PLUCKY G|RL WILL
 WHISTLE TIGER AT CIRCUS TOMORROW

Woman has achieved many startl- ing things in the recent years. She has invaded legislative halls and courts and other hallowed places that have always been regarded as the sole property of the masculine. But Miss Mable Stark, who is coming to Phoenix tomorrow with Al. c. Barnes big circus, has done more than this. Not only has she achieved that which no other woman has done before her. but her feat has never been accomplished by man either. She has tanned the Bengal tiger. mc-a arch of the jungles. which circus men have long declared to be un- trainable.
 Lions and leopards learned years
 ago to respond to the crack of the trainer whip, but not so the Bengal tiger. Always he has defied his arch
 enemy, man. And he has refused to i contribute to the entertainment of circusgoers except by appearing be- hind the bars of great steel cage. Then Miss Stark entered. First she took a single tiger and worked with him until he was willing to acknowledge her mastery. Then
 another and another until now she
 has a full twenty, all ready to do her
 bidding.
 Not only does she put the tigers

ARIZONA LEGION
 EN HOME FRON| BIG CONVENT

Strong in their praise or the won derfu1 reception accorded them at the national convention of the American Legion. and in high spirits over the1r success in promoting this state as the opeufng wedge for soldier settlement, the Arizona delegation is back rom Kansas City The Phoenix contln- gent arrived Saturday night.
 The convention with its wonderful attendance and splnedid spirit was i1 inc minds of those just back, the most wonderful and inspiring gather ing of any kind ever held. and more especially so as the keynote or every speech. of every resolution, was What can we do to help the disabled ex-service man2
 One of the most important points brought out in the entire week $ pro eeedings was that while this country was able to send 100000 men into inc fighting ranks within F months after war was declared with Ger many. at this time, three years attef tba sirniug of the armistice, com naratively little has been done to place the disabled man on an equai footing with those who either sacrl- feed nothing or those who were not materially injured by the sacriiices that they did make.
 Naturalization and rehaDlhtatioii were the subjects which received the earnest consideration of the conVen- tion. and were vitalized to remafk- able degree by the comprehensive re-

port of the committee having these matters in hand. The outstanding figure of this committee and of the entire convention. according to the Arizona delegates was General Abel Davis, president of the Chicago Title and Trust company. a man whose rare executive ability is recognized in the world of finance as well as that of public affairs.
 The Arizona delegation, in line with a resolution adopted by the state convention at Prescott last August, captured the convention with it's offer to place disabled veterans on land in Arizona under plan which calls for the taking over by the government of the Gillespie dam and entire project on the Gila rlver, a tract comprising S0,000 acres o1 land. The beauty of the proposition was realized when it was pointed out that the dam is complete, and that everything is in readiness for the sol dier settler to prepare his lana Tor crops, with the absolute assurance ol an abundance of water the year round.
 It was originally planned to secure an endorsement of, the idea by reso- lntion of the convention, but at the suggestion of General Davis the piaL was changed in a manner which Will .enhance it's chance of success m con gress. Congress is surfeited Wlth resolutions. it was pointed ouI py Davis-nothing could be aecoih plished by this method Hence the decision was made to have the Arl- zona proposition referred te the com mittee on rehabilitation and hospital ization with the definite assurance that it would be put through ms committee, and that the committee would go to bat with the measure pc fore congress.

ENG|NEER'S REPORT
 PRAISES PLANS FUR
 PARADISE PROJECT

High lights in the report on the Paradise-Ne Irrigation District project which was approved by the government last week were given out yesterday by E. w. Michael. presi- dent of the organization The re- port reveals recognition of hard work under trying conditions which has been carried on for the past five years.
 Although the report concerns itself for the most part with plans for three dams which have been de- ciared feasible. it also touches upon a history of the district and gives some idea of the great amount of work which has been expended in bringing the project up to it's present condition.
 The official document carries the tltie; Paradise Verde Irrigation Dis tr1ct; Report of Designing Engineer upon Designs Submitted by the Dis trict for the Approval of the Secce- tary of the Interior in accordance with Agreement of May q, 1921 Credit for the report is given J. [. savage, designing engineer, of Den Ver Colo. Chief Engineer Savage after reviewing all the work done here, advised the secretary of the interior:
 ''The plans have all been prepared on the basis of providing permanent construction at the least possible cost" On May 21. 1920. the secretary ot the interior entered into an agree ment with the Paradise Verde Irri gation district, the report points ont under which this district .acouired the right to construct and maintain certain storage reservoirs and other irrigation and power development

Of the money you are paying to the
State in taxes. and you see. in the
opinion of the Commercial Appeal,
what you get in return for that
money. Increased taxation for the
public school system is not a child
of the Roberts system, but crea-
ture of the Tennessee General As
sembly, the Legislature, if you
please.
This paper wants the responsible
ity of increased taxation laid at the
door of the party that created it.
Now, for the sake of being fair to
everybody, we will say thu; the Com
mercial Appeal is likely TO be mis-
taken. But there is another point
that is hard to get around. That is,
why spend millions for higher edu-
cation when the same or better edu-
cational opportunities are offered
in private universities and education
al institutions at practically the same
cost The only thing free in the
State schools is the tuition. To be
specific, the tuition at Vanderbilt
University is $3.50 year. But the
University of Tennessee now has
matriculation fees ranging from for
ty to one hundred dollars and other
fees that Will offset the. charge for
tuition complete at Vanderbilt. We
name these two schools only for the
purpose of illustrating the point.
The underlying and vital issue is:
Is the public school system in Ten
neasee for higher education worth
intrinsically and morally what we
are paying for it?
The whole system of public edu-
cation is a species of socialism, some
thing we sheer at, but we can't get
away from the facts in the case. The
common school system, We are sure,
is a benevolent socialism. We must
the success of the prin-
ciple in the common schools.
If the Commercial Appeal is not |
right in toto it is leading in the
right direction when it is suggested |
that the children of Tennessee are
neglected at the expense of the pro-
motion of higher education.
This paper has platform, and
that platform, published heretofore,
is as follows:
Deed the three State normal
schools back to the counties which
promoted them and establish a sin
gle standard of teacher training in
Tennessee, without duplication in
any of the grades.
Compel the University of Tennes-
see to be satisfied with conservative
and let that be con-
fined principally to the Division of
Department of xAgricul-
ture.
Dismantle the polytechnic school
10 far as the State is concerned.
If there is fight over the schools
It should be in tie interest of the
school children of the STATE who can
not read and write-for the ele-
schools, if you please.
Repeal of the act creating a tax
Tor the State and county fairs. This
is totally unwarranted burden upon
the tax payer.
If you will apply this remedy you
may have relief from the burdens of
State taxes. But without it you may
yell till you are hoarse and there
will be no material reduction in
axes.
