perience, and seemed well qualified
to carry out his more business In

business" policy. He stated that due
to his close residency to the Boulder
Canyon, that 1t was always left to
him to inform the people of what
was going ON down there; this he
did and in a very masterful manner
enumerated the various benefits to
Nevada to be expected when this pro-
ject does go through. 1t was he who
fathered the bill creating the Colo
RADIO river commission which has
done such good work in furthering
Nevada's interests In the Boulder
Canyon dam. He very casually re-
marked in his discussion Of busi-
ness administration that as a gener-
al rule teachers didn't have much OF
business head and didn't ever make
large amounts Of money for them
selves, bringing out the point that II
people expected to have their State
government run on business basis
they should elect men that have had
life long experience In conducting q
business of their own in which they
have made a success.
w. B. Alexander, Republican can
didate for Secretary of State, merely
outlined the training he has had for
the position to which he aspires
stating that he has had twenty-six
years of business and secretarial
training and a knowledge of the

The Republican gubernatoriai par
ty headed by John III. Miller ad-
dressed a large audience at the Eu-
reka Theatre Tuesday evening. The
party came up from Palisade that
afternoon, and, owing to car trouble
were delayed in reaching Eureka.
While the assemblage in the theatre
was waiting the arrival of the candi-
dates, they were entertained by mu-
sic rendered by a four-piece orches-
ira. Upon the appearance of the cand-
idates in the theatre they were cor
daily greeted, and from the begin
ming to the close of the meeting held
the audience In close attention. H.
NJ. Burdick presided as chairman OF
the meeting and introduced the
speakers.
John II. Miller, Republican candi-
date for Governor, was the first
speaker of the evening. He at once
launched into the question of State
economy. He explained that the In
creasing tax rate and State valua-
tions was unwarranted. In this line
he remarked:
Make 1t a business proposition
such as you would conduct yourself
II you found that your business was
falling off you would not continue to
dig deeper into your reserve, but
would trim expenses to meet the in.
come, and that is what / propose al
Governor. Practically every commits
sion operating at Carson can be
trimmed down and other expenses
can be regulated"
In speaking of mining, he said:
IL have had many years expert
ence in mining. and believe that q
new era of prosperity is here In thai
line. In every section of the STATE
we find renewed efforts and results
from Virginia City to the south enc
of the State old and new mines are
operating"
Next Mr.. Miller gave a compre
hensive outline of the business pol
icies that, in his judgment. should
prevail in the operation Of the gov
ernment of the State, and in tn,
course of his talk said, II believe II

The condition of the present build

CONCERNING BUILDING SITES

Three building sites within the town of Will Hams have been suggested so far: The ball ground where ten acres are offered free to the district; the lots above the pres ,nt school house which would need be purchased along with sev- eral buildings; and the lots north of the By resi- dence.
 Mrs. Sine assumes that the proposed grounds in the Cureton addition would require filling in This we believe is error on her part. Archi- tect Mahoney looked over this ground and stat ed that it was particularly favorably located piece of ground that naturally drained and would require practically grading whatever. lie further stated that building could be built on this ground for fifteen per cent less than it x! would cost to construct building anywhere h1gh up on the hill side proposed by either of the other suggested locations. In addition to this there would be the cost of buying the ground The two proposed locations on the hill side would have the advantage of being on the south side of the tracks and one would be some what closer to the majority of the residences of the town altho no closer to Bill Williams Avenue or the main business section of the town
 The necessity of the school children crossing the tracks to reach the ball ground, should bear some weight, but it should be remembered that the children crossing those tracks would be of seventh grade age and older, making the risk much less than with small children.

APPORTION $7s,7O7 STATE AID AMONG HIGH
 SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Apportionment of state aid i amounting to $7S,7O7.73 to the ! high school districts of the
 state for vocational training during tie school year 1921
 1922 has been made by Miss Elsie Poles, state school super 1ntendent, it was announced yesterday, and warrants for the amounts will be drawn at once
 by Charles W. Fairfield, state auditor. These amounts will be the last received by the high schools from the state as ra-,n- bursement for vocational train ing, as the act under which the apportionments are made each year has been repealed.
 Under this act, each high school in the state which had vocational training was to be reimbursed at the end of the school year for the money spent for the training, the amount of reimbursement not to exceed $25OO. The two normal schools of the state also were included in the bill.
 When the high school dis tr1cts were included in the state aid to schools of $25 per capita Of attendance, it was deemed best to do away with the state aid for vocational training and let the per capita appropria+:o :on take care of this in the hiph schools.
 Thirty high schools in the state and the two state normal schools received apportion- ment, 26 of the number receiy- ing the maximum amount of $250O. The total apportion- ment was $78,7O7.73, and was i divided as follows: Tomb stone, $2250; Pearce, S1953: Duncan, $24O6.68; Glendale | $2O98.O5; with the following schools each receiving S2OOO: !Blsbee, Wilcox, Benson, Doug las,. the Northern Arizona Nor nal, Williams, Globe, Miami. Safford, Morenci, Clifton, the Tempe Normal, Phoenix, Mesa. Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Hol- brook, Winslow, Tucson, Flor ance, Casa Grande, NogaIes. Prescott, Jerome, ClarkdaIe. una and Kingman.

CONSIDER THESE POINTS

In considering the contribution to Open Forum, made this week by Mrs. Jessie A. Sine we wish to call particular attentOn to the consld- eration of several points taken up therein.
 First let consider what would be reason able cost for high school district with the popu- lation and the assessed valuation of that of Vii Hams School District No; 2. Mrs; Sine states cost S65OOOO. That is little over six times the cost of the proposed building for Williams. 566 high school pupils in 1921. How many of those were in the Tucson high school we are un- now more than $50 enrolled in the Tucson high school This allows 100 over the total for Pima in 1921. It is safe to @ say that the per capita @ Williams would be no higher than that for Tucson gauged by the high school enrolment:
 The same is true of every other high school in the state upon which have succeeded in get ting figures, with the one possible exception of a s6o, ,Ooo building is amazing. Nothing like that can be found in other cities of the state. rollment and other interesting facts about this remarkable case, for use next week. We have shown in former articles that the burden upon the taxpayer in putting up one hundred thous- and dollar building in this district would be be- low the average in the state.
 It is true that many good high schools do not have adequate playgrounds. This is true of such Kansas City. gymnasium and school exercises usually made to answer the pur- pose of playground possible but they can never be more than substitute. Exercises in gymnasium benefit the health and build up the bodies but open fresh air will accomplish with the effect and expense. Schools that have no playgrounds would gladly add the grounds if it were possible but of course such is not possible ln a crowded city where the build ing is in a section where lots extremely cost ly and already contain expensive buildings. We doubt if there is high school superintendent in the United States who would not urge district to purchase playground if it could be secured at reasonable cost Districts are freouently forced to build without backgrounds because playgrounds are not available. It would in- deed be grave mistake for any school to fail to procure a playground where is available.
Williams news., 1922-07-21
READ AND CONSIDER

One Williams taxpayer taking advantage of the offer made by the News to print letters per taining to the proposed high school building, pears in another column this page. We urge all News readers to read the letter carefully and determine for themselves what merit there there is in the suggestions and arguments there given. We print this letter gladly we will any others on the same topic The News believes in full and fair discussion of all matters of public con- cern and we are glad to receive opinions from others.
Williams news., 1922-07-21
LOCATION UP TO PEOPLE

When the school election is called the voters will be asked to vote for two things at least. 1rst shall we bond the district for high school building? Second, where shall that building be located? The first of these should be answer ed in the affirmative without a dissenting vote The second will naturally bring out some diff ference of opinion. The News urges that this be given thoro discussion and that the voters consider the future of Williams in voting on this point. We believe the voters of Williams will consider the good of the children and plan the building where the building site will lend as much possible to the efficiency of the institn- tion Wherever the building IS placed it will be so placed by vote of the taxpayers
Williams news., 1922-07-21

teachers since the high school was organized here and putting the school in a separate build ing would necessitate more teachers. Only the growth of the school or the addition of more courses could necessitate teachers and this would be true regardless of location. On these points we should agree unanimously:
 l. We need high school building.
 2. $1OO,0OO is not too much to pay for that building.
 g.. We want the high school and the lower grades separated.
Williams news., 1922-07-21

Williams needs the high school building and a one hundred thousand dollar building would not be too large, too expensive too good for our children. Furthermore have urged be- fore, the high school children should be sep arated from the grades. This would entail no extra expense in teaching force. The first six grades as at present would be taught by the grade teachers for those grades. The six high school grades have been taught by high school
