Phoenix grow and prosper, this city
should bend it's energies to cordial
CO. -opA~ation in helping the farmers
of the Salt River valley make the
most of their possibilities. The thing
to advertise is the wide reach of op-
portunities still remaining here. Tell
the world what can be done in this
valley. Get that information to the
right kind of people. There was a
notable failure in the Garden of
Eden, and there might be another
failure in this valley If you lured
here people who have scant or no
appreciation of the task in hand;
but, with the valley worked with
capable agriculturists, you will find
your city going forward tremendous
~. Experience shows that for every
person on the farms, there will be
one in the city. The city that is
built on intensive farming, under
such conditions as you have here,
will be built for permanence.'
In his talk next Wednesday, Mr..
Cuddy will tell some of the vivid and
informative experiences of his ad-
vertising concern in advertising San
Diego, Calf. Many of the sound
devices adopted in that campaign
Mr.. Cuddy is sure can be adapted to
the Phoenix situation.

PAVED ROAD To
COAST PET PLAN
JUNIOR c. Of G.
More Than 5000 Sigma
lures To Initiative Peti-
tions For Bond Election
Already Been Secured

More than 5000 signatures already
have been secured by the Junior
chamber of commerce to initiative
petitions calling an election on a
s2.600.000 bond issue for the build
ing OF a paved highway from the
Hassayampa river to the Colorado
river at Ehrenberg in the campaign
OF the junior chamber to make a
paved highway from Phoenix to the
coast a reality.
Senator II. B. Wilkinson is spon-
sor for the initiative measure to be
submitted to the electors, and the
matter has been taken up in their
usual whole hearted manner by the
junior chamber of commerce, who
know no such word as failure and
therefore are certain that the re-
quired number of signatures to the
petitions soon will be secured.
Simultaneous with the campaign
of the Phoenix junior chamber of
commerce for a paved highway from
the terminus of the present high
way at the Hassayampa river to
Ehrenberg is the effort of California
chambers for a highway from Blythe
to Mecca, thus completing the last
links of the Phoenix to the coast
road.
Agitation for the completion of
this great through highway fills the
waking hours of the members of the
junior chamber of commerce. Other
projects for the betterment of the
city and valley may take a portion
Of their time and attention, but their
one, big, pet dream which they are
determined shall come true, is this
Phoenix -to-the- coast highway.
Following is the act for which the
initiative petitions for an election are
being circulated:
The Petition
"An Act. to amend the constitution
of the state of Arizona by adding
section 5A Immediately following

While the progressive American
farmer is using a double-entry
system for keeping his production
records, the Spanish green olive
grower keeps his books on split
olive braneh-a method which prob
ably was old before paper was in
vented. For generations notched
stick has been his only record in
these groves near Seville, the only
place where soil and climate com
bine to produce green olives OF
suitable size. texture and ffavorlng
for marketing.
The stick is simple to use. For
example. ten bushels of olives are
purchased. The buyer cuts an N
on an olive branch and hands it to
the grower. Later, two additional
bushels are bought, and the buyer
notches two straight lines below the
"X." At night when the stick is
covered with notches, it is split
lengthwise, grower and buyer each
retaining half. When disputes
arise. settlement is reached by fit
ting the pieces together. A notch
appearing on one-half and not on
the other is clearly false entry
For men who can neither read
nor write it is an efficient method.

HALF AN ISSUE

There is much for capital and labor to
dwell upon in the remarks of Judge Bols-
ter of Boston, who was arbiter in the set
Element of the wage scale for printers of
that city.
Among other things, he said to the
printer: 81 deny your right as against the
the public to set up half an issue for set
Element. deny the right of the publish
ers to Join issue with you on your one-sid
ed demand as you have formulated it.
will not stultify myself by saying what is
. fair share for you to take out of the
community wealth, as wages, when there
il NO stipulation as to what you will put
back by your labor"
In the eye of the Judge, a wage demand
that ignores the contribution OF produce
ton out of which wages must be paid has
NO standing in economics or justice. II
employers make up the difference between
what labor earns and what it gets by rails
ing prices for their product, then the pub
lie is mulctt d every time and the market
il most seriously affected.
It is business ethics that the seller shall
give fair equivalent for the price he asks
and obtains. The question may properly
be put: how can the buyer receive fair
equivalent if production does not render q
fair equivalent Production must get its
moneys worth for what it pays in wages
This was put before labor by the arbiter
''As friend of labor, can offer it ne
more sincere advice than that it make its
bargains mutual by setting against stip-
ulated wage stipulated production. The
public is not yet ready to surrender the
principle that has held good since the hu-
man race began to arter-value for value,
compact for compact
Labor must be interested in the market.
Its attitude toward production instantly
affects the market Labor knows as well
rs capital what is meant by a buyers
strike and labor and capital are both hurt
thereby. The public retires as a buyer,
hence there can be no selling. Stagnation
ensues and the artisan who has subscrib-
mand from higher up in union organlZa-
ton of which he is member is one of the
first hurt His family also suffers.
There are labor leaders of wide vision
who keenly appreciate the cooperation
that must prevail between capital and
labor if there is to be employment fol
labor and employment for capital. They
pleaded eloquentiy during the war fol
production. The war is over. but there is
a great demand for production in proper
ton to the wages demanded. The A hour
week is not move toward greater pro-
duction and there are hundreds of thou
sands of union labor men who admit it.
The sound sense of the Boston judge
may be studied with great profit if no
more than as a sparkling sermon on
eQuity.-Duluth News Tribune.
