SCHOOL
TEXT BOOKS

When the state administration came
into power 1t found the school book
question in iumbled. and to the pub
ic. q very expensive proposition. All
Hinds of books sold at all kinds OF
prices were being used throughout the
tate. Frequent changes in systems
we're common and the public paid the
1ils. says one who has compiled fig
rres.
For Instance, we will suppose a man
rad ur children in school, in the first,
fourth, sixth aud ninth grades, respec
lively. A low estimate on the cost of
he books at the then prevalent prices
would have been sixteen dollars.
hange of system would have meant
practically dead loss OF this amount
@ there was no system ( exchange
he removal to another county or town
meant probably the same thing This
arrangement cost the public thousands
Il dollars annually. The text book
mmission under the present admin
istrauon have done away with this and
have established N uniform system
throughout the state. Better books
with better binding and better con
tents have been adopted, and at fixed
and reduced price. This price must be
printed on every book. A uniform ex-
change price was made. This eX-
change is NOT limited to grades. You
can exchange first reader at 1ne-half
its original price for a second or third
reader, or a fourth grade reader for a
ilfth grade, etc.
1t has been misstated by the opposi-
ton that these books are too high
priced Let us compare prices with
n Sc in general use before the change
and those in use now. Lack of space
prevents the naming of the books, but
we will quote the price for an equal
ndmber ana grade of books Tor each
year

STATE AGENCY REMAINS.

such case he had no opportunity to ex

piled TO the voter on he ballot tIat ie

tuition sh uld operate ~ n vole in ia
vor of the repeal Of the present dispen
sary law.
II has been suggested that though the
repeal of said article one was not sub
mltted to the people under the referen.
DUN provision OF the Constitution. yet
that the legislature had the right
provide for It's repeal to take effect
upon the happening of a contingency
the contingency IN this CO sc being ihe
casting OF a majority vote against the
proposed amendment TO the Honstltu
ton II Is true that the legislature
may pass an act g. take cftec. npon
the happening Of some future event On
contingency, but such contingency On
which a law may be made to take Ell
feet, must be such as in the judgment
Of the legislature affects the question
of the expediency of the law. an event
on which the expediency OF the law 10
the judgment Of the lawmakers, de
pends On this question Ct expedieney
the legislature must exercise its owl
Judgment; 1t can not shirk that respoa
/ sibility by resting It upon the judg
ment Of any other man or set of men
even though that be the entire peOpl'
of the State. Aside from the operation
! the initiative and referendum, tho
people can neither enact nor repeal O
law. But as we have seen, they were
given no opportunity to vote upon ih'
repeal of this law, and hence il fol
lows that the law has not been re
pealed.
The state Agency, therefore, as i

Death of Post Master
DiveIbeSS.

On Sunday afternoon the peo.
pie of Holbrook, were shocked
and astOnished to learn that our
much honored and much esteem
ed, Postmaster L. E. D1velbess
was dead of his own hand At
first this could not be believed
for no cause can be understood
for the rash act. MA *
He held the office of County
Commissioner for eight years
and for the past eleven years had
been postmaster at this place.
He was always so pleasant and
accommodating, SO sunny and
CHEEKY. His pleasant smile, his
hearty hand shake, and his
cheerful Good morning." has
for so long been an inspiration
for the despondent to continue
the DAVIS work and to fight the
battles of life, and now at his
old home he lies cold and dead,
and the friend we so loved and
respected will be seen no more.
The whole of the community
now grieve as for lost dear
one, and each and every one of
us point with pride to the fact
that he called us friend Now all
that is left is the cOronOr's YER
dict, the funeral, and the open
grave.
Mr.. Divelbess was born in
Stueben County, Indiana, in
1851, moved to Kansas IN 1870,
and in 1875 to California. In 1884
he came to Arizona and has re-
sided here since that date.
Four children survive HIM, L.
D., J. H. and Ezrs, and a daugh-
ter residing in California. Mr..
Divelbess was member of
