Continued from Dec, 3O) State Per Capita Tax

In conclusion I can only say that it is my belief that there is not a single head of any department of the State Government but that would gladly welcome honest ad- vice to the end that his particular department be conducted as econ omically as is consistent with eff ciency. However, as I have herein shown the total salaries and ex- pense of all departments of state including Governor, Supreme Court and every other state official and employee, aside from those of the State Asylum for the Insane, Prison, Reform School snd Pioneers Home, amount to only four per cent of the total taxes levied and collected in Arizona for all purposes. Thus it is plain that at best the saving that could be effected from this source would scarcely be appreciable to the average taxpayer.
 It is peculiar fact that probably four fif.hs of all state salaries, as we'll as a great proportion of the moneys appropriated for mainten- ance of the State Institutions, State Flir, etc., are spent right here in Phoenix and Maricopa County. It therefore seems the more remark able that at least four-fifths of the knocks and complaints originat- ed from Phoenix also.
 Is it not about time for the knocker to lay aside his hammer and assist those in authority by his advice and counsel, rather than by false and misleading statements con- corning Taxation, thus irreparably injuring the state from the stand point of the prospective settler, in vestor and security purchaser?
 Very respectfully,
 CHAS. R. HOWE
 Chairman, State Tax Commission

A LIFE OF ADVENTURE

Would you leave home, friends and country and go into a strange land just because God told you to? Abraham did and won undying Fame. In this far west many men have come, who have left home, friends and all only to win never ending shame. What makes the difference? It is all depending on how you Go and what was the motive that prompted you.
 The subject for the morning ser vice at the Methodist Church will be: The Thrilling Story of Abra- hams Great Adventure. In the evening the pastor will speak of an Oriental Love Story, or The Quest for Wife," Good Singing at both services.
 The Sunday School is growing beyond our expectations. We had 22 in the Mems Class last Sunday. If you believe in a manly religion for manly men come with us.

Dear Sir
 In an alleged reply to Mrs. Luther Stover's recent article in your columns regarding segrega- ton in the local public school, I notice that MT. Lilo c. Padilla, a former employee Tn the the Will jams postofice, placed the word "Postofhce" immediately after his signature to the reply in question, implying thereby, in the minds of some people, that employees in the local postoffice concur in the opin- ions expressed by himself.
 In order that no one may labor under a mistaken impression, I de- sire to state that in so far as other employees in the Williams post office are concerned, the opinions expressed by MT. Padilla in the article referred to are solely his own.
 Very truly yours,
