WhGth0f f0SlQGnClaI or OtnefWlSe; that only SUI
fcient business places be allowed to care for ira
vel in emergencies, say one for each half mile or
more This will answer Judge Smiths statement
that owners of business property on Van Buren
Street may think their property and business
would be endangered by another street of small
business houses. The boulevard should be
planned as to trees on the south side Of the road
for shade and in line with the tree movement of
the valley. These were not premature sugges-
tons but would create Immediately new home
building district and enhance the value of far
rnerS' properties who so generously cOODerated in
giving the right Of way.
From then on the meeting was turned into a
discussion of bridge at Tempe Again speak
ing to an objection as to taxes at this time being
added to the state, Tempe's committee pointed
out that gasoline tax was being collected every
day, and that one would think the state of Ari-
zona had stopped building roads in the face of a
beginning prosperity. 1t was pointed out that
the state was using UP road money to improve
and build roads, not one Of which is as important
an artery as the one in question. a demand for
this would not cost the taxpayers anything be-
cause other roads very TnUci less important to the
life Of the state could wait awhile
The Tempe committee believes most Of the
listeners were convinced about q bridge and one
Of our Iu6eWarTn citizens must have been con-
verted to the idea else Mr.. Geo. o. Ford would not
have brought up the question in a recent issue Of
the Arizona Gazette

PROVERBS TP-TO-DATE
Man born Of woman is here because he's here
He goeth somewhere and kn0Weth not where
His days are numbered and he gOeth thr0uoh
them as an arrow g0eth through cheese
His years are tcree-sc0re and ten and he f11e
them with sni67le and piffle.
Man l00keth down upon the beasts of the fo7dI
and the birds Of the air and the fish Of the deeDI
and calls them dumb brutos.
Like the fool he pattoth himself on the hack
for the wisdom that is not in him and ca77ofb him
self the crown of creation
But / say unto you man is dunber than t7roI
dunno brutes, and every day in every way he Get
tefh dUmber and dUmber
For the beasts OF the field di0 holes fo7, +roi,.I
abodes while man rears holes above ground.
He c0mpasseS them with expensive r0qq00rvi
ana crowns them with mortgages which disturb
his slumber
The bear grows his own winter coat and wheni
the berries Wither before the FROST he cravs infO
hollow log and sleeps until the blue bells ring
for breakfast
But man purchases a fur coat on the easy
payment plan and shovels snow all winter that he
may raise the berries to pay for the coat.
And do not the fish go fishing every dav Of
their lives, while the poor fish who toll in work.
houses, mines and market places are lucky if
they save enough sheles in twelve moons to 90
fishing one week?
Therefore, we say unto you walk humble in
the eyes of the brutes, for even the worm can
both ends Nop0f md hot io i l.
