Liquor Fighting its Last Fight

TO the Editor Of the Eyenino Public Ledger:
Sir-Ai,ow me to voice my protest against
the sentiment against prohibition IS ex-
pressed IN the Forum OF your issue Of the
18th by one who signs himself ''Vox Populi.
What right has he to speak for the people
and declare against the enforcement Of the
laws put upon our statute books by poiti
clans who could not hold out any longer
against public opinion7 Is he ashamed Of
his position that he cannot sign his own
manner
It should be evident to any one who Ia
open. minded on the question that the liouor
interests are fighting their last fight. and
with nothing to lose and a possibility Of gain
they are creating Intentionally such condi
tionS as to discredit prohibition. Eventually
public opinion will punish the yiolstors OF
the prohibition amendment and the laws
! etsctod for It's enforcement and then we will
see that all this fuss is boing stirred UP by
q minority who are trying 60 fasten an un'
desirable traffic upon us against the wishes
of the majority. J. p. HTCKOk.

P. K. Frank. representing the Auto mobile Blue Book of the United States was in the city Saturday on his way to Los Angeles Frank is engaged on on mapping the Bankhesd Highway from Dallas, Texas, to Los Angeles for the next years publication of that book.
 He was loud in his praise of the highway from Fl Paso to Tombstone, and insecuring every bit of informa- ton concerning the highway that he can obtain to put in the Blue Book He stated that the contractor on the 33-mile stretch from the Arizona line has completed the road from the line to Rodeo and for eight miles north of Rodeo toward Steins Pass. Frank ad- yised all tourists going to Fl Paso to take the road out Of Rodeo, via Anl- mas as it is much better, he said, thon the new road. which is very soft. It will take until about the first of next June to complete the 33-mile stretch to Steins Pass.
 Frank will map the highway thru Phoenix, ba; will return over the Ajo route and will show both routes in the new issae of the book He will also map the road from Benson to Lordsburg.
 Frank said he could not say too much about the roads in Cochise coun- ty as part .. the highway and that the Blue Book would certainly advo- cate the Bankhead route as the best all the year route to the coast He was very much interested in new work and stated that in several Texas counties paved highways were being constructed.

GIGANTIC TAX SUIT IS FILED

Probably the biggest tax sait ever filed in the state of Arizona vas in stituted last Saturday in Cochise county when County Attorney !. F. Ross filed with Clerk J. E. James of the Superior court blanket suit for the collection of 1916. 1917 and 1918 de- linquent taxes.
 The filing of the suit comes on the heels of the suit which was filed last year for collection of the 1915 taxes on which judgment will be secured with in the next two months and thousands of delinquent taxes will be received into the county treasury.
 The suit which was filed Saturday involves over 500 defendants. owners of real estate in the county on which taxes are delinquent for the three years named. X separate suit will be filed later on the 1918 and 1920 delin. quent lists
 In the complaint filed Saturday there were 1859 single spaced type written pages. including the names of the defendants. and description of property on winch collections of taxes are being sought.
 Attached to the huge complaint are some 2.00O pages of exhibits or tax bills. prepared by the office of Coun- ty Treasurer Guy C. Welch during the past year, in which is shown the amount of delinquency on each parcel of land. penalties ard interest. which will be used against each defendant in securing final judgment. Work in preparing the big complaint and al, taching exhibits has been in progress in the office of the county attorney since last May.
 Through the instituting of the 1915 suit, since it was filed, large num- Der of the property owners have paid up their delinquent taxes, although judgment will be secured on hundreds of property owners and their property sold for taxes. aggregating from 90 cents to hundreds of dollars
 It is figured that through both suits the county will collect in the neigh borhood of s5o.0OO in delinquent taxes.
