There are an INFINITE number Of ex-
cellent reasons why We should sup
port the Victory Liberty Loan.
The finest sentiments We possess
must prompt US 10 subscribe 10 this
loan even more freely than We did 10
the others. The government must get
money or IL would not ask us for II.
The man who was prompted 10 lend In
the past through fear that II he did
not the Germans might get over here
and make IL unpleasant for him Is
mighty yellow" II he will not sub
scribe. now that the danger II past.
Our response 10 previous loans indi-
Gated that We were thoroughly In ac-
cord with the principles for which We
were fighting. and by our response we
authorized the expenditure OF the
sums necessary properly 10 prosecute
the war These enormous expenses
must continue for some time The oh
legations involved must not be repu-
dated. They are our obligations as
individuals and We ms.t look upon
them as such. II is not only a matter
of necessity; IL is a matter OF per
sonal honor for MS To meet these OBJ
legations promptly and gladly
on the other hand. there Is in the
Victory loan I'm appeal TO our business
sense as well rs TO our patriotism.
There IL the appeal 10 self-interest. for
the loan is not TO be without profit TO
as We are given an opportunity to
invest Ia an absolutely safe security
and We viii receive u good rate OF in
terest. As business proposition no
man can afford not 10 subscribe To the
full limit OF his ability.
And there is another reason why We
should subscribe every cent that we
can rake and scrape together. II Is
this n the government cannot raise
the necessary funds 10y the sale Of
Liberty bonds II musl do IL 10y direct
taxation The government has the
power 10 tax us 10 meet these obliga-
tions. and II We are taxed We NOT only
will get no interest but We will never
get the principal back again.
II seems 10 me that both the wisdom
and necessity for fully and mmedi-
ately subscribing this Fifth Liberty
Loan must be obvious 10 anyone whose
mentality IN greater than that OF a
child of ten We are supposed 10 be
an intelligent people, capable Of gov
erning ourselves and others. We pride
ourselves upon our business acumen.
upon our energy and upon our patri-
/ otism. In the Victory Liberty Loan
we shall have an opportunity 10 prove
/ TO the world that We are better than
vain boosters, and that We are fully
/ deserving OF the estimate which we
have placed upon ourselves as a people.

HIGH COST CAUSES
 MUCH POVERTY HERE

The high cost of living has been tho cause of scores of homes in Phoenix to become destitute of money with which to buy clothing and other necessities of life, after food has been provided, with the result that there is much &C., tual want in the city and much char ity in actual need, according to an an- nouncement yesterday by the Associat- ed Charities.
 A partial list of articles needed are clothing for men, women and children; chairs, tables, bedding, sewing ma terial, thimbes, needles, scissors, but tons of all kinds, thread, mems large sized shoes, overcoats. and in fact all things that the average person wears or uses in an effort to live.
 It is explained that the needles and other sewing articles and material are needed by associated charities women in sewing for women with families, where the women are too i'll with tu berculosis and other diseases to do such work themselves.
 The Associated Charities, 300 East Adams street, phone 1885. states it will call for articles if donors are unable to take them to this address.

STATE ENGINEER
 PICKS OUT FLAWS
 IF HIGHWAY BILL

Six scpecific reasons for Arizona's S rejection of the Townsend bill, relating to government road construction, were advanced yesterday by State Highway Engineer Thomas Maddock in a for nal letter addressed to Harry Welch secretary of the chamber of commerce and of the federal highway council. Maddock added that amendments to the bill might alter the entire subject but that he did not see how anyone could endorse the bill as it stands.
 His first objection IS that proposed appropriation of $425, ,U00, 900 is ob- viously not over 15 per cent of the amount necessary for carrying out the program. The amount which is appro- priated for the first two years, he says, would not even suffice for the govern ment to take over the roads already constructed by states and counties which are on the routes contemplated If the right of way costs are included as the bill provides.
 For a second reason against the bill Maddock points out that no provision is made to secure for Arizona any specific benefits, although Arizona s proportionate tax contributions would be certain. There is no certainty, he says, of Arizona getting anything out of the first $425, 100000.
 For a third reason the engineer calls attention to the fact that the bill would not be operative here until accepted by the legislature, which could not be until the spring of 1921. He wonders how long after that it would be be- fore the work was started.
 Reason No. 1, Maddock says, is that the plan would further scatter the governments construction program among numerous bureaus instead of cenralizing it under one cabinet mem Der heading a department of public works, as is provided in the counter measure known as the Jones' -Reaves bill.
 The fifth objection to the Townsend bill, as seen by Maddock, is that the efficiency and economy attained by a national road construction and opera ton is under criticism now. As a re- suit of the way in which the govern ment has handled the war preparations the telegraph and telephone systems the postoffice department shipbuild- ing programs, and the railroads, he be- lieves it is the countrys tendency now to decrease governmental activities.
 The sixth objection covers one of the proposed amendments which Mad dock deems worthy of special men, ton. The amendment provides for the construction of one east and west, and one north and south road in every state before other projects in the bill are carried out. Maddock believes that the amendment will result in a California east and west road from San Francisco to some point in Nevada and that il would be certain to result in no i'm mediate connection between California and Arizona.
 Maddock expresses the hope that nt representative body in Arizona vii endorse the Townsend bill until aftel the most thorough reading and discus. sion.

 MESA, Nov. 2S.-After putting a halt to all of the work of laying the new sidewalks in Mesa for the past few days because of controversy over the grade to be followed, the pouring of cement will be resumed to- morrow morning, it was stated by city officials yesterday. Following a lengthy conference between the council members and property holders Friday evening, it has been decided to let the grade be determined by the lay of the land itself, as the walks are placed block by block and work is to be re- sumed on that basis for a grade. The stalking out of the proposed new system of sidewalks that will add about 15 miles of walks for Mesa, was commenced the fore part of last week. A grade in accordance with that es- tablished by the town and followed when the streets were paved, was to | be observed. In the southwest part of town where the work was started, following that grade, meant excava- tions of from 12 to IS inches and the | creation of canals rather than side walks, it was said would be the result. Property owners objected and injunc- tion proceedings were commenced re- straining the contractors from further work
 At the meeting of the citizens inter- ested and members of the council, the | proposition was gone over thoroughly and the council after inspecting the
 work so far done, met the property owners demand by authorizing the contractors to follow the natural grade of the land where they are lay- | ing the walks.
 | Work is to be resumed Monday morning and pushed rapidly. Practic- ally every street in Mesa is to have
 cement sidewalks on both sides the
 full length of the street. They will be
 five feet in width in the residential
 districts.

 Sternaman, veteran Orange half back, sent the Illinois off in the lead when he circled the left side of Ohio States line for 5G yards and touch down. Reichle failed to kick goal from that time the visiting team was largely on the defensive.
 No less supreme in defeat than in victory, Captain Chick Harley playing his final game for Ohio State, was the big cog in the play of the home team. Opening the second half with burst of speed, open play carried the ball well down into Illinois territory. A long pass, Harley to Macdonald, placed the ball on the Orange one-yard line. Harley then went around Illinois left end for the touchdown and kicked goal.
 On straight football the Ohionans excelled while the Illinois team had the big edge in the matter of open play Rarely did the Ohioans resort to passes.
