Here's a Tank That Can
Walk, Float and Dive

Paris.-An amphibious tank
was demonstrated to French
naval and military authorities
at Marseilles by its inventor,
Leon Foenquin. The machine
resembles the ordinary whippet
tank except that it is propelled
from the stern. After crossing
trenches and climbing walls the
tank entered water, cruised. on
the surface for a while, then
dived and crawled ashore along
the bottom. Gen. Monro and
Admiral Beaussant witnessed
the performance.

APPLIES TO NORTHERN ARIZONA

Uncle Sam is still the own- CT of large tracts of land in eleven western States. In Nevada he holds the title to over 90 per cent of the acre age of that State. He pa, s no taxes and yet wantsroads and States no longer live un- to themselves.
 To meet the situation in these States it is suggested that the Government, while not making any change in the method of distribution of the public funds, shall pay a just ratio of the cost of a highway in the proportion that the land he owns or controls is to the total land in such State.

PROHIBITION OF iMMIGRA TION TO SOLVE AMERI-
 CAN LABOR PROBLEM

If Congress will look round the world. it will find that every where milliouS are idle and un- employed. Under the circum- stances Congress would be justi- fled in prohibiting all lmmigra- ton for six or nine months pend- ing the establishment of a per manent immigration policy. For the next nine months at least the United States needs TO inn migrants of any kind. The coun- try has more workers than op- portunities to work, domestic servants excepted.
 When the gates are opened g. gain, the Immigration Bureau should have a corps of inspect ors throughout Europe investi- gatlng the applicant for an i'm migration permit In his home. On this side there should be g commission determining not only how many immigrants of what kind are needed or can be as similated, but also seeing to it that the immigrants are sent to  these regions where their ser vic. are in demand.

ARIZONA TEACHERS
 ADOPT PLATFORM

The school administrators real izing the critical conditions con- fronting the citizens of Arizona today make the following re- concentrations
 l. That the ensuing school year IS not suited for the intro duction of any new or unusual features involving additional ex- penditures.
 Z That the organization of vocational and other claeses fer a m al number of students should be discouraged.
 g., Schools are urged to pur- chase only the minimum amount of school supplies and use the most scrupulous care in their distribution and use.
 4. Teachers are expected to bear their share of the burden during this crisis by rendering additional servlce in IorRer hours or larger and more classes.
 5. Teachers salaries should be readjusted on the basis of merit and experience.
 a. Salary schedules for teach IS In Arizona should be arrane- ed with the view of encouraging the better type of teacher to re- main in the state thus reducing migratory tendencies.
 b. School officials should. therefore maintain a graduated schedule designed to give teach CTS increases extending over a period of years and based on merit.
 c. The granting of serYlce in other schools should be discour- aged as a mater of justice to u e teacher who remains within the system.
 d. School officials should con- slider it a matter of professional ethics and courtesy not to en- gage teachers who have served out one year in other school systems unless unusual circum- stances justify.
 e. School officials should eKar- 'lse greater care in recon nerd iog teachers as candidates to 'ther officials avoiding smbi- guous terms and eloquent Eng fish.
 They should deem it a breach of professional ethics to pTite general recommendations.
 f. The minimum salary fer grade teachers should be sufici- ent to give the teacher a thrift wage. This depends upon varry- ing conditions of living through out the state. A Aminimum wage 'f Sl2O0 is recommended by the National Education Associticn.
 g. Increases should be given sparingly at this critical period. Teachers must have shown real neritorious service to be entitl- ed to the same.
