MAINE MAN WRITES
 ON GARBAGE PLAN
Official of Portland, Me-, Explains How City Cares For Its Own
 Garbage Matter.

Arthur M. Soule, secretary of the department of overseers of the poor at Portland Me-, has written a letter to several local people explaining the way in which the garbage question is cared for in his city. Councilman information from him.
 MT. Soule writes that since the city of Portland turned over the collec- ton of garbage to the department of which he is secretary. instead of giy- ing it to private individuals ss in for mer years, the results have been bet ter. Collections are made twice each week The idea worked out is that the city is divided into nine districts so that the drivers cover the entire city twice every seven days. They are working in some portion of the city every day, but it is so planned that they get around to the same places only twice each week.
 In Portland nine drivers are en- ployed at $52 per month, thus mak- ing an expense of $5,616 for the wages of drivers. The man to take charge of the piggery gets $50 per month. The expense for keeping the horses used in hauling teams is about $4,00 per year. MT. Soule states that tour receipts are about equal to the ex- pense so that you will see we about break even on proposition, but this year we are hoping to a make profit as we intend to keep nogs until they get to be a good size and sell them" when we can get a good price for them. In the past they had sold the hogs when small and consequently got but few dollars for each.

A socialist rally was held Saturday

so is the theory of the Christian religion.
If we could only live out some of

we would not need jails long--nor much

PROHIBITION WILL NOT IN
CREASE TAXES
PIMA, ARIZONA,
October E7, 1914

EDITOR GUARDIAN:--I notice in
circular sent out by the Local Self
Government League" statement
to the effect that the tax rate in
Graham county for 1918 was S1.94,
which they claim was the highest in
the State, by which they attempt to
prove that prohibition will raise
taxes.
The people of Graham county, of
course, know how absolutely false
this statement is, for they know
that the tax rate last year was 81 so
on valuation of approximately
$4,000, 100000, and most of them
know that 1876 of this went to the
State and that 40 went to the
schools, the balance being for county
expenses proper.
They refer to Cochise county in
the same circular with tax rate of
$l.05, but fail to state that Cochise
had valuation of about 1000,
10000 on which this rate was levied,
so it is easy to determine the vast
difference in the amount which Co.
chise raised for county purposes and
what Graham raised for the same
purpose.
1t is fact that the per capita
tax in Cochise county in 1918 was
$26.57. as against per capita tax
in Graham of $14.94.
We have a right to assume that
the balance of the statements made
by this league" are no more ac-
curate than the one referred to, and
If such is the case voters ought to
know how much reliance to place in
them.
We should not be deceived. Pro-
hibition will not increase taxes.

Chairman Board of Supervisors.
