SAYS AUTO FREIGHT
LINE IS AN AID To
LOWER THE RATES

Contending that the order OF David
Il. Johnson, chairman, and Amos A.
Belts, member Of the corporation
commission, denying the application
of Frank Turner and William J.
Kline to operate a freight line over
"Ne public highway between Tucsen
siu Nosales is step backward,
Loren Vaughn of the commission yes
terday filed a dissenting opinion in
which he. declared he could not see
why a reduction should not be per-
mitted.
The majority members OF the COM
mission held that public convenience
and necessity did not warrant the
granting of the certificate to the ap-
plicants for a freight line in view of
the fact that the railroad rendered
service three times a week.
Mr.. Vaughn on the other hand
claims that the auto freight line not
only offers a cheaper rate but bet
ter service. 1t proposes, he said. to
gather its freight and deliver it with
out the added expense of drayage to
and from the depots.
"Our state highway department,
aided by federal appropriations, is
building roads not for pleasure cars
alone but for freight as we'll as plea
sure. Some of the best highways in
the country are in Arizona, and, with
such highways so firmly built at the
expense of every citizen, cannot
conceive Of a denial of the public to
the privilege Of sharing in whatever
benefits might accrue from money
thus invested: suppose another line
of railroad were intending to enter
the district in question would the
public, through it's corporation COM
mission, deny such railroad the right
to enter upon the ground that there
was not business sufficient to Justify
its entry: perhaps the volume of
freight handled, or to be handled. in

COMMEND STAND ON
LAW ENFORCEMENT

Commencing the daily newspapers
of Phoenix and the newspaper at
Mesa for their stand on the enforce
ment Of the prohibitory law, the
members Of the Mesa Methodist
Episcopal church adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas. the chief strength of a
republic such as the United States
of America lies in the respect for
law in the heart of each individual
citizen; and
Whereas, there has been an assault
upon this respect for law by certain
parts of the liquor interests in this
country in evading and trying to
bring into disrepute the 18th Amend
ment of our national constitution,
and the Volstead act which provides
for the carrying out of said amend
ment; and
Whereas, a great many papers of
the country have, knowingly or un-
knowingly, aided the liquor interests
by printing jokes, innuendos and
propaganda reports all with the ef-
feet of helping those classes in this
country who would gladly wreck the
nation provided their own selfish
ends be served: therefore be it
Resolved, that the members of the
church and congregation of the NJ. r.
church, at Mesa, Arizona. hereby
commend the attitude Of the local
paper, the Mesa Tribune and of the
two Phoenix papers, The ARIZONA
Republican and The Arizona Gazette,
for their firm stand in upholding the
statutes of the country, in printing
the truth about the enforcement of
the acts against the sale of liquor,
and in calling upon all citizens to up
hold all laws of this state and nation,
and, further be it
Resolved, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to each of the papers
named herein

sultant in bending movements.
LONDON. February 23.-The de-
signers made every effort to comply
with the stringent requirements laid
down, but despite the skill employed
in the distribution of material the
stipulated performance was not &C
tually attained.

to the air ministry, after the disap-
pearance of military urgency, says
the report, no marked reduction of
requirements were made. although 1t
now appeared that they were not
consistent with safety if The ship
