CANDIDATES GETTING BUSY.

A City ticket for Councilmen was
slated last Saturday, without an
nouncement in our last issue. The
names proposed thereon as given to
to our editor comprise w. L. Richards
and O. r. Jaycox of the Brayton Com
mercial company; B. G. Straughan of
the Traders Bank; Chas. Shontz of
the City Pool Hall; and Chas. Hyder
of Hyder Bros. Garage. We have no
comment to make about the personel
of the ticket, except that it is an out
and out business mans ticket and not
peoples ticket in which the common
people and residents of the town
should be represented. The interests
of the business section is always we'll
represented in every town of this size.
That's what keeps many of them from
growing. Spuds (and everything else
in proportion) average here around
SO a sack A resident of WiCkenburg
might possibly raise sack of spuds
in his home garden, but it would cost
him So a season to irrigate plot 10
feet square or 100 square feet. Hence
| it is quite natural that people who
want to get spuds Tor any other pro-
duce) cheaper than the prices put on
them by the towns business interests
must go to Phoenx or Flagstaff for
them Many do these things ,and the
money therefor goes away from Wick.
enburg and the Municipal Water com
pany continues a financial failure, be
cause they find better inducements
| elsewhere.
| This paper stands for anything and
| everything that means the growth and
prosperity of the residents and towns
people. When they are prosperous
and contented, there is commensur.
ate prosperity all around. The one
thing most responsible for people
moving away from Wickenburg is its
high water rates which prevent them
from raising anything, at a profit that
goes to feed the family or the horses
chickens or cows that are a neces
sary adjunct to the household. There
is no excuse for the high water rates
and electricity that are every season
prolyfic of poor service and perpet
ual breakdOwns, besides being an oc
casion for acute and derisive criti
cism.
The ticket set forth may be all
right, but the members of the pro
posed new Council have not given
us platform as is customary. This
town needs lower taxation, lower
rates for light and water, efficient
service in every department of the
municipality, and as representative
of the whole people. unless town
council is elected that can remedy
these matters, people will continue
to move away as they are doing al
the rate of 800 year.

YAvAPA| COUNTY
GETTING ENV|OUS

Through the activities of Wicken-
burg road boosters, aided to some ex-
tent by Phoenix, survey has been
made of road from Yarneli to point
on the Congress Junction -Wickenburg
link in the Hassayampa trail, which
it is claimed will chop off four and
one-half miles of the route. 1t also is
asserted that the cutoff can be built
at less cost than the road from Var
nell to Congress Junction, but there
is no proof of this.
The highway from Wickenburg to
Congress Junction is completed, ex-
cept for the surfacing, and it is an
unusually good road. Yavapai cOun-
ty owes Congress Junction the cour
tesy of road, and one will have to
be maintained to that place, but, if
the cutoff is constructed, the county
itself will have to maintain con-
nection to the Junction, whereas the
other one eventually will be kept in
condition by the State. Thus, the
plan means an additional expense to
this county.
Another thing, the Hassayampa
trail was made possible through the
expenditure of. Yavapai county money
and that portion of it in this county
which is about all Of it-should be
constructed in accordance with the
wishes of the people Of Yavapai.
| Wickenburg has contributed nothing
| toward this highway, and just why
| it's people feel il their duty to come
| into Yavapai and make survey for
the purpose of changing the course
of Yavapaibuilt road is something
close to presumption-gone-m 1t is
understood delegation from Mari
! copa county has been to San Fran
cisco to try to influence the federal
engineer to favor the cutoff, but the
belief has been expressed that the
department of agriculture favors max
| ing use of the existing road.
| It would seem out OF place for a
bunch of Yavapai people to hire some
| one to make survey of highway
wholly within Maricopa county, and
the people of the county would not
think of doing such thing, espec-
tally had they been in opposition to
the road in question, as the Mari
cOpans have the Hassayampa trail.
| sIneT0 1S no CSTtdAAty what snO
eventual decision will be, but one
thing is sure, it should be deter
mined by the will Of Yavapai county.
And no obstacle should be permitted
to hamper the completion of the road,
as the cutoff sQuabble promises to
do. At the next meeting Of the Yav-
apai county chamber OF commerce
this matter will be threshed out thor
oughly.-Courier.
