Hasty and Unhasty Marriages

The Mohave County Miner gladdens the world with the tidings of the marriage of resident of Kingman lady of Mississippi whom he has seri- ously considered for many years Thus she may be said to have been time tested In this we be- 1ieve marriages should culminate rather on the spur of the moment.

A State Road Fund

proposal made for initiation constitutional amendment to remove the limitation resting the of the state bond itself, and for the initiation at the time of legislation put the amendment immediate operation, that bonds be issued the creation of state road fund.- Petitions for such legislation may be pleted July 1.
 The limitation power issue bonds is ridiculously There might well have been no power conferred at all Perhaps there should have been healthful restriction the bond issuing power for general purposes, for the of the constitution might well have been prehensive in the then the public mind in Arizona that we would rush into great variety of specialization schemes if there funds available for such extravagances. And do not think now that these restrictions should be wholly removed and it is not proposed to remove them but to modify them only to the extent that the state may have money a certain specific purpose concerning the beneficial character of which there two opn- money be invested good roads if it is wisely invested However much may be spent will return good dividends.
 Our present way of raising money for road build ing is awkward as well inadequate. It permits of coordnated program and it retards the efforts of those communities which wish to improve their high ways. leaving them isolated by communities which either nggard1y too apathetic to make such Improvements. Moreover, under present system certain provision cannot be made for matching fed eral aid the distribution of which has become manent government policy.
 Good highways asset to the whole state and they necessity to agricultural communities which must build they thrive Their taxable wealth must be levied upon while the rich powerful corporations lie generally counties where much less is used for highway building, and they thus escape burden which should be ly distributed the whole state in proportion fhe ability of county to it. equit- able distribution be accomplished only by a of providing a state bond issue levy all the property of the state.
 There Is early remedy for the present situa- ton except by the initiative. If it the legislature, if the legislature freed influences opposed to such an equitable plan and should inaugurate amendment the constitution it could be completed within years The peo- pie the election November could complete at a stroke, only the amendment the legislation make it operative.

Testimony was submitted to the corporation commission yesterday by railroad men who protested against the crossing being constructed by the state highway department near Eighth street in Tempe and by engineers of the department, who not only denied that the crossing was not safe, but made a showing of dollars saved to the government and the town of Tempe in accepting the route adopted by the highway department. No order was entered by Commissioners D. F. John son and A. F. Jones, before whom the hearing was held.
 A week ago the Arizona Eastern pro- tested that the crossing was not safe. C. M. Scott testified that the railroad formerly had a crossing near the pro- posed crossing of the highway depart ment and abandoned it in 1903 because it was dangerous He held that the en- gineer of train travelling from Tempe to Mesa could not see automobile travelling from Tempe to Mesa because of the trees and other Instructions. Others corrohorated the railroad mans testimony.
 The town council of Tempe stood behind the change of route adopted by the department after it had the ap- proval of the government.
 Thomas Maddock. state engineer, stated that the present route was safer and cheaper and that it was necessary to construct a bridge across the canal only half as long by making the change. He testified that $3OcO al- ready had been expended on the road which is built from the bridge and connects with the Tempe Mesa high way at Eighth street.
 Dudley WindeS represented the town of Tempe, and Bullard & Jacobs ap- peared for the railroad.
