City Planning for Phoenix

The city is to be commended for the forward step it has taken the direction of city planning and for the agreement it has made with Edward F Bennett of Chicago. of the country's leading the Worlds Fair entered upon it's systematic beau tectural genius who had already become recognized as man of great capability, was associated with Daniel Burnham, who charge of the work under the Chicago Plan Commission of which Charles S. Waeker has been chairman for several years
 All this time the Chicago plan has steadily functioned and the results are shown in the splen- did park system unsurpassed in America the re- marlable system of boulevards and efficient and direct transportation system. The plan is not com plete and no city plan be, long as the city grows It is only when comes to a standstiu that the plan may be said to be longer of service
 The more rapidly city grows the richer the promise of its future, the greater need of a svs- tematic plan to direct it's growth. The Republican when it put forth the civic idea eight wears ago. regarded that the beginning of scheme of city planning. There was an opportunity for a be- ginning such few cities have ever had
 Though the civic center popular thing as was demonstrated lat one election there were so many obstacles to be overcome and so many un fortunate circumstances arose that the movement was not brought to successful conclusion
 The Republican is naturally gratified at the ap proval expressed by Mr. Bennett while here of the plan it then proposed and earnestly advocated for the establishment of civic center
 It is glad day Phoenix that it has decided that it's growth size shall henceforth be a,ons lines of beauty.

growers in this valley are newcomers and new to the growth of Egyptian cotton. and they can often be seen making the most serious mistakes. In this matter of cotton alone I am sure that the agent must be swamped with work. and a staff of assistants cover ing the valley would not merely pay. believe they would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
 It is generally the man whom one sees flooding his rank cotton once again who scoffs most loudly at the idea of "a man living in town" giving him advice. The more experienced men probably do not seek advice either; but 1 know that they do seek information. They want to know what the other capable men are doing in such and such a case. And the county agent is the man at the switchboard Indeed, the development of the county agent system makes possible q new and higher form of agriculture, with the pooling of experiment, experience and intelligence.
 No niggardliness should be allowed to cripple this valuable public service.
 Your respectfully,

More bunk yet assuming for democratic party the chief credit American participation in the war when all democrats and republicans know that but the almost support of the war measures by the republicans congress- they would have failed-opposed by the democratic lead CTS The democrats had been attuned to peace at any price by the conduct of the president for three years. and unable to follow his agile turning in the direction of war.
 StilI bunk n the plank relating to the high cost of living which is laid failure promptly ratify the treaty. And yet more in the woman suf- frage plank when it is remembered that five years ago the president himself advised against the amend ment and that though later he in a half hearted the democratic whom he mised declined to back his mild approval of national suffrage.
 Months The Republican counseIled silence in both conventions regarding prohibition thing already effectualy disposed of as the aboli- toin of slavery. There appeared need to revive it-ess than need Any revival of it even at the instance of the "drys" could only effect of creating issue which could but leave an opening the enemies of prohibition
 The republican platform disposed of the matter very properly by pledgng the party to an enforce ment of all the laws they written. But the democratic party placed in a quite different and unforeseen position from that which contemplat- ed when silence seemed to be the propert treatment of the question.
 The party divided the question. Ele- ments arose demanding deals ranging from the repeal of the prohibition amendment to the repeal of the Volstead act it's modification. In the course of the discussion it was recalled that the president himself had dsapproved the act because it was too drastic. Then, too, could not then have been foreseen that the president would so con trol the convention so absolutely lay out the party program; that the convention would so thor oughly and infinitely endorse every act of the presi- dent during his nearly eight years in office
 It was brought about more than inferenti- ally by reason of the discussion which was precpi- tated that the party in the the president was committed to opposition to the Volstead ac Silence therefore in the democratic platform could mean only moisture" a commitment against prohi- bition The overwhelming defeat of Mr. Bryan's plank which advocated prohibition it exists today IS as plainly a disapproval as if the Cochran plank had appeared in red letters. A democratic majority that might result the election next November would justly feel that it had a mandate from the convention the democratic party to repeal the Nostead which president had tried to destroy by a veto.

 That's what the history books say. but they omit to mention what was undoubtedly the truth, something like this:
 The fact that the engine made the barge go at all was great disappoint- ment to a large concourse of amateur inventors and scientists who lined the river bank and offered chuckle- headed opinions for hours before the eXperi ment was begun. They were unani- nous in but one thing: That the bally contraption could not possibly work.
