Magnitude of Mining
 Industry Shown By
 Millions of Workers

The magnitude of the mining indus try may be grasped when one realizes that more than 6,O0O,OOO men are en- gagged in the mines of the world. Of this number, 3,800,OOO are employed in the coal mines and 2,2OO,OOO in the metal mines. In addition, millions more are engaged in allied industries dependent directly upon the mines for coal and metal, according to the En- gineering and Mining Journal If it had not been for the lure of the metal mines, the west would not be the highly developed section of the United States that it is today. Our whole prosperity hinged on mining in the early days and now prosperity in the mining industry is the barometer of general prosperity in many Western states.
 The west should stand as a unit for sane labor, legislative and taxation policies, encouraging to the develop ment of this great industry.

United States is Panic Proof

Confidence that the currency and banking system ofthe United States has made the country panic proof under wise financial leadership is ex- pressed by the National Bank of Com merce in New York in an article bear ing the title, "The Normal Business Cycle," in the June numberof it's mag azine, Commerce Monthly. The fed eral reserve system, the bank says, has been devised to make panics i'm possible in the future, and there is abundant reason to expect that we shall not again see in this country such demoralization and chaos in the money market as the years 1893 or 1907 witnessed.
 'No currency and banking system can avoid the recurrence of crises in the sense of liquidation periods, or periods of readjustment, but we have strong grounds for confidence that, under wise financial leadership, our currency and banking system has made us panic-proof," the bank states.

BIG MEETING OF GENTLEMEN AND
 SHEEPMEN AT FLAGSTAFF JULY !

vention of the cattle growers asso- citation held in Tucson in February this matter was referred to a special committee as a subject of investiga- tion and the result of the committees investigation will be reported at the coming convention.
 A third issue which will occupy the attention of members of both as sociations is in regard to stock graz ing on national forest preserves.
 Annually an advisory board is ap- pointed by the two associations and the advisory boards representing each will hold a joint session thorouhgly surveying the matter of national for est grazing.
 Expansion of pasture building, divi- sion fences and the decreasing of min imum permits probably will be the phases of this issue to be taken under advisement by. the boards.
 General discussion at the session will probably include particularly the financial condition of the country as it affects loans on sheep and cattle and the present market conditions.
 Opening of the session immediately following the close of celebration in Flagstaff extending over five days, known as Frontier Arizona Days" a record attendance is expected at the meeting.
 |. Invitations are being sent county cattle organizations through the nor thern part of the state, urging their memgers to be at the session in Flag staff.
 Committees in charge of the pro- gram are also arranging a comprehen- sive social entertainment during the two days when the representatives of the associations will dispose of the joint issues of importance both to the Arizona cattleman and sheepman.

A SONG OF ARIZONA

o, sunny Arizona, with your valleys and your hills, With your deserts and your noun. tainS tipped with snow, Where the sun comes up each morn.
 ing
 From behind the snow-lined peaks And sets across the desert
 With a purple afterglow. With your swiftly rushing waters, And your canyons broad and deer With the mysteries of the ages hid
 den there, With your mines of untold riches, And your forests on the steep And your plains that stretch before
 us ever fair. With your wondrous Painted Desert And your forest petrified. With your miles of blooming yucca, And your giant cactus trees. With your days of endless sunshine,
 and your nights of balmy breeze. No state but Arizona has wonders
 such as these. Though nature with her grandeur has
 blessed the fair southwest The Arizona people are the thing
 out here that's best. Their hearts are big and true, And they're just alright clear thru. And a state with such a people Has much to hope and do. Then health to Arizona
 And her people brave and strong; May their lives with peace and plen-
 ty ever glow,
 May their days be glad and free, As they surely ought to be. And the blessings of high Heaven on them flow.

NEW HIGHWAYS BUILT
 FROM INCREASED TAX

PHOENIX, June 12-The increase in agricultural and mineral wealth, as taxed, will pay for state highway system in five years, according tc James c. Dobbins, civil engineer anc chairman of the Maricopa County committee for the Arizona Good Roads Association which this week will start circulating petitions for a state highway commission bill and an amendment to the constitution to in crease the bonded debt of the state.
 At present there is no money with which to build state roads, due to the low bonded debt limitation. The a. mendment calls for the selling of bonds for roads and other necessary developments, but not to excess of 4 per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the state. At present only 29 per cent of the state is taxed. 80 per cent is reservations, deserts and other untaxed land, much of which would come within MT. Dob- bins estimate on increase.
 He continues: "There is no part of the West that has ever developed without transportation. Today motor transportation and travel is as import ant in the development of a country as railroad transportation was 10 years ago. The state roads would increase the number of people in Arizona in a short time 25 per cent, as they would make the inaccessible parts accessible by motor and truck. transportation. Good state roads are essential for the transcontinental traffic from the east to the west and from the north to the south. Such system would make the high plateau and mountain coun- try of Arizona a playground easily reached for the people in the summer and the low valleys a playground for the winter.
 q could talk on indefinitely on why We should have good state roads, but I know of no argument that I could advance as to why we should not have good roads. I am for the initiative measure as put before the people by the good roads advocates of Arizona. Every section of th6 state has been calling for a highway commission bill and now this measure is ready for the consideration of the voters. We should be most interested in getting on both the initiative petitions many more names than required by law to place the measure before the voters next fall, for every person who signs peti- tion will naturally become an advocate of the bills and work for them at the polls. The highway bill and the con- stitutional amendment are both pop
