of the highway commission to ascer- tain and determine, prior to the cleo tion. the kind of improvements to be constructed made it impossible for the voters of the county to vote as to the kind of Improvements. The Arizona statute requires the commission to aS- certain the kind of improvements be- fore the eletcion. and it was not sui ficient to authorize the execution Of county bonds for highway purposes to merely upon the question whether hard surface roads should be constructed upon such highways.
 (B) "The contract between the county of Maricopa and the bond pur- chasers did not constitute a sale of the bonds within the meaning of the Ari- zona statutes because the statutes re quire the bonds to be sold ond the proceeds immediately deposited in a special fund as to enable the county to let the contracts without delay for the improvement of the roads to be bonds. By the terms of the contract, the county did not sell the bonds but merely agreed that it would sell such bonds at future dates covering a period of more than two years.
 The contract was an agreement to sell as distinguished from a sale of the bonds and was not only unauthorized but was directly contrary to the Arl- zona statutes
 Attacks Election
 Co "The election at which the bonds were authorized was illegal for the reason that the board of supervisors wrongfully created special election precincts for the election and all vot- ing places were located in such special election precincts at places especially designated by the supervisors. These special election precincts and voting places differed from the regular pre- cincts and voting places established and used in connection with regular elections under the general election laws of the state. The creation and establishment of special election pre- cincts was void because it conflicted with the Arizona statutes.
 (d) Bonds are invalid for the addI- tional reason that the bonds were eS- ecuted for the purpose of improving city streets as we'll as county roads. The Arizona statute expressly pro- hibits the execution of county bonds for the purpose of paving streets with in the corporate limits of cities and towns. except that counties were authorized through cooperation to pave ono direct route through any city or town within the county. Map at tached to the report of the highway commission disclosed an intention on

the part of the said highway commls- sion to improve not only one direct route through the city of Phoenix. but various other highways extending into the city of Phoenix, and said mao disclosed an intention to improve at least four distinct highways extend ing through the town of Glendale. Bonds were accordingly executed by county for the purpose of improving various streets within the corporate limits of Phoenix and Glendale.
 Gel The bonds were void for the ad- ditionaI reason that the election was ordered by the board of supervisors and the highway commission was ap- pointed by the board without any petition first having been filed with the board and signed by fifteen pei cent of the property taxpayers in the county As appears from the Arizona statutes, the board of supervisors was without power to appoint a highway commission or to order an election to determine the question of selling bonds for highway construction, unless there was filed with them first a proper petition signed by 15 per cent of the voters"
 Injury to Petitioner"
 The petition goes on to state that notwithstanding the invalidity of the bonds and their sale. the county of Maricopa unless enjoined by this court
 
 bonds and will receive the proceeds and will expend the proceeds from the bonds in the construction of highways in the county. And unless restrained. the petition goes on, the county will levy taxes upon all of the real and personal property in the county includ- ing the property of the petitioner (J. o. Dunbar) to raise funds where with to pay the principle and interest of the indebtedness represented by the bonds.
 The petition then states that the sale of the remainder of the bonds and the levy and collection of taxes by the county to pay the principal and inter est of the bonds already executed will work an irreparable injury to your pc titioner and will largely diminish the value of the property of the petitioner situated in Maricopa county. For such threatened injury, Mir. Dunbar states, that he is without remedy al law and is entitled to relief in a court of chancery where matters of this character are properly cognizable.
 In the prayer of the petition, Mir. Dunbar asks that the purchasers of the bonds. enumerating each. be required to make full, true and direct answer to the bill and that a temporary in- junction be issued restraining the Central Trust company of Illinois from delivering any of the bonds now in their possession, and an order enjoin- ing any of the purchasers from mak- ing any payments for the bonds and enjoining tho county of MaFicopa from taking any steps by suit to compel the delivery of the bonds or the payment for them The county of Maricopa is also enjoincd from paying out any money from the proceeds of bonds al- ready sold and delivered to the county

board of supervisors in advertising the bond election should state the amount and kind of improvements to be made This, the plaintiff says in his suit they did not do, but asked the voters to vote on the question whether the roads should be hard surface or not
 The supervisors are declared also to have oVerstepped their authority in appointing the highway commission in 1918. This commission. it says. did nothing more than make a map of the roads to be hard surfaced and did not form an estimate of the cost of the inn provements to be made or the kind or materials to be used. The supervisors, MT Dunbar says, also called an cleo ton without first having properly signed petition calling for the bond election. All these violations of the law. Mr Dunbar says, makes the bonds void and null.
 Says Cost Not Estimated
 In the suit MT. Dunbar makes each and every member of the syndicate who sought bonds, a party to the suit. The petition in detail and the allega- tions made by Mir. Dunbar are as fol- lows:
 (A) That contrary to the law, the supervisors did not in any way prior to the holding of the election for the ls- suing of the bonds, ascertain and de- tc.rrlline the kind of improvements which should be made upon the high ways mentioned in their report as the highways to be improved. The result of this was that the highway commits sion could not and did not intelligently estimate the cost of constructing said hfghways as the cost would materially depend upon the kind of improvements to be constructed thereon.

 WHO |S BEHIND SUIT

F. C. Struckmeyer, who filed the suit of George Tisdale against the state of Arizona and Twohy Bros, to restrain the latter company from removing any sand or gravel from tract of land on which MT. Tisdale holds a lease from the state, has been ordered by Judge Stanford to appear in court on July 3, at 9:30 a. m., and show by what au
 thority he commences and prosecutes the case. MT. Struckmeyer in the or
 der also is requested to show cause why the case should not be dismissed. Twohy Bros. filed the motion asking that the attorney for the planting show cause and attached to it, letter

 The original suit. which was taken as another spoke in the wheel to slow up the hard roads program of the county. was filed last week and al once Mir Tisdale filed a petition in which he stated the suit had been brought without his authority or his knowledge. The suit, Mir. Tisdale, stated in his petition, was begun in his name by E. M Atwood. who, il appears. is a sub lessee of the tract and has been using it as a goat pasture.

Wilson "shows" Missouri Senator

DRES1DENT WILSON has proved his
charge OF falsehood against Senator
Spencer. Transcript OF the stenographic
record Of the Presidents address at the
eighth plenary session of the peace confer
ence furnishes conclusive evidence that the
Missouri Senator seized upon brief excerpt
from that address, twisted it's meaning to his
own wishes, robbed 1t OF its context, and
then placed tho political lie before tho
American people in an effort to prejudice
them against the league Of nations.
Nowhere in that address did the Presi-
dent promise that he would send Americas
armed forces to the support of Rumania.
Serbia or any other nation, should their
territory be invaded. The text proves quite
the contrary. 1t proves that the President,
arguing in behalf of settlement of world
affairs SO just and equitable that the re-
sultant peace would be enduring, warned
these little nations OF their error in be-
lieving that, without such just settlement,
the United States would give them military
aid. Yet it is this that the Senator from
Missouri has maliciously held up as a
promise OF armed assistance to the little
states OF the Balkan cockpit, and interpreted
as threat to precipitate the United States
into never-ceasing participation in European
ENVIRONMENTS. Even had the Senator's
premise been true. he conveniently failed to
take into consideration the league OF ma
tons, which would have to agree before
armed forces could be sent to any nations
aid under the covenant, or the American
Congress, which, under the Constitution,
would have to consent before this country
could embark upon such an enterprise.
This, Of course, Senator Spencer knew but
TO have explained 1t 10 his audience would
have robbed his falschood of it's effective
ness.
Publication of the text of the Presidents
address goes further than its disclosure of
| Senator Spcnccr's willful disregard of the
truth. 1t reveals in the white glare OF pub
hcity the extent to which the Presidents
enemies are going in their frenZied cam
