 Attorney Sloan asked him if he did not hold the office of city electrical inspector He said he held no office that he had been hired by Manager Parish and placed in the office of the building inspector to take care of the electrical inspections which came un- der the building inspectors department. Asked if there was an official known as the city electrician of the city cleo
 trical inspector, he said he did not
 know. The questioning of Dodge was along the line of the charge that Man

 tors to office in violation of the city
 charter
 County Assessor ]. T. Bone was the
 last witness of the day. He was asked
 if he was familiar with lands in tine
 river bottom near the city He said
 he was. With reference particularly
 to the 36 acres purchased for sewer drainage purposes he said he knew the land and that While it was not par ticularly valuable for agricultural pur- poses, it might be valuable as a sand and gravel bed. He was of the opin- ion that no such land is usually ir- rigated and he was not certain that it was under the reclamation project. An attempt was made to secure from him the valuation of the land as shown up- l on the books of the office of the coun- ty assessor. but his was objected to and the objection sustained. It was contended that the assessed valuation of land Was no criterion of its real val lue.
 Attorney Sloan announced that he was dcsirous of calling upon Al Gapin but he seemed not to he present. A subpoena was issued for him and the hearing adjourned until ten o'clock this | morning.

AUTOMOBILE TELEPHONES

In still another matter the new cars show real advancel This is in facilitating communication from owner to chauffeur in the limousine or brougham. and obViating the an moving necessity of opening the car door in the dust or rain to shout directions This problem has resisted attempts at solution: the perfora- ton in the front glass, covered with little flap of glass like the tag on a keyhole, and the old fashioned speaking tube, inherited from the horse cab, have both been used. Far better for the purpose, however, are the tube with a horn bulb attached and the electric megaphone or in terior telephone of this seasons cars. With the latter, one simply lifts the transmitter. and speaks as into telephone.

A School Survey

Two bills intended to cure glaring defects of school system have been introduced One of them establishing d sensible auditing system to ar rest the wild of the school funds, raise which the people heavily taxed than for any other purpose.
 The other bill. introduced by Mrs. Munds at the instance of the Arizona Teachers Association, goes farther. It proposes educational school survey may defined inquiry corning public education which seeks to acquaint the public with all the educational agencies sup ported whole in part. by public moneys with respect their organization, administration. rervision cost physical equipment of study, teaching staff, methods of teaching, student body, results measured by achievements of those who being trained therein.
 school survey is not to be confused with school investigations It rather inventory of conditions and results. In the main an educational survey the schools of Arizona would be other a business inventory
 survey would make study of the business ma ma cement of the schools the sanitary and physi- cal conditions the qualifications of teachers the character and conduct of instruction, the quantity quality of county and state supervision the at tendance school population. the enforcement of school laws, etc.
 The method of training teachers, the method of appointment, and the method of getting rid of inefficient teachers should be ascertained The efficiency of instruction would come within the vey-this would include examination of the course of study and the time devoted to each etc.
 The bill appropriaes s7,5OO for conducting such a survey, which would be directed by experts. of whom would be probably representative of the national commissioner of education. Such surveys have been conducted in many of the states with two fold results-increased efficiency and saving 0 the school funds. We have doubt that the amount proposed to be appropriated for this pur- pose would be small in comparison with the amount that would be saved to the taxpayers

Proper Punishment

In the rush of other matters we have neglected to compliment Police Magistrate Mcbride the sentence he imposed upon man who was drunk and tried drive automobile fine yof s2O0 and sixty days in jail stiff, but not too stiff. Judge McBride is to be criticised for suspendng the sentence confinement in jail Neither would he have been open to criticism if he had re-

We do think that the influential character of the mans friends moved the at all, for. in such case, without influential friends guilty of q like offense, would not have equal standing in the court.
