WILL THE WOMEN BECOME SHEEP?

The politicians are worried. and justly so. by the
growing power Of the League OF Women Voters and
every effort is 10 be made BY the very regular in
both parties to destroy its influence
Apreas arc now going forward for women to con-
fino their political activities to the affairs OF the
two regular parties and the old plea that this Is
government by parties IS being used to frishten or
csiole.
As matter OF fact. what is really feared is that
woman will be Independent in her attitude and
change from party to party her Judgment and
her conscience dictates.
The man who boasts that MY party convention
writes my platform" really confesses that he carries
no weight in political affairs The managers count

rnsnds or wishes regarded seriously. His vote
IS safe no matter who IS nominated what course
pursued.
The independent voter ia the one who receives
every consideration and who has the final word.
II IS to him that party managers kowtow and yield.
IT his good will which is sought for. It is his vote
which is able to secure reforms and pledges
The League of Women Voters has some pro-
aounced views on many public questions which are
rot PARTISAN at all but which deal with home en-
vronment and the effect of government the

The appeal for women to remain in their own
parties cannot the fact that it is really an

SAHED I53.OOO LIVES.

When one human life is snstched from the Jaws
Of imminent death. the who saves that life
given a medal.
When twenty hundred men are caught
in disaster. the world waits breathlessly upon
their rescue.
That is because human life is the one irreplaceablo
value, the precious thing in the universe
Yet you read nothing Of the saving in the year
1921 Of 1850 human lives-almOst twice the num-
Der of women and children living in this city.
Such a saving effected, however if you
lieve the report of the Association of Life
ance Presidents who have most accurate means OF
knowing whereof they speak

idents say:
The survey demonstrates that the people of
the United States and Canada never before cx-
perienced such good health in 1921-therc
being an aPprcciabc reduction from all previous
records of the number of deaths among insured
lives The insurance death rate was lowered
from 9:5S per thousand i'm 1920 TO S2i per
thousand in 192l--a saving of one and one
third lives per thousand. Applying these Stats
tics to the general population of the two coun-
tries probable saving of $4,000 lives in 1921
over 1920 is indicated"
1t would be interesting to know the reason for
this falling rate, which in itself indicates
longer tenure of life for all.
Quite probably a large share Of the effect was
produced by the work of health education done
during the war and the continuation of healthful
habits by the youth of the country
the army men were trained to care for their
health not matter OF sentiment but because
every life mad no man was permitted
TO endanger his country by neglecting himself
The entire people learned some things regarding
hygiene which they did know before
The effect Of lad teeth and their neglect was
emphasized The habit of daily exercise was caught
by thousands and not given up. Men and women
learned TO know dangers to themselves

blessings, must be by sacrifices of the present

Federal and Forest Aid

The distinction between federal aid and forest aid, as explained yesterday by Forest Supervisor H. B. Wales for the benefit of the public who is the ultimate consumer" of the roads and highways, is this:
 Federal aid funds are apportioned to match county or state funds for the construction of public roads which form a part of the main state high way system, for the purpose of en- couraging good roads throughout the country. These funds are administer ed by the bureau of public roads, which sees to it that the roads con structed and built under federal re- quirements as to grade, quality of work, and the like.
 Of forest moneys for roads, there are two kinds, Mir. Wales said, for est aid funds and forest development funds. The first is to aid in the con- struction of state and county roads which are a part of state and county systems, traversing the national for est and thus benefiting the forest as well as the public. Of this type of road, the Fossil Creek highway is a good example. Like that part of the Hassayampa road lying in the forest, 1t will be constructed by forest aid moneys. This year, approximately S5O0,000 of forest aid funds was ap- portioned to Arizona.

STATUS IF ASH FORK ROAD |S
 EXPLAINED BY THE COMMISSION

reason the north section of the state highway is not now under construc- ton is simply that the bureau of pub
 lie roads has not yet approved it as federal aid project. The reasons for this, as explained yesterday by Mrs. Christine F. Johnson, secretary of the highway commission, are:
 The survey for this road was com pleted about six months ago and ap- p1ication for its approval as a fed eral aid project was nfade to Wash ington Meanwhile the forest service decided to construct that section of the road lying within the boundaries of the Prescott National forest, as a forest aid project. The commis- sion's application was withdrawn and a new one made for approval of the section outside the forest boundaries as federal aid project. By the time this reached Washington, the forest service decided that as forest aid pro jects, the Fossil Creek road and that part of the Hassayampa road within the forest boundaries would be con- structed rather than the section of the Ash Fork road within the forest boundaries. Consequently, the high way commission withdrew its second application, and forwarded another, identical with the first, asking for approval of the whole Prescott-Ash Fork road as a federal aid project. This application is the one now at Washington, approval of which is being awaited. There is no doubt at ali that it will be approved, and ap- proval is expected to be received and work on the road started within the month.
