states. some of them of the original thirteen, which are worse off than In diana or even New Mexico, the list continuing to slough away till the reader finds himself considering South Carolina, with a per capita expendi- ture of 52 cents and the rank of fifty third.
 The states of smaller per capita ex- renditure than Arizona are in the or der named: New Hampshire, Mary land, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Utah, Iowa, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Del aware New Jersey, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Indian Territory, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, GeoT- gia, Arkansas. North Carolina, Alaba- ma. Mississippi. Alaska, and South Carolina. And there are some pretty creditabIe states in that list too; states that are pcpularly- supposed to possess a fairly cultured citizenhip.
 Here is another view of the Situa- tion It is admitted that Arizona is yet sparsely settled and therefore the aggregate of her business, compara~ lively speaking, is not large. Never theless there are three states and one territory doing less aggregate post office business than Arizona with $249.O17.2O. They are Delaware, $244,- 99S.6S: New Mexico, S23O,03z-57; Wy oming, $199 9,3O1.26; Nevada. s165.004.11.

POSTAL BUSINESS
 AND CIVILIZATION
How Arizona Stands on the Depart
 ment'S Book.

The report of the fourth assistant postmaster general for the year end ing June 90. 1905, contains some very
 interesting data that is very pertinent at this time and affords good read ing for Arizonians. Tn numerous ways
 the postoffice statistics have offered
 showings very creditable to Arizona
 hut this particular report approaches
 the same old subject in a new way.
 That part of it referred to al this
 time contains one table showing the gross receipts of postoffices by states and territories, arranged in order of rank in amount expended per capita
 in use of mails also te whole number
 of postoffices by states and territories and their respective ranks. Fifty-siN states and territories are listed, each
 island country under the flag with the exception of the Philippines, being mentioned.
 The first curious thing to be noted is that the list is headed by Midway
 Island which holds first rank in per capita expenditure, for mails. The req son is that it has but one postoffice, and the few patrons at the telegraph and other government stations on the island are all cultured people Mid way island spends S4.66 per capita an nually for malls.
 Nevada the western state that is laugned at so much, comes second on the list with a per capita expenditure of S3.S7. Whatever may be said of Nevada she has got a shade the best of Washington b. C.. where they only spend S343 per head for mail ser vice That no doubt. includes the great wise congress, too, but congress has a franking privilege under which 1 the capital city can hide as an excuse for its seeming illiteracy.
 The list runs along down to Arizo- ma which is twenty-fifth in point Of rank But that is better than half the states and territories and in mak- ing this calculation it should be re-
 membered that Arizona has some twenty five or thirty thousand Indians that are counted in the population on which the rank is estimated. Few In dians use the mail service so Arizona is therefore carrying a dead weight of
 about one fifth her population, when
 it comes to calculating evidence of
 the territorys citizenship. Rut even
 so, Arizona spends S1.77 per capita for
 mail service, Indians and ali while lit
 tie old Indiana. MT. Beveridge's home
 state, only spends s1.40 per capita at
 the postoffice. has no Indian handicap
 and stands way down to thirty-third
 in point of rank
 But New Mexico is worse than In-
 diana. New Mexico spends only $108
 and is thirty-ninth in point of rank.
 Beside the island possessions and Alaska, there are several of the old
