SAVING TO TAXPAYERS BY
EDUCATIONAL Dept

The office of the Superinten-
dent of Public instruction and
the department of vocational
education turned back S7O,O29-
90 of their appropriations for
the last biennium to the general
fund of the state at the end of
the fiscal year just closed, if
was announced from the Office
of H. E. Hendrix, state superin-
tendent of public instruction
and director of vocational ed
vcation. OF this amount $780,
001 .04 reverted from the funds
of the former department and
$34, ,02S.94 from the vocational
department.
The largest single saving to
the taxpayers by the educa-
tional department was that in
the text book fund. A total of
$33,628.9S was turned back
from the textbook fund. In
the vocational department the
greatest saving was in the re-
endorsement fund where S23,-
10000 reverted.
The appropriation for the
year just closed, for both de-
partments, was S305.129.81.
For the year which began July
l, 1888, the appropriation will
be $l72,515.50, or approximate
ly 81 per cent as much, which
will mean a saving of some 43
percent in the two departments
for the coming year, it was an
nounced.

DOUGLASS DATES
THE CLIFF PALACE

Washington, July, 9.---Out in
the Mesa Verde National park
of Colorado are ruins of an
apartment house that was oc-
cupied for two centuries.
In statement issued today
the interior department esti-
mated that tenancy began in
1913, and lasted until 1912, or
just about the period of the
crusades in Europe. Tenants
were the cliff-dwelling Indians
and what is left. ..of their home
now is known as the Cliff
Palace.
The department described
the place as containing 200
dwelling rooms and % sacred
rooms, rising at some points as
high as four stories and extend
ed 300 feet along rocky ledges.
The dates of occupancy. the
department said. were deter
mined bysthe system of tree
ring chronology established by
DR.. A. E. Douglass, director of
the Steward observatory of the
University OF Arizona. 1t is
believed the cave in which cliff
palace was constructed was in
habited by agricultural Indians
as far back as 1 ,O6O b. c.

COAST BLOCKADED BY
A HORDE GIANT CRABS

A horde of giant crabs have
"blockaded" the coast of the
state of Victoria and are caus-
ing havoc in the fishing indus
try. The crustaceans, pear
shaped and of a reddish hue,
measure from two to five feet
across with their claws extend
ed. Fishermen believe them to
be of a species of the giant Jap
anese crabs which grow to 10
feet. Others believe they are
of the large Australian spider
crab species.
The invasion covers practic-
ally all the inlets round the
coast and across the bay to
Flinders Island. The crabs are
clearing the sea bed of all other
natural life, smashing nets and
causing the fishermen a loss of
thousands of pounds weekly.
The fshermen's league is
urging the government to use
lounches to haul big rollers out
into the sea to crush the crus-
taceans.---Ex.

SHEEP KILLER GETS
50 DAYS IN JAIL

Because he failed to take
notice of a heard of sheep be-
ing driven along the highway
with the result that his auto
mobile killed 10 of the number.
J. Doyle, Florida stage driver,
was sentenced to 80 days in
the county jail at Phoenix when
he pleaded guilty to a reckless
driving charge before Judge w.
S. Mcconnell at Gilbert this
week.
Doyle was enroute to Calf
ornia in what officers termed a
bootleg stage" when the ac-
cident occurred near the Frank
Gurley ranch on the Apache
Trail. The sheep were the
of Gurley and it was
he who filled the complaint.
Police SAID that Doyle's car
plowed into the herd at high
rate of speed. The car continu-
ed on but was stoppad by Geo.
Tibshraeny who had witnessed

THE FARMERS WAY OUT

Irrespective of the merits of
the various farm relief measure
now being considered, farmers
should not be led into the be-
lief that their problems can be
settled entirely by legislative
action.
The government can perhaps
ease some of the worst effects
of the depression. 1t may aid
our agriculture over the crisis.
But, in the long run, the farm
ers themselves will decide
whether agriculture is to pros
per or to continue in the dold-
drums, whether it is to advance
or go back.
In recent years the farmer
has developed a great weapon,
the cooperative. We have
seen what it can do under the
most unfavorable conditions
and its potential achievements
must still be left to the imagi-
nation. 1t has been a stabiliz-
ing influence when stabilization
was the thing the farmer has
most needed. 1t has fought
valiantly for better prices and
markets when markets and
prices were shrinking. 1t has
not of course, done all it wa Mt
ed to do. But if it had never
existed, there might be chaos in
agriculture far more severe
than anything the country has
experienced.
The future of the cooperative
lies mostly in the hands of the
farmer. 1t has been severly
criticized, as is any other new
institution. 1t has met resis-
tance from those who prosper
from disorganized farming. 1t
will undoubtedly meet more
criticism, more resistance.
The co-oreratives deserve the
most loyal, whole-hearted sup
port. They deserve the enlist
ment of every farmer in their
area. They must have it, if
the new era for agriculture,
which has been awaited so long
is tie really come into being

HUGE SLASHIN PRO-
PERTY TAX LEVY

A reduction of approximately
so percent in the state property
tax rate will result through the
sales. income, and intangible
taxes, according to estimates
given by H. H. Hotchkiss, exc
cutive, secretary to Governor
Moeur. He said the state tax
rate on property should drop
from 81.20, the 1882 levy, to
around 48 to so cents per $100
valuation, provided the valua-
tions remain the same as for the
current year.
Mr.. Hotchkiss pointed out
that the amount to be raised
for state purposes for the 1888
81 fiscal year is about 40 per
cent less than for the past fiscal
year, the amount to be derived
by direct taxation being reduc-
ed from S6,OOO.OOO to about
S3,5OO,OOO.
This one item alone, he said,
will pull the state rate down to
about 70 cents per each $1.00
of valuation. The decrease
was brought about by pairing
the appropriation bill abont 40
percent.
The estimated state revenues
to be derived during the coming
year from the sales, income and
intangible taxes will amount to
about S2,000,0O0 which will
leave about 81, 100000 to be
raised by direct taxes on tangi-
BILE property, Mr.. Hotchkiss
added.
The luxury tax, he explained
will go entirely for unemploy-
ment relief If it were added
to the state revenues for meet
ing appropriations, it might be
that there would be no tax Oh
tangible property for state pur-
poses.
The estimated S2,000,000
from the three tax laws does
not include the % per cent 60
ing to the counties, it was ex-
planned. The additional %
percent will have some weight
in reducing the county tax on
property in the state, especially
if the counties have made a
corresponding reduction in
their budgets.
Mr.. Hotchkiss estimated
that the property valuation for
1888 would be but slightly less
than that for 1932.---Arizona
