to come before you on this most vital matter
 The first step in proposing educa- tional improvement is a survey of cx- isting conditions. There are two fea- lures that appear to be of paramount importance,-the reorganization of the state department of education, and the centralized distribution oi school funds.
 While the school system of Ari- zona has many excellent features there are certain features due to the lack of a centralized administrative system and a consequent lack of CO., ordinatcd educational leadership To this is duo primarily tine failure to deal adequately with our very urgent but much neglected rural school problem. 1 am, therefore, thoroughly committed to the necessity for a constitutional amendment, reorganiz- ing the stete board Of education, and naming tire office of state Superiu- tendent appointive instead Of elective. The method of selecting the board should make 1t continuous, non-par- tisan, or at feast bipartisan, safe guarded from politica chance; and impose upon 1t greatly increased powers and responsibility.
 To bridge the interval until such al amendment becomes a law, a measure should immediately be pass cd, enlSrging the powers and duties of the state board of education as at present constituted, and of the state superintendent of public instruction. This Is essential in the interest of efficiency, and to prevent delay in putting into execution at once pol icy of increased usefulness.
 As a companion to this amend ment, and the most important step in improving our much neglected rural schools, there should be passed a measure recognizing the county school administration, something sim liar to that proposed by the last leg but with certain defects ob- yiated to secure greater efficiency sacrificing to too great an event local participation and conse- quent local interest. It should pro- vide that the county superintendency like the state superintendency should be made an appointive position.
 Equal in importance is the matter of school finance. There Is an in creasing realization that education is the concern of the state primarily and that it should bear a considerable share of the burden. Arizona's law for the distribution of county funds $ excellent in that it assumes the county is responsible for the general of education, and not he local districts. The state in the 1ast has assumed the same attitude 70 q certain extent, put the discrcp- lncy in the wealth of the various counties has combined with the lack # centralized state department re-

TARIFF PLANS
WAIT FORDNEY.
House Conferences Held Up Until
Chairman Returns With Hard
ing's Views on Revision.
By J. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.

Republican leaders of Congress
are marking time today pending the
return of Representative Joseph w.
Fordney, Republican, Of Michigan,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, from his confer
ence with President-elect Harding
at st. Augustine.
Tentative plans for revision OF the
tariff and tax laws by the next Con
gress are being held in allegiance
until Fordney has reported Mr..
Harding's views as to what should
be done regarding them. ..
DIFFER WITH FORDNET.
All the Republican leaders do not
share Fordney's opinion that the
| tarin should be disposed or nrst' anu
proposed changes In the tax system
taken up next
There Is also a difference OF opin-
ION among them as to whether
sales tax should be substituted Tor
the excess profits tax. Senator rem
rose. Republican. OF Pennsylvania
who. as chairman. OF the Senate FL
| nance Committee, occupies the same
position toward the Senate as Ford
ney does toward the House. has been
generally opposed to a sales tax such
as Canada is reported to be bnding
highly successful as revenue raiser
Penrose is not committed. however,
to any final opposition to sales tax.
He is not discussing his ultimate
attitude toward IL. for the reason that
he believes the whole subject OF tarin
and tax revision must be nrst
thoroughly and carefully studied be-
fore he and his Republican colleagues
reach any conclusions respecting
them.
Months may elapse before new tsrin
and tax laws are enacted. Such
legislation must originate in the
House. Hence, Fordney was des-
ignated, as chairman OF the COM
mittee upon which devolves the re-
sponsibility for drafting such legisla-
tion, to go and see Mr.. Harding
while the latter is still engaged upon
his inaugural address. 1t is generally
understood here that Mr.. Harding
will clearly indicate in his address
tho tariff and tax policies he believes
the Republican-controlle Congress
should follow.
HOPES HARDING WILL APPROVE.
Fordney' hopes to obtain Mr.. Hard
ings approval Of his plan to have
Congress by resolution make the pro-
visions of the new tariff bill effective
Immediately upon its being reported
TO the House by the Ways and Means
Committee. and pending the adoption,
| amendment or rejection OF those pro-
| visions by the Senate and House. He
would have those provisions finally
enacted into law made retroactive
from the time of their enactment to
the time OF their being reported or
adopted. In this way he would pre-
vent the country from being flooded
with imports between the time the
bill is reported and the time the
iuties finally provided by it are en-
! forced.
