A Proposed Unnecessary Expenditure

Arizona's sorey pressed taxpayers are to be
saddied with another unnecessary expenditure, and
time when conditions are the worst III the history
Of this state if the State Board Of Education has its
way
Every day since May 5th legal notice signed by
H. E. Hendrix, secretary Of the board, has BEEN ap-
pearing in the Arizona Republic OF Phoenix calling
for Sealed proposals for textbooks for the common
schools Of Arizona, said notice declaring that bids
are invited for textbooks to cover biographies in the
elementary schools According to the notice the bids
are to be opened OH June 9Th.
The International is Informed that the cost Of
these books would be III the neighborhood OF S3oO00
This means that the State Board Of Education would
spend $4,000 of public funds at this time simply to
make change in the biographies used in the public
schools
The State Board of Education and Mr. Hendrix,
who is State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
should explain to- the taxpayers what is the matter
with the biographies now used If any OF the books
are worn out they could be replaced at very small
sum of money There is no excuse for spending $50,
900 now for an entire new set OF biographies.
The proposal to change textbooks during these
hard times when the state is just about broke is the
most ridiculous thing we have heard Of ia long time.
Such an act should not be allowed at time when peo
pie in Arizona are starving to death for want OF funds
with which to buy food If $4,000 can be scraped up
for textbooks why not it to better advantage.
Food for the unemployed and their families is of far
more Importance than any change in textbooks.
The international is informed that the people In
general are against this proposed expenditure by the
State Board Of Education and know, too, that Gov
ernor Moeu' is against it.
The State Board Of Education should refrain
from making such an expenditure at least until times
get better There should be no change in textbooks
any other unnecessary expenditures by school or 9TH
er public officials. during the depression The old
biographies should be continued in use until the state
gets back on its feet.

The Outlook For Peace

That Europe has been for the past two years on
the verge of another has been one OF the things
which has delayed recovery from the world wide de-
preston Everyone familiar with the subject has
pointed out that before there be any real econ
onic adjustment nations must cease trying to rival
each other in arguments
Now it begins to look as if real disarmament
were at hand The three men who hold the greatest
power in the world have agreed upon it. They are
President Roosevelt of the United States Of America
Chancellor Hitler Of the German Republic and Pre-
ner Mussolini Of the Kingdom of Italy Each OF these
men is today in very real sense, the 'boss OF his
country
Roose! cit spoke first when he addressed an
Identical message to every Of the 54 nations OF
the world urging them all to agree to abolish often
siye3 weapons and limit themselves to defensive ar
lnament: further to agree to send an armed
force across their borders for purposes ofaggression
The whole world applauded. Then Hitler spoke
With President Roosevelt's message before him he
declared that Germany asked no more than to be re-
cognized as equal among the nations, and that she
did not dream Of ask for anything more than
the right to defend herself.
Now it was Mussolinis turn. The leader Of Italy
lied conference of representatives of Great Bri-
tain, France, Germany and his country, and, to-
the surprise Of the world they agreed unequvocaly
more to the point to engage in war in Europe for
at least ten years!
That leaves Japan as the only nation threaten
ing world peace Japan has withdrawn from the Lea
que Of Nations President Roosevelts messageto the
nations suggested the economic boycott Of any nation
which should persist in aggressive war. What.
may come Of that We cannot guess but we feel Ger
tain that the cloud of impending war, which threat
ened the safety of the whole world, has been lifted

Looking Forward

Business is starting up again That is clear and
definite Men are looking ahead and not backwards
And it is our belief that going ahead into bet
ter times than We have ever known. That has been
the history of every past recovery. The deeper the
DEPRESSION the higher the heights reached after the
depression has been passed.
Don't ask us how it is going to be accomplished
We have little patience with people who want precise
plans and specifications before they will believe that
things can be done There element of faith which
is after ALL the chief moving force in human affairs
and at the moment people reganing faith in the
future OF their country at rate which surprises
We hear many different explanations of how
things will be done Under the New DEAF We've nev-
er seen human project work as planned But we
too have faith We can't explain lot of things which
we have to take faith Don't ask us to explain ra-
clio or teleyision or even talking pictures We don't
have to explain them There they And we believe
i0lis civilization than we have ever known Please
don't ask AS to explain that, either. Pretty soon
are sure everybody will be able to see it.
Nobody has ever been able to stop an Edison or
q Ford or Marconi There are hundreds Of young
Edisons just waiting their chance to startle the world
Some Of them will turn everything of today upside
down. as their predecessors did.
We are going to have new economic order, be-
yond doubt; but IL it results in giving everybody a
chance to buy the things he wants. isn't it going to be
better than system which does not provide custom
ers enough for what we produce?
We really believe that the young people of this
day are justified in looking ahead to time when any
human being who really wants anything can have it..
And that's "somepn," as Andy says -. \

march to world circus supremacy
is definitely scheduled to exhibit in

among the almost countless new
features Of the Golden Jubilee gala
performances is the most magnif-
cent opening spectacle ever pro-
duced by this colossus among

authentic and dazzling reproduc-
ton of The Durbar, the world fam
Gus coronation ceremonial at Delhi,
India. The Ringing Bros and
Barnum & Bailey Pageantry, opu-
lent and staggering in its immens-
ity, employs over 1000 people and
animals, including fifty elephants
in gem-studded coronation robes
and lavish headdresses. East In
dian Marimbo and British Imperial
foot guard bands, scores of festival
tongas, bearing rajahs and ranees,
will be in the van of the pageant.
Vying with the resplendent impress
siveness of The Dubar is the most
unusual and weird importation that
even The Greatest Show on Earth
ever brought out of the Orient
the Royal Paraung giraffe-neck
women from Burma. These strange
oriental women, with their incred-
IDLY long necks encircled with
brass and copper rings, carrying
sixty pounds of copper ornaments
on their arms and legs, are unbe-
lievably aloof from all mankind.
The rings, soldered upon their
necks, are constantly superimposed
from infancy until maturity, until
these sloe-eyed oriental beauties
resemble nothing so much as the
giraffe. Never was so sensational

formance of the Ringing Bros. and
