Employing Soldiers.

the public funds in nearly every
state, under the guise of appro-
priations to build good roads.
Even in our state bills have been
introduced asking for e few mil
lions for this purpose. We are
not opposed to the movement for
good roads, but the whole ques
tion should be approached in an
intelligent and conservative bus
mess way, instead of making a
wholesale raid on the state treas
ury, on the slim pretense of CIV
ing employment to soldiers. Do
these sponsors of the proposed
raids think our returning SOL
diers are coming home to seek
jobs in the grading camps for
highway construction? The per
cent, in fact, will be very small.
The result will be that with big
appropriations for road building
in all the states, and the con-
tracts let, the howl will soon go
up of a scarcity of labor to carry
on construction, and Congress will
be petitioned toilet down the bars
for the Importation of cheap la
Dor, and with this class once
here, it is here to stay. This is
not an idle dream. Only a few
days ago railroads in the middle
west were needing rs, 900 men or
more on their grades and track
work, but were not able to find
men. They have asked to be
permitted to import labor, frank
ly giving as reason that return
ing soldiers would not accept
such employment. If the SOL
dier will not work on railroad
grading, will any great number
be rushing in to get job build
ing highways? The republican
party put the exclusion of cheap
pauper labor on the statute book
as protection to American la
Dor, and we are for the law all
the time. We are surprised to
find Gov. Campbell has been in
weighted into endorsing the big
appropriations at this time. Ar
izona needs better roads, but it
is neither wise nor prudent to be
making million dollar appropria-
tions at this time when no one
knows how much labor will be
available to carry on the work.
Let us wait until our soldiers get
home, and then if we find the
state has an army of unemploy-
ed, it will be time then to talk
of public Improvements to furn-
ish employment. Making appro-
priations of public money is the
easiest part Of the whole scheme.
If the millions are voted out of
the treasury at this time, and it
later developes we have no army
of unemployed, the money will
be squandered just the same dur
ing the next two years, and the
most of it will be sent out of the
state to purchase materials at
war prices to build roads when
peace conditions are normal. 1t
is appalling to consider the graft
that will be perpetrated on the
tax payers during the next two
years under the alleged patriotic
guise of providing employment
for returning soldiers. Our state
law makers should go slow on
making appropriations, and not
be carried away with the appeals
of the profteers who hope to get
their pockets lined out of the
contracts awarded, or get some
soft job as overseer of construc-
ton.
