About to Find Issue
in Commission Race

Another candidate in the city commits
sion race this fall is threatened
Report was general yesterday that the
Methodists of Birmingham, realizing that
at present the three candidates are Pres
byterians, are contemplating putting into
thu field good, old Methodist, staunch
and tried.
Scudder Ryall, Judge A. o. Lane and
Arlie Barber, the three active candidates
at present for the election to be held next
month for a commissioner to succeed
Judge Lane. are well-known Presby-
terians. On this account, 1t is said the
Methodists figure the PRESBYTERIAN vote
is split. and a good Methodist would
come through with colors flying
Other than this. no live issue has vet
been injected into the campaign, and It
seems probable none will be. None of the
candidates so far have come out on any
spectacular platform, and If the Metho-
dists should decide that the Presbyterian
phalanx is too strong to oppose this fall,
the campaign may be void of even that
much of an issue.

ing alarming, according to DR.. A, j. Gill

taken at once to relieve conditions that
promise to become epidemic.

tributions from the people. certainly
Birmingham can and will do.
ut has been suggested that the $780,
600 bond issue recently authorized was
partly for the purpose of tidng the city
over until october l, 1915, and this money
might be used to continue the present
garbage collection system until that date,
but this suggestion overlooks the fact
that the very heart of the trouble that
the city is in is using borrowed money
to pay current expenses. 1t has been
using borrowed money to pay current ex-
penses long enough. The city has obli-
cations matured and in sight, which will
take up all of this sum of 100000 be-
tween now and October l. There will be
no surplus.
II have just attended a meeting of
the representative women of Birming-
ham, representing all the civic, social and
fraterna womens organizations of the
city in the auditorium of the Chamber
of Commerce. They had a great meet
ing, full of enthusiasm and resolved
unanimously that this work should be
carried on intelligently and efficiently,
and pledged themselves to see that this
should be done.
1.-THE examples of these women should
be initiated by the men and
by the newspapers of the city.
These women are the practical house
keepers of the city, and they own and
preside over the premises in which
garbage originates. They are sensible and
practical women. They have pledged
themselves to this work, and if the prac-
teal and sensible men and newspapers
of the city will follow their example and
cooperate, and let no politics enter, the
problem is solved.
1.-The commission confidently hopes
that out of this trouble will emerge a
plan for the utilization of the city's
garbage in the manufacture of soap
grease and fertilizer so that instead of
being liability, the garbage of the city
will be an asset of the city, and the
commission promises the people that its
efforts will be steadily directed towards
the accomplishment of this purpose.
Necessity and science will bring this
about eventually"

GENTLEMEN WANT FAIR
 DIVISION OF STATE TAXES

Phoenix, Ariz. an. 26, 1915. To the Arizona State Legislature,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Gentlemen: Whereas, There is now pending before your honorable body a bill providing the method of taxing the mines of the state and fixing arbitrarily the amount at which the various mines are to be assessed; and,
 Whereas, The question of mine taxation is one of almost unlimited scope; and,
 Whereas, The members of the Legislature. owing to the great stress of work they must do in a limited time, have not the time to thoroughly investigate the ques- tion; and,
 Whereas, The state has and maintains, at many thousands of dollars expense per annum, a Tax Commission whose duty it is to fairly and equitably assess all classes of property; and, Whereas, Failure of one class of property to bear its just pro- portion of taxes works ans injustice on the other classes, and failure on the part of the mines to pay their just proportion compels the cattle interests to pay more than theirs; now, therefore, be it Resolved, by the Executive Committee of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association, That it is the unanimous opinion of the members here assembled that the interests of the state would be best served by leaving the ques- tion of mine taxation with the Tax Commission; and, be it fur. ther
 Resolved, That we respectfully suggest that if this, thetone com plicated taxation question with which we are confronted, is to be taken from the control of our ex- pert taxing body that we have little or no use for that body and further suggest for vour consider ation that the Tax Commission has, as yet, had no opportunity to prove its entire worth, having been denied the opportunity by the operation of the previous specific mine tax law of formulat- ing a constructive policy of mine taxation that would be fair to the mines and other classes of prop erty; that they have already found, as nearly as possible, the full cash value of other classes of property and in order to fairly equalize the taxes as between the mining property and other classes they should in some way ascertain the reasonable full value of the mines of the state, to do which has never before bee n attempted.
 Respectfully submitted,
 .. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Arizona Cattle Growers Asso-

 Market Letter for the Past Week.
Kansas City Market Letter
tBy j. A. Ricuar,. C5rrespondenu


 Is, 1915. Cattle sales today were steady to weak, as compared with the middle of last week, exceptions stronger. A drove of I425 pound fat native steers sold at 7.s5, a load of Nebraska steers well filled, I2so pounds average, sold to an order buyer at 7.3o, little more than the owner expected, and some I4o6 pound Colorados brought 6 So The market on prime steers was not tested, but the best cattle would stop some where around 500. A drove of high class Panhandle heifers, 673 pounds average, sold at 7.S5 to an order buyer for shipment east; the heavy end of these heifers, weighing about 75o pounds, re- ceived several bids of 700, and sold close to that price. A packer buyer picked up load or two of odd COWS around 500, and con- sidered them higher than last week. Stock steers sold at 6.2o to 6.7o, strong to higher prices. Veal calves remain firm, best at Io.75. Quarantine cattle receipts are very light, only II cars here today, including 7 loads of good steers weighing II26 pounds at 6.s5. Receipts here today are less than 4ooo cattle, and the supply around the circle is moder- ate, except at Chicago where 23,- 900 head were received. Various quarantines at every market have re estricted movement of stockers and feeders greatly, although ship ments from here to any state east is unhampered, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma have temporarily put up the bars against cattle from the outside. Removal of much of the country demand, and the necessity of the fat cattle mar ket standing on its own legs are important reasons tor the present unsatisf factory state of the market. No new cases of foot and mouth disease were reported last week. and a high government official stated that in that event he would consider the disease very close to being completely wiped out.
 Hogs made some advances late last week, and sold 5 higher to order buyers today, steady to strong to packers, top 6.8o, bulk 6.6o to 6.75, receipts $500. Mark cts west of the Mississippi are lightly supplied today, and prices here show the advance noted in the face of a decline in Chicago. Order buyers can ship to any point in the east from Kansas City, but are hampered in ship ping out of Chicago by govern ment regulations, hence good market here today to order buy CTS who paid 6.75 to 6.So for most of their hogs, packers paying 6.6o to 6.75 for mixed loads
 Sheep and lambs sold Is higher today, receipts 10, ,ooo head. Sev- eral droves of lambs sold at S.25, prime lambs might reach s. 40, and fancy ewes are worth 6.25 to 6. 50. Rather light receipts are in sight for later this week, and our market should continue strong. Feeding lambs sell, at 7.Go to SIS.
