is IT CHEAPER TO RENT THAN
TO BUY A FARM?

Whether it is cheaper to rent than
to buy farm in this state is prob
lem confronting the farmer today.
Interesting data bearing on this
much-discussed question has just been
made available by the Sears-Roebuck
Agricultural Foundation. A govern
ment survey covering 319 farms in
Maricopa county on which cash rents
were paid showed that in 1920 the
average cash rent was $24. 81 per
acre and that the average valuation
per acre was 1894 90. This means a
gross return to the owner of SO per
cent. In the case of other farms in
this county which were rented to kins-
folk, the cash rent was $26. SO per
acre, which amounted to gross re-
turn to the owner of 84 per cent of
the rated palue of his land, which was
1919 per acre.
While these figures may not apply
with equal force to individual farms
in the county, elaborate tests in most
counties have shown them to be cor
rect. Furthermore, while it is true
that these figures are based on 1920
reports and land values in most states
have fallen materially since that time,
it is believed that cash rents have
fallen in approximately like proper
ton. The ratio between rents and
land values given above may there
fore be taken as applying to the pres
ent year. State and local taxes in
most states are somewhat higher than
in 1920, consequently the net rent in
come is usually lower.
What effect existing conditions will
have in the coming decade there is no
forecasting, the Foundation states,
but in the long run the rate of net re-
turns must determine the selling price
of land.

SCIENCE AND THE LEADER OF
ZION

Flying around the world does not
prove that the earth is a globe, ac-
cording to a statement Of Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, overseer of the Chris
tian Catholic Apostolic Church com
munity, who said that a glance at a
map of the earth as statioary plane
would show that the journey of the
world tiiers proved the earth to be
stationary as much as it was globu-
lar.
Mr.. Voliva exhibited an ordinary
map of the globe upon which he had
penciled the route of the fliers. He
said it showed the aviators merely
flew in a circle over the fat surface
of the earth.
Advocates of the Copernican glob'
ular theory of the earth's shape
should note the statement of Prof
r. A. Gregory, of their foremost au.
thorities," Mr.. Voliva asserted. He
quoted Prof. Gregory as saying: "Cir-
cumnavigation in an easterly or west
erly direction does not prove the earth
to be globular. 1t has been pointed
out that circumnavigation would be
possible on a fat surface with the
north magnetic pole at it's center.
FThe world flight does not prove
conclusively either theory, but it does
prove one just as much as it proves
the other
''The Bible plainly and unnmistak-
ably teaches that the earth is a sta
tionary plane" continued Mr.. Voliva
He submitted abstracts from Prof. J..
Norman Lockyer, LaPlace, the French
astronomer. and the late Prof. Wood
house of Cambridge, in support of his
contention.

MISTAKES OF THE ELECTION

Without going into details of a tab
uiated report on Tuesdays election, it
Is definitely assured that, in the race
for governor, Heard was beaten by
over thousand votes by Gov. Hunt
Gov. Hunts campaign was clean and
devoid of the questionable msages reg.
ularly inaugurated in every campaign
by the Heard republican newspaper
to which Heards defeat must be as
cribed in great measure.
With such a powerful publicity wea-
pom the Heard campaign managers
could afford to be magnanimous, but
they must needs stoop to common
usages of the small fry, which to
thinking and intelligent voters is in
defensible. Another great factor in
Heard's defeat was }his ambiguous
position on the Colorado river COM
pact, which he failed to make clear
as free from commercial domination
The sympathy of half the people of
Maricopa county goes out to Jerry
Sullivan, who was knitted" by I'M
derhand campaigning. Not the least
of the foul usages employed as a wea-
pom against Jerry, was a factionaI re-
ligious sentiment spread abroad by
pilitical enemies against him because
OF his recent marriage to an estimable
protestant woman.
It is apparent to every publicity
agent and Arizona politician that
those in charge Of the Democratic
campaign favors and distribution of
publicity all over the state showed a
rank disregard of the rural sections
where the real honest sentiment of
the voting population prevails. This
lack OF detail on part of the demo
cratic committeeman came near losing
the state to Heard. In the whole
state not single newspaper publica.
tlon was ovelooked by the Heard cam.
palgn managers. In every issue of
the smallest country paper, whether
It's politics was democratic, republican
or progressive there blazoned forth
hundreds of columns of display adver-
tislng, setting the views of the repub-
lican candidate on matters of public
interest. The democratic managers
to be good fellows, spent most of the
money in local channels and with the
Gazette, their representative, which
two years ago had been read out of
the party as traitorous sheet. The
boasted democratic machine, if ma.
chine there was! must have been
pretty we'll honeycombed by brazenly
rotten management.
