 To the Taxpayers of Gila County, Ari-
 zona:
 The movement started some time ago to follow the example of Cochise and Greenlee counties in taking a greater interest in the administration of city and county affairs, has, with the cooperation of large number of persons, resulted in the formation of this association. In order to make the work productive of good results it is very necessary that every citizen of the county should take an active interest in the work and lend his in dunce to furthering the objects of the association.
 The newspapers of the County have already called attention to this matter and many have already signified their intention to join. Enclosed herewith is an application which yc-are urged to sign at once and mail to the presi- dent of the association, MT. G. H. Dow ell, Globe, Arizona.
 The annual dues have been fixed at ? per cent of the amount of taxes paid by each member for the previous year, with minimum of $1.00. In many cases this is but trif1ing amount, but the help of each taxpayer is earnestly solicited, aside from any consideration of his financial standing.

 While every confidence is reposed in the integrity of our public officers, we believe that by lending all the as- sistance possible from the association toward the proper performance of their duties according to law, many economies in the expenditure of pub lie monies can be effected, which could not otherwise be brought about; also should it be demonstrated that any new laws would prove beneficial to the county, our influence will be brought to bear towards securing the proper reviSiOnS.
 The organization, is not formed for the gain of any individual or corpora tion, and the benefits will accrue to each and every property holder in pro- portion to his holdings.
 Every member of the association is asked to cooperate with us towards the ends as outlined above and if you have any suggestions to make regard ing the betterment of our plans for obtaining results in the way of reduc- ing pubic expense to the minimum, letter to our president will receive prompt attention.
 Remember that you are a stockhold- CT in Gila county and no matter how small your taxes are, we again urge you to send at once your application for membership to the association. (S1gned) G. H. DOWELL
