CHAIRMAN VIELE WANTS GREATER PERCENTAGE OF COUNTY'S POPULA- TON INTERESTED; AUTO ISTS BOND SLACKERS.
(From Sundays Daily.)


 Loan committee for this county yes terday addressed the following letter to district chairmen, outlining his plans for raising the county's quota for the forthcoming Fourth Liberty | Loan:
 Prescott, Ariz., Sept. 21, 1918. District Chairmen Fourth Liberty | Loan:
 Am sorry to advise you that up to the present date, I have not received | from the State committee the amount which will be asked from this county for the Fourth Libtrty Loan, the in terest payable on the loan, nor the allotment to Yavapai county. There is a general impression however that tho size of the Fourth Liberty Loan will be S6,000,000, twice the amount of the Third Liberty Loan.
 On the basis of three billion dol ! lars, Yavapai County was asked to subscribe S570,000 and I assume with out any definite knowledge on the subject that we will be asked to raise Sl, ,l4OOO0 at least for the Fourth Lib | crty Loan. I am sending you herc- with sheet showing the subdi- visions of the county which have been made for the purpose of distributing the soliciting of subscriptions, as well as the names of the chairmen who have been asked to take care of the executive work in the subdivisions. It is expected of course that the chairman will appoint various work CTS to assist him in this work and i they arc also asked to take care or | the subscriptions in the smaller pre- cincts which are shown in the last column. Tn the Third Liberty Loan on the basis of estimated populatior i for Yavapai County of about 1S,OOu we secured 6,600 subscriptions or about 34 per cent. I would suggest that in this Fourth Loan, if the head of family subscribes for bond that i he be asked to make his subscrip- tions. partly in his own name and part in the name of his wife or his children. For instance if man who subscribes for $500 has wife and two children, if he would take d $50 bond for each child and Sl0O fos | his wife and $500 for himself, fl ] instead of one It would be matter of great pride to this county II We could have a total number of sub scriptions in excess of 40 per cent oi our estimated population, and it can be easily done in this way
 I find upon investigation that ir, the City of Prescott there are l25 owners Cf nlc~--ire automobiles who '~--~ :--' subscribed to the Liberty i Loan. eugg t that a careful can vass of all automobile owners be made to the end that every man who | drives a pleasure car should be the owner of at least one Liberty Bond. . At Prescott we arc making great use of the women for the purpose ot soliciting.
 As a means of having workers who have direct interest in the situation we suggest the obtaining of names oi the people in your district who have relatives enlisted or drafted into the war and appoint them on a soliciting committee. Anyone who has a relat i've in the service has much more force to their arguments that support is needed than those Of us who have no relatives.
 The names of all precinct chairmer have been given to the central com- mittce at Phoenix with the request that literature, posters, buttons. etc. be sent direct to the chairmen. If you have not received any literature by the 18th of this month please wire mc at once SO that I may get the same to you promptly. It is particu- larly desired that the largest possible subscriptions may be obtained on the opening day of the campaign. May I suggest that on the closing of buSi- ness on September 18th, each chair man mail me a statement showing the number of subscriptions received and the total amount in dollars and cents of said subscriptions, and l shall be glad to have weekly there after a corresponding statement. Up 10 the present time in HavapaI county we have not solicited the country districts sufficiently. l sug gest that some person who has time and an automobile be asked to donate his services and his car and go to the country districts taking with him one or two workers who arc able to talk on this subject, and sec # the rural returns cannot be greatly increased
 All banks will give every assistance in their power to carry subscribers who are not able to pay for their subscriptions in accordance with the government regulations Many of the mining companies and other compan ies in this state are accepting their employees subscriptions taking from 10 to g per cent of the subscriptions down and allowing the payments to be made in monthly installments SO as to complete the payments in six to eight months The banks will certainly be willing 10 do equally well for subscribers
 In former campaigns we have not found it necessary in this county to ! take any drastic measures with those who failed to subscribe to the Liberty Loans. Everyone from the Secretary | of the Treasury down to the last worker in the ranks feels that the present loan is the most important ol all It Is necessary to show to the I
