EVEN VETERANS SEASICK WHEN
FILMING CLIFTON SEA PICTURE

Considering that even veterans of the sea, whalemen who
have trod the deck of many a smart square-rigged schooner,
in the perilous and always adventurous chase for the mon
sters of the sea, are not immune from sea sickness, 1t was
not TO be wondered that pretty little Clara Bow and James

WORKS In THIS STATE

by State Treasurer Wayne Hubbs.
This constitutes a reduction of $94,-

ty land owners Owe the largest sum
of any county in Arizona, nearly half
the total or $632, ,172.66 being repre-
sented by loans in that county on land
under the Lyman dam. Maricopa

the last fiscal year, reducing their i'm

Just what. steps the state loan board
will take relative to the Lyman dam

the loan board has been held since to
dispose of the matter.

VOTER NOW GETS WHAT
HE DIDN'T ASK FOR

Practically every filling station in
Phoenix is issuing coupons to pur-
chasers OF gasoline, the coupons
amounting to two cents on each gallon
purchased. Should the gasoline tax
ruling be declared unconstitutional,
holders Of the coupons would be en-
titled to refund of two cents per
gallon.
Although the leading oil companies
operating in the state maintain that
there will be no alteration in the pres
ent tax plan, they were forced to fol-
low suit of the smaller companies
when they began issuing the coupons.
The executives of these companies ex-
planned that they were issuing the cou-
pons more as a method of meeting
competition than of contemplating any
refund. They further explained that,
should the law be declared unconsti-
tutional, not more than 30 per cent
Of the coupons would be redeemed,
maintaining that they would be lost
or destroyed.
it's reported here that several cities
throughout the state have followed
suit in issuing the coupons. Bisbee,
Yuma, Flagstaff and Tucson are of
ficially reported as having done so.
At Tucson, however, there has been
new construction placed on the
COUPON system Filling stations in the
Pima county metropolis are issuing
these coupons to state motorists only,
Tourists are getting none.
Nor is it planned to turn in money
thus derived to the state in the inter-
est of the upkeep Of its roads. The
excess paid by the tourist for his gas
oline will be used to bulge the Golfers
of the filling stations should the law
become invalid.
1t is estimated here that if the law
is declared unconstitutional and there
is a refund to be made, it viii involve
thousands Of dollars, should the repeal
be declared during the present year.

STATE SCHOOL FUNDS TO
BE APP0RTIONED SOON

The first quarterly school appor-
tionment for the school year 1923-24
will be made shortly after August i,
according to an announcement by
Wayne Hubbs, state treasurer. The
tentative amount TO be distributed to
the fourteen counties Of the state in
accordance with their school popoula-
tion is 1898 8,464.33.
Receipts of additional funds from
land rentals and other sources may
raise this amount before the final ap-
portionment is made, Mr. Hubbs said.
The school funds are apportioned four
times a year during the fiscal year.
The apportionment as tentatively fix
ed now will be made on basis of
S7.52 per capita Of school population
in each county.
Mr.. Hubbs was recently furnished
with statement Of the school funds
for the year, which shows that ST.
325,425 will be raised this year
through taxation on the state levy of
$25 per school capita. From this
amount S153,350 will be deducted as
the appropriation for the fiscal year.
This leaves a net amount of 81 1,172,-
075 from the S25 per capita levy. To
this amount has been added 100000
as q reimbursement to the general
school fund from the permanent school
fund for funds enormously credited to
the latter funds.
The total amount to be apportioned
during the year, exclusive Of the re-
ceipts from the land department and
other funds which under the law go
to the general school fund, is S1,272,-
CTS. This amount will be apportioned
in four equal parts duling the year,
each apportionment amounting to
$318, ,018.75.
The receipts from the land depart
ment and other sources going to the
general school fund since the last APP
portionment amount at present to
$50 0,445.58N which, added to the one-
quarter apportionment of the general
school fund, makes the total $685.
464.33 now available for distribution.

STRONG FOR BETTER
HIGHWAY TO CANYON
Grand Canyon. ARIZONA. July %.

Grand Canyon, Arizona, July %.
Col. II. S. Breen, Editor Coconino Sun.
Flagstaff, Arizona.
NV Dear Editor: Some six million
and five hundred thousand years be-
fore KING Tue was bundled up and
tucked away In his tomb, there was
fashioned and placed in the northern
section of what is now the state OF
Arizona, the greatest and most sub
lime niece ct natural scenery in the
world--the Grand Canyon--the Grand
Canyon Or Arizona.
The Grand Canyon of arizona is a
state and federal pproerty and as such
q federal. OF state and federal high
va, should IL constructed to afford
the people Of the United States and
tile people cf the state Of Arizona a
decent road from the Old Trails high
way to the Grand Canyon national
park.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is
TIE ereateat piece Of scenery in the
world, and Arizona should begin to
realize that it is within her bound
aries and means much to the state.
1t is the most advertised spot in Ari-
ona.
1t is not likely that Coconino county
will ever he able to build a road to
the Grand Canyon which would be the
kind of road one would expect to lead
to the greatest wonder in the world
nor should it be expected that this
county should alone build such d
road--it is t gger than county prop
ositicn, but the state and federal gov
ernment should get together and build
a highway to the Grand Canyon and
do SO as soon as possible for every
day the present roads to the Grand
Canyon Of Arizona become more and
none a disgrace and a thing TO be
ashamed cf, eo those who have travel
ed far 20 see Arizona's greatest scenic
wonder
Mrs. a. &. Hargraye, vice-president
Of the Wonan's club of Phoenix, after
driving up to the Grand Canyon last
Week-she mas made several visits to
the Grand Canyon-came to the cen
clusion that it was shame that there
was not highway to the Grand Can
yon and she hoped on her return to
Phoenix to interest the women Of the
state of Arizona in making an effort
TO nave highway built. Mrs. Har-
grave feels that the pride Of the state
alone demands that a highway be built
to the Grand Canyon and knows that
highway to the Grand Canyon IF
Arizona will benefit the entire state
as well as the thousands of tourists
who travel through Arizona each year
ust in order to see the Grand Canyon.
Mrs. Hargraye's efforts toward in
teresting the women of the state in
the construction Of highway to the
Grand Canyon of Arizona will be sue
cessful and she will arouse the inter-
est of the whole state in the construc-
ton of such a highway for Alizonans
are proud of their Grand Canyon and
want the world to see it.
Mrs. Hargrave, when she launches
her highway to Grand Canyon cam
paign should have the support of ev-
cry newspaper and individual in the
state.
