Office 9of Clerk of Town of Weblake
Dear Sir:-In regard to your inquiry
about the commission form of govern
ment. There is perhaps a lot to be
said on both sides. However, as it is
being worked out here, it seems rather
one sided affair. Instead of decrease
ing our county taxes, it has greatly in
creased them Now, instead of each
town having representative on the
county board only three towns are
represented and our commissioners
are not public spirited enough to go
beyond their own home towns.
The commissioners constitute the
board of highway commissioners, the
poor relief board, bridge and road com
mittee, purchasing agent, etc. So you
see they have the whole say SO in the
county without cutting down expenses
at all. All of their friends have jobs
patrolling highways
You may think from this letter that
am bowling because | wanted job
under the commission and lost out, but
I'm not. Couldn't use any of the jobs
if T could get them.
Hope you receive letters from some
of the clerks of other towns. They
may be of different opinion. Am speak
ing from the standpoint of our town.
You see we happen to be one of the
towns IN the jack pine and sandy belt
SO are in the minority.
My opinion is unless your conditions
greatly differ from ours here, let the
commission government alone.
Very truly yours,
ED MUTT, Clerk

| Dear Mr. Richards: 1T gives me
pleasure to reply to your recent in
quiry in regards our County Commits
sion form of government, will say that
we adopted this system year ago
and find that it is meeting our re-
quirements fairly well as it is a more
up to date method of doing business,
still the laws on this system are not
very definite yet but no doubt will be
improved upon if it becomes more uni
versaI throughout the State which we
are confident it will be if it is tried
out, and great deal depends on if
the counties are wise in their selec-
ton of the Commissioners so as to
get men who are honest and impair
tial and not resort to selfish interests
on account of their long term of of
flee, and a great deal depends upon
the geographical location of the coun-
ties and if they can be impartially
divided into districts so as to make
just representation according to the
population. Hopingthat you people
will be pleased with the results in
your undertaking and that we may
have the pleasure of hearing of your
success. / beg to remain,

Out Of thirty-three letters written
to representative residents of Burn
EFT county asking for opinions as to
the way that the commission form of
government is regarded in that coun-
ty, the following replies have been
received. Burnett county at the pri-
mary election in 1922 cast a total of
5,635 votes, so that the following let
tiers of course are not complete ex-
preston of the sentiment in that
county, although, presumably, they
do as the writer's must be quite fam

neighbors in the various towns. They
seem to be practically unanimously
in favor of the commission plan and
although they do not change the
opinion of the Review editor on the
matter in the least, we are pleased to
publish them in full for the informa-
ton of Review readers.

cember 81, 1922, Of the principal
forms of wealth, the total amounting
$451 ,996,000 in 1912, an increase of
1908 per cent. Per capita values in
creased from $2,031 to $3,511 or 72.9
per cent.
All classes of property increased in
value from 1912 to 1922, except pri-
vately owned transportation and
transmission enterprises, other than
railroads, which decreased from $751;
9S3, 900 to $30,433, 900 or 1919 per cent.

for the value of motor vehicles, which

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES
JOE SHIRLEY, Editor

The end of the winter quarter this
week finds every student about ten
times as busy as the proverbial worm
in the hot ashes. Although working
to capacity students turned out in
goodly numbers to the tournament on
Friday land Saturday, and the Junior
Prom On Monday evening. More than
ever our teachers in the making arc
learning to. apply the principles of
teaching to their own tasks, to antic-
ipate their work and control their time
accordingly But even then we would
advise the uptown friends to refrain
from using the words "quiz," 'test, !"
"exam.," or "final" in any casual con-
versation they may chance to have
with "stude" until after Friday af-
ternoon. The condition of his friend
ship might be somewhat altered as he
would probably surmise after he
"came to-" as it were. In all serious
ness, however, the concensus Of stu
dent opinion seems to be that there

etc, left undone during the last two
weeks than there appeared to be in

the quarter. The big sigh of relief
will be released soon, that is, as soon
as we learn whether we flunked or
merely "failed" and we will show up
at Sunday school on Sunday with
smiling faces.
The March Seniors received their
diplomas on Thursday. Mr.. T. A..
RiorClan presented the diplomas, and
Rev. H. F. Softley delivered the
"Godspeed" message. The faculty
banquet given them in the domestic
art rooms last Thursday evening was
a success from every angle. Of the
six to graduate four are Normal grad
yates and two high school graduates.
The quarterly system upon which the
school is run enables a student to en-
ter at the beginning of any quarter
and go straight through until he has
finished. This makes four graduations
each year, June, August, Christmas
and March. Since the beginning of
school year in October, there have
been sixteen graduates. Of course the
greater bulk of pupils still enter at
the beginning of the school year, but
those who might have been forced to
The Coconino sun., 1924-03-21

be out on account of financial diff
culties or illness find it a great adj
vantage to be able to register four
times a year instead of two. The ba-
sis of the success of this system is
the opportunity of completing the
Normal course in one and half cal
endar years. The graduates who fin
ished today are; Normal: Bliss Laura
Hopper, Camp Verde; Miss Goldie
Greer, Holbrook; Miss Eugenia Shell
bly,, Flagstaff, and Miss Will Anna
Stevens, Yuma. Some of these are
already teaching, having completed
the last few weeks of their work by
correspondence. The high school
graduates are Miss Annis McGookin
and Miss Laprele Crosby.
Two new cows made their appear
9nce in the Normal barn this week.
They are both Holsteins of high rating
and good milk producers. Since the
herd was started some two months
ago, the entire amount of milk used
in the dining hall has been produced
on the campus. President McMullen
is convinced that there is no better
food than milk and no better way Of
providing constant supply than pro-
ducing it where it is needed. The
cows are also proving to be money
savers for the school.
Two deserving features of the Sat
urday tournament program which
seemed to have received very little
publicity are the Punkville-N. A. N. S.
girls game and the Saturday night
dance. The first named of these was
an awful thriller. Punkville, which
in reality was bunch of the punkest
Normal boys possible (speaking from
the standpoint of basketball) dressed
as femmes, played the very best that
the girls had to offer Hair flew,
garters popped, powder puffs perfum-
ed the air, and gay headbands flut-
tered from the many shinglebobs. The
chowd ha-ha'ed till they almost boo
hco'ed. The girls were fast but the
boys were just awkward enough to be
in the way. Although little attention
was paid to the score Punkville claims
the honors.
The dance which followed the pres
entation of the Normal loving cup to
st. Johns boys and Winslow girls was
The Coconino sun., 1924-03-21

the biggest athletic dance of the year.
If the girls were tired after the six
teen games of the tournament they re-
fused to admit it and the boys did not
even show it. The strains of little
Jazz seemed to rouse in every visitor
heart a new appreciation of the kind
of sportsmanship and fellowship that
N. A. N. S. stands for.
The tournament was decided sue
cess, but let US not forget the gem
erosity of our townsmen, M. l.
Powers and T. E. Pollock, who first
presented the girls and boys loving
cups to Normal in order that Normal
might present them to the respective
champions each year. A school must
win a cup three consecutive times in
order to retain it permanently. The
Winslow girls team has now won the
girls cup two consecutive times and
is determined to add it to the list of
w. H. S. personal property next year.
Mrs. Archambeau visited her
daughter, Alyse, and son Joe over last

will drive in Mrs. Hams new car.
Miss Whetsel, Mr.. Ridgely and Mr..
and Mrs. Bellwood will make up the
concert party which will entertain in
Kingman the latter part of this week.
The Kingnhan people are becoming
real boosters for Normal and are will
ing to pay for N. A. N. S. concerts.
Indications point toward larger en-
rollment from this section of the state
within the near future.
The Camp Fire organization is
about the largest and livest organiza-
tion on the campus. During the re-
cent tournament they made and sold
about thirty dollars worth Of dough-
nuts. Some of us ate so many dough-
nuts we thought our very brains had
holes in them. We have also come
to the conclusion that psychology is
good for a salesman to study. Fran

dence.
The annual junior dance and prom
enade was held in Ashurst auditorium
Friday night. The hall was beauti-

ing started promptly at 900 D. M,

Der. Dancing continued until a late
