Amendment Would Classify Highways
OF Arizona And Increase Motor
Fuel Tax Four To Five Cents

a system of highways ON parity with
other states, has been submitted to
Secretary of State I. P. Frazier, by
the Arizona Good Roads associa-
ton in the form of an initiative
petition, bearing 1924 signatures.
In brief the proposal would amend
the state constitution by adding
thereto IAN article authorizing the
state of Arizona, n addition to the
limited power to conduct debts pro-
vided in Section 5, Article TX of said
constitution to issue and sell Ari-
IONA highway bonds in principal

for the construction and improve
ment of state highways;
Providing for the levy of mo-
tor vehicle fuel licence tax and for
application and distribution of the
proceeds thereof authorizing the
loan commissioners to issue and sell
said bonds and provide for the am
ortization thereof out of a portion
of said license tax and out of the
funds otherwise to accrue to Ari-
IONA highway department and pro-
viding that if said funds are in
sufficient for such purpose, the de-
ficiency shall be paid by tax levied
upon the taxable property in the
State of Arizona;
"Pledging the full faith, credit
and resources of the State of Ari-
zona to the payment of said bonds
and the interest thereon; limiting
the amount of ad valorem state
taxes for highway purposes; per-
petuating certain state revenues to
the retirement Of said bonds; clas-
styling the state highways of the
State of Arizona as primary and
secondary highways and specify the
highways to be included in each
classification"
Section 7, of the proposed amend
ment, would divide primary high

MIA state line via Douglas, Bisbee,

LIBERIA HAS RADIO
COMMUNICATION

Akron, o. (CNS)-Africa's jun
gle is now within a split seconds
time of. the United States and other
parts of the world, Harvey S. Fire
stone, Jr., president of the United
States-Liberia corporation, announc-
ed today.
This company is licensed to op-
crate the utility by authority of the
Federal Radio Commission and the
Republic of Liberia.
Short wave service to Liberia
with Akron as the terminus is
now in operation and radio experts
consider the system one of the
most efficient in the world. Several
years of intensive experimenting
were necessary before the service
was put in operation.
Messages may be given to any
Western Union office in the United
States for transmission to Liberia
by the United States-Liberia Radio
Corporation system. In addition to
the United States, messages may
be sent to Liberia from practically
all parts of the world and the same
service is available in Liberia.
Liberia, with the exception Of
Haiti, is the only Negro republic
in the world. 1t lies on the west
coast of Africa between French
Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone and
is within 4,400 miles direct sailing
distance from New York. Approx
mately $4,000 square miles in area,
the country is roughly the size of
Ohio.
The Firestone Company is devel-
oping a 100000 acre rubber plan
tation in Liberia. Started five years
ago, the first rubber from the
newly planted areas will be har-
vested this fall, according to Off
Gals.
Liberia is a vastly changed coun-
try since Harvey S. Firestone de-
cided that the African republic was
one of the best places in the world
to grow rubber.
A new interest has been taken
by Liberians, in their progress;
churches, schools and hospitals have
been built, work has been provided
for thousands of natives, and pub
lie road mileage has tripled.
Liberia was settled in 1921 amid
difficulties greaer perhaps, according
to Liberian students, than the Pill
grim Fathers experienced landing
in America. The first settlers who
sought to colonize on the west
coast of Africa, under the auspices
of the American Colonization Soci-
ETY. called their first settlement
"Monrovia, ," in honor of President
Monroe. Monrovia is still the cap
! itol of Liberia.

Toledo Lad Is
Youngest Vet
OF World War
Experienced Anxiety Through
War Trying to Keep His
Real Age Secret
DECORATIONS; BRAVERY
Capital News Service)

(Capltal news SefVlce)
Washington, D. c. Arthur
Johnson, now twenty-seven years
old, of Toledo, Ohio, is believed to
be the youngest veteran of the
World War.
Enlisting in the United States
Army at the age of fifteen years
and two months, he saw ten months
of active service in France with
the American Expeditionary Forces
was awarded the French Croix de
Guerre and was discharged before
he reached his seventeenth birth
day.
Although the War Department
was unable to establish this fact
definitely when oleried by Repre-
sentative Oscar DaN 'Iest, to whose
attention the youta's record had
been called, he is known to be sew
eral months younger than an At
lanta white youth who claims to be
listed in the annals of the War De-
partment as the youngest soldier
to serve in France during the
World War.
He was just a school lad when,
prompted by thirst for adventure,
he enlisted in Toledo IAN January
5, 1918, two months after he had
passed his fifteenth birthday.
He gave his date and place of
birth as November 5, 1899, at
Cadillac, Mich. The enlisting officer
at the recruiting station doubling
his twenty-one birthdays, ques-
toned him closely for a time but
later passed him. He was sent i'm
mediately to Fort Thomas, KY.
But even after he was in camp
and assigned to Company B of the
370th Infantry (the old Eighth
Cavalry led by Captain Stewart
