RAY AND GILA VALLEY
 TAX SUIT SUBMITTED

Final arguments in the tax suit
 brought by the Ray and Gila Valley
 railroad company against the state tax
 concluded at Florence yesterday morn
 ing and the case was submitted to
 Judge Otis J. Baughn at noon. As
 both sides were given fifteen days in
 which to file briefs, an early decision
 in the case is not expected. Judge Edward Kent of Chalmers, Kent and Stahl made the final argu- ment for the plaintiff company. He stated that the valuation fixed by the commission was unjust and excessive, and argued that the physical valuation should be substituted. He was fol- | lowed by Leslie C. Hardy, assistant at torney general, who argued that the companY's intangible values, as re- flected in it's enormous earnings, Were plainly taxable on the ground that the statutes gave the commission power to assess intangible values.
 The members of the tax commission,
 Assistant Attorney General Hardy, Chalmers, Kent and Stahl and others
 from Phoenix who attended the case, returned to the city on the afternoon train
 There is no excitement at Florence over the decision of the pardon board" said Assistant Attorney General Hardy last evening, "and the prospect of five executions before the end of the month ! is causing little comment The people are taking the affair as a matter of course

CA It will be noticed that most of the states for which statistics are here given have lower per capita ex- penditure than Arizona The fact that I quote these figures will. no doubt seem strange to your readers and especially so to the newspapers which have misrepresented our state but l have two reasons for the put ting in of states, no matter whether their per capita expense is smaller than ours or not. One of these req sons is that l have what, perhaps. IS an exaggerated sense of honesty and fair play, and a desire to give the papers referred to a square deal. even though they have attempted to give our state a black eye in the eyes of tne nation. My other reason is that l wanted to get before the public the cost of education for each pupil in our state, and to show that while our state is the only one in the union. as far as I have been able to ascertain, to have the free text book system,-the cost of each puDil per annum and the cost per capita to the population of Arizona com pares favorably with that of other states having many times Arizona's population, and being many years older, notwithstanding the fact that one of her officials stated in his re- port that certain figures showing cost of education in few of her coun- | ties are not approxmated in any other state of the union. I have shown in previous communication, however. that in at least one other state the highest figure quoted by ] the official referred to, was exceeded by about 25 per cent I appreciate the spirit of justice l and fair play which you have shown in so freely granting to me the use of your columns in my endeavor to render abortive an attempt to injure

EXPENDITURES OF STATES

 states. the first of which was promp-
 ted by the comparisons made by cer-
 tain newspapers of AriZona's eXpen-
 ditures with those of other states, in
 which Arizona was given all the worst of it by reason of the Tact ] that her 1914 expenses were figured on her population as given by the United States census of 1910, and the expenses of the few other care fully selected states were figured on their increased population. Arizona's per capita expenses being given as $lI76 instead of the $7.S0 as 1t should have been, I present here sta tistics of some of the large eastern and central states, which are as fol- lows:
