 At the request of Professor A K. Stablcr. county attorney Frank II. Lyman has prepared an opinion deai- ing with the qualification rf voters for this election. This opinion off cial in it's character, is as follows:
 The qualifications for voters at an election for school trustees are defin- ed in Paragraph 2176 Of Jhc Revised Statutes oi Arizona. which reads as follows:
Arizona republican., 1912-03-30

Every person male or female. 0t the age of twenty-onc years or over who is d citizen of the United States. and who has been a resident of the district for thirty days immediately preceding the day of election. ani who is the parent or guardian of e, child of school age residing in the district. or who has paid q territorial or county school tax. exclusive of poll tax. during the preceding year. is eligible to election to the cffice of trustee. and shall be entitled to vote at any school district election. rlD- vidid that every woman offering to vote at such election twho IS other wise qualified under this section) ard whose husband or father IS or was a citizen of the United States. shall Do treated and considered as citizen of the United States for the purpose Of voting at such election Any person offering to vote may be challenged Gs any legally qualified elector of the district, and the judges must there upon administer the following Oatn to the person challenged: You d. solemly swear that you are q Ci;i.s I of the nited States and ale now and have been. resident of iht'; school district during the thir5". days preceding this election or that you are the parent or guardian Of q child of school age, in this school district. or, that you have paid in this county q territorial or county school tay during the past year, and that you have not voted at this election. so help you GOdsl If he or she takes the oath prescribed Tn this section. his or her vote must be received, othe, wise ,''. vote must be rejected"
 You especially inquire If a wife not being the parent or guardian of s child of school age. residing within the district is entitled under n. pro- visions of this statute to vote be- cause of the fact that her husban owns anl pays taxes upon property should answer this question in ,he negative. even though proper owned and on which the taxes were paid Gr the husband were community proo- erty Of husband and wife. the hus- band having the sole control of com munity property during the eXistenC of the marriage relation"

SAN DIEGO MEN
 0N THE SCENE
They Are Boosting the Big Show and Are Asking Merely for Cooperation, Urging a Commission to Select Building Site

John A. Fox, commissioner at large
 of the san Diego exposition arrived ] in Phoenix last night and joined the other exposition officials now here in the interest of a join resolution which is tO bc presented to the Ari- zona legislature
 The San Diego exposition officials are desirous of securing participation of Arizona in the great worlds ex-
 position that is to be given in San Diego during the entire year of 1915. and have received assurances of hearty good will on the part of many prominent Arizonans.
 No appropriation is to he asked
 for at this time" said Mir Fox last
 night, but we are anxious that Ari-
 zOna shall secure the best site for its exhibit at San Diego and there
 fore We would like to have a conf mission appointed now to visit san Diego and select this site Our plans are well along and we are now at work on the main buildings for the exposition. The various states may secure locations at any time now Commissioners from several of the states already have visited San Diego, but no definite locations have been made and none will be until Ari- zOna and New Mexico have had their pick, for it is these two new states that San Diego is looking to for grand exhibits"
 MT. Fox will remain in Phoenix for the greater part of next week and then will go to New Orleans where, on April 10th he will deliver an ad- dress before the members of the National Drainage association Mir. Fox has been for years one of the leading opponents of drainage He is director of the National Rivers and Harbors congress and is known throughout the United States.

KING AND PEOPLE.

When the Plain People received their last number of the outlook they sat right down on the rural route and read until the twilight faded. For once the chickens had to go to roost without their modicum of corn. and the cows were not milked until thc Plain People wrot" this letter:
 To Our King and Protector Castle
 on the Hill. oyster Bay:
 We are so humbly glad to receive your words entitled: With Us and Against Us As our dear La Toilette says. we are poor but plain Our fathers and our mothers are doing the best they can to preserve the mcagre income from the little farm and tn :red and 10 clothe our little families of twelve as thou hast taught us Our fathers hope to exchange the roadsters for touring cars if thou canst brt throw d little more soft soap our humble way. We are poor. and our mothers are scanty in dress and need a new opera cloak. We are good people Bryan has said so for sixteen years. but somehow he could not l-ut himself across. But thou. King Khaki. has instructed Us in plain dealing for plain people, and double dealing for our humble and rlain leader. Robert La Toilette
 The King was in the jury room. counting out his money. when four and twenty reporters brought him the message from the people. He dictated an immediate reply. in which he gave another record breaking exhibition of the humble use of the letter "I." Part of the context has been sup pressed and the rest has been man. Gled and is a foul misrepresentation. hut what is left reads:
 In reality the issue is perfectly simple. Do you believe me? If you do you are good people and are with me. If you do not you are against me and are all of you miserable liars.
 Abraham Lincoln believed in me He believed in that truth of the in dividuaps word which has double meaning and the recall as it's twin And he believed that the people had the right to decide for themselves the great fundamental question as to whether their servant
 
 sticking to it. upon the proper solu ton of which depends whether there ! shall or shall not be true social jus tice.
 This is why l have so little respect | for the judges, because go per cent of l them have too much regard for the | truth as laid down by the law of our | fathers. This is all for which I con- tend My dictum is l know, therefore. 1 am right. And l hold to it. And proposed it. I stood for it because thought that I might consider that was already elected. Let me add. IS l have already said. that under no circumstances will refuse or de- tide to accept another nomination."
 When the Plain People heard this new pledge they went about their 'hores with a heart as free as the birds in May. singing humbly to themselves near the little 5000 horse- power steam plouGh.-New York Sun

OLD Ell WAS
 GREAT SUCCESS
High School Actors All Did Themselves Great Credit and Are Deserving of Praise; Music Was An Important Feature

Last evening at the School of Mu- sic the senior class of the high schoo presented the play For Old Eli" be- fcre a large and appreciative audi ence. The parts were so many and so well acted that it is hard to pick the stars. Miss Blanche Lumbeck. in the part of Gwen Hardy the College Widow" was a favOrite with the audi = eHce. This cOquette's teasing scene with Beef Campbell and Jack Lud- low at the beginning of the second act particular joy to the audience. Maurice O'Neill. as Jack Ludlow, made q capital subject for her enchant- ments.
 Miss Ruth Bctts as Helen Beck with, was such charming little lady that Carson's very particular fondness for her would have been natural even if it had not been part of the story. Bernice Smiths work as Alice Fair field is also deserving Of special com ment Her easy natural manner and clear articulation helped to make her part q success.
 or the two leading men it is hard to pick the favorite. Benj. Kimber's work as Dick Carson. was Of the fin est. He was particularly strong in his spirited reply to Walkers accu- sations in the third act But Walkers description of Carson's Run was dra- matic to the breaking point and il was here that John Creighton's pres entation of Captain Walker was at its best
