WORK ON
OVERPASS
STARTED

The overpass on the Coolid ge-
Florence highway was begun Tues
day, with the Tiffany Construc. icn
Co. of Phoenix having the contrH CT.
The bid was 54,OO1.65, and 80
days will be consumed in the build
ing of this structure. River gravel
will be used in the construction
and it will be steel posts rest nG
on concrete abutments. The eleva-
tion will be 27 feet at the highest
point, and the approaches are ave
hundred feed lons on either side of
the track. John Black is Supelin-
tendent of the job and IL. l.. Roy
den is construction foreman. Forty
local men are to be used at all
points possible, announces lie
management
During the construction of the
over-pass, detour will be mcde
around the site by way of the
Christensen ranch. Cross tie
railroad at the end of Main street
toward the north, go one half mi;e
east and turn north to highway.
The construction of the over-pass
at this much needed place will br-
ing to an end a series of fatal C
cidents that have shocked the peo-
pie of Coolidge and the state for
number of years. 1t is to be hoped
that similar over-passes will be
built at other much needed places
in the vicinity of Coolidge. he
most necessary one right now is the
one at the railroad crossing on Coo.
lidge Ave. This would have to be
an underpass, and would put all
end to such tragedies as have oc-
Cured the past few years at thi,
crossing.

Dairy Farmers
Make Step Ahead d

What a farm expert declares to
be 'the most progressive action by
dairy farmers in this state since
the turn of the century" recently
occurred in New York, with the
formation of the Metropolitan Co
operative Milk Producers Bargain
ing Agency. The agency was or
ganized at a meeting of representa-
ives of 90 New York state milk mar
keting cooperative associations in
cluding the Dairymen's League, Mu-
tual Diaries, etc.
The purpose of the agency is to
combine the efforts of various mar
keting cooperatives, and to give
them a bargaining organization
which can fairly represent the
farmers interest.
This marks progressive ana
natural step in the evolution of the
marketing cooperative movement.
1t is being watched by farm groups
in other states, and may establish
a precedent that will be widely fol-
lowed

Small Profits To
Big Corporations

NEW YORK QPS)-The Twen-
tieth Century Fund has blasted the
theory that just because a corpora
ton is big one it makes huge
profits.
After two years, economists who
studied the issue report that it is,
instead, the smaller concerns which
have the greatest profits and losses.
The economists selected for one
phase of their study SO corporations
formed before 1904, each with a
capital of $4,000, 900 or more. They
found that only 45 of the corpora
tions yielded any profits at all 10
their stockholders while the profits
made by the remaining 48 did net
offset the losses of the other As.
Only 16 out of the SO corporations
paid dividends running as high as
7 per cent and only % paid 5 per
cent.
The bigger the business, the
smaller the profit, the researchers
found. Thus the corporations when
had more than $50, 900, 900 in assets
and which made profits in 1888 had
only AT per cent return on those
assets. On the other hand, corp ra.
tions with assets of $4,000 or less
reported an S.6 per cent return.

Agricultural
Conservation
Association

The Pinal County Agricultural
Conservation association has been
requested by the state office to sub.
nit its recommendation for the 1888
agricultural conservation program,
it was announced by K K Henne. =.
County Agricultural agent.
With the payments under the 1896
program completed and the work
sheets and applications for range
appraisals completed for the 1897
program, the Western Division is
turning it's attention within the
next month to the formulation cf
the 1888 agricultural conservation
program
With the background of expeI j.
ence obtained in the last year ard
a half, it is expected that county
associations will now be ready tc
make suggested changes to better
adapt the program to their counties
From the suggestion submitted by
the county associations, the st tie
committee will formulate their reco-
mendations and these will be for
warded TO Washington immediate
ly TO be embodied in the new pro-
gram.
County associations have be- r
asked to consider especially sIch
matters as the classification OF
farms, the establishment of bases,
the practices which have been most
effective, and administrative probl-
ems.

Economic Highlights

IHc OutiOOh- -
curiously mixed. On the unfavor
able side, the strike situation grows
steadily more tense, even as indi-
vidual strikes are growing more
bloody and embittered, and troubles
such as those now being experieuc-
ed by the independent steel COM
panies may be felt in other im-
portant industries before the years
end. On top of this, Congress Is
considering or about to consider
number of legislative proposals.
ranging all the way from a new and
more stringent "NRA" to certain
of a gigantic, Federally-owned SUI
perpower system-which are an
athena to all business leaders. And
there is a good chance that taxes
will be materially increased for
1898.
Even so, the strength OF the re-
covery movement-expres in
rising incomes, and an almost in
satiable public desire for COM
modities of all kinds-is so great
that practically all OF the establish
ed forecasting service are bul'ish
Thus, in recent weeks, the Alex
ander Hamilton service has said.
"The world is in the boom phase
of the business cycle" Babson be
lieves that gains over a year ago
should continue to be well main-
tanned" Brookmire anticipates that
renewed recovery should follow
the summer lull." Colonel Ayres
sees mo reason TO fear that any
serious BUSINESS recession is I'M
pending" Gibson says: mo major
decline is in prospect for the sum-
mer months" Poor's foresees some
recession during the near term
but nothing severe. Summing up
opinion, United States Business
Service observes that present indi-
cations point to a moderate letd Iwn
in activity over the next few
months, although business in the
aggregate should hold above a
year ago"
So far as specific elements in
the industrial picture are concern
ed, the commentators agree fairly
well. Most of them think that bond
prices will be either stabilized at
current levels, or may go down
slightly due to higher interest rates.
Stocks are definitely irregular, with
the recent trend downward, but
neither material advances nor re-
cessions are anticipated. There
will be little variance in commodity
prices generally during the next
few months, with a possible rise
coming in the fall. Summer trade
in all lines, seasonal factors con-
sidered, will be good, and better
than in 1886. Foreign trade shou d
start upward, but it will be a long
time before pre-depression levels
are again reached. A war in Europe
would revolutionize the outlook in
this field, but few believe that any
of the major powers are sufficiently
confident to risk war as yet--tlel
are simply bluffing and stalllng.
For most industries, the earn
ings outlook is good-though no.
where near as good as the produc
ton outlook. Some of the largest
industries-of which the railroads
are a case in point-are doing :
greatly increased volume OF busi
ness with extremely small increases
in earnings, due to higher taxes
higher wages, etc. However
practically all industry has em-rg
ed form the "edict period" and i!
