PHOENIX, ARZ, SEPT. 6, 1909
THE SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.

THE SCHOOL BOND ELECTION.
 Although it is probable that there will be no opposition to the school bond proposition at the election on Saturday. the 18th of this month. the qualified voters of the district should. nevertheless. take enough active in- terest in the matter to cast a large vote for the bonds.
 In the call for the election issued by the grammar school board it is proposed to issue bonds to the amount of s125,000. The proceeds of the bonds will be used for the purchase of five sites and the construction of three school buildings. The two additional sites are to be purchased now, for use hereafter-when the Central school building and grounds shall have been sold
 The new buildings proposed are im- peratively needed. The schools are crowded now to an unsanitary degree, and the situation will be little, if in any degree. relieved by using the five additional rooms already rented for the coming year The school census of last spring showed an increase of more than 300 school children over the previous year. If for any reason the bond proposition should unfortunately fail. the certain result will be that large numbers of children cannot find accommodation.
 As to the purchase of two extra sites for use within the next few years, it is a plan that is called for by every consideration of business prudence. At the present rapid rate of building it will not be long until all available blocks have houses upon them. Then in order to secure suit able sites it would cost many thou sands of dollars extra to buy these sites. and the buildings on them would have to be demolished. The city could not make a better invest ment, therefore. than to buy two va cant blocks.
 Within three or four years a large sum can be realized from the sale of the Central block, and funds will thus be available for the construction of ,u-o Splandid naU hufldinPS-which certainly will be needed by that time.

 While unable to ascertain definitely whether the last of the screw worms have been removed pr. Wiley is of the opinion that their ravages have been effectually checked, and that the pa tient has a good chance for recovery.

hood. If two new states are created next winter, thirteen instead of twelve will be required to prevent the ratifica- ton of the income tax constitutional amendment by the state legislatures It is assumed that Arizona and New Mexico both would vote for the income tax"
 Senator Aldrich, who is bitterly op- posed to an income tax. calculates, we understand. that he can count upon twelve states to vote against the pro- enough to defeat it. Were Arizona and New Mexico members of the Un.on, it would then require thirteen stas@, in opposition to defeat the amendment.
 If, therefore, Senator Aldrich and those who stand with him against an income tax believe that the two terri tories would. when admitted, add their votes for the constitutional amend ment, it is easy to understand why he may oppose admission.
 But who is authorized to say that either of the proposed new states would be for the income tax? The Republican confesses its inability to predict what attitude Arizona would take, and we don't believe anybody is qualified to say.
 Now is a good time for caution and an avoidance of loose expressions about what Arizona may or may not do in the matter of the income tax amendment Nobody knows what the people now think of the proposed amendment, and nobody knows what they may think of it after they have carefully considered it. It is worthy of note that the legislature of Georgia thought it unwise to rush pellmell in to the income tax band wagon; they wished to consider a while whether it would not be well for the state to reserve the right to use an income tax for the benefit of the state itself, rather than surrender the privilege to Uncle Sam Possibly Arizona may do likewise At any rate it is premature for anybody to offer promises or pre- dictions in the premises.
