The Remains Will Be Shipped East
 the Latter Part of the Week.

F. C. Jones died at his home on East 7th street Saturday evening at $40 o'clock. For some time past MT. Jones has been in a critical condition and his death was not unexpected.
 The remains were embalmed night before last and were shipped to Phoe- nix yesterday morning. There they will be held until the affairs of the family are so adjusted that it will be possible for Mrs. Jones and Mir. Jones parents to accompany them east where they will be inferred. probably at the family home in Peoria. Illinois.
 MT. and Mrs. Jones came to Arizona from Peoria early winter before last; they spent several months in Phoenix. coming to Tempe in April. A short time after arriving here they purchas- ed the Harry Walker home on 7th street, which place has been their res idence ever since. MT. Jones parents came here this winter and have been with their son during his final illness A short time ago it was seen that there was no possible hope of Mir. Jones' re- covery and his brother. Charles Jones of Chicago. was sent for. He arrived here the morning of his brothers death.

lie utilities TO pay about the same state
tax in 1907 as they had in 1904, but
reduced the state taxes OF the farm
er, the merchant and the working
man 100000 per year. This was one
OF the first fruits OF the tax Laws.
Now. how was this done? How Is |
the $521,000 annual state tax, which
has been taken from the shoulders OF
the farmer, the merchant and the
worlSlngman, made up2 SF'rom what
source does the state get the neces-
sary revenue to make this good?
This Is secured from a number of III
cense and special privilege laws: for
instance the state liquor license vas
$3.50 in 1904, then increased to $500
in 1905, and. in 1907 TO $500. This
means an additional revenue to the
state OF about $250.000 annually.
AS a part OF the tax reform meas
ures the. Republican party abolished
the payment of fees to state officials.
This law went into effect In 1905. and
as a result the state has received In
fees from the auditors office. $t09.-l
sos and from the secretary of state's
Office S6S.47S.S3, and from the STATUE
tory attorney fee law. $S3,453.

has turned 4 great deal of money
into the state treasury from corpora
tons ana individuals who formerly
escaped taxes. In 1907. through this.
Office alone. over 100000 came into
the state treasury most OF which could
not have been collected under the
old system. One small example.
Take the law governing the license
of public shows. From July l., 1905
to July /. 1904, the last year prior to-
the creation of the tax commissioners
office. there was collected in the way
of license tax from this source. 3d.

law, S9,SS2.t6, an increase in 1905 OF
s5,935.S2. This was under the same

years, the difference being that the

the Capitol Annex about $4,000 ad-

Two new buildings at the Hunt

OF public institutions. In the last
twelve years over two millions of
dollars have been expended for per-
mnnent improvements to public in-i
situations, almost as much as Govern
or MacCorkie claims were appropri-
ated by the legislature for all pur-
poses during his term Of office.
Still the Democrats in this cam
paign, insincere and inaccurate az
usual, claim that more building was
done under MacCorkles rule than in
the last twelve years. The truth Is,
more than four times as much build
ing. has been done in the last twelve
years. as in any preceding five years.
Education Provided For.
The Republican party believes in
providing the means of education for
the people of the State. 1t establish
ed the great system of education for
the whole people. the public free
schools. When 1t turned over the
reins to the Democratic party II,
1871, the free school system was well
established. There was quarter OF
a million dollars in the irreducibie
fury the Democratic party increased
that fund from a quarter of a mill
lion to about sSS4,Gs2.25. an increase
of 100000. When the irreducible
school fund was limited by constitu-
tional amendment, in 1902, the Re-
publican party in little over SIX
years had added about 100000 to
that fund. bringing 1t up to s1.104,-
412.69. Under the Republican party
nearly half as much was added in five
years as under the Democratic party
in n quarter OF q. century.
When the free school system was
established under the Republican
party the minimum school term was
fixed at four months. No increase in
that term was made by the Demo-
Gratis in quarter of century. Un-
der the Republican party the mini
mum term has been increased fifty
per cent. to six months term. The
average term of all schools including
Independent and graded schools is
actually nearly seven months.
