GOOD ROADS IN ARIZONA
From an economic standpoint, r.o problem Is of great
. 1 -e'
er importance to Arizona than that of good roads. Sale
and smooth rural highways are the key to the State's"!
industrial and commercial prosperity.
Arizona has a land area of 113,810 square miles. This
ast torritory is at present traversed by only 3.9S7 miles
of roads. This mileage can be assumed to furnish com--munication
of sorts between populated districts but the
'quality of the reads is a subject for immediate and pains
taking attention. The situation 'will Le brought before
'tho, public prominently 'on the occasion of the El Paso
5?fioenix race.
It is futile to hark back to the fafitfre recorded
tigafnst those responsible for road work in 'the -past:
to -lament the moneys misspent 'and the time wasted
pn labors that must be repeated, let us fpel assured,
to more lasting ends. Means are now available which
if taken advantage of by an honest and efficient admin
islratlon, will make impossible the miserable failures
of the "past. The science of road-building his made re
markable progress within a few years and there will
1e no escuso for ignorance on a tubjectjbu which a
wealth of Information and available advice are to be
had for the asking.
I Arizona lias provided about' four "hundred thousand
dollars for use in state high-vay building this year
This is not a large sum In proportion to highway needs
but it will go a long way toward making a sta'ft In per
" manent improvement if bpent intelligently.
Taxpayers' money squandered In the past must be put
flown to the loss account but some entry concerning it
must be reflected on the profit ledsor. It is up to the
present administration whether this entry can bn thu
recorded under the heading of experience. The tax
payers can be depended upon to pass judgment and it
is eqaally certain that they will return sweeping Indict

The citizens of Arizona can be of ImmeasureaWe as

ests of the general public.
The Senate Committee is more generous In its at
titude and quite frank in its announcement that it seeks
all possible lisQt on the subject It especially Invites the
views of country bankers, stating it has no positive
knowedge of their views. Not content with the Houso
method of settling the matter first and, then' inviting
bankers In to hear the verdict, the Senate Committee
means to hear the bankers and then determine the verdict
in the Heat of information thus acquired. Country bank,
'lira will be summoned in largo numbers to tell theli
story, and it will occasion no surprise if they manifest
a feeling 'of bewilderment rather than determined
friendship or hostility toward the proposed law.
For this reason, it i3 all-Important that country bank

House of simply recording on the statute book what
the President wills. It purposes to record its own
honest and deliberate conclusions reached by firstt hand

the information which the Senate is honestly seeking.
THE COUNTRYrBANKER'S TURN
With the dominant party and tho logical leader of
the minority the, ranking Republican member of the
banking committee in substantial harmony, th passage
or the Currency BUI through the House without altera
tion seems practically assured. Presluent Wilson's grip
or. the lower branch is positive and even the radicals
and conservatives in his party hayo responded to his
guiding pressure. They have been cenvirxed that the
new measure will look attractive to the majority of their
edifctltuenU. The persuasive powers of the White House
seem to possess the potency of an irresistible charm.
Not alouc with those of his own political cloth has
the Preslden prosecuted his labors successfully. Somo
MR BRYAN'S TRAVESTY
If correctly quoted in the interview telegraphed frow
PhoenUville. Ta., Mr. Bryan Is smarting under criti
cism of his Chautauqua diversions from ills official du
ties as secretary of state. And it Is equally clear that
the smart is not caused by any American criticisms, but
by those of the foreign cewsjapers. Appparcntly, the
secretary doesn't care what Americans think, or may bo
led to think, of their highest cabinet official traveling
about the -country delivering paid lectures "The domestic
newspapers that havo attacked me are all of the Tory
stripe," ho is represented as sajing. "Such attacks arc
to be expected. There are reasons for those attacks."
There are reasons. Chief among these reasons is
that Mr. Bryan is under no financial necessity, according
to the statement he himself has made of his affairs, to
do the thing for which he is being criticised. Since
he ha3 filed ah !nentory, we know him to be tho pos
sessor of nearly J200.OOO of capital. Though he does
not say so, it must be presumed that the most if not
all of this capital, is Invested in remunerative ways.
Mr. Bryan Is plairly, too thrifty a person to allow his
money to remain unproductive. Out of cither the prin
cipal or the accruing interest upon it, cr out of both
If needed, he should draw the difference betwetm his to
tal expenses and his total official income, if there be
any, and save his country the humiliation of Its premier
cablffet minister traveling the kerosene routes. Let
him not deludge himself with the' notion that he is the
only American who feels the sting or this foreign scorn.
There are multitudes of vicarious sufferers for his offense.
What he scemei to resent most at Phoenixville, was
lhe foreign claim that his conduct does not comr-ort
with the dignities t diplomacy "What right have they to
declare that I am making a travesty or diplomacy?" he
asked. '"They do not stop to Investigate." It is not
necessary to push investigation farther than the diction
ary to find what a travesty is, and we can find no defi
nition of the word which does not fit well the case of a
minister fn charge of foreign affairs of a great nation
making itineraries for filling dates at entertainments with
programs including the performance of many mounte
banks. Mr. Bryan insists that he Is separate and apart
from all these. Nobody will deny that in rank, and
In 'attainment he Is sul generis among the others trav
eling these routes for profit There is no sort of clan
ship between him and the Juggler, for nobody would

travesty of oratory but of diplomacy.
BUSINESS METHODS
WILL BE CH
BY PANAMA CANAL
English Professor of Finance
Predicts That Countries Us
ing It Will Work Together
in Better Harmony.
BIRMINGHAM, Erife.. Sept 17.
Speaking on "Somo of the Economic
Effects of the Panama Canal,' Prof. A
W. Klrkaidy told the "British Associa
tion at its session today that such
effects could be easily exaggerated
'So far as tho outside world is con
cerned," he said, "the greatest effect
of the opening of the canal will prob-
aDiy be to get commerce and trade out
of the grooves and cause an all-round
modernization of business methods.
The old will have to bo scrapped,
friction among tho factors of produc
tion will have to be eliminated, capital
an'd labor In competing countries will
hac to lern to work harmoniously
together. Socially and economically
thU will effect a very great result. Is
it what America dreamed of when sne
entered upon this stupendous under
takings?"
M r. Klrkaidy is Professor of Finance
aQlrblngham University and a rec
ognized autnority on economic que
tlons. In his address today ho treated
his subject under the two general
heads of local effects and fcffects on
world-trade. From tho industrial
point of view, he said, three questions
arose: who shall supply certain mar
kets; who shall perform the service
of transport, and what routes shall
shipping take The principal factors
on tno route; freights and the possibil
ity of continuous freight-earning;
fuel stations; insurance rates; the po
litical factor; rates of exchange; in
vestments of capital and banking fa
duties; the human factoid manufac
turing and, commercial ability, exi-erl
enece of trade and markets, and pre3
ent possession
"The canal," he said, "will add enor
mously to the commercial facilities b
tween the various regions of the Amer
lean continent and the adjacent is
lands, hence important developments
may be expected. Tho West India Is
lands will enter upon a new per'od
of prosperity, especially nhen the in
ternal combustion engine takes tho
place of steam and oil replaces coal

and thus assist the development of
local Industries, especially the export
of raw material The coniparauei
unprogresslve states of Central and
South America will undergo immigra
tlon-of Europeans and increase trade
These local benefits will be tho chief
and ample, justification for the eon
struction of the canal.',
Of the effect on world trade, he" con
tlmipa "America realizes tho Import
ance of the coal trade to the United
Kingdom, there will be a strenuous
atJnmrt to dlsnlace British coal
throughout the world In order to give
American shipping the advantages a.

'eaded steamer goes via the Horn to
pick up cargo at ports like Monte
Video. The canal would not attract
these ships. When Panama is open
will all-round-the-world service be or
ganized? Great Britain is ia a better
position to do this than any other
country? Tho rumors current recently
that an existing shipping combine was
trving to arrange an anJalgamatlon '
with ore of the oldest Far Eastern'
snipping companies were probably due
to tho hope of being able to com
mence such a service, having some of
the chief trades of the world zs trib
utaries, from the moment that Pana-'
ma is available. America hopes to
open up new markets, e. g., wool This
now concentptes at London, but there
is a tendeno towards decentraliza
tion, ind if America develops fie
woolen industry, she will get a wool
nnrket without necessarily construct
ing a Panama canal.
