Relieving that placing advertising signs on the Jerome-Prescott high
 way Is rank defacemeut of the
 beautiful scenery. the Yavapai Coun- fly Chamber of Commerce has asked
 Dr. R. J. Roper, member oi the roads committee, to interview the board of supervisors and request that official action be taken to prohibit this form of vandalism.
 The advertising which has been done to date has evidently been with out thought on the part of those who have placed signs on the rocks and trees, but this must be stopped be- fore the road is Uttered with insight lg placards

 This is to express my personal and official appreciation of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce, on Friday night last, was generous enough to provide patients of this hospital with a generous supply of ice cream. The refreshments formed a part of the pleasant evening in the Red Cross house, where such patients as are able to attend such gathering come together with some of the young people from Presco; These gatherings constitute one. of the few humanizing and homclike touches which are possible in hospital like this, where the boys, almost without exception, are hundreds of miles from home. and I have no hesitation in saying that the gift of the Chamber of Commerce was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all"

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
 has gone on record opposing the coun- ty division bill. Many counties in the state are opposed to this measure on the ground that 1t will add a great deal to the expense of conducting the county work if counties are made smaller. The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce suggests that publicity by all ot the organizations in the state IS the best way to counteract the measure

selves with this measure. Copies of
 the bill can be obtained by addressing the secretary of state, Phoenix, or #
 can be studied at the Chamber Of 1 Commerce office, where the bill is on file.
 | The proposed amendment to the
 constitution would take away from ! counties as a whole the right to vote
 on county division, leaving the ques- ton to voters registered within the llocality seeking county division only. i Under the present law every voter in
 county is entitled to cast ballot lt an election called to decide whether
 pr not such acounty shall be divided. When county division was voted on 1 by Gila voters six years ago the re- suit decisively showed that the coun- ty as whole was against disintegra- ition. Apparently realizing that the creation of new county, taking in the southern end and the richest DOT ton of Cfila, would be an inIpossibil- iity under the present law, Miami in 'terests secured the necessary number
 of signatures to a pehition to submit
 their newly devised county division
 measures to the voters of the state at
 the next election. Should the meas
 ure be passed, it IS conceded, the first
 new county 10 be created would be
 one embracing Miami and the extreme southern end of GSla county. This would take in q territory only one fourteenth as large as the present county of Gila. but with a taxable !, wealth four times as great as would <. be left i'll the old county. Opponents :. of the measure declare that the ere | ation of the new county would in- crease the tax burden of the territory left in Gila by 800 per cent and would seriously menace the existence and of good roads, schools and other privileges and institutions in Gila county.
 Although the strongest opposition and practically the only support of the measure exists in Gila county, other ocaEties in the state, including Mari T ,opa county. are said to be preparing [ 0 take up the fight against the mras- o ire. it
 The Arizona Taxpayers Magazine las the following to say regarding the ounty division bill: e

COUNTY DIVISION
 BILL IS MENACE
(From Sundays Daily) By GRACE NJ. SPARKS

Secretary Chamber of Commerce Relieving that the county division tbiIl. which will be presented to the voters in November as an initiative
 measure, ii passed would work a i hardship upon all counties in the state ' of Arizona. the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce has Ngone on .reCord. as opposing this measure.
 With the new short line road be- tween Jerome and Prescott in opera lion, fhete is little need 10 worry over county division in Yavapai county. When facts are considered the gen eraI feeling existing betwten the resi- idntS of this side oi thy mvu::;ain and i4hose of the Verde di>;r.l; 5 oi tlIe best and all conditions taken as a whole are entirely satisfactory. {. However. the couhty division bill, which will be shown upon the official ballot as. Nos sos and 509, is one of the most vicious measures. ever pre- stnted as an initiative measure to the
 voters of the state of Arizona. This
 bill. which has been set forth by the
 Van Dyke interests of Miami, pro-
 vides that any locality with valua-
 lion of $20.QO00O0 can, upon filing
 petition bearing the signature of B
 per cent of it's registered voters. call
 for an election upon the question of
 county division OEly B per cent of
 the voters in this particular section
 would have 10 sign a petition to get
 an election. and at such an election
 only voters i'll the same section would be permitted 10 vote upon whether or
 not they we're to be allowed to divide the county. The measure places no high nor low limit on size or number of votes any section must have to be- come a new county and it gives the county at large no voice whatever in the matter, either regarding petitions | for an election or in the election itself. ]
 This measure js being vigorously i supported by the Van Dyke interests of Miami. who are seeking 10 set pp l new county in the southern end of Gila. taking in only about 250 square miles, but which would include the richest part of the county, and leav-
 hg Gia with about IS times greater lrea and less than half as great | -aluatjon. This faction realizes that here would not be chance to annex | he richest section of the county, if ( he county as a whole were allowed r o vote on the matter, hence the pecu- { jar manner in which the county u. [ isiou bill is drawn Such uleasurr ( rould disrupt all spirit of co-opera- | ion and harmony in counties in the r tate of Arizona. Any time the jv cards of supervisors of any particu- Is ar county did not do exactly what f ome particular section desired. this s istrict could easily enough withdraw p rom the county. D
 The fight on this measure is strong VI st in Gila county, where Globe and Ii 1e balance of Cila county are marked 8 or the slaughter But the question is 1T

STRIKE ENTERS
WAITING STAGE
Builders Exchange to Refuse Set.
tlement With He'd Carriers' On.
ion-Time Only Solufion.

Developments directly Ringing
on the passing Of time will alone
bring a final solution Of the din
culties brought about by the strike
OF members OF the international
Hold Carriers, Building and Com
mon Laborers' union, according to
E. ]. Burns, secretary of the Quad
City Builders exchange. =
The strike was called Saturday
OF last week and has been effective
to a huge extent Big and lesser
jobs in various parts of the quad
cities have been practically tied
up. However, a number of con-
tractors outside of the association
have signed with the men and on
these jobs the work is running
smoothly, according to the union
leaders
On the other hand, a number OF
jobs handled by contractors affili-
ated with the association are near
ly at standstill.
One of the most noticeable in
Rock Island is the Fort Armstrong
theatre building on Third avenue
and Nineteenth street. When the
union men went out there was nc
one to carry hod to the brick lay
ers or material to the carpenters
and other tradesmen, with the re-
suit that the work was tied up.
Refuse Recognition.
Mr.. Burns said today that the
stand of the association is that
there will be no recognition of q
common laborers' union. The con-
tractors refuse to deal with such q
union, he said.
With this decision made and the
men holding firm. time alone will
solve the situation, is Mr.. Burns
view. The union announces thai
only $50 of the 1.500 members are
still out. the others working under
closed shop conditions
