efficiency. Most of our administra- tive defects can be cured by legis IatiVe action. The administrati tive side of the government represents but a fraction of the total cost. Tt is the act rather than the supervision of the act that makes for expense.
 The changes advocated have been for efficiency rather than the cutting of salaries among minor officials. Tie conditions that led up to the criticism to which Analyst offers ob-
 iection, are cited on page 13 of the third annual report of the state aud itor of Arizona transmitted to the goveruor September 15, 1914, and brief extract would not be out of place
 If we are to>guard against a heri- tage of bankruptcy the time has come to avail ourselves of sober thought, and to realize that we should learn the lesson of government from those older states, which have been i taught thelr lesson in the school of experience Since Arizona became q state expense of government has in creased more than 200 per cent, while the increase in population has not been greater than perhaps 15 per cent.

the state $712,7 ,795, while what IS called the protection division expend- ed in 1914 over $2,000,000 in caring for certain state parks and places of historical interest, owned by the, state These are a few of the many gov ernment activities in which these old CT and richer states engage, and in support of which is expended the revenue derived from direct taxation Conditions appear to warrant these activities in older states, but such conditions do not exist in Arizona, hence there is no demand for such activities, yet We appear to pay under Analysts, a somewhat misleading statement, an extremely high rate of taxation.
 It is potent to all that we pay in many instances a fairly good salary to three men, where one man could do the work, that all contingent and travelling expenses are ridicuously high. It is especially potent that any intending investor would quickly be impressed with that fact and would take his money elsewhere for investment. We all know that very little money has been invested in this state during the last three years. Why? Because of certain constitu- tional and administration defects that must be remedied in order to bring about a healthfui condition l blame 20 man or individual It is a condi- ton due to constitutional and legis- lative eXceSSes.
 No citizen of this state has any Gesire to create wrong impression or cause to be spread abroad any report that would hamper the growth or development of Arizona. but quot ong from page 30 report of Arizona's state tax commission for the year 1914. Intelligent criticism by the public is the one and only constant curative and prevention of the evils of the body polite" The same de- partment severely criticizes page 31) the present methods in vogue in other departments of the state
 This agitation for greater eff ciency at reduced cost in matters of state is not confined to Arizona In l913-1914 commissions or commit tees were appointed by the execu- tive or by legislative bodies in p different states to inquire into and study the causes that lead up to the ever increasing cost of government and to suggest such legislation as would make for greater economy and

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
FIGURES OF THE OTHER SIDE

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir:
 The well-meant efforts of your contributor, who signs himself Ana l3 st." are somewhat garoled as to facts and very misleading as to figures.
 To begin with, he estimates Ari- zon's population at 30OO0O or 4.500 above the mark set by the tax com mission n last years report. Report of School Census Marshals in Green lee county for the years 1914-1915:
 Children of school age, 1914, 4,34S:
 1915 S,530; decrease SOP. Clifton
 district 1914, f,703; 1915, 1.170; de- crease 532.
 This is the only county in the state from which l have been able to secure official figures. l was in 1 formed by the superintendent of schools for Maricopa county that the ( oensus in Maricopa county showed an increase of less than 200 children
 of school age. This would indicate
 that the states population has fallen
 short of "Analyst's natural increase" It is puzzlipg to find where the Analyst" got his transformation, as for instance, in quoting Minnesota s per capita tax at 9.13. l find on pages l9O-191 of the Minnesota tax commission report for 1914, after de- Gucting the revenues derlved from in heritance tax, that the total per capita cost measured by receipts from taxation general property, gross earn ings and other lien taxes, represent irg the contributions made by the people of this state for state govern niSnt and state action is in mime sota only $5.S2, instead of 9.13 as of fered by Analyst.
 Referring to report of comptroller for the state of New York in 1914, we find that the state expended in sup port of charitable institutions and functions, the sum of S3,246,415, while Indiana expended for like purposes over S750,000, including maintenance of tuberculosis hospital, village for epileptics, soldiers and sailors home, orphans home. etc. New York's de- fensive division of state government. including state and naval militia cost
