SILVER CITY WISHES ID COOPERATE
 WITH CLIFTON
Enthusiastic Awakening in Grant County of the Importance of Seeur- ing TranscontinentaI Highway From Elephant Butte to
 Arizona Line

The enthusiastic awakening of Grant County, New Mexico, to the i'm portance of securing a transcontinen- tai highway via Silver City is of inter- est likewise to Greenlee county, in the matter of good roads, and particular ly as to the Southern National High way.
 The Legislature of New Mexico has provided as follows: ITO authorize the levy of a tax in Grant and Sierra counties to provide funds for the con- struction and maintainance of the highway between Elephant Butte and the Arizona line,' and further ';To authorize Socorro county to make stretch of road between Socorro and the Arizona line"
 Public spirited citizens of'ou sister state are getting solidly behind this move, and it may be that in the near future travellers will refer to sign post, instead of the road bed, to know when they have crossed from Arizona into New Mexico, or vice versa
 The number of automobiles said to have made the transcontinental jour- ney across New Mexrco the past year totals 15000. That this humber will increase from year to year goes with out saying. That those cities of Ari- zona and New Mexico located on the continental highway, and which boast of something unusual in their section of interest to travellers, will get a good share of their patronage, also goes without saying.
 That Grant, Sierra and Socorro counties in New Mexico are waking up to this fact is evident from the bills soon to be introduced in the legislature which met February 18th in Sante Fe.
 In it's issue of Feb. 9th the Silver City Enterprise says:
 .Cross-country travel by auto in creases year by year and will continue to increase. Those towns. and cities who have had a share of the business arising from this stream of tourists z are sl,eifufng enormous sums Jo n1ahe : their particular routes attractive. They find it profitable. Grant county is now far behind in the race for this business but natural advantages will overcome this slow start if energetic effosts are put forth from now on.
 The counties of Graham, Greenlee Gila and Maricopa in Arizona and Sierra and Don Ana in New Mexico are anxious to cooperate with Grant in establishing and promoting this particular route. Their ecorts will be largely futile unless they are assisted by an east and west road across Grant county. The cost of this is so trifiins compared to the benefit that would accrue that a progressive people, such as the residents of Grant county claim to be, cannot afford to let the oppor tunity for quick action pass.
 Dell M. Potter, a former resident o Silver City, now of Clifton is preslden' of the Southern National Highway Association and is one of the most pel sistent and effective boosters for thii particular section of road. He is thi: week in Birmingham, Ala, attendins meeting of the directors of tn' Bankhead National Highway Asso citation with the ;biset of gettins thet cooperation ever much of the soa n ern route.D

 Immediately upon receipt of the news all available deputy sheriffs were put in the field. The robbery is one of the boldest which has ever occurred in this part of Arizona. No one seems to have hte least idea of the identity of the roooer
 It was at Camp Verde one night about twenty years ago that some per. son or persons went to the gene al merchandise store of Wingfield & Rogers, killed them both and escaped, and to this day no one has any idea as to who the perpetrator of the double murder was or why it was done.

A FREQUENTLY
CALLED-F0R PRAYER

There had been a difference in
opinion in the preachers family in
which six-year.old Elizabeth thought
she got the worst of it. So at prayer
time she was unhappy and resentful
toward the world in general and her
own ministerial family in particular
But she knelt at her mothers knee
as usual and went through her usual
evening petitions. Finally she prayed
ooh, Lord, make all the bad people
good
Then as an afterthought she added
And, God, if you can, please make
all the good people nice. World Out

Referring to the injustice Of one
section of the State being taxed to
build roads in another section, we
have a concrete example of the same
principle in the paving proposition in
Lakeland. A man has paid his as
sessment for paving in front Of his
property, but he is still taxed to pay
ope.third of the cost Of paving every
little side street located at the re-
hottest outskirts of the city. A big
mistake was made by failing to adopt
the plan Of abutting property owners
paying the full cost Of paving their
street, on a ffty-fifty basis. This
would have prevented those who have
already been heavily taxed for paving
having an additional burden imposed
upon them to help provide paving for
every paving proposition that arises
hereafter. The mistake, however, has
been made, and it would sem too late
to rectify it now. 1t is similar in its

isDUS1RlAI PLANTS
 IN RUSSIA ARE IDLE
Production Has Declined 10 Point Where Complete Paralysis
 is Threatened.

Industrial productivity in soviet Russia under the bolshevist plan of naturalization of industry has de. clined to a point where complete parak ysis Is threatened. This informa tion is contained in reports made in Mos COW of economic conditions in Russia made before recent session of the congress of delegates from councils of national economy, trade unions and the Moscow soviet.
 In his report, A. Rykofr, chairman of the supreme council of national econ omy, stated that there were 10000 in- dustrtal establishments in Russia when the soviet was established. The peas ants industry is not subject to na- tiona.ization. leaving 4,0O0 factories which have been nationaized. Of these 2,OOO are said to be idle. The num- Der of workers is said to be fewer than 100000, indicating that the manu- featuring industry ill Russia Is in the throeS of a crisis.
 The Rykoif report shows that Rus sian industries are supplying less than one-fourtb of the needs of the nation. and that Russia today is living only ohe-haf as well as she did before the war. Furthermore, II is pointed out, RdSSia now is consuming supplies left over from the e-bolshevik period. These are said to be nearly eX- hausted.
 Russian workers, 1t Is asserted, are leaving the cities in search of better living conditions in labor communes and soviet farms. while a considerable number of skilled workers have re- mained iD the army, leaving Russian industries with very low percentage Of skilled mechaBics.
 At the same conference Trotzky ex- piained the Russian industrial crisis Ss being due to lack of technical equip 1ent. It was pointed out. however. shat many plants which require no technical equipment are idle or are working only few departments.
