 The long staple cotton industry really retard- ing the natural development of the region The atten ton people turned to speculation; wonder ing what the price of land would be next month Real estate business thriving. In the little town of Casa Grande there than thirty real estate offices and large number of Phoenix and Tucson offices making specially of Grande lands.
 In the fever of money making, rather in the fever of anticipation. there was development. Shacks hastily erected for habitations in the country and for business houses in the town.

Only acreage counted.
 Then came the jolt which placed Casa Grande where 1t belonged There only enough real estate firms in the town to legitimate business of community which rests sound foundation Those who own farms turning their attention to profitable crops which be raised there. and for which there a reasonably reliable market There is for instance a vast acreage in Thompson seedless grapes which being sold through cooperative marketing and packing citation to cash buyers in different parts of the country.

Almost every farmer is earnest member and he is devoting himself learning what crops best suited to his land. He is leaving little to chance possible He is not thinking about getting sometime $500 s1Ooo for his farm. but he is striving to get much possible out of 1t every year.

Mayor Plunkett's Raport

The excellent report of Mayor Plunkett the city commission made public last Saturday should be studied by all who concerned in the welfare of Phoenix.
 Through several years both before and since the institution of the commission form government we had allowed things to rock along sometimes dis regard of the and sometimes in active violation of the law. because councimen, and later, commits sioners did not know what the law

 The mayor lays bare the difficulties with regard to city paving under the existing legislation Though he disclams the offer any recommendations, he leaves doubt of the urgent need of reform of pres ent methods of securing paving. There is sugges- tion which think will meet with the approval of taxpayers generally that halt in the matter of paving until establish a basis.
 The mayor recommends the enforcement of the ordinances and especially the traffic ordinance and those for the Encouragement of immortality. of prevalence of the latter the mayor does not give the city clean bill of health but merely that the rumors have not been proved to be true The report throughout is the informa document issued from the city hall We trust that will be put into that will be accessible to all.

OUR CHEAP EDUCATION

The state paying the highest Is Montana, which pays almost exactly 10 times the amount paid by those giving the least, which are Mississippi and Ala bama. Massachusetts, famous for culture, gives only s390. With the exception of the District of Columbia. the far western states lead in gene rosity along this line.
 In this country where we blithely acknowledge that all things depend upon education, we spend only an average of s2.092. .26S per day for the purpose of educating more than 27,- GOO, 900 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 19. Including children of kindergarten age there are more than 30,000,000 children in this coun- try to be educated. This means an expenditure of about seven cents per day for the education of each indi- vidual child above six years of age. Moreover, 1t has been shown by the bureau of education that the average individual in the United States gets only about six years of schooling.
 The army mental tests proved illi- teracy to be common in the United States among wage earning adults, and the extensive popularity of the educational courses offered to men enlisting in the army. navy and ma rine corps proved by their power as a drawing card, that a growing need is felt for more education.
 It has been stated by the war de- partment that nearly 50 per cent of those who enlisted stated that they desired to enlist so as to get the edu- cational advantages offered by the service. Similar in popularity are the courses offered by the Marine Corps institute. and the privileges ot specialized education along certain trade and professional lines offered

WASHINGTON, July 10 = The United States must spend about six times as much as it does now for education before we can hope to make the schools satisfactory and provide for our children the educa- tion necessary for good citizenship for democracy and for industrial ef- ficiency.
 This statement is based upon recent studies made by the bureau Of education, which show that the United States does not begin to use a proportionate part of the national income for educational purposes, and the results obtained from such mea- ger funds as have been grudgingly appropriated by the different states emphasize that fact. Another recent report issued by the committee on education of the house of representa- tives shows that the United States ranks about ninth among civilized nations in illiteracy. This statement is based upon average figures and facilities.
 In the United States the percentage of illiteracy is 7.7 for the total popu- lation, over 10 years of age, and per cent for the native white population. In Denmark, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom the percentage of illiteracy is lower than that for the native white population of the United States. The bureau of the census states that this list should probably include Norway, although no figures are available for that country. There is also less illiteracy in Australia than in the United States. In Bull garia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Por- tugal Rumania, Russia. Servia, Spain and non- European countries other than Australia, the percentage of it. literacy averages much higher than in the United States, extending from 3 to 70 per cent of the population.
 The Average Cost
 The total wealth of the United States is $500, 900, GOO 900. and the an . nual income about $70,000, 900, 900 The statistical division of the bureal of education says that only sI63.67s,.

 Laboror Was Murdered
 TUCSON-That Carmen Baquero, Mexican railway 1aborer, was mur- dered and did not come to his death by contact with Q Southern Pacific train, seems conclusive in face of a confession said to have been made by Manuel Sandoval to the police. With Sandovafs statement, said to have been secured from the boy while he was being held in jail at Florence, the railroad police believe their sus- PlClOn tHdt I<1QuSiO luct uSdtn through foul play has been substan- tiated. The Sandoval boy is alleged to have confessed to the Santa Cruz county authorities, that he helped Juan Garcia carry the unconscious Baquero to the railroad and place his body upon the rails, to make it ap- pear that Baquero had been killed by a passing train.-Star.

 Dear Sir. During and following the Pioneer reunion, read in your columns many stories of early days in Arizona. It has occurred to me that the enclosed interview with one of the really old inhabitants might be of interest to you and be worthy of place in your paper. Remember he was here long before there was a mountain range in Arizona. or the United States for that matter. and millions of years before the Hassa- yampa flowed.
