State Gets Large
Sum From Forests

Arizona will receive $133,O49.37 as
part of the $1,600,00O due 80 states
from the Federal Government as
their share of receipts of national
forests lying within their borders
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1929, according to a communication
received yesterday by the Nogales
international from the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The sum of $1,600,000 represents
more than Is per cent of the gross
receipts of the national forests for
the year, and the great bulk of it
is owing to western states, in which
the principal areas of national for
ests and other public lands lie.
The state shares of national for
est receipts represent Federal pay
ment in lieu of taxes which the
states would receive if the national
forests were in private ownership,
and under the federal statute pro-
viding for the apportionment the
money must be used by the States
for schools and roads.
"That the Federal Government
allots the States such a generous
portion of National Forest receipts
is not generally recognized by the
public" says Acting Secretary Re-
nick w. Dunlap of the Department
of Agriculture. Moreover, the
| States do not have to bear a penny
of the burden of National Fores
protection, administration, and de-
; velopment. In the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1928, the Federal Gov
) ernment spent more than $4,000,
/. 900 on the National Forests, in
Guiding $1,000, ,835.29 for roads AM
l trails, and more than 100000
e for purchase of additional fores
S land. The great bulk of this ex
n penditure went for development
S activities such as protection agains
