10000 Arizona people outside the Salt

the seven per cent system and, like
all roads in the desert regions of
southwestern Arizona, must be pro-
vided with a hard surface before it

it will stand up under the demands

to accommodate; and
Whereas, $500 100000 matched with
federal aid money will give us $9,OO0,-

the Phoenix Yuma road, build a fine
bridge at Gillespie Dam and construct
"a good paved road from Gila Bend
to Ajo; and,
Whereas, the Phoenix Yuma road is
graded and macadamized its entire
length, and California is rushing to
completion it's road to connect with
it at the interstate highway bridge
at Yuma; and Yuma county has con-
structed a good dirt road across the
northern part of the county from the
Maricopa county line east of Wenden
to the Colorado river west of Parker,
where it connects with California
roads leading westward, and Marico-

road from Wickenburg west to the
Yuma county line, where it meets the
Yuma county road, and Yuma county
has connected Ehrenburg with it's

Whereas, the financial condition of
Arizona is such that it is not able

that we are unequivocally opposed to
said proposed measure and said pro-

bat it in every way we can; and we
call upon the people of the state, the

and other organizations in the state
to aid us in defeating it.

OPPOSE BOND ISSUE
FOR BUILDING 7 HE
WEAK-END HIGHWAY

At a recent meeting of the Arizona
Good Roads association, resolution
was submitted to a vote of directors
and officers expressing unequivocal
opposition to the issuance of bonds
to the amount of $3,500,000 for the
building of paved highway from
Phoenix to the Colorado river at a
point near Ehrenberg. The resolution
was adopted by vote of 10 to l by
the directors and to 1 by the officers
of the Good Roads association. The
resolution follows:
Whereas, the voters Of Arizona will
be called upon to vote, at the general
election to be held November 4, 1924,
upon an initiative measure which pro-
poses the bonding of the state for
$3,500,000 to be used to construct
road from the bridge over the Has
sayampa river in Township l south,
Range 5 west, of the Gila and Salt
river base and meridian, by the short
est feasible route to a point on the
Colorado river at, or near, Ehrenberg !;

Whereas, the said proposed road
will not traverse a single settlement
in Arizona, but will traverse a coun-
try with no population and with no
immediate possibility of development,

can only serve as a tourist road over
which tourists may be hurried out OF
Arizona and into Los Angeles as rap
idly as possible, thereby primarily
serving Los Angeles to the detriment
of Arizona; and
Whereas, the seven per cent system
is far from completion and should be
completed at as early date as pos
sible, and every dollar spent upon
useless highways still further delays
the completion of the seven per cent

and
Whereas, all roads should first be

gress will be called Immediately and
instructed to pass agricultural relief
laws. if the Independent ticket is
successful, Senator Burton X. Whee-
Ter announced TO his farmer audience
at this northern point Of his crusade
today.
The only definite hope for relief
for the farmers lies with the Pro-
gressives who long ago began fight
ing your battles in Washington,
Wheeler declared.
Opponents Tricky
"Our opponents would trick you.
President Coolidge has announced
his farm program as wait a while
He would appoint an agricultural
commission to study a situation
which is obvious to every one else
at present. No good could possibly
come Of It until you and I are dead"
Dawes. the Daugherty of the new
Republican ticket, openly states farm
questions have no part in this cam
paign and he will say nothing about
them.
Davis says he would help the
farmers. but he doesn't say how.
What other politician would not say
as much?"
Reports have been brought TO
Wheeler concerning a terrific drive
planned by Republicans to over
throw the claimed La Toilette ma
jority in this State. Impartial OBJ
servers here say that the State of
Minnesota is by no means safe for
the Independents. They believe the
recent change in farm prices may
have caused some farmers to change
their minds

American Legion Helps
Widow in Need of Aid

A widow Of Ohio who had two sons
In the service, one having died in
service and one since as a result of
service, held two compensation checks
received by her son but not indorsed
by him before his death. The burial
expenses for her son amounted to
more than $500. She needed cash. Her
son had told her before his death that
II, after his death, she needed advice
and assistance to go to the American
Legion. She did. Through the agency
of the American Legion the Probate
court was prevailed upon to execute
administration papers at a cost of $50
less than in usual cases and the much
needed checks were redrawn in favor
of the widow. Claim was made by the
service department of the Legion for
death compensation for the widow and
in less than three weeks the claim was
allowed by the bureau and the widow
granted a death compensation of $50
a month until 1887.

DICTIONARIES AID
VETERANS OF 1864

The things that will or will not
make good news copy vary greatly
with the passing of the years. An
nouncement that the Union Veteran
Legion uld hold its annual national
convention some time in September in
Altoona, Pa, made only a bare inch
of newspaper copy. and who, and
what, is the Union Veteran Legion
anyway, that they should be given
even an inch of space in the newspa-
pers? l don't recollect ever having
heard of them," you say. Which is
rather surprising, for at one time in
the nations history the Union Veteran
Legion was making column after col
umn of breathless copy. Sherman's
march to the sea made good copy in
those days-frst-page stuff that was
avidly read by a grateful populace.
But that was more than half CEN
fury ago and news values change and
the makers of much of that copy, the
Union Veteran Legion, are dropped
from the first page entirely and get
only skinny inch on an inside sheet.
However, there are those in these
United States who read the newspa-
pers rather carefully, among them the
American Legion, and the bare inch
of copy concerning the proposed ma
tiOnal convention of the Union Vet
eran Legion was sufficient to catch
the eye of American Legionnaires of
Altoona and interest them to such an
extent that committee was imme-
diately appointed to aid the Union
Veteran Legion in preparing for their
national convention In appointing
the committee to help the Union Vet
eran Legion with their convention, the
American Legion was motivated by
the following facts:
To be a member of the Union Vet
eran Legion one must have been
volunteer and have served not less
than three years in the Civil war.
Most of the surviving members of the
organization are very old, and the
toll, harassments and uncertainty Of
preparing for a national convention
would be a severe strain upon the
strength of the veterans of ga. SO
the American Legion decided to lift
the load from the shoulders of their
venerable comrades to enable them to
be free to enjoy themselves without
the worries and trials incident to the
administration of a convention.
