By the Good Roads Committee

On Dec. 31, the people of Maricopa county will vote bonds for the com pletion of the highway project through out the entire county. If these bonds were not voted it would mean one of several things. The work will have to go ahead then with the funds so far realized on the first bond issue. It is known fact that only about 25 per cent of the first bond issue are free. Seventy-five per cent of these bonds are still tied up through an injunction in Chicago. But, even if this were not the case, the situation would be very | far from cheerful.
 With only the moneys of the nrst bond issue at it's disposal, Maricopa county could construct just half ot the entire project. It would then be faced with the necessity of making the
 best use possible of these limited funds. Nobody can predict which
 roads would then be constructed, be-
 cause the highway commission would | have to give orders to the contractors
 for the construction of some of the
 more important roads. This would mean that some trunk lines would be constructed, but 1t is even impossible to pfedict which trunk lines. In oth-
 CT words it means that the whole prof.
 ect will be up in the air unless addi-
 tionaI bonds are voted. There is nc
 farmer or land owner in the county
 who would be able to expect that his

story illustrative of this he turned to stories of ministers and then to the subject of his address. The gist of this follows:
 "The reason that I am 400 miles from home today, enjoying the cli- mate of your city of Phoenix, is be- cause 300 years ago little group Of
 English men and women, pilgrims, Tn fact and in spirit, stepped ashore from
 a little vessel at Plymouth Rock. These

road will be one of the favored few that will be constructed.
 It will be entirely from the taxpay- CTS point of view, a matter of hit or miss. This condition also will throw into a regrettable state of chaos the entire matter of further construction, should it be decided to vote bonds for the completion of the project, say next year
 As a matter of course. if no further bonds are voted, the county will be forced to construct just one particular block of roads, or a few roads here and there, leaving the project abso- lutely unconnected.
 From the engineering point of view, the most centrally situated road stretches constitute the cheapest part of the construction. since they repre- sent the shortest hauls. Suppose that the bonds do not carry, and that an other election has to be held next year. The election then would be for funds which would have to pay for the long est hauls. From it's very nature, such construction would be tremendously expensive and it is very doubtful if a contractor could then be found to un- dertake the work of paving a discon- lnected system of say about 40 miles i It is clean that the only way in which | it is possible to finish the job" as
 cheaply as warranted by circumstances l Is to vote these bonds on Dec. 31.

there were 102 on board. The weather was rough and for weeks the passengers were kept under closed matches. For tunately their privations were not fa- tai, except to one man, and as there was a birth aboard the vessel it came to America with the same number as had left Europe.
 "The Mayflower stopped first at Cape Cod, land having been sighted on No vember ., 1920. The Pilgrims went ashore at Provincetown, but after a short stay, eighteen of them took a small boat and found Plymouth Rock where the whole number disembarlked on Dec. 20.
 "The value of the lesson taught by the Pilgrims is that it demonstrated that small bodies of men and women without money, without influence, with out tools or help of any kind, could cut loose from the old world and come to these shores and make a living.

dian minister to the Unite,i States
will soon be appointed. Formal an.
nouncement of the purpose of Great
Britain to place her Canadian rela-
tons with the United States COM
pletely in the hands Of Canada was
made yesterday in a statement read
in the Canadian parliament at OF.
tawa, and the British parliament at
, London, and made public here thru
the British embassy.
Unusual powers are to be conferred
upon the Canadian minister. In the
absence of the British ambassador
he will take full charge Of all British
diplomatic relations with the United
States.
The text of the Official British
statement says that "as a result OF
recent discussions an arrangement
has been concluded between the
British and Canadian governments
to provide more complete represen-
tation Of Canadian interests at
Washington" and that ION the ad-
vice of the Canadian ministers n
minister plenipotentiary who win
have charge of Canadian affairs and
will at oil times be the ordinary
channel Of communication with the
United States government in matters
of purely Canadian to the Canadian
government" will be appointed.
In absence OF the ambassador the
Canadian minister will talse charge
of the whole embassy and of the
representation Of imperial lis we'll as
Canadian interests, 1t is explained.
This new arrangement will not
denote any departure either on tho
part Of the British government from
the principles OF the diplomatic
unity OF the British EMPIRE" thu
statement adds.
"The constantly increasing impor.
lance of Canadian interests in tho
United States has made IL apparent
that Canada should be represented
there in some distinctive manner, for
this would doubtless tend to expe-
dite negotiations, and naturally first
hand acquaintance with Canadian
conditions would promote good un-

Because Of the impending reorgani-
zation of the Canadian cabinet the
name of the Canadian rainister to
Washington will not be announced
until some time during the approach
ing summer or fall.
Whether the United States shall be
represented at Ottawa by minister
under the new order will be decided
soon.
