WEDNESDAY, MAY 80, 1928.
MEMORIAL DAY.
{By Stafford King, Adjutant, Minnesota Legion.)

Memorial Day.
A holiday, but more than that,
A HOLY day.
1t is day Of reflection,
A day of devotion and Of thanksgiving;
Sacred to the memories Of the dead;
Consecrated to the service Of the living,
1t is day not Of weeping nor Of mourning,
But of sweet remembrance;
"A day not of regret nor, of longing,
But Of loving devotion;
A day Of sincere tribute and Of solemn purpose.
Born of the sacrifices of our comrades,
1t has come to us through the sacred years,
A challenge to faithfulness,
A duty of patriotism,
A reward of virtue.
From The Grand Army of the Republic
1t has come to The American Legion,
A soldiers gift to soldier,
His creed of loyalty;
And the Legion will carry on.
The seeds of devotion to ideals
And of brotherly love,
The seeds of sacrificial service,
Were well sown on the battlefelds of France,
Just as were they sown
In the blood of those who fell
Along the whispering reaches OF Bull Run
Or on the fertile fields of Appomattox.
The blood of all these hero dead,
Blood of the North and of the South,
OF the East and Of the West,
Blood of an hundred conflicts
In dozen lands, has fallen
And in falling has interminged
The life blood of America.
1t has hallowed the soil it fell upon
And the harvest shall be unity of thought ant
of purpose;
1t shall be righteousness;
1t shall be democracy;
1t shall be loyalty;
1t shall be freedom of opportunity
And liberty without license.
It shall be honor to God and Country,
Love for brother,
Justice for fellow man;
And above all these,
1t shall be friendship,
Greater recompense than which
Comes not to any man.

We have new ideal for real good sport. This
time it is the good friend who will sit in the rear
seat of an automobile and never say critical word
when the driver, straight from the beginners
class" in the driving school, bumps the bumps,
loops the loop shoots the chutes and does variety
of other stunts that no well-bred driver will do.
Then when the drive ends this good sport of ours
sweetly says, 81 think you doing splendidly.
am sure you are going to be fine driver, and
certainly enjoyed my ride with you." Pretty
much prevarcation, of course, but sometimes we
love 'em for the fbs they tell. But the poor
sport is the parsonage, either male female (and
usually the latter who makes casual comment
over every slight CD jolt such having her head
touch the roof of the car, or being thrown onto
the front seat any little thing like that. Then
the climax of this poor sportism is for the said
parsonage to demand, that because the driver has
been slightly indiscreet, she shall buy ice cream
cones for all the passengers. There is special
after death torture for just them kind of folks!

IN MEMORIAM

Debts of gratitude too often are paid with
forgetfulness. Those to whom we owe
them too frequently are rewarded only
with oblivion.
In the enjoyment of our wellbeing, and
of the liberty and opportunity which are
the heritage of Americans. it is we'll that
we should pause for day and recall those
who gained and preserved these rights for
us.
That is the reason for Memorial Day, a
day given in memoriam to the heroes OF
other days to whom we owe so much.
Pause, on this day at least, in grateful
remembrance of our benefactors.

Forest CAN GIVE NO OAK
CREEK ROAD AID NOW

Recently Governor Hunt took up
with the u. S. department of agricul-
ture the matter of obtaining funds for
the construction Of the Oak Creek
road. The reply to this letter lndl-
Gates that it may be some time be-
fore funds for such purpose will be
available. The answer to the COVER
.nor's letter follows:
"Dear Governor Hunt: Last years
six projects were approved for M
clusion in the road construction pro-
gram for Arizona at the conference
between the state highway commits
SION. the bureau, of public roads and
the forest service. These six projects
were the Prescott White Spar, Clifton
Springerville, Camp Verde-Fossill
Creek, Salt River Pleasant Valley
Section /, and Flagstaff-Angel. Due
to the present high cost OF construc-
ion it IS found that considerably more
money that originally contemplated
will be required to complete those
pfojeots.
sCareful consideration must, there
fore, be given to the construction Of
these roads before additional projects
are included in the road program. The
program for Arizona is
now being considered in the field and
a copy OF your letter Is being sent to
The Coconino sun., 1923-06-15
STATE WILL HAVE NO
ROAD FUND OCTOBER |

Road building in Arizona viii be
at standstill by October and funds
for the state highway department
will be nearly $1,D00,00 short unless
means of raising funds for road build
ing work are found to substitute for
the revenue producing clauses vetoed
by Governor Hunt in the highway bill
which went into effect last week.
The status of the states road build
ing program was determined at a
meeting between Wayne Hubbs, state
treasurer, r. H. Ramsey, state audi
tor and Frank r. Goodman, state en-
gineer, over what remains of the
highway bill passed by the recent leg
islature.
A section of the new highway bill
provides for the only revenue by es
tahlishing a levy Of 10 cents on every
s100 Of property valuation in the
state. Estimates made by Auditor
Ramsey places the amount from this
source at S65O,000 or $700,000 State
Engineer Goodman estimates that this
money will suffice to carry the depart
ment only until October. To complete
the road project to which the state
has been committed will require a
sum of $1,500,000
Another blow was given the state
highway department by the refusal
last week of the state auditors office
to issue warrants for the transfer OF
funds to six federal laid road projects
in the state, as provided for in the
opening sections of the new highway
bill. Refusal to issue the warrants is
for the reason that the state treas
ury hasn't the money. These transfers
may be made on July /, the beginning
of the fiscal year, but doubts are ex-
pressed as to their issuance on that
date
The amounts specified by the high
way bill to be transferred to the var
ious road. projects are as follows: Co
conino county, federal aid project, 49,
06l.79; Graham county federal aid
project, $64,8I7.19; Maricopa county
federal aid propect, $42,316.07; Yaya-
pal county federal aid project, $123,
852.78 and Apache county federal aid
project, $15,262.64.
These transfers are from funds 9th
er than those intended to be raised
by the new highway bill, and originat-
ed in the various counties from taxes.
Governor Hunts veto of sections Of
the highway bill included the killing
of the thrcc-cent tax on gasoline; a
tax on stage lines and on truck capac-
ity and certain sections providing for,
the apportionment Of taxes to road
funds.
Two possible means Of relief are
seen by state officials. Should legal
action be taken to determine the le-
gality of Governor Hunts vetoes d
separate sections Of the bill and should
the vetoes be found Invalid, the orig
inal bill and its provisions for raising
funds will stand.
A second possible means Of relief
would be action by the Legislature IN
special session. Governor Hunt has
given no Indication, however, that he
will call a special session, so for the
present, the highway department Is
planning To make the SR50,00na or
100000 which it will receive stretch
the greatest distance.
