The Ex.officio Board

The evil of the ex-officio board is illustrated in the situation which it is alleged has developed in the land department. Here five men, each with office which presumably engages or should engage attention, who have become nominally responsible but only nominallyfor what takes place with respect to the disposition of the public lands
 The members of the board chosen with their fitness this herit of the state but for another entirely and in more cases than not that is political purpose.
 thing has been made clear by this investi- gation it that the members of the board do not know what has happened They are no better in formed in that respect than the average in the street Some of them demanding the removal of the commissioner for other reason than that he has been assailed by rumors which may may not have the slightest foundation
 We have said that the members of the board have only nominal responsibility. The public does not attach any responsibility to them. We do not sup pose citizen in five knows who constitute the board. Even citizens who have business with the land commissioner have only a hay notion the membership of the department whether there is any other department than that represented in the person of the commissioner.
 If anything goes wrong any member may plead would plead. his lack of time and oppor- tunity to have learned that it going He could be in places at once and the public would agree with him and absolve him of blame.
 A commissioner. of course is responsible but to whom? The board. But board being really ir- responsible has been shown. find only use- less responsibility which the people. but is a both ends
 The only purpose served by an ex-officio board is
 political purpose though the plea of is put forward in it's behalft nothing salaries But the members get something than salaries out of They get political patronage and power and that, for the most part is the and the only they make of their membership. They do not know what is doing the board but they what favorites of their own have jobs there.
 They do not about the efficiency of their favorites; that nothing them: they re- sponsble.

SMART PLAY BY
 SENIOR CLASS IS
 EVENT IF FRIDAY

Each year it has been customary for the departing junior class of Phoenix high school to offer as it's contribution 10 the theatrical activities of the year a produetion eclipsing all others pre- Niously offered. The plays of preced- ing years have made the task of tiRe class of 1920 an exceedingly difficult one. Realizing the necessity for clever offering, the senior class, with the aid of Miss Sucher as coach has worked upon and finally succeeded in selecting a most efficient cast, whose efforts for success are seen in their clever production of that inimicable comedy. "All-of-a- Sudden Peggy" A deficit in the funds Of the junior class has made necessary the contribution Of the senior class. Tn order to assist the junior class. the seniors have decided they will offer their class play on two successive nights, May 14-15. The prices will be 50 and 75 cents.
 All f-a SIdden Peggy is the story of a mother who has high matri- monial designs for her eldest son, Lord Crackenthorpe Her two guests, Mrs O'Mara and. daughter Peggy. are plot ting to capture the titled prize. Lady Crackenthorpe resists their attempts in diplomatic manner until Jimmy 1 Craekenthorpe, the youngest and un- titled brother. marries Peggy.

The scenes that follow as a result of these actions are humorous in the ex- treme.
 A complete set of new scenery has been specially painted for the play. and this added expense makes it es- sential that the auditorium be filled on both nights. Reserved seats are now l on sale at Vic Hanny's and at the l high school for both evenings De- spite the fact that this is an amateur production, the management is sin cere when it states that the audience will fully appreciate the high quality of the acting, which is being conducted under the direction of Miss Sucher.
