STATE SCHOOL
ALLOTMENT

State warrents aggregating $498,-
44375 for the first quarterly ap-
portionment of state school funds
for the year 193O-31 have been
mailed by c. o. Case, state super
intendent of public instruction, to
the IA county school superintend-
ents of the state. Maricopa county
will receive a warrant for $17S,2S9-
SO as its apportionment
In announcing the mailing of the
warrants, Mr.. Case explained that
$462, 2,943'75 of the amount repre-
sented tax funds and the remain
der, $35,500, non-tax funds. Mr..
Case pointed out that the amount
of money expended in the state for
education purposes for several
years has not exceeded 45 cents of
each dollar of the states income
State money spent for education
al purposes includes in addition 10
the common schools, the Univer-
sity of Arizona appropriation, ex-
penditures for the two state teach
ers colleges, the vocational educa-
ton department, state historians
office, pioneer historical society,"
county scholarships and the ele-
mentary and high schools.
The expenditures for the COM
mon schools which includes the
elementary and high schools and
the state educational department,
Mr.. Case said, amounts to about 26
cents of each dollar of the state s
income. OF the amount for COM
mon schools, SO per cent is expend-
ed for the schools direct and z per
cent is expended through the state
educational department which in
cludes the purchase of textbooks,
pensions for retired teachers, coun-
ty Institutes, various report blanks
and forms for use in the elemen-
tary and high schools and a small
part for the salaries and operation
of the superintendent's office.
Through the methhod employed,
he said, in making quarterly appor-
tionments to the schools, the fund
raised by direc taxation in the state
is returned to the people as well as
the funds derived from non-tax
sources
The amounts to be received by
the other counties of the state in
this apportionment follows.

Maine GOES
REPUBLICAN

We have never placed as much
reliance as some partisans have in
the saying that GAS goes Maine so
goes the nation" in election years.
The people of Maine are affected
by the same causes as the people of
the rest of the country and are sub
jeet to the same emotions. But
Maine is a republican state though
now and then the democrats have
carried it, but only when there was
a countrywide revolt against the
republican party.
The election in that state on
Monday indicates either that there
is no revolt in the country or else
that the people of Maine had not
been apprised of it. They must
know, though, that there is con-
siderable depression existing in va
rious parts of the country but they
fail to connect it in any way with
the shortcomings of the republl-
can party Nor do they see how
the affliction may be remedied by
any political action that may be
taken any more than we can con-
troll earthquakes and religious up
heavals and subsidences by polit-
ical or legislative action.
We do not suppose that the peo-
pie of Maine are any more recon
ciled to depressions and unemploy-
ment than the rest of us. We sup
pose though that a majority of the
people of this country have sense
enough to know that the situation
is not to be met by putting certain
men into office and putting others
out
Therefore, they followed the very
sensible course of going to the polls
as they had usually done, casting
the usual majorities for their favor
ite candidates. They registered no
disapproval of the Hoover admins
tration because of the depression
or because of the drouth which fell
upon some parts of the country and
of floods and hurricanes which raw
aged others.
We do not mean to say that par
ties in power may not so conduct
themselves as to affect the business
and employment of the country
Thta has often been done, as it was
done in 1893 and as it has been
done in some measure whenever
we have withdrawn a reasonable
degree of protection from Ameri-
can industry. The restoration Of
protection has invariably resulted
in a release of industry from its
unnatural handicap.
Beyond that and a proper regu-
lation of business activities which
affect the people at large, we can
not go without a disturbance of
business and prosperity.
This the people of Maine evi-
IDENTIFY understand and We think
that the elections in November will
show that the rest of the. country
is not without understanding.
Anyhow, fact of the Maine cleo
tion on Monday is that if there is
countrywide revolt against the
administration, it failed to "click"
a the first opportunity that was
given it-Arizona Republican.

THE STRANGERS
FUNERAL
ARIZONA DREAMS
Tied Healy)

"The Old Timer liked to talk OF
western hospitality of the old days
so when asked to tell a story
taken from his memory's scrap book
of what he thought was the best
example of the good old neighborly
spirit he smiled, settled back in the
comfortable chair that he always
pre-empted when around the news
paper office, lit stogie and said:
well, | will tell you about the
strangers funeral For downright
fine neighborly intentions its the
best yarn | know.
"One night the regular passenger
westboud rolled into an Arizona
town, and being late there wasn't a
soul to watch the night operator
help the eXpressman unload a still
form from the express car onto a
truck. A couple of women, small
boy and a man got off the train ana
went to a hotel A few minutes
after the train went it's westward
way the operator was startled by
a man running in and notifying
him that there was a dead man ly-
ing on a truck outside. 81 know
th1t. sid the operator, "how did
you find it out?"
We'll, | see a man lying there
with his hand over his face.
Lots of times fellows lie on the
trucks like that. | asked him about
it being pretty cool TO be lying
there and he never said a word
Then l shook him and his hat fell
off. That's all, / just rushed in
here"
| "He died suddingly up the line"
said the operator, land in a case
like that the body must be un-
loaded at the first station for the
inquest am calling up the judge
now"
"The next morning it was dis
covered that the women folks, kid,
and the man, who had put up at the
hotel were the deceased's kinfolks.
One of the women and the boy were
the dead mans wife and son, and
the others in the party were in
laws. All were on their way to
Phoenix, where the husband, vic
tim of the white plague, expected TO
get well. The death angel ruled
otherwise and he died of hemor-
rhage on the train.
"The deceased died broke, and
when the passengers realized the
circumstances of the family hat
was passed around on the train and
$40 were collected. This was all
the money the folks had.
"You know what happened. A
couple of real estate men got busy.
They collected over $4,000, paid
$500 for a coffin that had been in
storage as part of the stock of
store; there was no undertaken in
the town then, and the coffin had
been awaiting someone to die that
could afford the price, got church
choir together, held first class fun
eral services, and all who had con-
trlbuted went to the cemetary and
the deceased was the first to be
buried in the new graveyard.
The widow and inlaws were
given enough money to proceed to
Phoenix.
They have visited the town
since, and never will forget the
hospitality of the strangers who
treated them so kindly when they
were sore afflicted.
Yes, that is the best yarn l know
about western hospitality"
