JACKSONVILLE. Feb. g.
Governor Cones unconditional re-
quest that "two-job" legislators
resign any state jobs they hold
except their legis, alive office, was
highly commended in statement
released here today by the Flor
ida Tax Revision League.
The leagues spokesman said:
During the past few years the
.'two-jobs legislative executive
combine has been developed to
the ponit of virtually multiplying
constitutional government in Flor
ida, and the political trading re-
sulting from this evil has cost the
taxpayers of this state untold mil
IONS"
Governor Cones public state
ment that all legislators are ex-
pected to resign any second job
that they may hold is pleasing
news to taxpayers and should
definitely mean the end of this
UBIQUITOUS practice for the next
four years at least"
1.-THE governors bold action on
this matter is very commendable
and it is our opinion that his stand
on this question has the support
of every member of the legisla-
ture. except, of course, that small
minority whose sole purpose in
public office is TO extract every
possible dollar from the public
treasury, regardless of the public
interest and the state constitution
which they take an oath to up
hold" ss,4--se~@@@

If You Can Or
Think You Can
Paint, Step Up

Announcement was made, yester-
day, by the Rev. E. M. Ward, pastor
here for the Community Church,
that deep-seated plan has been
laid for the painting or repaintng
of the edifice.
He very wisely announced, also,
that there will be eats for the
toilers.
The plan, really, is a most laud-
able one, and the edifice is really
to be painted, or we might say, re-
painted.
If you are painter, or the son
or daughter of painter, you are
supposed to meet other sons and
daughters Of painters at the
church grounds at 1 p. M, Satur-
day, March 20, and help paint or
repaint the edifice.
All painters and sons and daugh-
ters of painters answering this
command are expected to be fully
equipped with overalls (white pre-
ferred) one or more paint brushes
that are rubber set so their false
hair will not fall out and streak the
building, and enough money to buy
one gallon of paint-better hurry,
paints goin' up every night,-so get
there before the next advance.
Seriously speaking, the Rev. Mr..
Ward really does want the com
munity Church edifice repainted.
and this hint should be sufficient
and really attractive, since eats are
promised.

Three days later the secretary of

construction of the dam halted.
Until the respective rights of the
state have been determined, there
shall be no invasion of Arizona's

Governor Moeur left office the Ari-
zona side of the Colorado river,
where Parker dam is being built,
remained under martial law.
DR.. Moeur had many fraternal
connections. He was a member of
the Odd Fellows, Masons, Shrine,
Ellls, Modern Woodmen of the
World and Knights of Pythias.
The Moeurs lived at the samc
home in Tempe during all their
residence in that community, pur-
chasing the original "two-room
house" and lot at "a East Seventh
street for $780, Remodeled several
times, the dwelling today is a spac.
ious brick residence.
In the early days DR.. Moeur was
a horse and buggy" physician, and
it is recalled, to his credit, that he
never failed to respond to human
suffering, even when he knew the
patient nor his family were able to
remunerate him.
Surviving are Mrs. Moeur and the
three children, Ben. jr., Vyvyan Ber-
nice (Mrs. Parmelee) and Jessie
Belle (Mrs. Hamilton). The death
2Ha years ago of DR.. John Moeur,
another son, was a heavy blow to

School spirit is more than sup

is only one Of the many ways to
show school spirit. 1t is more i'm
portant that we should go to classes
rather than plan to cut them. You
should respect the school build
ing the same as you do your home;
the teachers as you would your

in the drinking foundation and

there are baskets in both halls. 1t
