NEW MEXICO TAKES A BOW

New Mexico newspapers are
boosting the highways Of New
Mexico at the expense of other
states. The New Mexico High
way department deserves all the
praise and encouragement that
cau be given it in developing its
highways, but why knock the
other fellow? The Lordsburg
Liberal contains the following
blurb:
After travelling over the Ari.
zona roads, I want to tell you
that the New Mexico roads are
just like Heaven" said T. R.
Poutious, q California motorist,
who was a visitor at the Lords
burg Chamber of Commerce.
The fact is, I never saw better
highways anywhere than you
have in New Mexico. That is
why we like to come here"
Mr.. Pontious would like to
have the New Mexico High way
Department esta blish training
school Tor all the rest OF the
state. "
AS far as Mr.. Pontious is con
cerned, little is to be expected
from him or any Of the Califor.
MIA Pilates than rap at Ari
zona, whether it be highways,
the Colorado River or other like
subjects.
On one point we can agree
with Mr.. Pontious. and that is
that New Mexico is doing great
work in developing her roads.
More power to her. But when
be derides the continental high
ways Of Arizona be shows either
woeful ignorance on the sub
iect or an overwhelming preju
dice against Arizona.
Arizona has no need to boast
Of her wonderful highway sys
tenn. Men with far greater in.
formation than Mr.. Pontious
appears to have, and who are
without prejudice, are strong in
their praise'of the Arizona high,
way system. Young MIR. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, widely known
as a globe trotter and newspaper
man, who has crossed the con.
tinent and travelled Arizona high
ways on numerous occasions, is
responsible for the assertion
that Arizona has the finest dirt
roads of any state in the Union
and concrete roads that are
second to none.
Mr.. Pontious may now take
the witness stand.

1924 were 1928, while in 1929
there were 1O8, ,O13 vehicles reg
istered, an increase of 51,185.
This gives an increase Of SO 81
per cent for the five years.
Going further back we find
that in 1918 Arizona registered
26. 295 vehicles. The increase in
1929 over 1918 shows 81, ,718 OF

Motor vehicle owners for the

USE TELEPHONE IN TRAIN DIS
PATCHING

The use of the telephone in
train dispatching is growing
steadily. On account of the in-
creased efficiency and greater
ease in handling train operations
with the telephone, q dispatcher
can handle a longer length of
line than would be possible by
telegraph and with little or no
increased effort.
In some busy signal towers,
especially at terminals where
there are heavy train move.
ments. requiring an operator
and lever man, the use of the
telephone with a loud speaker"
enables the leverman to keep
posted constantly and to antici-
pate certain train movements SO
that he can more quickly line up
such movements when directed
by the operator, thus saving
seconds or minutes which are
important.
Through the use of portable
sets, section men, bridge men
and building gangs and others
at work along the right of way
can also keep in constant com.
munication with headquarters.
The use of the telephone also
enables the railroads to bring
about many other efficiencieS
