Today will see the close of the twenty first annual convention of the Arizona Sunday School association in this city. That it has been a most successful convention is the opinion of all.
 Urging that the church take a more at tive interest in state, county and city government, Governor Campbell, fin addressing delegates attending the twenty first annual convention of the Arizona Sunday School association at the First Methodist church last night, said there was not a public office hold CT in the state who was truly repre- senting the Christian people.
 "If you want to make the world bet ter, you must battle as the world does. You cannot get the results you are looking for if you are not properly represented" he said. An office holder cannot read your thoughts. He must have some concrete expression from you if you want action in line with your ideas
 Against Boxing Permit
 The governor admonished his hear CTS that they did not carry their work far enough to be of real constructive value.
 'I am dealing with things in the concrete and not the abstract" he said, and as a timely point in question re- fcrred to a heated discussion of prize fighting which featured the afternoon session of the convention. He said al- though it was very evident the church people were not in favor of boxing ex- hibitions staged in this state, he had waited in vain to receive protests ad- I f, ,a
 'I received one petition to have the exhibitions stopped" he said, "anG that was signed by only three people It came from Tucson"
 The governor said he heartily flaw ored repeal of the state laws which permit boxing.
 "The action on the part of the com. missioners of the city of Phoenix ir refusing to grant any more permit. for boxing exhibitions is to be com. mended." Applause at this poin showed the audience favored tn, opinion of the governor who added "i hope the county board of super visors will follow the lead whicl Phoenix has taken
 Governor Campbell pointed out thu need of both orphan institutions il Tucson for the aid of church people He said it was his intention to pat ronize both institutions with stat and county aid.
 Can Make S. S. Attractive
 That the Sunday school can be mad . an attractive place for the growth, boy was demonstrated at the after noon session of the convention yes terday when a long row of youngster were presented to the delegates b. Mrs. Vardeman as a class attendin the Balzs school house. None of tn members of this class has missed Sunday for the past three years.
 Dr. w. W. Wilkinson, in an addres during this session, introduced the ide ct Saving a regular class in the Sun day school where boys and girls wi be instructed in sexual matters.
 The record cradle roll of the stat was introduced at this meeting b Mrs. Frank Curtis who exhibited pho tographs of more than 200 babies en rolled at Flagstaff.
 The second days session of the con vention was brought to close las night with the adoption of resolution to take up Characterization work an a general expression of thanks for tn hospitality of Phoenix in entertainin the visiting delegates.

CThree years ago there was movement under way, national in scope and character to educate the masses on the subject of Better Furniture -B Better Homes. Important committee meetings were held in New York, Chicago and elsewhere money was subscribed, per manent organizations formed and it looked then as If the hopes of those who were promoting this nation wide movement to bring our American people back to the home would soon be realized.
 CThe war came Every other interest was laid aside But the is now, and out of the chaos of strife and action seems to have been born new value for houses in which to live And, if it were merely speculative value, which it is not then no permanent good could come of it. But the people who are buying building or already own homes show evil dence of appreciating them for their true worth
 GLook around in your own particular neighborhood and note the large number of pieces of property that have changed hands recently Note also the improve ments that have been made on this property-inside outside-even the lawn and the back yard. Pride and appreciation of owning a home-that's the answer.

CIt is interesting study that the members of Ford Levy Co., permitted to engage in as busiy wait on the customers who throng store "We want our home furnished right this time" 'We like your way of transacting business and the fair and courteous treatment receive. These are some of the expres sions which are daily heard.
 QThat prices higher than they a year ago no one questions. That they will continue to advance and probably not be so low the present basis for several years seems equally beyond dispute But when you consider values anything that enters into the home, which means making better citizens of us a just place alongside of this your own new and in- creased estimation of what Home really is and what it means to you and yours, and you'll spend your money, not as we Arizonians are famed for parting with it. but in the spirit expressed by Ingerso, who said:
 C"If you have but dollar, spend it as if it were but the leaf of tree and you the possessr of boundless forest Iwould rather be beggar and spend my last dollar like king, than to be king and spend my money like beggar."

Bill In Legislature Would Name State
Commissioner at $4,000 a Year.
Representative Lyons has introduc-
ed bill in the Legislature creating
the Office of State Bank Commissioner,
the appointee to be named by the Gov
ernor at a salary of, $4,000 year.
The term would be two years. This
bill was sent to Dover by the State
Bankers Association. 1t authorizes
the commissioner to appoint deputy
at a salary OF $4,000 and a clerk at
$1,000 a year. The commissioner
would maintain an office in Dover and
the salaries of his Office force and ex-
penses would be paid out of taxes and
other charges received by the COM
missioner. This bill gives the SSm-
missioner all the powers and duties as
to banks, trust companies and build
ing loan associations that are now
held by the insurance commissioner.
1t provides for an inspection of every
banking institution by the commits
sioner or his authorized agents once
every year. 1t also gives the commits
sioner wider powers in some instances
than held by the insurance commits

Our congratulations to the members
elect of Smyrna Town Council and to
all those elected on the ticket. The
future holds out many good things for
the town and community, where wise
legislation commensurate with the
means at hand, requires the careful
scrutiny of every member. We are
ambitious to see Smyrna with all
municipal improvements that any
other progressive town has and vet,
the tax rate must be as consistently
low as possible. With the aid of good
revenue builders such as continuous
current, water and sewers for which
campaign should be waged to more
largely introduce in every home,
SmyIna's tax rate can be kept at a
consistently low figure and still give
the town all the good things any
other wide awake municipality enjoys.
Our hearty good wishes for a success

2 A bill introduced in the Legislature
the other day would close all banks at
noon on Saturday. This bill no doubt
would work to the pleasure and COM
fort of bank officials, but how about
the business men and farmers. Sat-
urday afternoon in country town, is
one Of the busiest afternoon of the
week. 1t is the time when many farm
ers come to town to draw out money to
do their purchases and to close the
banks at noon would work an injus-
tice. Three o'clock the present hour
is soon enough at best, and many hope
the earlier Saturday afternoon closing
will not pass.

Referring to Representatives Null
vena's bill to amend the State income
tax law, the Every Evening says, if
the proposed amendments do not re-
quire that "afidavits shall be taken
without cost to the affiants, it should
be amended to this extent. At present
it is an imposition upon taxables to
compel them to go before a notary
public and pay fee for making affi-
davit to their tax statements. This
is good thing for the notaries public,
but the people should not be expected
to contribute to their support in this
manner. The State should meet every
item of expense involved in the pro-
cedure of citizens who endeavor to
comply with the law in making their
returns for the income tax and MAX
ing payment thereof. They should
not be compelled to pay notarial fees.

In the defeat for reelection to
Town Council of Harry B. Grieves,
lsng the efficient secretary, clerk and
chairman of the Light and Water
Committee, Smyrna Town Council has
lost one of its most valuable and use
full members. While conservative. he
was nevertheless one of the best sec
retaries and accountants the town ever
had, was conscientious, painstaking
and ever ready to do what he could in
the work assigned him by Town Coun-
Gil. Indeed he looked after business
with as much interest and care as
though it were his own and gave more
time to town affairs in his 18 years
Of Office than is little known or appre-
ciated. His record will be hard to
beat. In parting with his services
Town Council has lost a good and ef-
fcient member.
