CONGRESSIONAL
DILEMMA

Our lives would be sunny If we could get money
From out of the clouds the ambient air
And thus please the Legion in every old region
With taxpayer turning hair,
Some method political
Suiting the critical
TO raise the billions we're anxious to raise;
oh can't there be shown
Some magical bonus
Which everyone gets and which nobody pays?
For stalling. in danger of falling
Betwix decidedly different stools,
If go higher the taxpayers ire
May bring defeat the heat of it cools
But-here's where the is
Lacking the bonuses
Ex-seryice may be out for skins;
Oh amt there chances
OF running finances
So nobody and everyone wins?
conscience is garnshed with motives unarnished
We're doing duty like untrammeed souls
(But it would be pleasant if we knew, at present
What action the voters viii take at the polIs).
oh gosh it is terrible,
Almost unbearable--
This problem is giving chills sweats;
Won't somebody loan
give a bonus
Which nobody paws and which everyone gets?

drawings Of the Phoenix of tomorrow
which are now reposing in an upper
room of the school administration
building, would seem to be at fault
in this respect. Certain well popu-
lated sections of the city are blocked
in in red-they are simply ignored
and unplanned for. They arc to have
no avenues to foster pride. no parks
for coolness and sightliness. no
splendid public buildings to dignity
their surroundings. These regions
might well be marked Cimmeria as
being beyond the pale Of municipal
care
But when the planned city comes it
will be cartwheel city. In every
direction it's long arms will run out,
embracing every corner of town and
by the same gesture inviting all per-
sons. rich and poor. white and colored
alike to come nearer to its heart.
So far as possible these red sections,
breeding red lights, red politics. red
crime and other varieties of redness,
will be blotted from the map. That
is the modern idea, and Phoenix is a
modern city.

Adam and Eve The playwrght's father, who will
