STATE
 COMES HIGH
It Will Cost $7OO,OOO More to Run It Than the Ex- penses Were Under the Territorial Form of Gov ernment

It is becoming evident that statehood at all events statehood in it's infancy, is a rather expensive proposition
 You wait until the extent of the appropriations made by this legislature are footed up and you will bp sur prised," Senator Sims, of COchise coun-
 ty, said to The Republican just after the adjournment of the special session
 It was on this ground that Sims justi-
 fled his opposition to some of the ap-
 prOpriation bills
 And, to tell the truth, there is some
 element of surprise in the present if
 nancial situation. For it will cOs51
 Arizona half a million dollars more t0
 run it's government this year than it
 did last year. In other words it cost about $70O,000 last year; and this year | it will cost $1,2O0,OO0
 In fact, it will cost more than that. That sum represents the known ap- prOpriatiOnS. But it will be recalled some bills were passed that, while providing for appropriations, did not mention specific sums. Just how much i these bills carry cannot be told at this | time.
 But ttis is known-the expenses have jumped from $70O,O 900 to $1,200,O0O. which is an increase of more than Fl | per cent.
 | But after all there is some balm Tn | Gilead. It will not be nearly so bad as | it looks, the officials say. The expense | to the average citizen will be kept | down because the assessments on rail- 1 road and mining property have been
 raised. It is believed that the tax rate | will be very little higher than last year 1 It is now found that the estimated
 valuation on all property in the state was placed too low. It was believed a 1 few days ago that it would reach $780, 1 900, ,00O. 7 he truth is it will come neac-
 CT $1S0, 900.
 l Suppose it is $175,O0O000 that would ] make a rate approximately 70 cents on | the hundred dollars. It was 65 cents 1 last year.
 The amount to be expended on roads 1 this year is $25000O The road rate
 will be about 15 cents on each $100.

Heffner moved his forty in April He has thirty acres in alfalfa and has already cut in the neighbOrhood of 16O tons of hay, which he has stored. The next crop will be a seed one. and Heffner and Smith are confident that it will net them fully sixty dollars an acre. Heffner paid $6,OOO for his land.

The disease carrying fly, the mos

mating these insects are being sought
and tried out.
That electricity may step In as a
benefactor in this field Is quite pos

rious devices are pointing the way.
An electric insect exterminator just
placed on the market is simple in prin.

insulating cylinder upon which fine
wires are strung so close together that
insects In alighting upon them will
come in contact with at least two
charged wires. To attract insects
at night a light Is placed within the
cylinder. Moths and other insects fly
against the netting, complete the cleo.

are charged from an induction coil
