Arizona end New Mexico

The El Faso Times has instituted compar- son between the states of Arizona and New Mexico. In respects, it is unfavorabe to this state, but one. the balance is in our favor. The reVe- pues of Arizona have been increased since admis- son 15O per cent, that total of $2,2'o0oo was collected The revenues of New Mexico, with population twice US large raised only SIS1377S5o. Arizona and New Mexico granted the same area of public land under the enabling act and from this source New Mexico derlves four times as much revenue Arzona
 Arizona has decreased it's 45 per cent. in three years but it has increased it's assessments .3G per during the period, until the per capita tax is $7. is stated what changes have been made in the New Mexican rate and assessments, but the per capita of that state is only $5.
 We must admit that fu the balance very much in favor of New Mexico in the conduct Of government If the Times had ended it's conpari- aon here. the showing would have been humiliat- inc to us. and il must he extent any hoN But in the further comparison appear to better advantage. It is stated that the of the New Mexico schools is less than go per capita, cording to the school census while the Times has heard that the per capita cost of Arizona schools is $Go. We think the latter figure is too high though perhaps it is not far from the correct one The average cost of schools is raised by the expenditures of the rural districts where, have shown, m one district ill this county the per capita cost last year exceeded $lOO. In the towns tbe is much lower; in Phoenix, for instance, believe it is S57
 But it is not to the credit of state to Haunt the fact that the per capita cost of it's schools is less than SEQ. That is sign of ical administration, but sign of the mal-admins- tration of the chief institution of state.
 That much of the money whic spend for education is certainly wasted if it poured into a hole know to be fact, but assured that bill will be introduced into the leg salure shortly to stop this waste and to provide for the administration of the school fund by business methods
 Sixty dollars per capita is too much, but be that figure and the parsimonious less than $2O of New Mexico would choose the former and permit the waste to continue.

GEO, H. CHASE

Senator Chase the venerable solon from Gfecnlcc, has had lengthy and varied career. While his memory does not extend back to the Flood, his father was well acquainted with
 Noah who told him ali the details
 So lt may be safely said he is more thoroughly conversant with condi- tons If that period than any man
 now living
 Glasses boyhood was spent in com
 parativc quiet and the first heard of
 him was when he headed demo- cratic ticket under the Julius Caesar administration. Rome and all her
 possessions became too small for Mir
 Chase and Caesar So Chase left for
 Egypt to fin contract with the
 ieignine Pharoah for the construe-
 tion of pyramid and some rcstora-
 ton work on the sphinx After com
 pletins this work he organized tho
 United order of Pyramid Builders
 Union, but becoming i'll on the day the committee presented the wage
 scale he lived to enrich posterity.
 MT Chase then travcled extensively and finally settled in England and lived retired life until having . political difference with Charles II he cmigrated to America. having formed a" attachment for if on q previous voyage with Columbus. He
 became H missionary and travelled from tribe to tribe converting the Indians a. la Captain smith until the Revolution broke out in 1776. He ofliciateG at the Boston Tea Rarty' and operated a mitrailleuse at Bunk CT Hill. The war over. he resumed his role of missionary converting ike Indians with the aid of true eye and a buffalo gun. Andrew Jack son then called for his aid in the war of 1872. He operated the only t2-centimeter gun at New Orleans. ht the end of the war he devoted his time exclusively to politics until General KilIatrick appointed him wireless operator during the Civil War which post he held until the end of the war
 MT. Chase once more became inn mcrsed in politics, finally succeeding in electing Grover Cleveland prcsi- dent. the result of which so discour- aged him that he came to Arizona where he intends to end his days provided the continent holds together long enough
