They are, by no means, paid too much. It is with proper prde boast that teachers receive much larger salaries than paid in the older states.
 Under the present system the distribution of school money there is set aside, a for each district regardless of its actual need of it. This is generous, almost invariably in excess of the districts needs. The popular notion is that this money must be spent somehow in the course of the school in order that the district may start the next one with clean slate The presence of the money and the tendency to. get rid of it at- tract the ever ready agent for the school supply apparatus is indispensable and it is purchased not because the school needs it but because the dis trict has the money. This criticism does not ap- ply to every district, and does apply to the Phoenix district at al where the purchasing of supplies is left wholly with the principal knows what the schools need and where to purchase it on the best terms
 which is slightly guarded the school fund.- the largest of them all It is disbursed with less questioning than any other It is merely turned loose. If the conference shall devise means for the scientific handling of it it will accomplish great deal for the taxpayer.
 In this connection we believe that cooperation between the school trustees organization to be formed and the Marcopa County Non partisan Taxpayers league would bring about a businesslke system for the allotment and expenditure of school money

conferenc. of School rrustee.

It is hoped that there may be full attend of the school trustees of this county at the conference to be held in this city Saturday. This conference is innovation but it is a needed and can hardly fail of good results.
 There better schools than those of Marcopa county for the that the people take a peculiar interest and pride in their schools The people of Salt River Valley community may diff fer seriously and even bitterly about many matters but they will generally be found pulling together for the school
 The conference of the trustees may result in an improvement of the schools. There is not much of a field for cooperation there since each school independent of every other school and de- bends for excellence upon the spirit of it's par ticular community. Still, tthe interchange of ideas may be beneficial to the schools
 But the conference should result in tighten ing of the burden of the taxpayer There is broad field for cooperation. Our schools much more than any other institution county gov ernment. There is taxpayer of any public spirit who would have them cost cent less if the ing were to be effected at the cost of the slightest Ioss of excellence efficiency.
 There is impression though that much money is not spent with the best results. We do not mean that money is wasted on teachers.

Tax Leqislation

The legislature is at last transacting the busi- ness which made it's reassembling in the fourth session. especially desirable the enactment of tax legislation. The principal b Senate Substitute 22, been passed by both houses and awaits only concurrence by the senate in unimportant amendment made before being sent the governor for his approval. The law will have become effective in time be employed in the levy and collection of for the present year.
 The act as passed is not essentially different from the form in which it appeared in the sion Senate Bill P. It then approved by the Marcopa County Non- partisan Tax payers League which however, suggested some changes, the important of which made in the substi- tute.

 Experts to whom the bill in it's present form has been submitted have pronounced it excel lent It provides the means for discovering all property subject to taxation and also provides the means for equalizing value all kinds of property for purposes of taxation far that is humanly possible It is not certainly possible to equalze the value personal property, a fact re- cognized by experts who recommend the aboli- tion far possible of personal property taxa tion
 There remains yet, action Substitute Senate bill g. giving specific powers the commission and creating the state board of equalization. This legislation is proposed under the authority of constitutional amendment ratified by the people fall This legislation is supplementary compile mentary to that already enacted. The bill prac- tcally the same senate bill of the Der which failed of in the last session by lack of time. The substitute has passed the sen- ate and we trust that it's passage by the house will be accomplished with the least delay. It's enact ment, together with that Substitute p will fur nish Arizona with complete taxation machinery as any state possesses.

Borough Made Tco Warm fer Two Suspicious Young Men, Who Leave for Central Village, and Are Arrested Christmas SaIe-Hushes- RoIIinsor Marriage.

About noon Wednesday two strange young men drifted into the borough. During the afternoon they visited sev- eral of the stores and seemed to be sizing things up. Along in the middle of the afternoon the pair went to Tracy's hardware store and bought d box of .22 cal&S~e cartridges
 Toward evening they returned; one stood outside the door while the other went in and purchased a box of 3S clerk, had his suspicious aroused as much by the way the men looked things over as by the peculiar cartridge sale. Later several storekeepers, in ciuding William Johnstone, were noti- fled. Officer Wolfe was also apprised of the facts in the case.
 The lunch room and candy store near the station. conducted by Merton Bugbee in which AIr. Johnstone is in terested, was broken into recently; hence both these men were Interested in this matter. Investigation by the officer proved that the men had en- gagged a room at a boarding house on MatheWson street and had gone to the moving pictures.
 On their way to the show the two men met three other strangers on North Main street and were seen to give them money. These three were later rounded up and put in the lock up. They were found to be tramps and were allowed to depart Thursday morning. The few pennies they re- ceived they spent for food and coffee.
 After the moving picture show was over the two men were refused admis- sion where they had engaged lodging. They tried two other places. but were refused lodging.

WHAT DYsPEPTlcs SHOULD EAT
A Physieian's Advice.

Indigestion and practically all | forms of stomach trouble are. nino times out of ten, due to acidity; therefore stomach sufferers should, whenever possible, avoid eating food ! that is acid in it's nature, or which by chemical action in the stomach develops acidity Unfortunately, such 8 rule eliminates most foods which are pleasant to the taste as well as those which are rich in blood, flesh and nerve building properties. This is the req son why dyspepticS and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, enaCiated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from a well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existence on gluten products, I would suggest that you should try meal of any food or foods which you may like. in mod crate amount. taking iLnme edlately af rewards a teaspoonful of bisurated
 nagnesia in a little hot or~coId water This will neutralize any acid which may be present. or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feel ina of uneasiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees witt you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is doubtless the best food corrective and antaCtd known. It has no direct ac- ton on the stomach; but by neutra- Iizing the acidity of the food con tents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which infimes the lizing the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which infanes the deli cate stomach lining. it does more than medicine AS a physician, I believe in the use of medicine whenever neces- sary, but I must admit that l cannot see the sense of dosing an infamed and irritated stomach with drugs in stead of getting rid of the aeid-the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated maSnesia from your drug gist eat what you want at your next meal take some of the bisurated mag nesia as directed above, and see if I'm not right

 No ReturnF feared
Rheuma Cleans the Uric Acid From the System and Purifies the Blood.

If all other remedies have failed to bring relief from Rheumatism, do not be skeptical about trying RHEUMA the wonderful treatment for all forms of the disease which is sold by The Lee & Osgood Co at 50 cents a bottle. You will know in a few hours after beginning the trea 1nent that the poisonous Uric Acid is leaving your system through the natural channels.
 Do not think because RHEUMA is sold for such 8 small price that it will not bring you back to health. There is no guess work about it.. RHEUMA is better than most rem edies at ten times the price.
 One year ago l had a most severe attack of Rheumatism lasting over nine weeks. Two bottles of RHEU- MA cured me so completely l have never had the slightest return of the disease.
