While the executive indicates that
Re will be fair in the matter, State
Engineer Maddox. on whose recon-
mendation the future of the project
to a large measure depends, has come
out against it in the following quoted
interview:
"To give Yuma what she is asking
for would be unfair to the rest of
the state" was the opinion of State
Engineer Maddox, who continued:
yuma contributes $4,000 to the
State General Road fund and yet the
people of that county want nearly
81 ,000, 900. The proposal made yes
terday by the Yuma delegation was
to put up for the highway out of a
proposed bond issue only Is per cent
of the estimated cost of the road. On
the highway Yuma desires to spend
$15O,OOO and obtain from the state
and federal fund about 100000 more
1t can't be done"
Everything will be done toward
getting the Phoenix Yuma highway
built that is consistent with the rights
and interests of other portions of the
state" said Governor Campbell Sat
urday, with reference to the confer
ences which We're held on the subject
of boulevard from Phoenix through
Yuma and the Imperial Valley to Sar

 The adyices reaching here state that the army Is not what would be called disorganized mass by any means; in fact it is understood that the BoIs are afraid to openly attack 1t, but, by reason of the fact that adequate facilities for transporting supplies and war materials are not at hand, koIchak is being compelled 10 give up all of the ground he gain ed in his recent advance and there is no hope that he will again be able to regain it.

WASHINGTON, Aug. -(P)-De- sible for the average government employee to support himself properly on the wage paid by the government, Representative Fitzgerald today ask ed President Wilson to use his in tluence to raise the wages of all gov ernment clerks and other employees. In making the request the represen- tatiye said that it was common talk in business circles that all employees of the government are notOriously underpaid and that he for one was In favor of remedying the situation. He also expresses himself as willing to introduce bill for a general wage raise in the event that his ideas meet with the approval of the President
 Another argument used in favor of a proposed raise in the wages of gov ernment employees is that the best men cannot be secured for the posi- tions open on the governments wage scale. This condition of affairs, 1t is pointed out, is causing the forces in some branches of the governments scale. This condition of affairs. it is pointed out, is causing the forces in some branches of the governments affairs to be woefully deficient on account of the fact that good men will not work for the government when they are better paid elsewhere.

the respect of those on the side lines
watching the struggle between cap
ital and labor. The attempted blow
up of laborer's home Wednesday
evening is the browning event in
the red career of the foreign element
composing the l. w. W. here. Not
having the nerve to go up against the
head of the house, they attempt to
assassinate his wife and children. 1t
is to be hoped that the authorities
may succeed in capturing the party
or parties guilty of the crime and
that an example will be made of the
guilty ones. The "frame-up" howl
will now follow on the part of the l..
w. w. and will be taken up by men
in authority who will at once attempt
to prosecute the officers making the
arrest of any one charged with any
thing, providing red is arrested.
Many copies of the 1. w. w. bible or
handbook on show to wreck a train,
show to dynamite home, factory
or mine," show to prepare UNBEATABLE

know that there are men among the
outfit that would not GU do these
things. The leaders are responsible
and while not caught in the act they

that Frank Ruper, who had been cut

day, Attorney Merdink appeared for

warfare between the opposing Coun-
sci, Judge Coleman decided that the

DYNAMITE USED
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE
HOME OF TONY MARIANI
WEDNESDAY.

At about o'clock Wednesday
evening an. explosion startled the
people Of Lawrence Street in the
Chandler location. 1t was found
that an attempt had been made to
dynamite the home of Tony Mariani.
Indications were that someone
had thrown a stick Of dynamite from
the railroad tracks in the rear of the
house with the intention Of hitting
the glass door before the explosion.
The charge fell short and no more
damage was. done than the breaking
Of windows by the shock and the
blowing of hole in the ground.
The supposition is that the deed
was committed by the I. w. w.
strikers in an effort to have Mariani
abstain from work. No clue to the
perpetrators has been found although
the officers have made every effort
to get the guilty ones.
Had the thrown dynamite struck
the house before exploding, in al
probability several members of the
family would have been killed and the
home demolished. The shocking
deed has caused considerable ex
element in the city and should tn,
guilty party be caught there is n,
telling what might happen.
