A TAXPAYER,S NIEM

l desire the privilege of making q few remarks through your columns on the subject of prohibition. I am q tax payer and also of religious disposi- tion. therefore maintain that I am qualified to express my views which should be governed by facts.
 First-How many people in the city of Phoenix and Maricopa county that indulge in the drinking of liquor would stop the habit if prohibition went into effect? Do you think he would say, I'll never touch another drop and quit? I say no he wouldn't He would obtain the stuff by other means and which would prove far costlier and thus deprive his family of even less than they are getting now.
 Second-Do we see cases of drunken ness now which would diminish in number by the act of prohibition? It is bad for d man to drink and then go home and abuse his family but to those who have witnessed the situa- ton. do you think that he would com pare with the man who takes his bot tie home?" This latter method is ten times worse, isn't it?
 Third-Arizona is young-saloons can be restrieted-the disorderly ones can have their licenses taken away We have closed them on Sundays and

MEMCANS RELEASED
 FROM TUCSON JAIL
Mexicans in Du Quesne Labor Case Will Go Horne With Money in Their Pockets After a Years Absence.

A short time ago it was announced in these columns that Consul A Pima. at the request of two Tucson attorneys had taken up with his government, the matter of a number of Mexican citi- zens who have been held practically incomnunicado in the Tucson jail since last summer. It was alleged that they were among a number of Mexi- cans who were brought to this coun- try by the DuQuesne Mining company under contract, in violation of the alien labor laws; that they were os- tensibly held as witnesses in a case to be brought against the DuQuesne com pany; that for some reason the United States district attorney had failed to bring the case to trial, utilize them as witnesses. pay them for their time. or give them their liberty until such time as they might be needed, or even to permit them to be interviewed by their friends.
 Friday Consul Pima received a tele- gram from the consul general in San Francisco saying that he had been ad- vised that the men were to be released and allowed to return to Mexico and would be allowed proper remuneration for the time spent in jail In harmony with this message is the following in the Tucson Star:
 The news that they are finally to be released from the detention house and allowed to return to their homes in the republic of Mexico was com municated to the men who have been held as witnesses in the DuQuesne cases yesterday, and they received il with every manifestation of pleasure.
 These men who are part of the la borers alleged to have been imported into this country by that company. under violation of the alien labor law, have been in the local detention house since last May and have been held, to all intents and purposes. prisoners in the strictest sense.
 Their release had not been expected this soon and they will leave for their homes Saturday with transportation paid and with a good sum of money. running better than s4O0 each, in their pockets. Most of them are men of families and will doubtless find a wei come at home that will in a measure repay them for their long incarcera- ton.
 It will not take them very long to pack their belongings for the trip. as none of them had a very large ward robe when they were first confined and it has not grown any better with time. The homes of all of them are in the state of Sonora.

all from which the law ought to re strain him; every man is under the natural duty of contributing to the necessities Of society. and this is all the laws ought to enforce on him: and no man having d natural right to be the judge between himself and an other. it is his natural duty to sub init to the umpirage of an impartial third.

after midnight week days-don't you believe we can do what really moral work We want without putting them completely out of business and thus work a hardship on our taxpayers and also upon the few families who are already having a hard time?
 Fourth-The point does not need discussion-you cannot help seeing what effect it would have on our city if her city revenue was reduced. Teachers would be discharged from our public schOOl-they would have to be because we wouldn't have the mon ey to pay their salaries. Our street department would suffer and that is d serious matter in our city particularly. Our alkali dust is promotive of ca tarrah. and the microbes which abound our streets would positively become dangerous to well persons. let alone those who are here to improve ip health and who are delicate and who would probably get worse from in- haling the floating impurities. Did you ever gaze up one of our well Wa tered thoroughfares at dusk and see the dust kicked up by passing vehi- cles? It is bad enough now, goodness knows. It is not but few years since our city funds were dry and when no one else could suggest a means of wa tering the streets the saloon men club bed together and paid for watering the streets directly out of their pockets or the drunkands' pockets-as you please.
 Fifth-Do you know how drink is obtained in Los Angeles on Sundays when the saloons are closed? Well, I'll tell you. the drinker goes to the prohibition town Of Long Beach" and there obtain as much and more than they desire at drug stores and by va rious other headquarters" They in dulge even worse than they would if it were handy-probably to eompen- sate themselves for the trip they had r to make to secure it.
 Prohibftionists I am with you and for you. but believe d time will come when your cause can be brought about with less discomfort to the men who have spent most of their lives here in hopes or seeing little boom; and now when our Chamber of Commerce, " Commercial Club" and numerous oth- CT quiet workers are bringing about the long looked for better times. it IS a positive wrong to lessen our city's funds, and placing our city in a. con- dition to drive away good investors who would locate here.
 I am aware of several real estate transactions which are under way and the closing up of same rests entirely whether the county goes dry or not.
 Our town will look like deserted village" if our saloons are removed. Rents would drop, and the man who has spent his life here awaiting the better times, as aforesaid, would get unfair treatment. Do these people who are agitating prohibition stop to think that they are spending the tax payers money by holding these elections. am quite sure that those at the very head Of the move, and am positive that those who are doing the most talking. have not revenue property in Phoenix The old business man built Phoenix. and now comes along a few men who are somewhat unjustly called stump speakers" who would do the business man a positive injury, and after doing so, move on to the next town.

son in that it attempts to control a mans appetite by legislation. and in making crimes out of things that are not crmes. A prohibition law strikes blow at the very principles on which our government was founded. l have always been found laboring to protect the weaker classes from the stronger, and l never can give my consent to such a law as you propose to enact Until my tongue shall be silenced in death. I will continue to fight for the rights of men"
 Horatio Seymour.
 'l owe it to the subject and to the friends of the measure to add the eX- preSsiOn of my belief. that intemper- ance can not be eXtirpated by prohib- itory laws: they are not consistent with sound principles of legislation. Like decrees to regulate religious crceds. or forms of worship. they pro- yoke resistance where they are de- signed to force obedience. The effort to suppress intemperance by unusual and arbitrary measures proves that the legislature is attempting to do that which is not within it's province to enact or its power to enforce. All experience shows that temperance. like other virtues. is not produced by law makers. but by the influence of edu- cation. morality and religion"
 General U. S. Grant.
 "l know from my own experience that when l was at West Point the fact that tobacco in every form was

 Samuel J. Tilden.
 Tt is no part of the duty of the ststte to coercc the individual man. except so far as his conduct may affect others: not remotely and consequcntially. but by violating rights which legislation can recognize and undertake to pro- tect. Tho opposite principal leaves nc room for individual reason and con- science trusts nothing to self-culture. and substitutes the wisdom of the sen ate and assembly for the plan of moral government ordained by Providence. The whole progress of society consists -.- " e'i mus Ai'N Ap eiAAtlili ny Alil pendent action or voluntary associa- ton of individuals those objects which are at first attempted only through the agency of government and in lessen ing the sphere of legislation and en- larsing that of the individual reason and conscience"
 John Quincy Adams.
 Forget not. I pray you. the right of personal freedom. government is the foundation of all our political and social institutions and it is by government alone that the law of temperance can be enforced. Seek not to enforce upon your brother by lesis- lative enactments that virtue which he can possess only by the dictates of his own conscience and the energy of his own free will.
 Ex-Governor Andrew of Massachusetts
 Artificial offences and meddlesome legislation. and that felt to be unjust. are. indeed. causes of crime of which the philosophical educator cannot af- ford to be ignorant. Artificial Of lenses put d large class of people and often that of the least discriminating and instructed, into needless antagon- ism with the law.

From the forgoing S16 OOOOO is a loss to-, the County General fund; which can only be made good by increasing the Farmers taxes.
 The total of the City revenue is required to meet current expenses, it cannot be aug mented without Territorial legislative action. Taxation is now at its highest lsgal limit. Reduced valuations inevitable, when the a. bove elminations occur, will pro-rata reduce the tax levy; this will precipitate financial climax for which there is no compensating advantage and no recourse, a condition as deplorable as 1t is unwarranted and irredeem- able.

 ''I believe the proposed amendment to the constitution is inexpedient. un- just. wrong in principle. and. if adopt ed, will be injurious in its conse- quences. Prohibition has been enacted in this state. thoroughly tried. and re- pealed by it's sponsors as a confessed failure"
 Roger o. Mills.
 ''I oppose the adoption of prohibition because it violates a fundamental principle of free government"
 Senator Coke of Texas.
 "Pronibtionists assume that the citizen is incapable of personal self government in respect of the use of all cohol, and would put a guard over his mouth to see that none enters. Their theory is at war with the theory of our government They are sapping and mining the very foundations of our free institutions in denying the power of the citizen to govern himself and his appetite. for upon the existence of this power depends the stability of our government"
 Sam Houston.
 Before the evils of intemperance can be suppressed by legislative enact ments natural laws must be repealed As long as the soil produces fruit and grain ardent spirits will be manufac- turcd and used as a beverage. To de- clare it to be a crime to manufacture and drink wine in moderation would, in effect. accuse Christ and the Holy Apostles of sinful practice. The first miracle of our blessed Saviour was the manufacture of wine out of water"
 Senator Sherman.
 The contest for ages has shown that the attempt te regulate the ap- petite of people cannot be successful. The sooner any community appreci- ates that the better. and no party can carry that load on its shoulders and succeed very long. We have got to get away from such nonsense"

in the mind of the citizen. If the law treats the sale of mug of beer or sweet cider as of like delinquency with the crime of larceny. how long will it take the humble and unlearned to conclude that the law is either a sham unworthy of VeneratiCn. or else jump to the converse of the first proposition, and vote larceny of an article to be no worse than the selling of the beer or the cider? So. therefore. every stat ute denouncing the penalties of tie criminal law against men in violation.
