WILLIAMS GREATEST
 NEED

The greatest need of Will Hams at the present time is direct road over the rim to the south. Such a road would bring Prescott and all the min ing, towns of the Verde Valley, closer to Williams by 40 miles or more. This would react to the betterment. of the people of the Verde. while greatly bene- fitting Williams. Such a road would be worth thousands of dollars, annually to the stock men ranging south of Williams, and would open a close market for the fruits and other pro- ducts of the Verde farmers. In the hot summers the people of the sweltering mining camps could easily motor up over the rim to cool off, and the people of Williams would find it con- venient to warm up in the towns below, whenever the winter climate here might be- come too frigid to suit them. Not only is this road desir- able because of the financial benefit to the people at both ends of the road, but it would offer one of the most scenic drives to be found anywhere in the, state and the possibilities for summer camping, which it offers are not surpassed any where.
 The cost of this road would be remarkably ; low, consider ing the rapid descent to be made. FsS
 The News recommends. that the county supervisors look in- to this road and consider it's value to Williams and western Coconino. They will find that the people of Williams would rather see this road put through than any other. It should be possible to get both federal and state aid for it because of the benefit which it would be to ag- ricultural districts and to the state in general. The citizens of Williams also,. would readily raise a number of thousands of dollars by voluntary subscrip- tion to help build it, if assured of other funds sufficient to com plete the project.

RENTAL PROPERTY

Although rents have advanced in Fessemer, it is believed that they have not increased to such an extent as to accuse any property owner ofprofiteer- ing, according to investigations made among rental agents in the city, and the lack of complaints of people renting property, The greatest advance in rents are shown in the leases being made of the better class of residence property in the city, which according to one dealer has advanced about 33 1 8 per cent, others making a lower esti- mate. The prices being paid for rents at present have advanced in proportion to the increased valuation in local pro perty, the opinion of large property owners of the better grade of residences being, that the investments had not brought them an adequate return for the amount invested in the past
 Many new residences are being erect ed having five or six rooms, the rents of which are s35 or $40 according to the location and quality of the house In many instances rents are being paid for one year in advance by citizens SC great is the demand for suitable resi- dence property. Rents in negro tene- ment houses have advanc1d in propor- ton to the better class of residences as according to the sta atement of prac- tically all real estate dealers houses that formerly brought S6 are being rented now for $9 with practically nc dissatisfaction being voiced by those paying the rents

For the Good of
 the Community

HE educational bill was introduced in both houses of the legislature att Montgomery last Friday. It carries ap- propriation of about S1, ,OOO,0 in excess of present expenditures for the schools of Alabama.
 No Alabamian objects to liberal ap- propriations for the public schools or for the schools of higher education All real ize their importance and none more than those of us whose opportunities for ob- taining an education was limited to the few weeks intervening between crop cu tivating and harvesting seasons, usually from four to six weeks in summer and a similar period in the winter.
 Elementary schools are necessity higher education an advantage no one should be denied.
 Good salaries are essential to the suc- cess of the schools Character and abil- ity of teachers are usually in proportion to their pay.
 No one will contend that teachers in the public schools of Alabama are paid adequate salaries They can't live de- gently on $40 or $50 a motnh, even if they received that much twelve months in the
 
 But badly as good schools are needed in Alabama they ought not to be used as trading propositions
 The school bill contains 200 typewrit- ten pages, over 90,000 words, or the equivalent of 75 columns in The Age Herald. In addition to carrying addi- tional appropriations exceeding S1 ,000,- 900 it builds up an extensive administra- tive machinery which will necessitate the employment of scores of persons at req sonably good salaries. Thousands of dol lars of the money appropriated will be di- verted to the maintenance of this expen- sive machinery. In addition to the state department of education, now in existence, the new bill creates boards of education for the state counties and municipalities and creates number of new bureaus or sub-depart- ments.
 A vocational education department with director is created, also depart ment of statistics, new boards and super visors are provided for. Until the bill is printed copies are not available for re- viewing so it will be several days before it's full contents can be known to any eX- cept the few who had something to do
 
 with it's preparation.
 The bill was dumped into the legisla- ture at the psychological moment. The teachers of the state have been clamoring for more money. The special committee raised by the legislature recommended large appropriations and the teachers fell in line.
 The revenue bill is travelling rocky road in the legislatures> It was badly mu- tilated in the house and will be further slashed in the senate. Governor Kilby is more interested in getting the revenue bill than in anything else before the legisla- ture or that is likely to come before it. He wants the bill passed in it's original form, or as near to it as possible.
 The thousands of teachers in the state are formidable body that is capable of exercising powerful influence in the leg islature.
 Revenue bill hung up. Many admins tration supporters wavering. Educational bill released for introduction Teachers get busy.
 A perfectly simple matter The teachers want more money. The revenue bill gives it to them qCn in Sfroti hn
