the present government and the per-
sonnel of the state highway depart
ment, there would be such carnival
of extravaganza in campaign times
as we have never dreamed of.
As we have observed, the purpose
of the Good Roads association in the
proposal of this measure was good
one, but, unfortunately the actual
framing of it was left to others out
side the association, who caused jok-
ers to be inserted. We have no space
to go into them at length at this time,
but we will refer to one of them, an
attempt to put the stage or notorious
lines out of business In Arizona.
Under the present law, these lines
pay small seat tax on motor bus
ses. 1t is conceded to be sufficient
and reasonable tax. The proposed
bill increases this tax to five mills
per seat, per mile. Thus, the average
notorious plying between Phoenix and
California would have to pay on each
trip between Phoenix and Yuma $26,
though it might have no passengers;
the tax is on the seat, whether it is
occupied or not.
1t has always been the theory of
the Republican that those who make
a commercial use of the highways
should be made to pay for that priv
ilege. But here is an extortionate and
indefensible tax which, if the voters
consent to apply it, will throttle a
great transportation industry.
The trainers of the bill say that
such. an exhorbitant and destructive
tax was not intended; that a typo
graphical error was committed; that
instead of five mill tax, it was in
tended to impose a tax of five-tenths
of a mill. 1t is hardly conceivable
that such an error could have escaped
notice. But, anyway, it is now in the
bill, and, if voted by the people, it
will be the law and will have pre-
cisely the same effect as if it had
been placed there by deliberate in
tent, as we believe it to have been
done.
This, however, is the least of the
evils of the bill. The worst is the
further entrenching of the state
highway department as political
machine, and the further increase of
the difficulty of undermining the de-
partment and taking it out Of poll

WAR VETS NIGHT TO BE HELD
NOVEMBER 10 AT STATE FAIR

Wednesday night, November 10,
will be known as War Veterans
Night at the twenty-second annual
Arizona free state fair, November 8
to 13. The fair commission has
turned the entire grandstand over to
the veterans for that night.
The war veterans are now working
on one of the most pretentious pro-
grams ever presented, in the state.
There will be numerous surprise fea-
lures. music and several statewide
contests that will set mark for 9TH
!ers to shoot at for many years to
come.
This Wednesday night program
will be the only night grandstand
attraction during the entire fair. The
regular fair program will be present
ed during the afternoon, and while
the exhibits will remain open until
nine PM. there will be no grand
stand attraction at night. The Ex-
position shows and the Gladway at
fractions will remain open until mid
night-and there will be. more than
enough excitement for all.
The veterans committee now work
ing on the big Wednesday night pro-
gram are urging all eX-serylcemen
who plan to attend the fair to ar
range their dates so as to be in Phoe-
nix for the night show and remain
over for the Armistice day attrac-
tiens. The veterans are urging ali
the warriors to bring the family
along and make the night and day
shows regular get together" out
ing.
There will be plenty of good music
as several well known bands have al
ready been contracted for by the vet
erans.
The big state fair program which
will get under way Monday, Novenl-
ber s, will include daily whippet rae
es, horse races, circus acts, an aerial
circus, auto races, and Is buildings
loaded to the rafters with Arizona
products. All railroads are offering
reduced rates to the fair.

TELLS ABOUT NKERS
In PROPOSED LAWS
(Arizona Republican,

The voters of Arizona will have
two ssmeasures before them on No
vember 2 to be approved or disap-
proved. Both should be defeated.
One which will appear upon the bal
lot as 3O4-3O5 bears the title, Estate
Highway Finance Bill" The other,
306-3O7, has the alluring caption,
automobile Tax Reduction Law.
We trust that the voters VIII not
become so engrossed in the fortunes
of any candidate for office as to ov-
erlook the glaring defects of these
two measures. They so abound in
defects that they can be treated only
in asseries of articles, of which this
is the first.
The state highway finance meas
ure, sponsored by the Good Roads
association, was conceived in a good
purpose, that of raising money to
carry on continuously good roads
construction and maintenance pro-
gram and to enable the state to
avail itself Of federal aid. But the
bill Is fundamentally bad in that it
fastens more firmly upon the state
the present state highway depart
ment system and gives 1t a much
greater power for evil.
With such a measure, approved by
the people, remedial legislation could
be effected in only one way, by the
people. The chances of our securing
a modern state highway department,
directed by a non-partisan, continu-
ing and Independent commission,
would be pushed into the indefinite
and distant future.
The states highway department as
it sis now constituted would be pro-
videds with unbounded funds from a
variety of sources, including the
present, sources, and the department
would be iven a more unrestricted
control over them than it now en-
joys. Another source would be an
authorized $10,0O0,000 bond issue,
There is provision for little or no re-
striction upon the expenditure OF

the opportunity for waste and ex-
travagance.
We shall deal again and in detail
with this measure, and shortly, with

for which we have at this moment no
adequate space. It has been truly
said of it, that it is vicious in every
paragraph" a proposed model Of
waste and extravaganza. Yet, it is
so alluring to a large number of vot-
ers that there is grave danger of its
enactment unless the farmers, the
business men, the home owners and
the owners of every other class of
taxable property should organize
against it.
