the state of Arizona of 10000. 900
acres of land 10 be disposed OF in
this state for the purpose of settle.
ment and in the interest of goo1
roads. was one OF the topics discuss
ed al the convention OF the United
States Good Roads association al
Hot Springs. 1t was pointed out that
only % per cent of Arizona is pri-
yately owned. that the word "reserva-
ton" as now used by the government
means all reservations. Indian and
otherwise, and that this so per cent
o: Arizona is exempt froni tax
Argument was presented by Ar
iona delegates and was based on q
resolution drafted by the Phoenix
chamber OF commerce. Il was made
known in figures that 100000 acres
are under irrigation and cultivation
in Arizona. whereas the total area
of~the state is 73.931.s4g acres 1;
was showa by official reports that
there are more than 91.OC0ee0 acres
OF unsurveyed land in Arizona. or an
area of 100000 acres greater than
the state of Indiana. IL was shown
where the Indian reservations OF
Arizona comprise 21,ssi,ss2 acres
and that, on July /, 1919 the total
area of vacant public lands in ArI-
iona was 2o,714,7s5 acres. 1t was
shown that I2.o76,7es acres were in
forest reserves or reservations; that
10.iss,23s acres turned over TO Ari-
IONA whey, /; became state have
never been turned over because OF
surveys that have not been made.
II was shown that Arizona as a 20
per cent privately owned state, can
not share in the benefit of good roads
development OF 100 per cent owned
states, that all road bills now pend
ing are inadequate to meet the
needs Of Arizona because these bills
are based on large private owner
ship; that even a $3.50 break with
the government, as proposed in one
OF the bills, is inadequate unless
Arizona can have the privilege OF
paying taxes on very much more
] than 20 per cent Of its total area.

dent T. VI. Schumacher OF the FL

trains were eliminated from the two
roads west OF FL Paso. and he gave
assurance that No. would be sent
through Douglas just as soon as the
passenger service reached a pre-war

that in case the eastbound Golden

through Douglas would be secured,
as the arrangements OF his road with
the Southern Pacific provide for an
equal division Of passenger trains to
