 To the honorable members of the Ninth Legislative Assembly of Arizona Territory, representing the county of Yavapai:
 Gentlemen: We, your petitioners, respectfully represent that we are en- gagged in the sale of spirItuous and malt liquors at retail, in the said county of Yavapai. That the carrying on of our business is permitted and licensed by law, and we are compelled to pay heavy taxation for such privilege, by reason of which we claim that our business should have the same protection and encouragement which the law gives to other legitimate enterprises.
 We therefore ask that you use your best efforts in having the act of the Eighth Legislative Assembly of Ari- zona, entitled, In relation to the Sale of Spirituous and Malt Liquors or Wines at Retail, approved February 9, 1875, repealed, as it works a great damage and injustice to our business.
 And your petitioners will ever pray. (Signed) JULIUS .RODENBURG.
