STATE SHOULD GET
 ROAD AID IN RATIO
 IF SONS SAE GAVE

That Arizona should nave her share of the federal aid road funds in the proportion that she furnished soldiers, rather than based on the antiquated figures of the census or 1910, is the contention of Thomas Aaudock. state engineer.
 MT. Maddock naS written a letter to the Arizona senators and consressmen, urging that they work for an amend ment at the special session that will put the distribution on a better basis for this state, and calling attention to the fact that soldiers were furnished on a basis of 409,2 ,203 population, while the road fund is apportioned in part under census of 204.3a4. i The letter sent to AriZona's members ! of the national legislature is as fol- lows:
 One-third of the amount Of federal aid appropriation for highway con struction is distributed among the states in direct proportion to their population. The basis of population for the original federal aid law of 19lf was the federal census of 1910. The recent additional appropriation. whicf covers a period of three years. was on the same basis.
 Arizona is one of the fastest growing states in the union and in the last de cade has more than doubled it's popu- lation. It will be two years before tho results of the next census are avail able for proportioning federal aid ac- cordins to population. The fedora government in its estimated census O 1917 for the purpose of securing sol diers. sailors and marines for th' protection of our country, official, gave Arizona a population of 409, 20 as against 204,S ,S54 by the feceral censu of 1910.
 On behalf of the Arizona highwa, department it is requested in the nex session of congress you propose an, work for an amendment to the fedora law which, instead of passing tn relative population of Arizona on tn federal census of 1910, would use tn later figures of the 1917 dratt raw. Thf would materially increase the fund received by this state for good road and thereby develop the natural re sources, which will increase the valu of all property, including governmen land.
 Yours very truly,
 THOMAS MADDOCK,
 State Engineer

With 150 service men working prac ucally night and day. without a penny of pay. and 150 civilians who have ab sOiutely refused to do any work for the Victory loan, it is no wonder that Phoenix is laboring under a handicap. The service men cannot do it all. Sup port from the civilian population Of his city is absolutely necessary to put our quota over during the present "Wake-UD Week
 Those civilians who have accepted cbairmanships of the several indus trial committees are doing excellent work. Those workers who are daily canvassing the residence districts and selling from booths on the streets are obtaining good results. The fanlt lies, not in the quality of the work being done, but in the shortage of workers. It IS distinctly up to the people of Phoenix to step forward now and get to work on this loan, or we will ride to 8 fall.
 No excuse is available Being too busy, or sick is not valid reason foI refusing to work on the loan Among the service men who are devoting their entire time and energy to putting Phoenix across, the case of Lieutenant Monte Williams of the Camouflage corps is particularly noticeable.
 Lieutenant Williams in a hand-to- hand fight on the Argonne front, re- ceived the bayonet of a German sol CT through the roof of the mouth, as the Fritzie came over the trench wal at him. At the same time he shot tht German down with his automatic ant then fell unconscious.
 Shortly after he was gassed as h' lay there, and when found three day; later it was necessary for him to spend five months in the hospital. He alst received shrapnel wounds in the shoul der and knee partially paralyzing hi his left hand and left side.
 Yet this man, who speaks with pail and difficulty and has not as yet re covered the use of his left hand ant arm, has not only bought a Victor. bond, but is devotng his entire time t selling bonds He has done excellen work speaking at meetings and selling on the streets.
 It is a shame to the people Of Phoe nix that they will permit the respon sbility of putting her quota over to fal upon the already heavily overburdene 2 shoulders of such men as this.

REVIEWS WAR WORK IF WOMAN CLUB IN
 FAREWELL ADDRESS

Every woman's club as it closes it's club season this spring will do so with satisfaction only in proportion to the service it has rendered. declared Mrs. W. W. McNeff, the war" president of the Woman's club, in her annual ad- dress and farewell to club members yesterday.
 Mrs. McNeff was literally showered with roses by the assembled club wo- men, who paid the retiring officer the highest compliment in their repeated applause at the conclusion of her ad- dress.
 The meeting of the club, which was the last of the season. was attended by S5 members, and these women as well as those who were unable to be present have given Mrs. McNeff their heartiest support during her two years admins tration.
 This has been trying year fraught with trying conditions, both locally and nationally. with great opportunities and great obligations said Mrs. : McNeff.
 i Every Womans club as it closes it's club season this spring will do so, with ! satisfaction only in proportion to the service it has rendered and in review ing the activities of our own club, thru the reports just read we find much to our credit, altho' the club work was much disturbed by Hflu- conditions in i the early part of the season. Two years ago. when the war came upon us, there were a few pessimists who prophesied that the Woman s clubs throughout the United States would lose their interest and grow weaker, but on the contrary. they have grown stronger. This war has taught club women the value of their organ 1 izations.
 "The serious problems with which we have been dealing during the past two years ahve given the women of the world 8 broader vision and a keener interest in the things Of life worth while.
 Continuing. the speaker said:
 "We are just emerging from a period of destruction and entering a period of reconstruction and when we come to- gether again, next October, under the leadership of a new president, may we as a unit of this great federation of woman's clubs. render as efficient as we have during the past two years.
 When body of women band them selves together, work along conserva- five lines, choose high ideals, keeping uppermost in their plans the needs oi the community. support all measures which will make their community T better and happier place in which tc live. then will they make the influence

JUDGE RHEA UNoPPosED.
Norfolk Ledger Drspa tch>

In the election to be held In August
tho people of Virginia will have their
first opportunity to voice their will
as to the mem bership of that highly
important agency OF government
the state corporation commission,
The vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of c. Is. Garnet will be filled by
the choice of the people between two
candidates, certainly, and proba bly, or
possibly more. Judge William F. Rhea
will offer for reelection also. and up
70 this time no opposition to him has
developed.
! That is as It should be. Judge Rhea
has served the state well In a try
ing position and there is no reason
why the voters should not reward
him and at the same time retain his
services for themselves and for the
state. In mere intellectual ability
Judge Rhea 10 well equipped, but
capacity for valuable service on the
state corporation commission re-
quires more than abstract intellect,
more than judicial poise. 1t requires
a foundation of knowledge and infor-
active experience. This Judge Rhea
possesses in abundant measure He
knows the needs of the state and of
Its sections; he knows the machinery
iof industry and commerce. and his
knowledge of the operation of rail-
roads and other factors of life today
| Is not theoretical but practical
! Crediting him with having been ac-
tive in procuring the change in the
law that made members of the state
corporation commission subject to
election at the hands of the people,
| the Richmond Times-Dispatch says:
"Of that change he long had been
a. warm advocate, and the measure
Vas enacted at the last session Of the
general assembly. Judge Rhea has a
strong hold on the confidence Of Vir-
ginia citizens. and he has won it by
the diligent and efficient manner In
which he has discharged the duties
Of his office. That confidence and the
constitutional requirement that one
member of the commission shall pos.
sess the qualifications Of a Judge Of
the supreme court lead the voters tc
unite In the hope for his unopposcd
election"
/ Opposition to Judge Rhea's re.
! election would be unwise and dis
service to the state.
