this should produce a very large
volume of money which mainly
comes thru Nogales channels and
goes into the pockets of the vari-
Gus factors connected with the
business, and very large amount
of money goes into the hands Of
the growers in Mexico, who pass
thru Nogales, more or less during
the year, spending their money in
making purchases here.
"There is splendid rice crop
on the West Coast and with the
rains and conditions existing there
should be a very prosperous year
ahead for all factors operating
south of Nogales, and this should
bring a very large volume of busi-

COL. ALLEN T. BIRD
Col. Allen L. Bird, president of
the Kino Copper Company says:
"There are q number of well
founded reasons for predicting a
prosperous year in Nogales and
Santa Cruz County through 1927
and probably for several years
following. An abundant preci-
pitation has broken drought of
several years in succession, and in
the cycle recognized by observers
there are due several years Of good
rainy seasons, with abundant grass
end water for range cattle, and
consequent prosperity for stock
raisers; with assured rains farm
ers will raise good crops, while the
mining boom now beginning Will
assure good markets for their pro-
duce. Completion Of the South
ern Pacific f Mexico to connection
with the railway system on the
east side Of the Sierra Madre
should and will bring greatly in
creased traffic, both freight and
passenger, adding to the movement
in and through the line city. While
above all and over all is an im-
mense mining boom now fairly
started, gathering momentum each
day. The unparalleled mineral
resources of the Patagonia, Santa
Rita and Atascosa Mountains are
beginning to attract attention OF
mining operators and investors;
daily new ones enter the field to
purchase and acquire properties,
which they begin working right
away; and a number Of big deals
| are pending. One sale Of great
property is pending at q price OF
one million dollars, with two buy
ers after it, while the company
owning is consideringan opportuni-
tv for erection Of a big ccncentra-
ton mill by millionaire capitalist
who will take pay in shares in the
capital stock. But that Is only
one Of many. With reasons set
forth there is very reason to pre-
dict a prosperous year in 1927 and
several years afterward."

Road-Building Activity

Feverish road-building activity in
many states is the result of laud-
able desire to keep the highway up
with the automobile. Pennsylvania

highway improvements, and construc-

Gently submitted a 12-year program
for the development of 1900 miles of
modern roads-not an inconsequential
task for a small state
These programs are the result of
extensive surveys, but the question
arises: Are they adequate? 1t is
doubtful whether any man a genera
ton ago could have forecast the tre-
mendous Increase of motor travel. 1t
is also doubtful whether any present
day surveys can quite encompass the
future.
The growth of the modern highway
systems makes a striking story Be
fore the automobile came into general
use little attention was paid to the
roads If they were pasSable, they
would do; smoothness was not Il great
factor in the horse-and-buggy days
But with the advent OF the automobile
better and smoother highways were
demanded. Highway commissions were
created .n1 millions of dollars in an
preparations and taxes were exchanged
for surveys, labor and materials to
increase the speed and comforts of
travel. Each year finds the struggle
intensified. Possibly the highway will
catch up with the automobile when
commercial air routes begin to bear
some large proportion of the modern
transportation burden.

School Expenditures
Proves Not a Burden

There is an interesting story Of
the development and growth Of Am
erican education, and of our school
system in the current issue of the
National Republic. II was written
by John j Tieert, United States
Commissioner of Education who is
frequent contributor TO the Ma
tional Republic. Mr.. Tieert tells in
dn interesting way the progress
made by the school in America in
colonial days. IN the Revolutionary
DAYS, in the early part of the nlne-
leenth century, in the ante-bellum
days and in the period following
the Civil War. In speaking Of the
cost of our school system. in his
conclusion Mr.. Tigert says;
Some uninformed persons con-
tend that the mounting school costs
are leading toward bankruptcy, but
the facts reveal that the cost of
education, great as it is. is but a
small fraction of the annual income
Of the nation, or even of the expen-
ditures regularly made for luxuries.
The present outlay for education
could be considerably increasrd
without encroaching upon any of
the nations economic needs. Fur
hermore, economic progress and
prosperity directly correlate with
education.
More than two billion dollars a
year are required to support public
education at the present time but
il is the price which the nation pays
for welfare and safety of the repub.
lie. Measured in these terms ii is
the cheapest commodity we buy.
Provision for universal free educa-
ton is not only blessing to a ma
tim like ours but is a necessity for
its perpetuity. Public government
rests upon public education, aud ig-
nOrance has ever been the snrest al
ly to desp0tism and tyranny.
In no other country in the world
has such enthusiasm for education
been manifested and sued tremen
dous sums expended for common
schools and institutions of higher
learning as here.
In the United States we are COM
mitted to free state. free religion
aud free education. The federal
government has been wisely sepa-
rated from the functions of knowl
edge and religion. But, neverthe
less, the American people may be
averred to have passion and a
faith in religion and education,
which are more truly the express
sion of an ideal of all the people
tt \ can be said of any other mat
ter that has ever concerned us as a
nation
