A BRILLIANT SUGGESTION

farmer of the southwest, writing in the Farm and Tractor section of the Los Angeles Times makes of the most brilliant suggestions made in many months as follows:
 I've are spending $235OOO year for free seed for farmers, from which there is benefit whatever The seed seems to be worthless from other. Maybe weevs other kind of insects spoil the seeds making them unfit for l think Uncle Sam would be greatly benefited if he would attend to his large farm lands, that farmers call government ands These lands badly infested with field mice. kangaroo ras squirrels, rabbits also gophels too to mention The problem how to get rid of these pests Most of farmers in the same boat, most ranches also infested with all kinds of vermn. peting with the products of Uncle Sam
 1T think the Farm Bureau centeIs all help get this matter put before Congress Let instead of spending $235,OO0 free seed, add little money to it and make poison grain to give free to every farmer every year. We could limit the amount to fifty pounds for every 100 of land with if it located close to government land With this could kill all the vermn running on lands so badly infested

BRETHREN IN TRAVAIL"

Upholding the right of Republicans newspapers to about Former Governor Hunt than the Dem ocrats worrying the Arizona Republican allows that "The Republican newspapers aware, the Demo- cratic newspapers that the Democratic party fronted by Old Man Trouble who cannot be sdestepped by ignoring him"
 Naturally" continues the editor of The Republi- in facetious ''The Republican papers worried and want to do all they to amelorate the condition of their brethren in travail.'
 The Democrats of Arizona will no doubt appreciate such kindly sentiments the part of The Republican. Bu speaking of travail the Democratic newspapers, with the kindly sentiments shown by their Repub
 can brethren would like to know how they help the c. O. P. straighten out it's troubles in Arizona.
 It brings tears of sympathy to the eyes of Democrats nights worrying about Mr. Hunt when right in their ranks there is plenty of for worry Instead of scratching their heads trying figure out what Mr. Hunt will do. the Republican press ought to look around and "Old Man Trouble' much closer to them. And the old man. far the G. O. F. is concerned to be three-headed monster Look at him the first time and he to be Tom Campbell gaze again and the face is that of Tom Maddock, and third look makes one tain he is looking at other than Dwight B.

 While The Review is not worrying about "Old Man Troube appreciates the generous offers of assistance extended by that independent Republcan) daily news paper, The Republican.
 And, by way of showing it's appreciation of the kind shown the Democratic party by The Republican The Review expresses regret that it could not have offered similar assistance to The Republican when the Od Man Trouble of Phoenix handed The Republican an upper cut in the last capitol city election-Bisbee Review

 It may be taken for granted that the two preceding of similar amounts hence the direct tax for roads for three years has been not less than The federal aid money expended in Arizona in 192O21 amounted to $267I,67O average of $4OO7 5O5 for three years During the same period bonds have been voted to the amount of the of in Maricopa county and with the exception of the $1 of Yavapai county and larger amount in Marcopa this has been spent In addition to these the state engineer gets from motor vehicle taxes gasoline evies and other about $OOOOO each year. mak ing $1, 800 900 for the Swear period.

WHY ARIZONA SHOULD HAVE GOOD ROADS

The state highway department has been criticized. not for the sums it has expended roads, but because many taxpayers believe they have not had value recev- ed for their money Probably state direction of work would be efficient if it conducted by county private concern and the state engineer is held at fault for demanding that he spend money and have charge of road construction which his predecessors have permitted the county to perform, or have performed jointly with the counties.
 Insofar as it is possible the money spent in this state during the last three will be set forth here If the taxes paid there should be available for road work for the year ending with June the following:

A GOOD SUGGESTION

Several suggestions have been made to this paper the past few days regarding the location of the new Union High School the predomnating one, we be- eve being that of securing two full blocks for the lOca ton of the proposed building and grounds On this point Ia local heavy taxpayer and interested in the new union high school expresses views we'll prac cay everyone interested in the school believe when he says:
 "By all means need two blocks for the Union as to the school to have grounds fully capable of taking of the children in their sports such baseball foot ball. basketball and general athletic meeting place for condemnation proceedings would bring the results quick h close the street and furnish site that would be hard to beat for school It ought to be done and it must be done" -Ss -
 Several sites, we understand, under considers ton by the school board and the above suggestion believe should be well looked into before final action is taken.
