school lands which can command a price will rent for more than would be realized by selling them and putting lthe money out at interest, and on some sections the rent would increase from year to year, making continual in- crement to the school fund which would be of great benefit to the tax payers. Notably would this be true of school lands adjacent to growing towns. THE OASIS recalls one section adjoining the Grand Avenue addition to Phoenix which will in few years be city property; and when Phoenix reaches a population Of 75,0OO, which it will surely do in the near future, the entire section will be choice town property, the annual revenue from which will yield ten times the sum for which it would now sell. The people of Arizona all have an interest in that section, and it should be handled 10 their best interest. It is every plain that to lease it would bring the school fund a far greater and an increasing revenue than to sell it now.
 The school funds of many of the older states have protited greatly by leasing their school lands instead of selling them. Leasing was the system adopted by Illinois and Colorado, and today those states derive more in a single year from leases of their lands than they would have realized for capital to put out at interest had they sold them when the government first passed title to the state. Two full sections now included in the most valuable portions of Denver and Pueblo yield annual rentals Of many thousands of dollars, and in Chi cago the great Rookery building, the ine structure of the Chicago Tribune and numerous other elegant business palaces stand on school section, the ground rents from which yield the

When Illinois received title to that school section from the general government it would have sold for one dollar and quarter an acre eight hundred dollars and no more. The annual interest on eight hundred dollars would not have exceeded eighty dollars per annum, and would have more probably been forty-eight dollars. The Chicago Tribune alone pays forty thousand per annum ground rent, and all the other lessees on the section in like or greater proportiou. While Arizona has no prospect for a Chicago at Phoenix, her school fund has right to the increment arising from the growth in value of the school section there located, and such similar sec tions wherever they may be.
