ASKS PERMISSION TO
 PURCHASE POWE R

Approval of q contract between tho South Side Gas and Electric company and the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany will be asked Of the corporation commission at a hearing scheduled for 10 o'clock this morning.
 The contract has to do with the pur- chase by the South Side company Of power from the Pacific Gas and Elec- tric company which. it is understood. will exceed the cost of power the South Side company has secured from the Consolidated Canal company, mal1- ing it essential, it is said, for the rate to the consumer being increased. Resi- dents of Tempe and Mesa and the Water Users association are all inter ested from different angles. The Southwest Cotton company, one of the largest consumers, is also vitally in terested and will be represented at the hearing.
 Yesterday the commission considered the application of the Pacific Gas and Electric company to sell to the Cen tral Arizona Lght and Power company and the application of the latter to ex- change with the former for its property 500000 shares of preferred stock and 700 GOO shares of common stock. No order was entered, but it was inti- mated that the commission will grant both applications which are in the ma ture of a reorganZation of the Pacific Gas and Electro company.

START SOUTH CENTER . HIGHWAY IN 2 WEEKS

One can see the rock crushing plant of Twohy Bros, near Tempe. growing, springing up like a mushroom. but with more solidity than that of the mushroom. Concrete bases and pedes- tals for the machinery have been in stalled as if the contracting firm in tended to build all the roads that have been or will be laid out in Arizona. There is a permanency about the con struction that would hardly be ex- pected for even so large a contract as that of the 2S0-mile program.
 John Twohy and James F. Horan of the company have just returned from a trip to the coast, where they have been hurrying up shipments of ma teriaI and equipment. Eleven cars of lumber have arrived and 10 carloads of cement are on the way.
 It is expected that Contractor Me Elrath, under a sub-contract from Twohy Bros, within the coming week will begin work on the stretch of road about six miles. on South Center street It is desired by the highway commission that this stretch be fin ished in time for the movement Of cot ton from the south side. There is al- ways the possibility that the Tempe bridge will become impossible, and in that case the farmers of the south side. with South Center street torn up would find thems slves effectually cut off

WASHINGTON after all, it is worth while for congress to distri- bute free garden and flower seeds.
 Members of congress have been be- rated and criticized on every hand for spending the public money to send out these seeds, but if each member dis patched his allotment with the finesse shown by Congressman John IT. Small of Washington, N. C.. the harvest of smiles would he ample return for the few hundred thousand dollars they cost annually.
 There's nothing so small about Small. He uses flower seeds to carry cheer and beauty to the womenfolk of his North Carolina district. What he wants is not a vote from the men. but a smile from the women.
 And that the seeds themselves, and the posies they may produce, may be given their proper poetic setting in the minds of North Carolina womenfolk Small sends with each package q let ter of greeting and good wishes.
 During the early spring this year for instance. the women of his district re- ceived the following letter. demon strating beyond cavil. that at last one congressman has his mind above the mundane things of government;
 My Dear Madam: As | glance through my office window today, I see no haIDlnBeFS or spring Lltne or HOW CTS. The skies are heavily overcast. The chill air of winter fingers. Fog and dampness enveloD the bare trees and obscure the buildings. Even the imposing dome of the Capitol unwill- ingly emerges from the humid gloom.
 But the witchery of hope enables me to beckon the gentle zephyrs and balmy sunshine of May. when spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laugh ing soil and hangs her infant blOS- soms on the trees It is of you and that glad hour that I am thinking.
 If you love flowers-and every wo- man does-perhaps a tiny packet of seeds sent forward by mail may. un- der loving care. tempt a smile more beautiful than it's bloom.
 Very sincerely,
 JOHN II. SMALL"

There is something much of socialism, in New Zealand legislation but there the theory is that government is for the benefit great mass of the people and the benefit of part of the people only
 We have learned how New Zealand kept down profiteerng during and since the had for a long time before that been interfering business especially big business and it's restrictions on busi- became tighter found that for the public good, there is need of tightening.
