Commissioner Boehmer have person
ally secured the services of an expert
to work the problem out-and for
that the people owe these two public
spirited citizens much, indeed.
The very act of finding out the ac-
tual conditions and the remedies
whether the remedies are adopted or
not, is a fine, constructive piece of
public-spirited work on the part of
these two officials
Phoenix must have a street railway
system. 1t ought to be municipality
owned and operated. 1t ought to be
removed from political interferences
and manipulation. 1t ought to deliver
the service of transportation to the
citizens at cost and the franchise to
the city's streets should be kept by
the city-and if Mayor Jefferson and
Commissioner Boehmer and their ex-
pert can figure out a plan to do that
without increasing taxes-Ehe two
officials deserve to be reelected with
out opposition and the whole city
should get whole heartedly behind
them.
And neither Mayor Jefferson nor
Commissioner Boehmer can be charg-
ed with loose promises in the past
They are able cautious officials who
ponder we'll what they promise-and
the people will await with intense
interest the announcement of the
new plan for the rehabilitation and
refnancing of the street railway.

known quickly. We do want these
fine highway sand bridges and these
magnificent school buildings. So,
then, instead of criticizing high taxes,
why not all pull together, get more
people in to use the roads and the
school houses and help pay the taxes?
Ten times as many people could
use the highways as are now using
them Our school buildings could
h use many more pupils than are
now using them. Yet, if we had ten
times the number of people in Arizona
to use these highways and these
school buildings, and if We could di-
vide the present tax rate by ten
there would be no high tax rate to be
complained of.
Let us be fair. Let us not arouse
lot of agitation for political pur-
poses, get the people of Arizona dis
contented, and impress upon the out
side world that we are a state of high
taxes and poor government. That is
not the way to get more taxpayers
to come to Arizona to live Let us
talk of our good roads and our mag
nificent school houses, of the rare
opportunities they afford, as an in.
ducement to others to come to this
State, help pay the taxes and share
the roads and the scenery, the eli
mate and the schoolhouses.
OF course We want low taxes--but
we also want a comfortable, modern
convenient method of travel and edu
cation.
OF course we do not want the pub
lie moneys wasted-neither do we
want always to drive through sand
instead of on asphalt, or to have oul
children deprived of sanitary environ
ment in school plants to the retarda
tion of their mental and educationa
development.
So instead of shrieking high taxes
let us send the clarion call of goot
roads, good climate, good schoo
houses, good people.

Wonder of Nature Is
Vision GiUer1 to Birds

The vision of birds is an amazing
thing. A vulture soaring almost out
Of view sees carcass lying perhaps
in a quite inconspicuous position; a
kestrel lowering at height of 100
feet, spies a mouse creeping about in
the grass; gannet cruising round 200
feet above the sea observes fish
swimming some distance below the
surface, says w. W. White, in the
Nineteenth Century Magazine.
The gannet's sight is by no means
the least remarkable among keen-eyed
birds, for it has to penetrate water a.
well as air. A gannet's hurtle on fist
beneath we'll expresses the action. A,
once it checks it's flight, poises for {;
second, half closes it's wings. and dives
with tremendous speed. There is &
curious corkscrewlike motion In tn
downward swoop, and at the momen
Of entering the water the long, pointed
wings are folded

THE SPIRIT OF THE SMALL
TOWN

What gives town it's character?
Some towns are all of kind, with
out character. You ride out of one
and into another, and carry away no
distinct impression of any on the
mind. Then you strike one that has
atmosphere. Something indefinable
arrests you and you feel instinctively
that this is good place to live.
What makes the difference?
If We knew that, we could tell ex-
actly how to make a town grow, for
the surest thing in life is the fact
that a town grows by attracting peo-
pie to come and settle down in it.
What is it that makes one town grow.
while an adjoining town dies at the
top?
Did you ever go into a small town,
total stranger, and walk down it's
main street about eight o'clock in
the morning, when the spring sun
shine was just beginning to warm
things up and was throwing long
shadows across the doorways where
the business men were bustling about
the preparatory duties of the day?
And did you ever experience that
happy feeling that comes with a smile
and good-humored nod that says
more plainly than words: Good
morning, stranger! It's a good old
world to be alive in
What if the storekeeper does hap
pen to be only a small town trades
man? You feel your own importance
the more. If the owner of the big
dry goods store next door also speaks
friendly greeting, and the town
banker exchanges mods with you you
are set up for the day. The petit
ness of hustling for trade all fades
into the background; the town takes
on new interest; from that day you
carry memory of a happy little
hometown, the kind of a place you
would like to move to.
To create a spirit of friendIiness
is more efficient in building up a
town than it is to put on the great
est advertising campaign ever de-
vised.

Seeks to Enjoi, Bond
Issue for Stadium

A permanent injunction against the
county supervisors prohibiting them
from selling the $4,000 of bonds re-
Gently voted for the building of the
Phoenix Union high school stadium,
was asked for in a petition filed III
the Maricopa county superior court
by Attorney ]. L. B. Alexander, aCt
ing for himself, 2nd by Attorney Viii!
E. Ryan, of counsel for the State
Taxpayers Association. Judge Joseph
S. Jenckes issued a temporary in
junction under a bond for $1,000 un-
til the application may be heard Tues
day, Feb. 23.
The petition alleges as cause for
the injunction, that so of the votes
cast were illegally cast by persons
who were not taxpayers of the school
district, had not paid in their own
name tax on property within the dis
trict other thin poll, road or school
tax during the past year. AS there
was OIly d uldJOI1Iy VI a NOIOS CdSI
for these bonds, the petition then de-
ducts that the bonds were not legally
voted.
The petition also sets forth that
bonds may not legally be voted for a
stadium, as the high school board on
ly has authority to raise money for
the purchasing or leasing of school
lots, school houses and to supply
school furniture and apparatus to
school houses. The contention IS
then elaborated in the petition that
a stadium is not school building and
within the meaning of thelaw, is net
thing contemplated for school pur-
poses.
The petition in this connection says
"a stadium is not a school house but
is merely a place for holding and ex-
hibiting athletic sports and merely a
sdeshow to the school, and in no way
promotes or tends to advance the
mental education of the pupils. The
issuance of these bonds was unau-
thorized by law. If the bonds are is.
sued and sold it will be without the
authorization of law"

TAXES IN ARIZONA

The anti-Hunt section of the Ari-
zona state Press is agitating the
question of high taxes. The Arizona
Republican of recent issue voices a
particularly bitter complaint against
mounting taxes, and lays the respon-
sibility therefor upon the shoulders of
the Governor.
1t is not surprising, of course, that
the Republican should complain of
high taxes. Neither is it surprising
that that estimable newspaper should
seek to lay the responsibility for high
taxes on the shoulders of Governor
Hunt
But it is somewhat surprising that
a newspaper as well-conducted as the
Republican should accidentally or
otherwise overlook the basic principle
underlying taxation in Arizona as well
as in other states.
It is always a simple matter to
find ult-particularly when the
pathfinder proposes no remedy for
the fault he complains Of Criticism
is easy for anyone, but constructive
criticism is the only helpful sort, and
constructive criticism not only goes
to the fundamentals of the fault or
flaw it criticizes, but it finds and
points out the remedy, a practical
remedy. If the newspapers criticizins
the governor and high taxes in the
same breath would point out wherein
the governor could lower taxes in a
practical way without depriving the
people of some public utility which
| the people demand then those news
papers might have some ground for
honestly criticiZing state executive
who would not follow the course
pointed out and remedy the evil COM
planned Of
Taxes are high in Arizona. Also
the highways are good in Arizona.
The school system is the best in Ari-
zona. The character of buildings is
excellent, surprisingly so, in Arizona.
The bridges are safe and good in
Arizona
Nobody likes hiah taxes, but every
body likes good highways, good
school systems, good school buildings
and good, safe bridges. 1t is all well
and good for the newspapers to criti-
clze the tax rate of Arizona as being
the highest Of any state in the Union
but, in all fairness. why do these
critics not also mention that the
school system and the school build
'ngs of Arizona are the highest and
finest from standpoint of efficiency
and construction of any state in the
Union?
Arizona is a state OF vast territory
and comparatively few people, If the
people of Arizona want good high
Ways-the people of Arizona must pay
for those highways. If we want
highways which equal those of New
York State or Of California-those
highways are going to cost money.
And if few people, comparatively
speaking, want highways which the
71ore populous districts of the East
can afford the few people are going
% have to pay, per capita, more for
he privilege than the many.
We have highways and school
buildings in Arizona equal to those
n more populous parts of the coun-
-ry-and we are having to pay for
hem. If the people did not want
>hese highways and these school
'uil1ings, the people would make il
