Last Wednesday evening the club
held a very pleasant dance in Py-
THAN hall, and a large number were
present in spite of the inclement
weather. The party danced until a
late hour, and voted the evening a
success in every way. In a week or
two the club will hold its annual
ladies' night at the rooms, and some
time in May, will hold a grand ball.
In addition to boosting baseball
this summer, if sufficient interest is
shown the club proposes to hold some
mountain climbs, and later in the
year, a road race.

July and the tax commission issued an invitation to the executive committee to be represented there and discuss the matters of economic interests to the taxpayers in the state.
 Following tn meeting with the tax commission the executive committee met at the headquarters of the associa- tion in the Hub building, at which the report of acting secretary Whitmarsh was made, showing a rapid gain in membership and that most of the coun- ties were now represented as members of the association.
 During the luncheon interval Mr Tharaldson entertained the commission and members of the committee at luncheon at the Arizona club Mir Steinfeld of Tucson, when seen after the conference was particularly well pleased with the outlook for the asso- citation and stated that in his own county, Pima. much interest was being taken. In addition to the movement on the part of the state association there has been organized a county associa- ton with a splendid membership to act in harmony with the state body.

State Tax Payers Associa- tiOn Executive Committee Meets with State Tax Commission and Discuss Means of Reduction.

The executive committee of the Ari-
 zona state Taxpayers Association met with the tax commission yesterday and
 spent most of the day discussing mat ters of mutual interest to the assocla-
 tion and commission Commissioners
 Zander, Howe and Miller were present.
 The members of the executive com
 mittee of the association who attended
 the meeting, which was held at the
 state capital were:
 P. A. Tharaldson, Albert Steinfeld of Tucson. J. M. Purdum of Globe, Ru-
 dolph Kuchler of Glendale. There was also present, acting secretary Whit marsh of the association and it's legal representative, H. NJ. Fennemore.
 Practically the whole time was taken up in the discussion of means and measures whereby the association could by it's influences affect a reduc- tion in the amount of money paid for taxes in the state. It was also agreed that the present plan of cities and counties having separate assessors and collectors could be changed so as to eliminate much expense; and that each county could probably take care of the
 assessments and collections of the tax es for cities. A uniform system of
 keeping accounts throughout the state
 was also discussed and practical sug- gestions made for placing such sys- | tenn into effect. The matter of a uni form system of purchasing supplies for county school districts was also taken up and discussed. The main result of | the meeting was a thorough under standing of the aims and purposes of 1 the taxpayers association by the com-
 mission and the expression of hearty
 support by the commission of all the l economic plans and measures sug- gested. It was decided that there
 should be a general meeting of tax Ipayers in connection with the confer ence of couaty officials at Prescott il

WATERLOO FAITHFULLY
 DEPICTED IN PICTURES

By far the most wonderful histOri- cal reproduction ever filmed is that of The Battle of Waterloo" which will be shown at the Avenue today and tomorrow.
 Napoleon, the greatest military strategist of history, went down to defeat at Waterloo, at the hands of the allies-Prussia, England, Bruns- wick and The Netherlands. Authori- ties differ as to what caused the de- feat of this remarkable commander, although the most accepted theory is that it was due to the failure of General Grouchys to arrive with the 3O,000 men under him in time to re- inforce Napoleon. The decisive bat tie was fought in the immediate neighborhood of the little village of Waterloo. no far distant from Brus- sels, in Belgium. Wellington had concealed an immense force in the woods near Waterloo, leaving a con- siderable body of men in plain view. The balance of the allied forces were located just beyond Brussels. On the eve of the battle, the Duchess of Richmond gave one of the most bril- liant balls of history at Brussels in honor of the Duke of Wellington. Napoleon thought to take advantage of Wellington's absence to annihilate his forces at Waterloo, and with this in mind sent General Ney to drive in the outposts at Brussels. Ney was repulsed by the forces of the English. under Sir Thomas Pickton the Duke of Brunswick, and the Ear of Uxbridge. The next day Napoleon attacked Wellington's army. The Englishman drew on his reserves in the wood as they were needed Ma | poleon's crack regiment, the Cuirra s;ers, were led into the sunken road and were practically annihilated The battle waged all day, both armies were nearly exhausted; Grouchy fail i ed to arrive but in his stead came the German, Butcher, who had made an immense detour from the other side of Brussels. With him were | thousands of fresh troops who at

Especial to The Republican,
 LONDON, May 1.-The unhy- genie conditions of the house of con- mons, the lack of space and accom- modation both on the floor of the house and in the galleries and par ticularly the system of ventilation, have been frequently condemned. But although there has been plenty of criticism forthcoming, there have been no new ideas or suggestions offered for it's improvement, and, therefore the plan suggested to Mr. Charles Bathursts committee by the eminent engineer, Sir Francis Fox, is par ticularly welcome.
 Briefly, the scheme suggested by Sir Francis Fox is that the whole chamber should be remodelled, and the seating accumulation for members arranged in semi-circular tiers on the principle of a Grecian theater. The present design of the house of com mons is unsatisfactory at any point of view To commence with, only

 bers, and the chamber always strikes
 the uninitiated on seeing it for the first time as being curiousiy small for its importance It was, as a matter of fact. Intentionally kept small for the sake of hearing-archi-
 tectural beauty in its design having also been sacrificed to sound The rectangular system has been proved
 wrong for a building where acoustic
 properties are important Only complete structural encouragement
 will meet the difficulties, and for the
 necessary extension New Place Yard
 is available.
 Then the members can have a semi circular chamber where each
 can have his own chair, his own
 desk, his own stationery, and, if nec- essary, his own ventilator, permitting an inlet of fresh air alongside his
 own desk. which he can regulate to suit his own comfort. It may be interesting to point out that the house of lords is twenty-five feet longer than the house of commons. and has benches to accommodate $50 members. The whole building covers four acres and contains eleven courts, 100 sair cases, and 11,000 rooms.

Bids have been received for the erection of the circus grand stand seat at the Gardens to be used for the Shrine Sirkus The circus will be given in front of the two sections of seats and the promoters assure that there will be room for all who attend to watch the antics of the fez adorned performers.

It ought to make some of the doubt ing ones want to see the accomplish ed performer in action. The fact is Shaw, who is just barely able to tell horse from a band wagon, cant ride anymore than a fat lady, and his friend Sbidmore says: If Shaw were nailed in a box car with both end doors closed he would fall out, v but who cares as long as he makes lot of fun for the audience.

He thinks he will not look we'll in white. Oh, Egie, your the real cut up.
 The audience expected at the Shrine Sirkus, is asked not to kill any of the clowns as the one you want to murder may be a brother or some dear friend.
