Editorial on Bonds and Roads From Forrest to Gleeson
The Douglas International and The Prospector urge passing the Taxpayers Association bond to build the Forrest to Gleeson road, warning that defeating both hampers Cochise county’s good roads movement. They back Warren District’s demand and state-wide progress. The piece comments on prohibition jokes, local politics, and a three-way plan for bootlegger labor on city streets, plus rain hopes for Cochise farmers and cattlemen. It highlights copper industry notes, Easter bonnet timing, and a new three-volume Arizona history by Colonel James H. McClinton with rich Tombstone pioneer content.
