Gamblers and Bandits

The who charged with holding up a gambling den East Jefferson street last week and getting away with the biggest of 5000. should be given the benefit Of at least every reasonable doubt Robbery is, of course, crime wherever com- mitted and should be punished But the persons robbed there are entitled to the degree of protection should be afforded persons engaged in lawful occupations

 And then. it would turn out that the bandits, though without the motive of good citizenship. had been the means of substantial service to the city,

good service in retail stores is not altogether the fault of the sales people-that in a great many in- stances the sales person has not had proper training, and this, in turn. is blamable to the fact that the average merchant has not had facilities to of ter such training.
 Mir MaclSintosh will speak espe- cially on a course of instruction which the advertising association has prepared for retail sales people.
 As chairman of the national edu- cational committee of the Associated Advertising clubs, before his election as president of the organization, Mir.

 We are not of course assuming that cement will be used in the building the remaining part of the contract.

 They would want the program completed so that there will be the largest possible amount of money remaining, for the there may be the more other money there will be for highway building outside the program.

A stirrer Up of Trouble

In an advertisement the Phoenix Republican says its editorials recognized expressing the trend Of thought of Arizona. Wonder what Editor Watson of the Wickenburg Miner thinks of that?-Prescott Courier.
 Now why does the Courier try unnecessarily to stir up Brother Watson who has been quiescent for time? Whoever wrote that advertisement did not and did not proclaim that The Republican was representing the trend of thought of Brother Watson anybody else that it moulding trying to mould public opinion.
 The writer was, must have been aware, that there are many Arizonians. Brother Watson rather conspicuousiy who did not subscribe to all the doctrines to which The Republican adheres.
 What a miserable world this would be if we all in accord; if our desires and aspirations alike if all wanted the lean and rejected the fat enough for respectable majority to believe in the same things and then would believe in them all harder respectable minority controverted them.
 What the writer meant doubtless that The Republican indicated the trend of thought of jority of its readers.

Horticultural Arizona

People living in other parts Of the country have very inadequate of agricultural industry Arizona Even who live here apt to think outside the three great valleys of the Sat the Upper Gila and the Lower Colorado, agricultural is negligible. Those of us who have had access to the bulletins of the university who have the hibits of the counties at the fair know better But the popular impression is that the only industries worth recounting mining and stock growing.
 The outside world knows something of the citrus industry and later have become more widely known though not intimately would like, account of the cotton growing industry
 But have in mind more the progress that being made agriculture in those counties which are not traversed by broad and well known fertile valley; where hear almost exclusively ef their mines their great stock ranges and lumber indus tries.
 Tn all of them thousands and thousands of acres of the fertile land lacking only ade- quate water supply But everywhere there is going a development of water sometimes by the impound ing of the waters of small streams by pumping which has been made and practicable by improvements in pumping machinery
 And the results have everywhere been most satis factory and sometimes surprisingly We by the Williams News that two ranchmen in the lower part of Coconino county, in region where agricultural operations had attracted little or attention have raised crops which astonish the farmers the rich loam lands of the middle west One of grew 60 bushels of oats to the and the other 70 bushels.
 Much of the land which is believed to be not irrigable in time will brought under cultivation. just as there thousands of acres of fruitful land which twenty years ago were believed to be doom to subjection to the desert. We believe that SD much of our area will be sometime reclaimed that Arizona will take high rank among the agricultural sites.
 Much of it however must remain in the domain of mining stock raising But taking that area out of 11sooo square miles there will still be enough for great agricultural subdivision.

GALL FUR BIDS
 ON UNION DEPOT
 EXPECTED SOON
Plans For Station Ap- proved By State Commis- S i o n = Construction Work To Start In Near Future

Construction of a union station in Phoenix in the near future was as- sured yesterday when the state cor poration commission approved plans and specifications submitted by the Arizona Eastern and Santa Fe rail- roads. Following approval, it was announced. a call for bids for the depot will be issued as soon as pos- sible
 Yesterdays development in@ the union station situation was not un- expected, aSit followed an announce ment made by c. M. Scott. general manager of the Arizona Eastern, at a meeting of the city planning com mission early this month that the railroads hoped to begin work on the union station within three months. The new depot will mark another great forward step for Phoe- nix.
 The union station will be located on Harrison street, between Third and Fifth avenues. It will be 436 feet long, of reinforced concrete con- struction and of the mission type of architecture. Part of it will be two stories high. with mezzanine floor. It will include a number of metro- politan features. with large waiting room. rest room. smoking room, lunch room. checking. news and cigar stands, telegraph, express and bag gage rooms. Offices will occupy the mezzanine and second floors.
 The corporation commission went into a thorough examination yester- day before passing on the plans which will give to Phoenix a half million-dollar depot. The much needed improvement is the result of an investigation of the commission which began in October, 1919. for the purpose of looking into depot facili- ties of the city.
 At the time of the initial hearing 1t developed that while the Arizona Eastern and Santa Fe had planned to improve their passenger stations, no thought had been given to a union depot, which was suggested by Amos A. Betts of the corporation commits sion. At the conclusion of the hear ing the carriers agreed to the union station plan without the formality of the issuance of an order by the com. mission.
 MT. Betts said yesterday that the reason for the delay could be charged to many things, among oth- CTS. the time required for securing the property. The depot site is be- tween Third and Fifth avenue, the track extending from Third to Sev- enth avenues, on Harrison street. The property was owned by different in dividuals and it was necessary to bring condemnation suits before the land was finally acquired. All the suits, with the exception of one, were settled without going to trial. ac- cording to MT. Betts, who said that
 
 Another reason he gave for the delay was the fact that two railroads were involved, which necessitated numerous railroad officials being consulted before determining any matter of importance in connection with the construction of the union depot.
