of federal aid each year. The state
will have no money to match this fed
by a state bond issue or by the direct
appropriation Of the legislature. II
we do not match the federal aid the
state loses it and we are that much
in the hole. A bond issue is the saf-
est and surest method of meeting the
situation.
If this program is undertaken each
county through its chamber of COM
merce and other civic organizations
should bear the burden Of circulating
the petitions in it's county and Of the
cost of the campaign preceding the
election
1t would no doubt take three or four
years to complete this program, as
of dollars would not be available ex-
cept so much each year; however, we
would get enough federal aid each
year to keep the work moving along
continuously until the entire program
is completed.
During the period of construction
the money raised by taxation and from
other sources in the state for the state
road fund can be used and should be
used for the maintenance of the roads
already built and for the construction
Of roads not included in the seven per
cent system.
Without going into further details
in regard to plans and specifications,
we would like to know If you would

picked it up and saw a slip Of paper

For several minutes he refrained
from extracting the message, while
toying with the idea that it must have

Finally he broke the bottles neck,

through Phoenix, Florence, Tucson to
Nogales on the south and roads lead
ing from every county seat in the
state to Phoenix, the capitol.
We suggest that at the next gen.
eral state election that we submit to
the voters Of the state a proposition
to bond the state by amending the
constitution for the sum of $5,000,O00
these bonds if voted to provide
money to match federal aid only, in
the completion and paving of this
system of roads. 1t should be con-
tinuing program and only a sufficient
amount of bonds should be sold each
year to match the federal aid due the
state that year and not one dollar of
this money should be used except to
match federal aid. We think that
Arizona is too poor and her territory
too vast, to vote bonds to build roads
where the state and counties must
bear the entire cost.
Under the law giving federal aid to
the states for the construction of roads
Arizona gets 81 per cent of the cost
of the roads from the government and
the state puts up only 80 per cent
This means that the federal aid added
to our five millions of dollars would
give us a road fund with which to
complete this system of S12,500, 900.
This, we are assured, would be ample
to complete and pave the entire seven
per cent system and would give to
every county in the state paved road
to the state capitol and access to a
paved road to the borders of the state
east and west and north and south.
Every county and every community in
the state would benefit by the con-
struction of this system of roads.

SCHOOL SYSTEM OF SPOKANE IS
 TO BE CHANGED
New Platoon Plan Is to Sup plant Conventional Sys-
 tenn Now Tn Use.

SPOKANE, July 13.-Thc coming year will see the inauguration of a radical departure in Spokanes grad ed school system, according to c. C.. Pratt, superintendent. If all goes well, the new platoon plan will eventually supplant the conventional systems here in all schools, MT. Pratt says.
 Under the new platoon plan, all classes above the third grade will be divided into two sections. Acti- vities of the two sections of each class will be arranged alternately. Thus while one section studies ar ithemetic, the other will be at man. ual training or sewing. Or while one is tested on spelling, the other will be at a general lecture in the school auditorium. Playground, vocational, and other special activities are to relieve intensive academic study, frequently throughout the day. The school board has approved trial of the system at the Bryant school, which has the necessary auditorium and other featufes.

SESSUE HAvAkAWA WINS IN NEW DRAMA

A new Robertson-Cole super-speclal production, ..Black Roses starring the inimitible dramatic screen artist Sessue Hayakawa, opened an engage ment of two days yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre. This is un- doubtedly the best picture that Hayakawa has made and adds to his laurels as versatile artist. In the cast with Hayakawa is Tsuru Aoki, his patient and pretty wife, who gives a performance quite as wonderful as that of her husband.
 "Black Roses" was written and
 scenarized by E. Sichard Schayer and directed by Colin Campbell. The scenes of the drama are all laid in America with some of the dramatic moments pictured within the precincts of New York's China town. The perfection of settings, both interior and exterior, adds ma terially to the value of the story.
 This picture is shown for the last time tonight, there being two shows.
