BUILDING CAMPAIGN

of the first part of the program.
The second bond issue voted by Maricopa
County, Arizona for good roads exceeded the
first in amount of money involved and a second
issue was ordered sold for $4,500,0OO. This
money should be available at any time in order
that no intermissions will be necessary in the
final completion of the greatest network of
paved roads ever attempted by any one county
in the United States.
The first building done by the TWOHY

main roads between the different cities in the
county and the second portion of the program

It is prima facie evident what such a road
system means to Maricopa county
A Capitalization of school systems unequalled
anywhere in the entire world.
Rapid transportation of farm products to their
markets
A closer relation between the rancher and city
merchant.
A Adecrease in the cost Of transporting supplies
machinery, raw products or manufactured
goods.
More intensive and productive farming due to
the great number of agriculturists drawn from
other sections.
And finally the closer weaving of social and
religious life among communities within the

right 10 organize and the right to quit
work are conceded. the right TO abuse
those privileges is not conceded. Hence
the president believes regulation Is nee
essary In the public interest. Such
regulation can come only through ma
tIonal boards representing the public
interest. The president still thinks tho
railroad labor board can be made the
agency OF protection to all concerned.
The personnel of the board today may
not be what it should be. but that does
not moan that the idea is wrong or the
plan unsatisfactory.
In the coal industry a national board
or commission analogous to the United
States railroad labor board would be
recommended. The powers Of congress
10 regulate interstate commerce as pro-
vided by the federal constitution had
been gradually clarified by the supreme
court OF the United States So. too,
Mr.. Harding believes. labor unions or
railroad managemeuts can be made
amrnable TO the public interest through
regulation. The interstate commerce
commission regulates the income OF rail-
roads. and the labor board has been In
vested by congress with power TO regu-
latethe outgo OF railroads IN the big
gest Item. namely. wages. Penalties are
of course necessary 10 secure obedience
to the railroad labor boards decisions.
and some similar step would be ncces-
sary with respect 10 the awards OF a
national coal commission.
President Harding has had abundant
experience in his negotiations with all
sides In the coal and rail strikes Ia come
[ to the conclusion that II the public
through its government. permits tho

Mr. Harding has not made up his mind
