COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS
 4 SPIRITED MEETING
Address of Senator Stapley Starts Discussion that Tables Busi- ness Session Until
 Next Meeting

The good attendance at the meet ing of the Commercial Club Tuesday evening is conclusive proof of the importance of the subject that was discussed As was announced in these columns some time ago Sena- tor Stapley spoke on taxation, snot state taxation which has already had it's share of publicity, but taxation right here at home in Mesa. The trend of his address raised the ques- tion as to how economy could be | introduced into the cities manage ment without sacrifice to efficiency. He estimated that on d three mil ! lion dollar property valuation a rate of two mills would be sufficient to take care of the city's expenses He pointed out that thought last years
 rate of taxation was lowered the valuation of property had been raised to a point where the sum total of taxes paid was not reduced to the extent that would seem to be ap- parent from the lower rate. Another | point brought out whereby taxation could be kept down was the use of earnings of the water works to pay ! the interest on the water works bonds. This interest, amounting to $3.000, could be easily paid out of these earninggs which were said to be from $500 to s6O0 per month. Ire intention was to allow the Senator 20 minutes and then proceed with business matters. but the discussion
 which followed lasted until II o'clock necessitating the postponement of the business until the next session.
 The sewer proposition and the sanitary condition of the streets and alleys were brought up during the discussion and a committee was ap- pointed to call on the city council at their next meeting. regarding
 these matters. O. s. Stapley to put before them the sewer question and P F.. Fuller that of sanitation | of streets and alleys.

FORECAST OF WARS AFTERMATH
Peace Brought by Destituton May
 Bring About Revolution

Great Britain alone is paying out 15 million dollars q day as it's share of war expenditure. It is estimated that if the fighting shall continue until April 1916, war expenses alone will amount to nearly 6l4 billion dollars. On the as sumption that the British colonies and the allies shall pay all charges on loans made to them from the British treasury and that increased taxation shall be equal to estimated return there will be deficit of more than 70 million dol lars, without any provision for the re- payment of new debt. With this con- dition facing the richest of the nations at war. what must be the prospect ahead for the other belligerents?
 In despite of the most resolute and searching economies. both on the part of rich and poor, there will be inevit- able national bankruptcies. Money shortage and food shortage will bring an enforced peace. But the aftermath of peace brought about by Restitution is almost sure to be revolution. The masses are asses; but there comes a time when the asses balk and turn on their lords and masters.-F'rom the Philadelphia Record

COMPLAINT IS MADE BY
 THE TAX ASSOCIATION
Statewide Organization Takes Issue With Budget Being Made up
 by Coconino County

The Arizona State Tax Payers As sociation yesterday made complaint to the Tax Commission relative to the yearly budget about to be adopt ed by CocOnino county.
 In the letter to the commission, the association states that the budget calls for $16760700 The letter claims that the total assessed valuation of the county for 1914 was $17,06S. .309, with the general rates exclusive of schools at 0.5625 which would pro vide a total of S96,71S Other col lections bring in $4S.S47 or a total of $145, 565. The total in excess is s14,- 556 or an ultimate to be adopted as budget, of $160,121. As matter of fact the letter claims the board has exceeded this by $7.000.
 They also call attention to the fact that the rate for road purposes has been increased from seven cents, to nineteen and five tenths cents.
 The tax commission will look into the claims of the alleged increases and take action according to their findings.
