WOMEN TELL WHY THE ROAD BONDS SHOULD BE VOTED
Women Guests At Luncheon At Twohy Bros. Camp Explain Why They Are Supporting Issue

Enthusiastic support is given to the bond issue by the women of Maricopa county who are determined that this county shall have a completed system of good roads.
 Some 70 women from Phoenix att tended the luncheon given by Twohy Brothers at their construction camp on the Yuma road yesterday Mrs. Joseph stark. presidnet of the Wom- ans club, acted as chairman and seV- cral citizens made short talks
 Del NJ Potter. well known authority on good roads, was one of the first on the program. He discussed the sub iect of good roads as a patriotic duty and explained that this country today is spending large sums on the upkeep of bad roads, from which no possible good can be derived.
 Roy G. Owen explained the advan- tages of the good roads in reducing the cost of transportation, while Judge Twohy talked from the woman's view point concerning social benefits.
 The following reasons why the wom- CD of Maricopa county are boosting the bond issue, were set forth by the vis- itors:
 Mrs. Joseph Stark said: We need these good roads now while we are alive. for they are the things we need most"
 Mrs. Broadway and Mrs. Guy said: We need these roads now, to get us out of all this dust. mud and dirt We will never be able to attract tho settlers and tourists without good roads, and tourists and settlers arc main factors in building up our coun- ty and state"

INTERESTING TALES TOLD AT PIONEER
 SOCIETY MEETING

Col. James H. McClintock returned yesterday from Tucson, where he at tended the meeting of the Arizona Pio- neers' Historical society and contrib uted many interesting bits of history to the program, which held the interest of pioneers from all over the state.
 Among the pioneers present, said Colonel McCEntock. were Mateo Pa checo, who was born in Tucson in 1862, and Billy Fourr. a Cochise cat tleman, who came to Arizina the same year with the California column.
 In reviewing the interesting tales told at the meeting Colonel McClintock 1 referred to Albert Steinfeld's talk of the old days and of his arrival in 1872, when there were only three American women in Tucson.
 MT. Steinfeld spoke of the arrival of the military telegraph and of the first bath tub Introduced into town by Colonel Lacey. He also told how can dies furnished the only illumination and those were made with native tall low at home. Water was brought around in a wagon by Mark Touhy and sold for cents a bucket from door lc door. The score was marked in penci on the door frame of each house and when payment was made, the water carrier merely drew a pencil through the check marks, thus receipting the bill. Steinfeld remembered, as an cpl sode that thrilled the town, when the first coal oil was brought in and used said Colonel McClintock.
 Herbert Drachman, president of tho | Pioneers society, told how his father sold the first lamp used in Tucson.
 MT. Drachman described the lamI as one of ordinary flat glass variety
 which brought $15 from Mrs. LeopoldC

LAME DUCKS MAKE STAMPEDE FUR TAX
 COMMISSION JOBS

That the state tax commission is feeling the Republican landslide more keenly than any other office in the state house has been evident for the past few days, when the commission attempted to appoint it's office staff. Being one of the few offices headed by Democrats, there has been a gen. eral scramble among the lame ducks to receive an appointment to one of the two good positions in the office, that of secretary to the commission and that of chief accountant.
 After an informal meeting a few weeks ago the commissioners let it be understood that there would be no change in the staff. Later came the announcement that C. E. Ashley, the accountant, would be attached to the state land department and the appli- cants began to pour in by the scores It also is known that Secretary Wood is not to be retained without opposi- tion. Although MT. Wood has giver satisfaction to the commission anc wishes to remain in his position, there is quite an army of Democrats ready to succeed him.
 It was given out that the appoint ments would be made yesterday morn ing, when c. R. Howe, the presen commissioner. E. A. Hughes and Franl Luke, commissioners elect, held con ference. The conference extended int the afternoon and late yesterday MT i Hughes, worn and weary, declared tha the matter would go over until today. l There were number of well knowl politicians about the state house yes terday speaking a good word for | friend" It is understood that anon otbarc those who have anOlipd fOT n0Si tions with the commissio nare R.
