REGISTRATION EXCEEDS
THE PREVIOUS YEARS

The Coolidge precinct is run
ming heavy in it's registration of
voters, and is now in excess Of
the 1880 registration at general
election time by more than $50.
This excess is due to the thor
ough canvassing of the entire
precinct by Mrs. James Luthy,
deputy registration officer, who
reports 493 registered by her,
All of whom are registered
democrats, 80, republican and
one independent. Judge W. A.
Thompson has registered 127,
all democrats except two, Thus
the entire precinct registration
to date totals CPL, as against
47O in November 1880.

ARE THE RAILROADS DOOMED

People who say the railroad
has outlived it's usefulness and
must now make way for the
truck might well ponder over
the statements of Professor VIM
q. Ripley of Harvard University
who said in a recent article In
the Los Angeles Times that
6,250,000 fve-ton trucks would
be required to move the traffic
now handled by railways of the
United States.
Such a fleet of trucks, says
Professor Ripley, would form a
solid column 10000 miles long
or a procession ten trucks wide,
with trucks fender to fender,
reaching from New York to San
Francisco.
1t is unbelievable that county
state and federal govern
ments could afford to construct
and maintain, at expense to the
taxpayer, the additional tens of
thousands of miles of improved
highway which such truck traf-
fic would require. Even were
this possible it is the opinion of
Professor Ripley that ''veritable
chaos would ensue were the
nation forced to rely upon the
highways alone for commercial
intercourse"
Railroads given either reason
ably free rein, or protected from
unregulated and government
subsidized competitor, can quick
ly adapt themselves to modern
conditions, coordinate truck
and bus with the rails, and pro-
vide a service to the public un-
excelled in economy, conven-
ience and speed.
Whatever arguments may be
advanced in favor of the truck,
railways remain and will con-
tinue to be the single vital fac
tor in our national transporta-
tion system.

FEDERAL AID PROJECT
OPENED BIDS JULY 29

Call for bids for construction
on Federal Aid Projects No.-84
B. and GA. will be opened
July, 20.
The work on Sab starts on
Congress Junction and extends
to the comfy line about twelve
and one half miles.
This strip of road when COM
pleted will bring up to Federal
Aid standard for oiling the en-
tire road between Phoenix and
Congress Junction. The dips
will be entirely eliminated by
bridges and culverts and some
re-alignment will be necessary.
The oiling of this section is in
cluded in the emergency budget.
On F. A. 97-A, Mesa-Casa
Grande Ruins highway, the
work will begin at the end of
the pavement south of Chand-
ler and extends about ten and a
quarter miles south and east to
connect with the present oiled
road in the Sacaton Indian
Reservation.
This work eliminates two
railroad crossings on the main
line of the Southern Pacific,
keeping the road on the south
and west side of the tracks for
it's entire distance.
This will complete the Fed
eral Aid between Phoenix and
Tucson. When oiled it will af-
ford a dustless road between
these two points.
The present contract on both
of these projects calls for grad
ing, draining and placing of sub
grade stabilizer for the entire
distance and the completion
date in both cases is December,
Is. 1882.

Bayonets Break Siege Of
Ex-Service Men At
Capital After Bit
ter Fighting

Early today the militant
"bonus army" at Washington,
was forced out of it's miserable
novels by the U. S. Cavalry
and Infantry soldiers with tear
gas bombs and bayonets and
some shooting, without which
the officials were powerless to
make the squatters move.
Scores were hurt and one man
killed in the bitter fighting that
ensued. These hords of men
descended on Washington a few
weeks ago to demand the full
payment of their bonus at this
time. The women and children
were given time to move several
hours before, the federal troops
took charge. The camps were
asarned and the fiimsy village
destroyed. 1t is stated the
government would have been
threatened had not President
Hoover ordered the "Bonus

POINTS TO RECORD AS
BUSINESS WOMAN IN
PINAL COUNTY

Asking no favors because she
is a woman, and making no con-
cessions to her three masculine
opponents on that score either,
Mrs. Esta L. Bayless, perhaps
better known in Pinal county as
Mrs. Earl D. Bayless, this week
tossed her trim little bonnet in
to the ring where already are
scattered the sombreros of sew
eral seekers for the Office of coun-
ty recorder, and voiced her de-
termination to wage a vigor
Gus campaign for the position.
Competition with the sterner
sex is nothing new to this charm
ing and efficient business wo-
man. After the death of her
husband in 1929, she was for
more than two years the only
woman automobile dealer in
the state as she carried on the
Chevrolet agency in Casa
Grande. Her business activi-
ties are well known in this sec
tion since she has been a resi-
dent and taxpayer of Pinal Co.
for IA years. Shewas in busi-
ness in Casa Grande, a major
portion of the time with her
late husband, from 1921 until
1881, and has more recently
been in charge of the water dis
tributing service of the San Car
los irrigation project in Casa
Grande.
The work of recording will
not be new to her, for aside
from her experience in this sort
of business in neI own enter
prises, she was for more than
two years record clerk in a state
institution in Ohio after COM
pleting her business training in
the commercial department of
Ohio University.
With my business and cleri-
cal experience, which includes
Notary Public work for several
years, l feel confident of hav-
lug ample qualifications for the
office to which | am seeking
election, and if elected, pledge
myself unequivocally to econom-
ical, efficient, and courteous
service to the taxpayers and
residents of Pinal county," Mrs
Bayless said in a statement in
regard to her candidacy.

Trend Away From Panic.

away from panic psychology, a sub

100000 of good, sound amortized mort

its cash account to the extent of ST.

any one believe that such a bank would
tie up for 10 to 20 years the sum Of
$4,000, 900 in order to borrow 60 per
cent or so per cent Of the value Of the
property mortgaged?
while I am opposed to this bill, I
am in favor of a genuine, permanent
mortgage bank that will pay its own
expenses and make a profit without
increasing the rate of interest charged
by the great life insurance companies.
Such a bank would not compete un-
justly with the large, substantial life
insurance companies"
The bill provides for mortgage loans
as high as $4,000. Mr.. Oakman urged
that this be reduced to $500, and Mr..
Friedlander thought that maximum
of $4,000 would be better than $4,000.

HOME OWNERSHIP
HELD THRIFT SYMBOL
Sears-Roebuck Official Says Many
Have Taken Advantage of
Break in Prices.

Home ownership Is described by a
home construction leader as a con-
vincing symbol of thrift that has stood
out in sharp relief during the economic
depression Of the past two years.
In a statement yesterday to the Ma
tional Thrift Committee on the occa-
sion of "Own Your Own Home day" of
national thrift week, Harvey l.. Harris,
general manager of the home construc-
ton division Of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
declared:
"The home owner as class has been
able to weather the economic storm
better than others, because of the fact
Of his home ownership and because of
the habits of thrift, which such home
ownership usually involves.
He has not only been prepared by
habit, In the generality of cases, to
budget his living expenses more intelli-
gently, but with the credit background
which home ownership supplies, he has
been able to take prompt advantage
of opportunities offered by the break in
commodity prices.
This has had its application. also,
to thousands who because 0f habits of
thrift have been able to take advantage

obtain needed financing. From this
the taxpayer, and particularly the
home owner, will profit. When alls
said and done, you must save or you
can't have.
Relief Moves Forward.
President Hoover's economic relief
program has moved forward with ex-
ceptional speed and steadtness in
none too friendly Congress. The
$4,000, 100000 reconstruction finance
act, which will unleash millions OF
dollars of frozen assets through re-
financing of securities, is about ready
to function. Measures for farm bank
relief and to broaden the redtscount
facilities of the Federal Reserve banks
seem assured of early enactment.
Another measure providing $150,000,00
for the relief of depositors in sus-
pended banks is assured of early enact
ment.
"a distinct gain in the effort to
bring labor costs into line with de-
1ated commodity prices is decidedly
hopeful factor, to which labor itself Is
service. Acceptance by the railroad
brotherhoods of reduction in wages
now seems assured and will be nota-
BILE step in this direction.
Building and loan shares do not
rise and fall with fluctuating market.
The dividends declared may be higher
or lower, dependent upon business con-
ditions at the time, but the principal
Is always safe. Building activity is
still below normal, but with the up
ward swing expected in 1882 and a
return to some degree of prosperity, 1t
is hoped that there will be renewed
activity in the field of small home
building, creating greater volume of
small mortgage loans and increased
business for building and loan asso-
Citations"
