fuse to license any film that Is "obsccne,

Dition would tend to corrupt morals or

chairman Of the commission. was Presi-
dent pro tenn. Of the Senate in 1910 and
served as Lieutenant Governor under
Gov Horace White. He was twice
elected District Attorney Of Jefferson

Mr.. Cobb's term Is to expire Decem-
Der 81, 1925: Mrs. Hosmer's December

the matter reviewed by the courts.
After hearing Of his appointment yes
terday Mr.. Levenson said he had long
been an advocate of motion picture
censorship because Of the pernicious
influence many productions have on the
morals of young people.
1T Is my belief" he said. that In
the not far distant future the men in
control Of this industry will become the
warmest friends Of the censorship law.
When they realize that the official in
dorsement OF films will mean that par
ents may send their children to the
theatres with complete peace OF mind
that no picture will be presented likely
to impair their morals q larger public
will be ready to patronize these thea
tres. public that now refuses to en-
danger the welfare Of their dear ones.

Limitations ON Specie Payments By
the Bank Of England.

To THE NEW YoRX HERALD: In your ed :
itorial article of July IA on "Perus Filler
in Exchange" you say Peru had $11.ooo,-
900 in gold in New York and exchanged
It for something called London cash In
ono sentence and British paper money
in the next Suppose Peru got Bank OF
England notes Were they not redeem
able in q much greater weight Of gold
than Peru had in New York? Has Eng
land suspended specie payments? And
II so. when? AVERAGE INrELLIGENcE.
FALL RIVER, Mass. July 10.
Bank Of England notes may not be
exchanged for gold for export. and
anybody who attempts such transac-
ton Is liable to criminal prosecution.
The gold we receive from England Is
either bought in the open market with
British paper money and at a premium
equal to the difference between the
value Of the dollar and the British
pound in the exchange market. or else
1t is shipped here by the British Gov
eminent itself.
London cash and British paper
money are Synonymous terms, but
neither means gold at the face value
OF the paper. II gold could be OBJ
tanned for Bank Of England notes and
sent to America anybody could make a
fortune by simply buying the notes
with American money and then ship
ping the gold back here after the
Bank Of England notes had been ex-
changed for metal.
England nominally has not sus-
pended specie payments. but actually
she has. The. United States is the
only one OF the leading nations which
now maintains no restrictions what
ever on gold imports and exports.

uninterrupted school year in which to work out of a two-year term. The uncertainty, the emphasis put on poll tics is, year by year. making the posi- uion less attractive. Furthermore, the county superintendent today has noth- ing to say about the selection of teach CTS, and yet she is expected to bring up the standard of the schools in her county. Making bricks without straw would be mere play in comparison" Miss Toles said.
 Tt would be unfortunate if the county superintendent were to be given the responsibility for the selec- ton of the teaching force, and yet left political officer-it would present the material for the neatest of political machines If. however, the superin- tendent is chosen for her ability she'll select her teachers on the same basis, since on their success depends her own.
 There's nothing radical or untried in the plan presented in Senate Bill
 104; twelve states are already reor- gan1zed under it, two of them being
 our neighboring' states of Utah and New Mexico. California, Idaho and Washington have an identical program before their legislatures at this time. We are frequently reminded that Arizona's school system stands third in rank in the United States; but peo- pie do not know that it was our city | school systems chiefly that gave us
 that ranking. Our rural schools are
 not doing what they should for coun- try children, and hope that this legis-
 lature will give us the means of bring
 ing the mup to the standard that gives | us the right to be so proud of the re- | malnder Of our school system

PHOENIX BUILDERS
 GUESTS AT TUCSON

One of the most enjoyable banquets members of the Builders Exchange or Phoenix have experienced was ten dered them in Tucson Saturday eve ming. The crowd gathered in the olu Pueblo club dining room and did not adjourn until 11:i5. The opportunity of enjoying the hospitality of the noted old club was much appreciated by the 17 Phoenix visitors, and the entertain ment will long be remembered by them.
 A. H. Condron, secretary Of the TUG son Builders Exchange, introduced Leo Weaver; Phoenix secretary, who in turn introduced each member of the Phoenix delegation, and all were given a rousing welcome. M. l.. Tophoy, president of the exchange in the Old Pueblo, gave an address of welcome to the visitors which was responded to by the Phoenix secretary, who toio of the great appreciation of his mem bers at being given such a wonderful greeting.
 Herbert Drachman spoke on Tucson Spirit Behind the Open Shop" and was given hearty applause. His talk touched upon the generosity shown Tucson by the Phoenix Realty Board which he praised highly on the results attained in the capital T. B. Stew art spoke on 'Arizona's Building Out look and was listened to with undi- vided attention, a s the talk was high ly Interesting. w. A. Lamprey. presi- dent of the Tucson bank, gave an en- Tightening talk on Building Materia Outlook" and said in his opinion prices would not make more than a five pel cent further decline.
 Bill Curtayne, a brick contractor ant noted character of Tucson, furnished the comedy end of the program in hi. talk on a contractors duty to th' public, and roars of laughter greeted his many witty remarks. MT. Guyo of Tucson acted as toastmaster ant ably handled the large gathering. Al
 most one hundred and fifty guests at 1 tended, and it is certain the spirit O CO., operation manifested will meal much to both cities.
 The trip from Phoenix was made il | large Cadillacs furnished by Rabbit
 Bros, local distributors, and by Clinton l Campbell. Tucson was given credi i for its excellent roads. The Tucsol exchange will be invited on a retur 1 trip to Phoenix in the near future
 and the builders here are planning
 royal reciprocation of hospitality.

STATE SCHOOL HEAD
 ADVOCATES PROPOSED
 COUNTY UNIT BILL

School administration is specialized business and the selection of an of ficial should not depend on political chance" declared Elsie Toles, state superintendent of public instruction, in advocating the county unit bill
 a iterview yesterday Miss Toles spoke of the bill now pending in the legislature claiming that the county unit Is nothing more nor less than an attempt to close up the gap between city and county school efficiency by giving the county school the adminis- tration under which the city school has gained it's big advantage.
 The change advanced by Miss Toles is not radical. Twelve states have already accepted the county unit plan while a number of others have the same program before their legisla- lures.
 Ut is not because of a desire to take anything away from the rural districts but to give them what they sorely lack, that am urging the county unit I think it is time that we recog- nized that the children of the districts have right to the same opportunities as the city child, hut that he is not getting them. under the present sys- tenn of administering the rural schools. That system has been given a trial for years with the result, that under 1t the rural school stands far below the city school in efficiency" said Miss Toles.
 "The most bitter opposition to it comes from those who claiSa that the plan is undemocratic. ,hat it takes out of the hands of those most directly concerned in the administration of the school system. No one claims the city school system is undemocratic be- cause the people delegate the author 1 itv to look after the whole system with it's numerous schools, to one board instead of many. yet the city system
 may include dozens of schools and
 more teachers and more pupils than
 all the schools in a county put to- gether.

plained that the bill had been offered Tn behalf of the Cooks and Walters union.
 An important action of the house in the afternoon was the adoption of an amendment offered by President Will kinson to the bill providing for the seg regation of high school pupils of the African and Caucasian races The bill IS an amendment of the existing law relating to segregation of all pupils. TWO amendments were offered by Mir. Wilkinson, who said, by the way, that he was opposed to any segregation but since it is in the law, he exempts from it high school pupils. The other amend ment provides that in districts where there are 25 or more colored pupils if b per cent of the voters petition for an election on the subject of the segre- gation of high school pupils the cleo tion shall be called by the trustees. The issues shall be the matter of seg- fregation with equal facilities to be provided for the African pupils The committee recommended the passage of the bill.
 The committee also agreed without division to a favorable report on the
 bill for the establishment of a school for mental defectives, for which a fig ht has been made in successive legisla-
 lures. There was slight amendment ] :. Measures Recommended The bill giving Yavapai county an
 other superior judge was the occasion of considerable discussion and was rec commended after an agreement to an amendment leaving it to counties whether they shall ask the governor for the appointment of additional | judges Other bills recommended for passage were the following: validating the highway bonds of Maricopa county; determining the value by the process of | amortization of securities held by frat ernal life insurance companies; the bill
 making more explicit the present pro1 visions for holding of elections in the | smaller towns, intended to meet a sit nation in Tempe: the bill declaring ir- l rigation districts to be municipal cor | porations: the bill defining and enlarg- | ing the powers of county engineers This is a measure desired by the citi- zens of Douglas in relation to the su .
 pervision of a county building by the
 county engineers. It was feared that
 the bill was intended to interfere with
 the operations of county highway com 1 fissions but an amendment relieves anE lapprehension of such interference l though there was not before, any ground for 1t.
 | In the completed work of the senate was the passage on third reading of the amendments to the water cOde as Sug- gested by Water Commissioner Norveil Other bills finally passed were: I Senate bill 43. known as the squat 1 ters' rights bill, guaranteeing to settler! on the unsurveyed public domain polio, protection if they have complied witt the federal regulations with referenc,

 'T can't. try as I will, see the force of the argument that this is undemo- cratic. It puts the emphasis on a shadow the jealous retention or a ht
 tie power in the hands of small ioCal group, and ignores the substance. ene welfare of the children who are oelng handicaDped bv the system today. In my experience as county super1nten- derft I found one thing I could always
 count upon-the desire or the people
 to do the best thing for their schoois. I believe that, if people In the country
 districts understood the bill and that
 its aim is to give and not to take from
 their schools. they would be It's
 strongest advocates. Personally, two
 years ago, I had my doubts about the bill because l feared that It m1gnt
