labor and materials. At the same time, and right now, I believe that further contracts should be given for lower price. l know that costs now are going down, and l believe that in a year they will be almost at bed rock.
 With this consideration in mind I made careful investigations. and then 1 asked Judge Twohy to come out in competitive bids as the only just method of alloting contracts under the new issue. He conferred with his associates and advised with his coun sel. and then made a statement to me which was published in full in The Republican. Many of our citizens however. said that the statement was only newspaper talk, and they have demanded a reiteration.
 The Clinchins Argument
 This afternoon I was given a state ment signed by Judge John Twohy resident of Twohy Brothers, and I now take pleasure in reading this state ment to you"
 Mir. Heard here read the Twohy declaration which is carried in full on page l, and then continued:
 We shall carry this statement on the front page of The Republican to- morrow morning, and I will also file a certified copy of it with the highway commission, and I hope that every sue cess attends the election on Friday 2
 Eugene Hackett. chairman of the highway commission. was then called upon to outline the position of the commission with regard to letting new

contracts under the forthcoming bond issue f fit carries. His statement fol- lows:
 We have already declared that we would let the contracts on the new bond issue by open bids. We have never had a thought of anything else. The statement of Twohy Brothers to Mir. Heard is in line with our own con victions and clearly defines the ques- tion. We will throw the bars down, and there will be @ field in the is suance of these contracts open to all the world.
 "This is our only interest-to pro tect the rights of the taxpayers, and I want to assure you that the new contracts will be let as carefully as they would be if the matter was our own personal business
 The next speaker was Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the Uni- versity of Arizona, who gave the req sons of a school teacher and a trav- eler for believing in and wanting good roads. He also pleaded for an opti- mistic feeling concerning the future and realization that men fail only when their will fails.
 Cites Economic Law
 His most striking point, however, was that it is a recognized economic law that the time to perform public works is in periods of depression. when the use of public money tends to set tie and clarify conditions. Tn this statement he was supported by sev- eral
 The next speaker was Dell M. Pot

ter, president of the Southern High way association, who was introduced as the original highway booster" !" lie advocated the bond issue not only as necessity, but as patriotic duty.
 When Mir. Potter had ended his re- marks, question from one of the diners brought the statement from Judge Sloan regarding the validity in law of the declaration of Twohy Brothers concerning their willingness to waive all right to the contracts to De awarded under the new issue.
 Then came statement from the highway commission between T. c. DopDins, chairman of the good roads committee, and A. F. Jones, secretary of the county highway commission. MT. Dobbins' letter follows:
 The general public is in doubt as 10 what action will be taken by your commission in regard to new con- tract In case the additional four mil Ion and a half bonds are voted. I would like to have a definite state ment as to the policy of the Mari copa highway commission in event the bond issue carries. Would appre- nience"
 10 tnIs letter MT. Jones made the

positive assurance that bids under the new bond issue were to be open ana competitive, he would vote against the bonds. The gist of his remarks fol- lows:
 'I am here. I presume, because Of general knowledge of my constant ad- vocacy of good roads This valley is naturally a country for the small land holder-the 'littlelander'-and some day the land here is to be held almost ex clusively by the intensive farmer with roads for these, and also because Of climatic and soil conditions here.
 A Business Proposition
 Now, we are confronted with a con- dition and not a theory. We are asked to express our ideas concerning a move ment already begun. It Is a business and not a sentimental proposition for us. But We have with us objectors to the plan-the class, first, that objects to everything on general principles, and then the class that is not opposed to good roads-not opposed to the bonds but that believes that the time is not an opportune one. Many of these are hard-pressed, but when they come to learn that our present difficulties can not last and consider the good that AANoe ~OAAiC NC us AAOin llAlc OOIlu CiCC- tion, if successful, they must believe this the best of all times for the adop- ton of such proposal as these bonds.
 But there is one objection which, if not cleared up, will make me vote against the bonds on Friday. I want 1t understood, first, that I am commit ted to no interest and be committed to none. I want to see good roads, but I want to see them built economically. Therefore, if this money is not spent in new contracts granted after bids have been thrown open to the world, I will vote against them, and I will advise my friends to vote against them. It is up to Twohy Brothers to declare them selves, and if they do make a declara- tion that they will enter new bids, then will vote for the bonds myself and advise my clients and friends to do the same in the hope that they carry not by plurality but by an over whelming one"
 Chairman Reynolds immediately said that Judge Sloan had touched upon a vital question, and then introduced Dwight B. Heard, who spoke as fol- lows:
 Mir. Heard Tells the Facts
 Ladies and gentlemen. I will pre- sent facts to you, and nothing else. l WAS DOTn dnU rdlSeu III d INeW E0SldIlu country where we were brought up on baked beans, codfish balls and facts.
 You remember that several months ago we had a controversy in Maricopa county concerning the kind of roads we were going to build. During this period I was in Washington, and one day I received a telegram that the firm of Twohy Brothers, contractors. was in the field bidding for contracts on our road system immediately went to several reliable sources and inquired concerning Twohy Brothers, their reputation and their standing in the business world. I was informed at every step that this firm was one of the largest and most reliable in the entire west.
 Then I went into the question of costs I believed that the price of $29.000 8 mile was high-almost too high-but I also had to take into con- sideration the prevailing high cost of

Am 1 right, boys?"
 You're right, Pat!"
 You bet your life I'm right. A lit tle while ago we read in the papers that we could make paper out of peat, and some thought immediately that every farmer in the valley should make two or three of his acres a peat bed. Others hollered for Delta cotton. Let us not make second mistake. We want diversified farming-we want the alfalfa back, and the hogs back, and. better than all. the cows back, and we'll stick to the good old Pima cotton and we'll make it bring the highest price in the world. Am I right boys?"
 You're right Pat."
 You bet your life I'm right Lately there have been many bad rumors among us. They were lies. The propa- gandists were busy, and some of the rest of us forgot either to talk facts or keep our mouths shut. Chase down the rumors and you find a narrow minded person with wide mouth. and usually when he opens it. he puts his foot in it. Am l right, boys2"

But I also know that we need the cement people and the black road people and every one else who may be of assist ance to us. Let us not in our anger cut off our nose to spite our face.

 MT. Parker then asked the diners to join with him in the slogan at the be- ginning of this account, which was done with a will. As he sat down he was applauded long and loudly.
