RESULTS OF OUR
RAILROAD POLICY

Few people have any definite
realization OF what hard times
and an inequitable railroad
pol ey have done, from the
practical standpoint, to our rail
systems.
In 1888, there was more aban-
donment of railway mileage in
this coun ry than in any year
in history. Thousands OF miles
OF line were dropped, because
the railroads. faced by mount
ing costs and decreasing busi-
ness, could no onger pay the
bill. The larger percentage Of
the abandonment was in west
ern territory, and consisted Of
branch. or feeder" lines, which
connected outlying territory
with transcontinental railroads.
Those lines played a great
part in the development Of
western America. They were
the direct means OF bringing
people to unpopulated territory
people who established towns,
built factories and developed
farms. Without railroad serv-
ice, they could not have done
that, they would have had no
way OF disposing OF their pro-
duce. Now, with the lines
abandoned, many OF them are
again cut off from civilization,
so far as commerce is concern
ed.
Iron-handed regulation and
excessive taxation have been
the lot Of the railroads, while
their competitors, who cannot
offer service that is remotely
comparable in scope or necessity
are half regulated, and are even
subsidized by government. We
are seeing the results OF that
policy now, and the entire pub
lie is paying for it.

A HOME FOR FEEBLE
MINDED CHILDREN

l movement ls officially un-
der way which is expected TO
bring TO a successful conclusion
the plan inaugurated in 1927 TO
provide a home for AIlzona's
fe,ble-mindcd children. The
Arizona. State Board OF Edu-
cation in It's regular quar-
terly meeting during the past
week. adopted a resolution ask
ing the 18th legislature to make
an appropriation for a building
program TO be carried out on
the Arizona Chlldrens' Colony
site south Of Mesa.
For many years persistent
workers sought to have such a
state institution established,
but not until 1927. when the
Eighth Legislature passed
measure introduced in the
House By Mrs. Nellie T. Bush
OF Yuma Co. making the presi-
dent OF the Tempe Teachers
College the head OF the children
institution and placing the
colony under the supervision Of
the State Board OF Education.
did il become a reality.
10 1929, the law was amended
by the Ninth Legislature, re-
lieving the president of the
Teachers College from his re-
sponsibility and severing all
connection between the colony
and the college. An appropria-
ton OF $4,000 was made for
the purchase OF a building site.
This measure was approved by
Governor John G. Phillips, on
March 10, 1929. The site. con-
slsting OF Il acres, known as
the Mcqueen Ranch, located a
mile and half south OF Mesa
on the Gilbert road. was pur-
chased from J w. Clark In
December of that year. for S2l,-
200 improvements, bringing
the total cost to $23, 100 were
made, and the remainder of the
appropriation reverted to the
general fund OF the state. Since
that time the land has been
continuously under lease and
has brought 10 the state &c.
23S 80, or about one-fourth OF
its cost, In rentals.
The lack OF facilities in the
state for its unfortunate child
rem has been felt for many years
and the State Board of Educa-
ton went on record favoring an
appropriation by the incoming
legislature to provide necessary
buildings for the institution.
No specific sum was named by
the board for the purpose.

SAFETY AND UNI
FORM TRAFFIC LAWS

National uniformity of traffic
laws and ordinances may come
much nearer reality if plans of
the American Association of
Motor Vehicle Administrators
prove successful. To promote
the use of model traffic stand
ards established by the Nation
al Conference on Street and
Highway Safety and sponsored
by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, the Associa-
tion has determined to ask the
legislatures Of A states conven-
ing this winter to thoroughly
review their existing motor
vehicle codes. This suggestion
is significant because the Associ-
atoms membership is composed
of the chief officers Of the motor
vehicle departments of as states
the District Of Columbia and
all the Canadian provinces.
At its annual meeting in Chi
cago. October 10 and IL, the
Association will recommend
drastic changes in the require
meuts for bus and truck regis
tration. The adoption of inn
proved standards for drivers,
license laws, state motor vehicle
inspection campaigns and fnan-
cial responsibility statutes will
also be urged.
No state can be credited with
perfect motor vehicle legisla ion
and the Associations efforts for
improvement have won support
in many places, particularly
among casualty insurance com
panies. According to John J.
Hall, director of the street and
safety division of the
National Bureau OF Casualty
and Surety Underwriters. one OF
the chief benefits to be derived
is improved enforcement.
"A maj ority Of the existing
traffic legislation is weak be
cause many communities are
overburdened with super-annu-
ated rul,s and regulations In
addition, confused state laws
governing requirements for
drivers, for owners, for financial
responsibility and for various
rules of the road, prompts the
average citizen to ask this ques-
ton: If state governments can
not agree, why should |? A
General disregard for all traffic
laws is usually the result, and
inevitably leads to serious acci-
dents" :"

fences. dilapidated cabins and now

doubt he is getting a hearty ovation
from every railway platform and
when he dimes he may enjoy the dell
cious scuppernong wine that flows as
free as water in that section and is
generally drunk from goblet.

President, also will take a hurried
