B|LLBOARDS To
Be TAKEN DOWN

Bill boards and other advertising
signs which decorate" the state
highways of Arizona are doomed!
Notice has been served by the state
highway department on all advertis-
ers using the rights of way to remove
their signs at once or the state will
remove them.
An announcement to this effect was
made this week by W. C. LeFebvre,
state engineer, in the course of an in
teresting talk on the new national ar
terial system, and the adoption by
the National Association of State
Highway officials of a standard sys-
tenn of marking both national and
state routes. The address was given
as the feature of gathering of the
Phoenix Hiram club at the Masonic
temple
The speaker in opening his re-
marks gave credit to the work of var
ious highway associations in the early
history of highway development, but
voiced his opinion that such organi-
cations are now maintained princi-
pally to afford jobs for officers and
for routing travel for commercial ad-
vantage. There was also a constant
overlapping of signing, he stated In
were covered with the signs of an
other organization.
To eliminate the confusion of sign
ing was the object of get-together
between national and state highway
officials, the speaker said, and the
working out of standard system Of
signing, which he proceeded to illus
trate with actual models and designs
All national routes are marked
with white shield with black bor-
der and letters and numbers, all state
trunk routes are marked with a dis
tinctive sign, which in the case of
Arizona is that of the outline of the
state.
All warning and caution markers
have black border and lettering on
yellow background. Railroad cross
ing signs are circular in form. the
octagonal form means full stop, the
diamond shape means "slow' and
the caution signs take the square
form.
One man has been placed in charge
of the signing of all routes in Ari-
zona, to secure uniform placement,
and all counties and cities will be
asked to cooperate, the speaker said
In this connection he commended the
adoption of the standardized sign by
Phoenix for the new boulevard stop
signals.
The signing of all state roads will
be undertaken through cooperation
with the Automobile Club of Arizona,
it was announced. Plans are now be-
ing worked out. The first step to-
ward uniform signing was taken by
the national association Feb 20, 1925,
and it was hoped, he said, that an
order for the Arizona signs would
be given by Feb. of this year.

4 THLINGET LEGEND
How and Why the Cornorant Lost His Tongue

Raven (called Ye1 by the Thingets) the Creator and Benefactor of mankind was walking along the beach with his servant Cormorant (called Whiskey-bottle for a nickname because they sit low rocks and look like whiskey bottles-but called Yuk by the Natives). They came to town and told that there was plenty of halibut out in front of the town. So Raven and Yuk decided to go fishing.
 1t seems that Yuk being a real fisherman caught all the halibut and Raven caught noth- ing. As they were returning, Raven figured way to hide his disgrace from the townspeople, so he said to Yuk; My partner, what is on your tongue? Stick out your tongue so that I can look at it." Yuk obeyed his master and stuck out his tongue. In those days the Cor morant could talk just well as anybody else. Raven seized Yuk's tongue and pulled it out. Then Raven said "Let hear you talk' Yuk tried to talk and only able to say "Wah-h-h-h-." Raven than said "That is fine You talk much better now than you used to-" and Yuk believed it.
 Since that day, Yuk has never said more than just "Wah-h-h-" for the Thlingets claim the Cormorant lost his tongue at that time
 When they came to town, Raven appropriated all the halibut, taking his time, lifting the hal. ibut out in full view of the crowd of people who had gathered to watch such successful fisherman. Yuk was frantic and tried to stop him. He called to the people that the halibut his, but nobody could understand him. F- nally when Raven lifted great, big halibut up, Yuk made that queer noise which attracted the peoples attention. Raven however explain ed to the people; "This is the one, about which

CONGRESSMAN WHITE OF MAINE

The lteracy qualification clause of the State of Maine, from which MT. White halls, did not disfranchise those voters who had already ex- ercised the right of voting Why does he now travel 5000 miles to Alaska and propose some thing that his own state would not permit. The section of the Maine constitution to which we refer follows;
 "Section 2o. No person shall have the right to vote or be eligible to office under the Con- stituton of this State who shall not be able to read the Constitution in the English language and write his name; provided, however, that the provision of this amendment shall not apply to any person prevented by a physical disability from complying with its acquisitions, NOR TO ANY PERSON WHO NOW HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE, to any person who shall be sixty years of age or upwards at the time this amendment shall take effect
 Perhaps if Tony Dimond, the democratic at- torney of the Alaska Packers Association had been able to hand MT. White bill taking away the ballot from all who could not read the con- stituton in Maine MT. White would certainly have had such law adopted.
 Or perhaps MT. Whites friends feel that it is all right for illiteracy to sit enthroned in Maine but nowhere else.
 Or is it not rather that Mr. White has very tender spot in his heart for the owners of the Catherine D. in which he and Congressman Free travelled "at their expense last summer.

He's Still the
SIickest Ever

Re LICK traders up Vermont way must have
III felt alarm more than once as they read
the detailed story, just published, of David j.
Lewis reappointment to the United States
tariff commission in 1924.
You remember how Coolidge called Lewis
to the White House, having first sent word to
him privately that he should bring along his
resignation-his resignation from the office to
which he was going to be appointed This was
to enable Coolidge to get rid of him later if he
didn't like his behavior
Well, the story-not denied by the White
House spokesman-proceeds from that point
The commission of appointment was lying
on the President S desk. When Lewis arrived
the President took up his pen and signed it. He
handed it to Lewis. And then he said:
did you bring that letterY'' (The letter
of resignation.)
Now, can't you see them shaking their
heads around the old box stove up in Yer
montY Can't you hear them?
II dunt believe it. Thet dunt sound like
Call Thet amt good tradin'. He hadn t
ougbta let go of tibet commission, by gravy, tel
he d got holt of tibet letter! Cal want watch
in all his berries tibet timel''
And can't you see their relief as they read
further and discovered that Lewis was simple
minded Marylander, who wouldn ! take advan-
tage Of Calvin s carelessness; a man who would
say, "No, didn't prepare a resignation and
| wont. But nobody knows except you and
me, that you We given me this commission and
you can tear it up
And their new CONSERVATION as they dis
cover the President getting angry-it's never
good business to get mad in a trade-and re-
fusing to take back the commission There
must have been agitation among the chin
whiskers when they came to that part of the
story.
But, of course, the folks up home didn I
understand the whole situation as well as their
hero in the White House. They didn Il realize
that, politically. it was necessary for the Presi-
dent to appoint Lewis and that it was possible
for the President later to nullify the appoint.
ment by not sending it to the Senate for con
irmation.
When these facts became clear we feel
sure that Coolidge resumed in their minds his
eminent place-the slckest trader, by craekv
that ever was President
