ELECTION TOMORROW
 ON BOND QUESTION
District Attorney BulIard's Opinion On
 the Qualification of Voters.

Tomorrow, Saturday, September IS. at the Central school building. between the hours of a. m. and D. m. will be held the special school election on the question of whether Phoenix school district No. l shall issue five year. twenty-five per cent bonds. in the sum of $125.000. for the purchase of five school building sites and the erection of three buildings. The need of these added school facilities for both the present and the future is well known to all who are informed in school mat ters. and so far as has been learned there is no opposition to the project That fact makes it all the more desir- able that the qualified friends of the schools should each make it a special order to cast his vote on the question. It has often occurred. and especially in school matters. that unanimity of opin- ion has resulted in the neglect of i'm portant things. each thinking that others will attend to them. and this should not be the case in respect of this bond election. After the bonds are voted they will have to be sold and it is highly desirable that the vote shall show a proper expression of the opin- ion held in the district It will look better for the schools and it will look better to the bond buyers. It will also forestall any possible late charge that the people of the district did not fully express themselves.
 Every qualified voter who can do so without too much personal inconven- fence should be on hand and to that end it is quite timely to know who are qualified voters. To that end the trus- tees have secured an opinion from Dis trict Attorney Bullard the chief para graph is as follows:
 q am of the opinion that any per son, who is a resident of the school district, and who is a tax payer and a citizen of the United States. whether male or female, is entitled to vote at a school bond election. Unless they are such taxpayers even though they may have children of school age. or be the guardian of school-age children. they are not entitled to vote at a school bond election"
 Under this opinion many who are qualified to vote for trustees will not De quallIieu to Note OH 'he oohu queS- ton as voters on the latter issue must be tax payers. Mir. Bullard elsewhere in the opinion also states that the payment of the annual poll tax now known as school tax, is not sufficient to qualify a citizen as that is regarded as merely a per capita tax. Women who pay taxes may vote and members of partnerships or firms which pay taxes may all vote. This a different ruling from the recent bridge elecetion and the opinion so holds from the fact that the bridge election was held under another and special statute.

how the love for Washington made

cause rendered attractive and mag
petic by a leader who even compared
with Jesus Christ In the qualities

service when once we clearly realize
that 1t is for Him that we endure,
then song OF Joy replaces the thought
of self In service. Another important
point is this: Law may compel the
outward life, but 1t cannot conquer
the inner self. That which law can
not do, Joy and praise can readily nc
complish. Fletcher Of Saltoun was
right when he said, Let me write the
songs OF my countrymen, and let who
