BY SEGREGATION
After Brief Delay, Building In
Phoenix Given Sudden Impetus
W. C. T. TJ. President
Shocked at Suggestion
Insists Men, Too, Should
Be Placed In "Red Light"
District
Declaring that a segregated distrltct
will not correct the social evil, Mrs.
Imogene La Chance, president of the
"VV. C. T. U., said yesterday that uch
a recommendation. In her. opinion, was
as logical as the segregation of mur
derer and thieves with permission to
V'J uieir imug u. ji uict i iuh s'"s under
crime,
Mrs. La Chance, who has been at
the head of the state union for a num
ber of years. Is recognized as on of
the lead In reformers of Arizona. She
was ono of the many who attended the
mass meeting Sunday afternoon when
moral conditions of the city were dis
cussed. ,-I was gratified at some of the state
ments made by Judge Stanford, but
greatly shocked when he recommended
a segregated district for the scarlet
woman," said Mrs. La Chance in f peak
ing of the address by Judge Stanford,
the principal speaker Of the afternoon.
"Woman cannot carry on this evil
alone. How about the man Shall be
be free to go and come, to ruin our
girls and demoralize o ir young men?
Shall we banish the ruined Kirls to
the red light district while the men go
free? Hod lorbld."
"Cannot Rtgulate Evil"
'Mrs. La Chance believes that If such
a district be establfshcd the men should
bo segregated also.
"If our boys go wrong, do we want
them segregated or placd beyond the
pale of decency? Yet we would put our
girla away beyond all hope either in
this world of the next,"
Evils cannot be regulated but must
be starnpted out, according to Mrs. La
Chance.
"The segregated or red light district
will not prevent procurers and proc
uress from plying, their frade. Shall
we give the white slave traffic protec
tion and regulate and foster an evil
that God expects us to wipe out. It
must not b regulated or licensed. It
must be stamped out anil tba AW C. T.

standard of white lifo for man as well

In the constitution of our land."
o
P.uilding in Phoenix received a sud
on imwtu yesterday when 13 per
mits were granted at the office of the
city building inspector. This is the
largest number of permits issued in a
single day for several montns. in
commenting upon the signs or re
newed building activity, U. u. -Martin,
Inspector, said: '
"With prices of lumber and other
building materials falling, there is
e-ery reason to believe that an exten
sive program of constructive work will
be started In Phoenix Immediately.
There in no reason for the prospective
builder to wait longer. Prices have
become fairly stabilized and, there Is a
pressing demand for homes and busi
ness buildings here."
This view is shared by local archi
tects, who expressed confidence that
construction work Iiere had suffered
only temporary stagnation. The city's
reconstruction program, they pointed
out, gained considerable momentum
high price 'level last year and
was in run blast wnen the shutdown
came, leaving much proposed work un
finished. -
Mr. Martin called attention to recent
statistics which show that the nation
Is today more than $4. 000, 000, 000 under
built and that In order to meet this
deficit an Intensive building campaign
must be carried on for the next 26
months. He estimated that at the
present time Phoenix was demanding;
at least 500 new homes in addition to
new buildings in which to house the
business of the city.
Conditions, generally, are favorable
to Increased activity rather than to
curtailment, the architects pointed out.
saying that a resumption of the broad
construction program, initiated early
last year, can be expected almost any
time.
Financial conditions alone are r?
i sponsible for present conditions in
building circles, it was stated. A slight
improvement in flnancl.il circles has
been noted within the past ten days,
this improvement undoubtedly being
partially responsible for the slight in
crease in activity here. There is every
rison to believe that once financial
conditions resume normal, the con
struction program wll; go forward at
a pace that surpasses anything here
tofore in the city's history.
Coots of bnlldlng materials are ap
proximately 23 per cent lower now than
a year ago' and the tendency of the
market Is downward, they pointed out.
Another Important factor is the labor
situation. Iabor Is far more plentiful
now than at any time last year. Dur
Ing the rush last year labor was at a
premium, with few men to be had at
any price.

of construction work will be done in

nancial conditions resume anything ap
proximating normal," one o'f the archi

that Thursday. Jan. 27, will witness a
carnival of values In the various stores
of Phoente which never before have

Just what the buying power of a dollar
will be In Phoenix on Suburban day,
but it will undoubtedly be several times
greater than It was a year ago or even
a few weeks ago.
Realizing that the cotton situation
has prevented the growers from buying
normally, the merchants have gone
much further In their endeavors to per
mit the farmers to provide for their
needs than seemn compatible with
what Is generally accepted as good
merchandising. These endeavors, how
ever, are thoroughly appreciated by the
dwellers In the rural districts, and
many dollars which formerly went to
the mail order houses are now coming
Into the business houses of Phoenix.
