 Dear Sir:z
 No one can look at the press of the day without being immediately struck with the wide spread move ment aimed at the cutting down of public expenditures the country over turing the year 1921. Eyeryone is ready to admit the wave of extrava- gance in private and public life tol- lowing the cessation or the war Te.s haps no state in the union has in dulged in this form of hySLeria 10 a greater extent than our own. T he writer is very foTcibly struck with the immediate necessity of retrenchment, and there seems to be no better way at hand of initiating the movement than by taking it up in each oi the counties of the state. If my recollec- ton serves me correctly, last year the cost of operating the State of .ArIzona as a business exceeded four million dollars. This is in excess oT q twelve dollar per capita cost. 1t takes TO profound thought on the 'iuojccs to see where such course would lead us during the ensuing year, which signs of the times indicate is soing to be a hard enc for all Of us.
 Added Burden Feared
 A very large portion of the taxes or the state, and particularly of this county. have always been paid by the mining industry. This tax is based upon production and not on physical valuation. There is no doubt but what production for at least the next two years will fall considerably below that of past years. The obvious re- suit will be to throw an added bur den of taxation upon the small tax. payers at time when they are less abe to carry even the ordinary bur den. We will be reniss in Cochise county, I think, if we do not take some immediate steps to bring this situation directly home to our tax payers so that some effort may be | made to reduce expenditures. s-- As Secretary of the Taxpayers As ;ociation of the county, you are the ogical person to put such plan in notion. Do you not think it highly desirable to call a representative and

 "The Haunted Bedroom
 Do you believe in ghosts? Of course not, neither did Betsy Thorne, but if you saw a weird figure moving about in the dim light of dilapidated graveyard, would you have the cour- age to try to solve the mystery? That was the task assigned her as a girl reporter in the latest Thomas H. Ince photoplay The Haunted Bedroom" starring Enid Bennett, which comes as a Paramount attrac< tion to the Central theater today and Eagle theater Thursday.
 It was Q mystery detective couldn't ferret out; it baffled a ma terialistic doctor; it staggered the reasoning of the owner of the prop erty and it surely was too much for the old coiored servant.

High Cost of Low Living
Respectfully yours.
 CHAS. M. RENAUD. A 1T SMITH

But the money cost is the smallest item of expense in dow living. The man who stamps on conscience and crucifies ideals and follows the beck and call of the lower side of his nature. following on in the trek of lust and sensuality sacrifices the fin est and noblest things al life.
 His own nature is paying the price. He is daily dropping down into the animal. The law in his members is triumphing over the law in his mind.
 People who live low usually drag others down with them.
 If the sinner could be made to pay all the price of his folly. society might shut up; but the penalty wid- ems out and the innocent suffer This piles up the high cost of low living to staggering sum-
