ing was the emphasis placed by Mr. Jones that Arizona. 800 miles nearer to Kansas City. was entitled to lower freight rate than Los Angeles. The Pacific coast cities contested Arizona $ right to a grade rate on the ground Of water competition. The coast towns argued that their rates were water compelled, and they were entitled to lower trauscontinental freight rates. Arizona did not oppose the coast towns. hut advised them to get the rates if they could. but also held that because Of the fact that this state was nearer the point of shipment it was entitled to the lower rates.
 Mir. Jones presented the commission with figures to show that the net in- come of the transcontinental lines for 1919 was double that of the preceding year, and representatives of other in termountain states gave statistics in- tended to prove that the increase asked By the railroads was not iusti- liable.

Certlt5ed Brains for Cjvic Servdce

would have been embarrassed by not knowing where the Winooksi river is, and finally American history, geo graphy and government were quietly dropped from most of the tests. Geo graphy is given in postal examinations, but there it has a practical place, for a postmaster and his assistant need to be familiar with the United States map.
 Arithmetic still plays an important part in all clerical tests. and is for many applicants the most difficult subject. The demand that a clerk be able to solve problems in which cube roots and decimals are woven into complicated little stories about grocers' bills. watered stock. and other appro priate subjects is not at first glance clear to the uninitiated, and has caused some caustic comment.
 The civil service commission ex- plains it's attitude toward arithmetic by saying that ability to use figures is a test of a logical mind. In other words arithmetic is included in the examinations, not so much because the clerk will ever need it-though he may but as a sort of oId-fashioned psy- chology test. Granting that skill at solving problems is an indication of mental precision, it may be argued that many a valuable clerk in private ! swims at the sight of figures. To which again the civil service commis- sion answers that the government is an enormous organization. and must pick its employees wholesale by stan dards which give the best results in the majority of cases
 System Sorts We'll
 By it's examination system. the com mission says, at least 95 people out of 100 are properly classified as to ability. The other five may be of too nervous | a temperament to do themselves jus | tice in a competitive test. but they are | only exceptions, and with 0,000 ap- | pointments to be made every year, the | commission has no time to sort the 1 geniuses out of the list of failures
 Possibly the psycholoby tests will en-
 able some of the exceptions to prove | their mental superiority.
 The commission seems justified fl it's claim that the government employ. ment business is too unwieldy to b.
 managed except by the most rigi'
 rules The photograph demanded o every person who takes a governmen
 examination, for instance, is bit o
 so-called red tape, which would b. | ridiculous in a small business organ
 ization, but it is a necessary formalit1 in the government. A decade or S ago, candidates for government posi-
 tions would sometimes induce friends
 who were better prepared than the.

 aminations. Even when a member o

YUMA ENTRY WINS
 STATE POOL TITLE

George Hardy of Yuma won the first tournament for the professional pool championship of Arizona last night by winning spectacular match with Pete Williams of Phoenix, after he had seemingly been left hopelessly behind in the play. The game was fast, and Hardy showed some remark able form by coming up from under 9 score of 63 to 13 in favor of Williams, to win the match at last to the tune of 100 to 73.
 Ed Dobrovsl1y finished third in the tournament, Williams taking second place. Phil Dawsett was fourth, and Tex Spencer of Mesa fifth. The tourna- ment was played at Sheas 23 West Washington street, and Ed Barlow of New York City refereed all the games. Plans are now under way, Barlow said last night, for a second profes- sionaI championship tournament here the first week in November, with a. large list of entries from all parts of l the state. Efforts will be made to get some Fast coast professionals to enter | the play.

EQUALIZATION BOARD
 VOW IS IN SESSION

The board of supervisors and the county assessor, sitting as a board of equalization for the purpose of adjust ing errors in the tax assessments of the county. met for the first time yes terday and will continue to meet each day until June 10, after which no cor rections on the rolls will be made Ac- cording to reports from the office of the board of supervisors where the tax rolls have been open for the inspection of the taxpayers since May A, the number of people calling to inspect the rolls has been very small in compar- ison with the total number of assess ments.
 Several people yesterday presented claims for corrections in their assess ments to the board of equalization. All taxpayers are urged by the super visors to check their assessment sheets at once and present their claims for corrections before the final meeting of the board of equalization on June 10. The state tax commission has ruled that the power of the supervisors to change the assessments on the tax roll will cease after June 10.

ARIZONA AND OTHER STATES URGE MORE
 JUST FREIGHT RATE

That Arizona and other intermouu- tain states would hesitate to grant any further increase in freight rates until the rates are leveled and graded down to a reasonable basis in conformity with other states in the United States was the statement made by |. A. Jones of the Arizona corporation com mission at the hearing in San Fran cisco of the intermountain states ap- plication for readjustment of trans continental rates.
 In explanation of his testimony ip the north, which screated much com ment MT. Jones said that the railroads serving Arizona and all the intermoun- tain states are earning in excess of the per cent guaranteed by an act re-
 gently passed by congress. He stated that the earnings amounted to approx imately 10 per cent. and if the freiGht rates were increased it would merely
 mean that intermountain staSes were
 contributing to the deficits of other states.
 MT. Jones said that the railroads were neutral in the matter since being guaranteed 6 per cent on the value of the property and not concerned from where it comes. The increase. in this territory, will neither benefit the rail- roads in the state nor the state, but the state not earning the freight will be the beneficiary.
 Mr. Jones not only testified. but also assisted in examining the witnesses at the hearing, which began in New York 1 three weeks ago and closed in San
 Francisco last week, and will be orally | argued in Chicago June 30. Hearings have also been held in Chicago and | Spokane that every section of the l country might be heard before the in- l terstate commerce commission. l A feature of the San Francisco hear

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON. May 31-Use of mental tests in civil service e&aml- nations is now seriously considered by the government. In future the would be government clerk may have to prove his mental alertness by coping with such propositions as If flea is bigger than a dog pass on to the next ques- ton; if it is not, turn over this sheet and put three crosses in the upper left hand corner"
 This sort of thing has achieved great popularity with many employers of labor, and testimonials as to it's success are heard on every hand. Business men who exude efficiency scarcely in- quire of a prospective clerk if she can s1pell or manipulate a typewriter. ln- ytead, the astute psychologist fixes his eye on the applicant and notes that she has the marcel wave of the instinctive typist and the eyebrow of a level headed personality
 Suppose you say the alphabet rap idly backward, leaving out G. he sug- gests. Thank you. Report for work Monday"
 The government does not contem- plate such complete trust in science as < this. In all probability, the mental alertness test would comprise only 10 per cent of 100 points in any ex- animation. Still. the fact that the na- tion's biggest and most conservative iaDOF concern IS lTy1nS out SuCn lcSlS at all will give them added importance in the eyes of many people.
 The success of the army with it's in telligence tests was what led the civil service commissioners to feel that pos sibly credit might be given in civil service examination for intelligence as well as school book knowledge. As an experiment, 100 employees of the post office department have been singled out and put through a series of tricks designed to measure their Judgment and mental agility. The ratings on their papers compared with records oi their ability while in the government service will show the commissioners to what extent clerical efficiency in the government is dependent on the quail ties which may be thus tested.
 Tests Are Practical
 q The growing tendency is to make ex- aminations for government position: as practical as possible. Once an ap- plicant for a cIerkship was required tC demonstrate his knowledge of geo graphy, history. and civil government as we'll as arithmetic, spelling, anC composition. The idea. was that a gov eminent empIoye should have at leas good common school education, SC that he would be a credit to the nation and be eligible to rise to the height: of the service, even though he migh start as a punch clerk.
 In practice, however. the punch elerl rarely attained a position in which h'
