BIG ROAD BUILDING
PROGRAM TO Start

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. e.
UP)-One of the largest
road building programs to be
launched by Arizona for the
purpose of relieving unem-
ployment will be underway
within the near future.
In signing House Bill 45,
Governor Hunt made avail
able for immediate construc-
ton work, with federal aid
funds, more than $4,000
and provided for a one cent
increase in the state gasoline
tax.
After weathering a turbu-
lent session in the House
where Maricopa representa-
tives fought passage House
Bill 45 came through the
Senate with flying colors by
a vote of Is to 3.
The senate"s action in
passing the measure was a
surprise to legislators. Sena-
tor Kelly. Graham, several
hours before passage of the
bill, had introduced a subs
titute measure in the senate
providing for issuance of ST.
100000 in anticipation
bonds.
After a brief skirmish,
Senator Kelly's bill was in
definitely postponed and
House Bill 45, with the sigma
ture of President Sutter went
back to the House to be con-
veyed to Governor Hunt.
In presence of Speaker
Harmon, q quartet of news
papermen. and the execu-
tive's So .retary, Governor
Hunt at hed his signature
to the bili, which carried a
clause making the law in
force Immediately. 1t was
the first law to be enacted
by the present legislature.

HIGHWAY CONSTRUC-
ton PROGRAM GIVEN
WIDE PUBLICITY

Local residents are being
given preference in munich
pal projects under way in
several communities. Ari-
zona's unemployment pro-
blem has been complicated
by the large number of trans
tents and outside workers
who have come here in re-
cent months. Industrial con-
gress advises residents of
other states not to come here
in search of employment at
this time. The recent state
and federal action assuring
an unusually large highway
construction program this
year has been given wide
publicity, and lead unem-
ployed workers of other
states to seek jobs here.
There is ample supply of
Arizona labor available for
al work in sight and every
effort is being made to give
state residents preference in
employment.

Wild GAME BOOTLEG
GER ARE ACTIVE

The wild-game "bootleg"
season is at hand, and the
biological survey of the
United States department of
agriculture finds game-laws
violators up to their old
ricks. A recent incident SER
yes to show the tactics en-
ployed by hunters and trap
ers to sell their birds in viola
ton of the migratory bird
treaty act.
In a suspiciously heavy
"crate of eggs were found a
considerable number of
ducks packed with one lay
er of eggs on top. Not only
was the sale of these ducks
a violation of the law, but it
appeared that the ducks had
been caught in traps, another
violation.
With the cooperation OF
shipping agencies, the BIO
logical survey has effective
ly reduced the number of at
tempts to "bootleg" migra-
tory birds through the mails
or by express. The new fed
eral possession limit of sc
ducks and eight geese is OF
much assistance to the game
law enforcement officers. in.
pectors are alert in efforts to
detect illicit sales of game.

INTERPRETATION
OF DR.. EINSTE|N

News comes from Pasa-
dena that Professor Einstein
has junked his relativity
theory though preserving a
part of the debris ma
terial to be used in a new
one, now in process of de-
velopment. The Professor
has also revised his notions
regarding the universe. We
also learn from the Pasadena
Dispatch that "a gasp of as
tonishment" swept through
the small audience when
the Berlin professor with a
few simple words made this
revelation"
A few scientific gentlemen
have been kept gasping by
Professor Einstein for more
than a decade. At first they
gasped to know what he was
talking about, and since then
they have gasped when the
professor has added a new
frill to this theory or dis
carded an old one.
They are evidently not
discouraged or disconnected,
when the professor tells
them that even the founda-
ton of his relativity theory
has been found to be unsat-
isfactory and faulty, to say
nothing of the need of re-
modelling the superstructure.
They know that there is
something in this relativity
business if once it can be got
at, and there is no one more
capable of finding it's lair
than DR.. Einstein, the first
to suspect it's existence. A
less sanguine body of men
would hesitate to follow the
professor as he changes from
one point to another. But
what else could be expected
of scientist who is obsessed
with the notion of curved
lines that we thought form
erly were straight.
A curved line, we have
been taught from our youth
is one which changes it's di.
rection at every point. II
curved lines are allowed tc
do that, it is no more thar
right and appropriate that {
similar permission should be
extended to Professor Ems
tein.

THE SARATOGA CUP RACE.

Notwithstanding that Sunbeau had three years advantage over Twenty Grand in age, the colts victory at Saratoga Springs Saturday was probably no surprise to the fans who follow track events with intelligent interest In all of his races Twenty Grand has shown that he is essentially long dis tance runner He usually gets off to slow start, but he invariably comes laundering down the stretch nearly always to pass the string and win the money. On the other hand Sunbeau has shown that there are limitations to his endurance. Last March on the closing day of the Agua Caliente season in the Auga Caliente Handicap the richest race in America (sl4oOOo last March 22), most of the experts regarded Sunbeam sure winner. But there was a ragged start. Sunbeam carried 126 pounds and the horses played around the post for twenty minutes before they got away. Sunbeau led from the scratch until horses in the stretch If the race had been for mile he would have been the victor, but he gave out and Mike Holt and two other horses passed him. He was fourth and the bookes made cleanup. He could not go the mile and quarter after the long struggle to get off The Saratoga Cup race is mile and three quarters.
 Though defeated for the honors Sunbeau is still the greatest winner among horses. His earn ings have passed $356,000.
 Ksar famous French racer, is credited with winning $335 oOO but it is said that figure was arrived at by s counting the French franc at it's theoretical value instead of its actual value. The nearest horse to Sunbeau in real money earnings is Gallant Fox, who only two seasons and was retired to the stud late in his second season when three-year old His winnings were $328,000. Zev the only other horse to win more than $300,0Oo was retired also as a three -year-o He had won twenty-three races and $313000. The greatest win ner among English horses Isinglass He won eleven races and $29l 000

,s'E up

The circumstance that wages are being held uI as well they are during the depression is highly complimentary to organized labor, because there k considerable sentiment in favor of wage reduction in the interest of lower production and transpor tation costs. Lower production and transportation costs, many believe. would induce lower prices ano lower prices would make larger sales and greate consumption. They argue that more employment would follow, the aggregate of the payrolls would be larger and when unemployment is absorbed wages would start the upgrade again.
 On the other hand, those who opposins wage reduction declare that the way to preven the collapse of the buying power of the country is to keep up the wage standard.

Indian Trail.

Seattle -Intelligencer)
 Flying to Asia by the Northern route, Lndbergh and his wife reversed the course which many anthropologiss believe the prehistoric ancestors of the American Indians followed in reaching this continent Boring Strait is only fifty miles wide, and it is believed that inhabitants of Northeastern Asia, accompanied by dogs and equipped with the ability to make fire and stone implements perco- lated that strait and became the founders of the Indian culture.
 If this theory correctly pictures the settlement of prehistoric America then the Puget Sound area must have been early stopover point in the racial trek
 It undoubtedly took men much longer to learn to make fire and to domesticate the dog than it did for him to learn to make and operate airplanes after he had mastered these earlier arts.

WAGE REDUCTIONS NOT NUMEROUS

Wages affecting 2lO,O00 workingmen were cut on an average of 10 per cent. from the high point of 1929 during the month of July, according to official statistics. However, the official sta tistics show that living cost has been reduced more than 30 per cent. since July, 1929. The employed workers are still better off measured by pur- chasing power, by lot than they were at that time.
 The great difficulty with this year compared with 1929 is that several millions who were on payros in 1929 are now unemployed.

 The hard luck of Europe seems to be the gooc luck of Canada American tourist traffic to Europe has fallen amazingly this summer There isn't as much money floating around loose this year as there has been in years past, and Europe isn't getting her full quota of tourists. Transatlantic steamer lines have slashed their fares, but even SC are losing money with monotonous regularity
 But Canada is doing better in the tourist trade than before. Evidently citizens of the United States who would have gone to Europe if times were better going to Canada instead; and one only say that they will get their moneys worth no matter what part of the Dominion they choose to visit.
 Heavy Canadas tourist traffic is, however, it is only a starter. Its vacation spots innumer- able In few years the rush of tourists in 1881 will look like insignificant driblet For the vacation seeker Canada has "it" in a big way
