Both Sides of the Liquor Question

(By the Anti-Prohibition League.)
y bundle of statistics was given
out by Nathan A. Cole, director OF
publicity of the "wets," in an effort
to refute recent claims that Rockford
is better off since the saloons were
put out of business there three years
ego. The statistics are included in
q letter from Hugo S. Grosser, who,
as is we'll known by Chicagoans, has
been long on statistics for many
years.
The letter follows:
Chicago, March 10, 19f0.-Nath-
an A. Cole, Director of Publicity and
Organization.-Dear Sir: note a
statement from one of the leading
members OF the Illinois Tax associa-
ten as follows:
The putting out Of the saloons
will increase the revenue as shown
in Rockford, where the tax rate on
$500 in 1907 with saloons was $685.
and without saloons IN 1908 was
$3.50, and in 1909 $5.79. Natural
increase in the growth of the city, as
sessing $1,4O0,00O, which had not
been taxed before and between $3,-
100000 and $4,OO0,OOO in new i'm
rprovements accounted for 1t.
"A similar statement appeared in
the Illinois ISSUE the organ of the
Anti-Saloon league. This statement
is so much at variance with the truth
and so misleading and insincere that
I cannot let it go unchallenged. In
the first place the figures quoted are
not the tax rate but the actual tax
on property, the full value of which
is $500. Further, the amount is the
full amount of all taxes, including
state, county, town, road and bridge,
city, schools, library and park taxes,
of which only the city tax proper, and
the road and bridge tax-which in
Rockford goes into the fund of the
city engineer-have a bearing upon
the question at issue.
''The city tax-that Is. the only
tax for corporate purposes-on $500
worth of property, equal to the tax
rate on each 800 taxable value,
amounted to $1.S3 in 1907, $1.57 in
E19O8 and $1.95 in 1909 computing
Ion the 1-5 basis), and it may be
noted that in 1907 a tax of s9,740.65
equal to a tax rate of $1.95 on each
$500 taxable value. was levied for
the completion of the new city hall,
for which no levy was made in the
years following.

The judgment of the congress is
backed by the 1000 practical farmers,
all selected men, and the $500 bust
ness men who attended the greatest
gathering the st. Paul municipal audi
torium has ever housed, and the most
important sessions of their kind ever
held in the west

Governor Eberhart as president. It

and business men, with a mid-winter

! and 1908 was so cents on each $1OC
and 50 cents (1-3 value) in 1909
which on the LIS basis would amount
to 60 cents.
"The tax levy for city purposes is
determined by the appropriation for
corporate purposes, after deducting
from the amount appropriated all
other revenues of the city; the bal
ance remaining is the amount to be
raised by taxation. In 1908 the ap-
preparation bill had been passed be-
fore Rockford became dry territory,
thus including in the anticipated rev.
enue for the year $4,000 from Ii
quor licenses. The total appropria-
ton for the general fund for that
year amounted to $50, $3.50. The
income from all sources except taxes
was estimated at $65 ,27717, thus
making necessary a tax levy of $25,-
27S.63 for the general fund. In 1907
the tax levy for this fund was $2O,-
047.67; in 1909 the levy for this
fund was sS8,923.S7, as the appro-
priation amounted to $117, 3O9.5S,
while the revenue from other sources
was estimated at only S2S,3S5.71.
''This then is absolute. proof for
the claim that the closing of the sa-
looms caused a considerable increase
in the taxes.
And here is another proof of the
insincerity of the prohibitionists. In
making up their tax figures as a
whole they do not state that the
school tax rate in 1907 was SAT-, in
1908 was $2.23 and in 1909 was
Sis, on the 1-5 basis. The higher
tax in 1907 was caused by a large
levy for the school-the school build
ing fund for the erection of a high
school the total levy for school pur-
poses amounting to $265, 561.62 in
1907, S21S, 502.S3 in 1908, and
$1s2,90S.66 in 1909.
THAT part of the statement refer
ring to the increase in the growth of
the city furnishes another proof on
the insincerity of the prohibition
lists. The natural increase in the val
ue of property in Rockford was less
in 1909 than in the years preceding.
1t amounted to S2,293,S92 from
1908 to 1909, to $2,S5S,6S from
1907 to 1908, and to $7904,475 from
1906 to 1907. Expressed in percen-
tages, the increase in property values
from 1906 to 1907 was 2O.6 per
cent, from 1907 to 1908 60 per cent,
and from 1908 to 1909 40 per cent.

MANN TO RETURN.

Extraordinary interest will doubtless
be aroused by the announcement that
Louis Mann, who was here a few
weeks ago, is to appear at the Grand,
Davenport, next Friday evening, in his
mastery production of 'The Man Who
STOOD Still" So many calls have been
made that Mr.. Mann has consented to
return and revisualize the role Of John
IKrauss before local .1laygoers. Return
engagements, Mr.. Mann has found out,
have always been attended by capacity
audiences, and it is advisable for those
who plan to take advantage OF Mr..
Mann's presence in Davenport to re-
alize that he is to be seen there for
only one performance. Mr. Mann is to
be supported by the same company
that was with him on his last appear
ance here. The cast is headed by
Madame Mathilde Cottrelly, who will
be remembered because of her delight
full fmpersonation of Katrina, his spin
ster sister, and Louis Hendricks, who
will be seen as his bosom friend and
crony, Spiege1.

THE FIRST BROADS|DE IN
CONSTITUTION FIGHT


Possessed of an abiding faith and
confidence in the honesty, fairness and
discretion of the people and that they
are capable of wise and just self-gov-
eminent, we stand for the principles of
the initiative and the referendum, the
one to enable the people to initiate the
enactment of needed laws by direct
vote, and the other to enable the peo-
pie To pass final judgment upon unde-
sirable legislation by direct vote, both
OF which should also be extended to
municipalities.
Believing, as we do, that all officers
should be responsible for their conduct
to the people direct and not to polite
al bosses or political managers, and
in order 10 insure the honest selection
and election of officers and better
public service upon their part, as well
as party integrity, we stand for a
clause in the constitution directing the
legislature to enact a suitable primary
law, including the right of the people
to vote for their choice for United
States senators together with pro-
vision for the recall as a safeguard
against derelict officials and a corrupt

DIVISION was S2i,2o5.SO, and on the
G.. V. G. * y. division it was sos, 764.
Not Satisfied.
Gibson Taylor counsel for the Ari-
IONA Eastern, who has represented it
before the board in it's request for "a
reduction of trackage valuations, is
still in the city, and stated last night
that he intended to go before the
board again today and request still
further action in the reduction Of
valuations. He said he did not believe
the board had gone far enough in
merely reducing the few miles of new
railroad and the seven miles between
Tempe and Mesa which is used but
little. He contends that the earning
value of railroad is the chief thing
to consider in fixing it's assessable
valuation, and that by that rule the
O. V. q. & y. and NJ q L. proper
ties are valued inequitably, as COM
pared with the Arizona & New Mex
leo and the FL Paso q Southwestern.
The board. on the other hand, con
tends that the physical condition of
the Arizona & Eastern properties is
SO much better than that of the two
roads named in comparison as to
justify the rates made. The valua-
tion per mile placed on the roads in
question in June for track and fran
chise is as follows:
Arizona * New Mexico ....... S6,0S6
FL Paso q Southwestern 49,. $500
ella Valley. Globe & Northern. $685.
Maricopa IL Phoenix ......... 1878
In making his illustration. Mr.. Tay-
Tor said that the net earnings of the
Arizona q New Mexico are 2.6 as
great per mile as the net earnings
of the G.. V. G.. d N, and six times
as great as the net earnings per mile
of the NJ. & 2. The net earnings of
the FL Paso & Southwestern are -1.79
as great as the net earnings of the
G. V G. & n. and four times as
great as the net earnings of the NJ.
& p. And yet the ella Valley was
valued at $65 per mile more than the
FL Paso & Southwestern, the net
earnings of which were nearly four
fifths as much again. And the NJ &
p valuation was only s752 per mile
less than that of the FL Paso &
Southwestern, which earned four
times as much And continuing. he
pointed out that the Arizona & New
Mexico. earning 2.6 times as much
per mile as the Globe road and six
times as much as the NJ. & p. was
valued at $2.6O9 per mile less than
the Globe road and s1,792 per mile
less than the NJ. & p.
Mr. Taylor said that the Arizona
Eastern felt that by fixing the values
with greater regard for the physical
properfv than for tho earnings IL was
being penalized for putting its earn
ings into better roadbed and equip
ment, instead of declaring dividends.

The Nominations.


Now the real business of the con-
vention was at hand and the nominal
ton of candidates for delegates to the
constitutional convention was begun.
There was never before such a carni-
val of eulogy in Phoenix. Frank Lyman
entered upon flight of adulation and
before he had half finished il was sus-
pected that the IMAM he had in mind
was Judge Baker. and sure enough the
suspicion was verified. Judge Baker
was seconded by half the convention
throughout the period of nomination.
Charles Pendergast was for Judge
Baker, for he had known him for thir-
ty years and Mr. Pendergast resented
the disposition of upstairs To butt into
the politics of the county and tell the
Hassayampers how things should be
done. c. B. Wood nominated Lysander
Cassidy and W. d. Bell. to the end that
the great agricultural interests of the
territory should not be neglected in the
