make nine miles. Al. 1 together. about T. miles out of the POI
 miles. That is aI that is practically
 asked for in either of the two bills
 Under the county bill if the county wa,
 to vote s3.00O, 900 dollars. the towns 1T
 the county would ask for only abou
 l5 miles as against a 150 on the out
 side. We do not think it is fair to ta,
 thousands of people that are poor an,
 burdened with heavy taxes that liv,
 in cities and towns to build highway

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
uNLIGHTED VEHICLES
Editor of Republican,

Editor of Republican,
 Dear Sir:
 This article in a literal sense could not be termed exactly as a criticism of our city or county laws, in what they might lack, but if the suggestions herein contained are needed by certain parties in general hereinafter men, toned it will tend towards saving peo- pie from getting into miX-ups which not only make crripples but sometimes result in death.
 It seems as if some people have to have a law enacted, enforced and a penalty named for violations of that law, before they can be made to sit up | and take notice; even if it is for their very benefit and safety. There does not seem to be any city or county law, which requires that l horse drawn vehicles shall carry tail lights after dark, as the autos are re- ] quired to do, and I do not see why there should be any distinction made at all, one is as liable to be hit as the other, and it would be more of a protection for the horse drawn vehicle than it would for anyone else. | Even if the buggy or wagon is on the | right side of the road. supposing a car | passes by your car and raises cur l tain of dust you cannot see the buggy that might' be in front of you, if it did not have a light on the rear of | some kind. Therefore all drivers of ! horse drawn vehicles should carry a l tail light whether the law requires il or not, for their own safety as we'll as others.

 Under any plan of financial reconstruction that may be adopted for restoring the worlds balance, there limitations placed upon the debtor nations. They are without money They have not and will not immediately have merchandise with which to dis charge their obligations. They will have to offer only their government obligations. industrial stocks bonds originating within their territorial boun- dares. and stocks bonds owned by those debtor nations. but issued by other nations.
 For the taking of the securities of either of these classes in appreciabe volume, that is in such volume would be required to accomplish anything in the way of reconstruction. the people must be depended upon. not only for short time, but permanently.
 The mere occupation by the United States of the premier position in which the has placed the leading financial country, while bringing many advantages would hardly be worth striving for. It would be a difficult position to sustain. We and England the natural supporters of the financial fabric and both should stand together. On this point says Mir. Warburg, Personally, I think it is finer and healthier for Us not to think much of rank of the responsibility of position"

The Diminishing Partisan Spirit

Probably within the next week good roads lesisla- ton will have begun to take definite shape prom ising feature the absence of reactonares and ob- structonists. Every member of influence is in favor of good roads and the expenditure Of much money as may be necessary to procure them. There is no longer consideration of taxation for good roads as burden There s on the contrary,sa realization that every dollar honestly and judiciously expended will bring rich and immediate returns
 There are only differences as 10 details Of the machinery. Perhaps in the minds of some of tho members there is stiu lingering notion that it is possible to combine good roads machinery with political machinery and that it is well to have the machinery in the control of this that party not necessarily for use political machinery but to be available in case it may be needed. We suppose some of the members feel that there may be such combination without any deterioration of tho road- making machinery
 But we believe a majority of the leaders and the members in the legislature are not giving much thought Co political machinery in the matters of schools roads and institutions which not intl- inatcly connected with politics There has been pleasing tendency shown in several bills recently n- roduced in which boards or commissions arc provided for to appoint them by rotation for fixed and definite terms: ono expiring annually that the board or commission. once established would be independent ot party domination.
 There is a getting away from ex-officio boards. composed of members elected for other purposes and generally unqualified for the work of the boards commissions.
 There was objection in the house at frs, to an independent state board of education. but it vanished and since then practically every commission proposed in other bills has been proposed to be s,ituted in the same manner
 If a state highway commission any other com mission is composed of the right kind of men, who are competent and who want to discharge their dpties. 1t will make difference what their party affiliations may be. They may be all democrats al republicans but they will not play politics. If any member. though, is put upon commission with a notion that he must his position in any way 10 party advantage he is not the right kind of for the place.
 In the formation of these commissions. the number who may belong any political party is properly limited not because such limitation is necessary for it's effect upon the commission but ocular proof Go the people that the commission is partisan itis harmless the partisan spirit which is beautifully diminishing.

Synchronization of Jerome

The I. ". W. could not have chosen a more for- tutous tme-for the operators-to bring about the closing of the mines of Jerome and ushering in a period of eight months of paralyzng ideness There are, perhaps few copper companies in this country that would not just as soon cease operations as not at this time of the uncertainty of the copper market
 Nearly everywhere forces have been reduced. It is said that there is only one great mine in the state that finds it advantageous at this time to remain in operation for development work All the others are in shape to knock off for few months to allow the demand for copper to catch up with the supply.
 We suppose, though that all the mining companies will continue operations if the people in their vicnites do not encourage the presence of the l. W. w. There will be no trouble between the mining companies and real workers Each side understands the situation and its obligation to the other side and the munity, so that if the I. ". w be kept out or under, the modus vivend of the mines and their ployes will continue until happier times come

Our Place in Reconstruction

A late address by Paul M. Warburg of the federal board and chief of the governments financial advisers outlines plan, rather suggests several plans. for financial reconstruction" Though of these plans is actually fixed by Mir. warburg Inc one to be adopted the suggestions regarding all of them definite. Naturally much of the address technical and would not be readily understood ex- cept by men who have made a study Of finance but thing is brought that had not before seen emphasized in any war reconstruction program which has been proposed-the important part the people play in it if it is to be successfulso vast must be any scheme of financial reconstruction that may hc adopted.
 T. win be too big a thing for any government too big thing for the government aided by any recog- nzed financial group or all financial groups It will be a bigger thing than the financing of the war And may imagine what would have happened if in this country the people had said to the govern nent: We approve the war and we will render you moral support and wish you we'll But we do not want -Four bonds; do not want to be bothered or bur dcned with the financing of the war"
 The nation would not have proceeded very far The government could never have raised the neces- ary money by taxation. All the financial reserves he bankers of this country could have mobilized would not have been sufficient.
 Tho war MT. warburg points out has left great responsibility upon this nation It has left 1t for the moment at least, the financial center and u has left it great opportunities for trade expansion u is not. Of course. absolutely necessary for us to discharge the responsibility; it is not necessary for to remain the financial center and it is not neces sary for us to embrace the opportunity. We can do please about that. and will remain at last the people to whether shall do these things .natever the financers may say or the government may decide. But if the people not rise to the oeca
 sion. they will have halted midway in the war Though inc Germans have been conquered the war will not nave been won

DR. VON KLE|NSM|D AND LIEUT.. REWARD AT ROTARY LUNCH

Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid. president of the University of Arizona, was the principal speaker at the Rotary club luncheon yesterday. Lieutenant Rob ert Renaud, representing the French government, also spoke at length, giv- ing many facts in an interesting way about the French sacrifices and prob lems to be solved in his home land.
 Dr. von kleinSmid's talk was full of inspiration and information yet he called attention in a direct, concrete way to many elements of the processes of readjustment following the war. It was one of the most effective and help full talks made in recent months before the Rotary club.
 Before starting the serious part of his talk, Dr. von KleinSmid humor- ously introduced his subject hy stating that "The war was ordered by the kaiser; the war is what Sherman said 1t was; the kaiser got what he ordered" A musical number was given the club as a surprise by Secretary Shedd. Songs were rendered by Mrs. Young, accompanied by Mrs. Deity.
 Captain Claude Decatu rJones was the chairman of the meeting and ably introduced the various speakers and made effective responses

that is what our highways are built for at the present time. That is what our highways are built for, for automobiles, not for traffic or freight, as roads were once built for and then compel them to issue other bonded burden to com plete the highways in the cities and towns. I have used Maricopa county as an illustration, each county in the state stands in the same position in the county in regard to it's cities and towns. As l have said before l believe in highways and also believe that the law should be amended as provided in bills S5 and s6 by which the burden would fall equally on the cities, towns and country and that the whole sys tenn under bond issue otherwise is com pleted without regard where the high ways run.
