ROAD BOND ELECTION

The people of Graham county
will have the opportunity on De-
cember 9th to decide whether or
not they want good roads in this
county. An election will be held
on that day for a bond issue of
$3.50, 900, an amount that will be
absolutely needed in carrying out
the plans of the county high
way commission for building new
roads, and repairing the present
roads, especially the highway be-
tween Greenlee county line to the
Gila county line.
There should be no doubt as to
the result of this election, it
should carry by a big majority
and the work of building and re-
pairing roads should start with
as little delay as possible.
A good highway through the
valley would be the best adver-
tisement this county could get at
this time, and the Lord knows it
has been in the piker class long
enough, as far as good roads are
concerned.
A good road to Bowie is needed
to bring traffic from Cochise
county to the valley. The road
to Bonita should be built and the
road to Klondyke be put in the
best condition for travellers.
Every citizen in the county
should be interested in good
roads and become a booster. We
need the roads and the way to
get them is to vote for the bonds
on December 9th.

Soldiers are waiting more or
less patiently to find what con-
gress is going to do to redeem re-
publican promises of compensa-
tory legislation. Republican lead
ers reply that they are waiting
to ascertain what the soldiers de-
sire. But these same leaders
didn't consult the soldiers last
spring before making their pledg-
es of immediate action.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Republican leaders in congress
have failed as signally to make
political capital for their party
and that was one of their pur-
poses as they have to enact
beneficial legislation for the coun-
try. A good legislative record
would have been at once useful
to the people and advantageous
to the republican party. A cata-
logue of their opportunities hap
pens also to be a list of their fail
ures.
When the special session of
congress was convened last May
the country expected and de-
manded a whole body of measures
that would assist reconstruction.
There was, for instance. the prob
lem of fixing the definite status
of the railroads, which were
neither the property of the gov
ernment nor yet the absolute
possession of their stockholders.
For want of any decisive action
of congress the roads still remain
in the same anomalous situation.
Special taxes which went to swell
the cost of living without at the
same time representing large
revenues to the government were
on the books and they are still
operative. Provision for the SOL
diers was generally desired and
certainly was justified. but even
on the first anniversary of the
armistice it was still lacking.
Most important of all. there was
need for the prompt restoration
of peace as prerequisite to the
resumption of domestic industry
and foreign commerce, but it
still waits on the Senate.
As units of the population, re-
publicans as we'll as democrats,
socialists and independents suf-
fer from this republican failure.

men and consumers, and especial
ly as taxpayers. they would have
welcomed and applauded a quick,
efficient, resultful solution of
these problems, which touch so
intimately the welfare of every
class. But after five months of
patient expectancy they are dis
appointed. 1t is inevitable that
the recollection of these republi-
can delinquencies will be carried
to the polls next year by thou
sands of voters.

SENIORS

The monotony of school life
was broken Monday morning, No
vember 9th, by Spanish 'fies-
ta," given by the fourth year
Spanish class. The guest of hon.
or was Mr.. Hibner. The Span
ish period was devoted to a short
Spanish program given by the
members of the class, Lillian
Graham, Hazel O'Bryan, Olga
Young and Bernice Sowell. A
scene from Spanish play was
staged, Spanish compositions read
and each member of the class
told a story. All conversation
was in Spanish.
At twelve the class went into
another room where lunch was
served. The table was prettily
arranged, place cards were Span
ish ''desperados, with an appro-
pirate proverb under each name.
Table conversation consisted
mainly of Spanish jokes and rid
dies with a little original talk
mixed in for the sake of variety.
Sandwiches, salad, hot choco-
late, olives, pickles, cake and
fruit were served. Miss Williams
was also a guest. The Spanish
teacher, Miss Haskin, acted as
chief hostess.
The class is celebrating the fact
that they have just completed
their Junior work and are start
ing upon their fourth year.

who have Investigated the financial
condition OF the former Ottoman EN-
pire say they are convinced that II is
fundamentally sound. Several con-
siderations are advanced TO support
this conclusion.
First, il is stated that the popular
point of view that Turkey was bank
rupt before the war was partly ere
ated artiticianly for the benefit of for
eign financial interests with the OBJ
ject of frightening other would-be in
vestors. and for political reasons OF
establishing spheres of influence.
The fact that Turkey was always
able TO secure loans is cited as evil
dence of her financial soundness,
though against this may be advanced
the observation that Sic was politi-
cal center coveted by many powers
who were played, the one against the
pther, and that financial considera-
tions were sometimes subordinated to
political purposes.
Turkey Did Not Default.
Ii is pointed out that Turkey did
not default on her indebtedness in re
cent years, but funds for the payment
of interest and amortization We're con

30 per cent. This was partly ascr,be,
to the system of farming out the take

For Americans who are consdern

the above facts show revenues alread

Before the war foreign investmen
amounted to the equivalent of $l,O1s
