Tor complaint than tenants i'll Petro-
grad By official decree, according
10 radio dispatch from Moscow,
Petrograd rents have been increased
by 1000 times the amount paid on
October l.
Previous to last summer, no rents
1t all were paid under the bolshevik
regime. In accordance with the new
economic policy, nominal rents were
instituted several months ago, per-
sons paying perhaps 1000 rubles
monthly for large apartment
This sum, in American money, rep
resented about two cents monthly,
but was, perhaps. one-fifth OF the

The raise in rents was simultane-
Gus with the inauguration of a new

some persons having their salaries
increased by as much as 500 or 1000
times.

new LEGION NAN
IS LITTLE But OH
MY; his CAREER"

Albert D. Akin, aged %, new COM
mander of Ernest Love post, Ameri-
can Legion, IS a product OF Arizona
If there ever was one, although Geor-
gia claims him as a native son. He
has done everything except practice
law, though Lord knows he has de
seconded low enough in MS life work
hes been printer, pressman and
even reporter on newspapers, and
one time almost owned one-at
Wickenburg.
When he was not running the old
Wickenburg Miner with his dad, he
was handling about every kind of
JOB the fates threw his way. He
guarded an oil well pumping plant
in California He trucked mine sup
plies and once saw a huge lorry-
load of dynamite go swirling down
under him in a deserts flood near
Wickenburg, but did not finch nor
get blown up. He returned safely
from that trip only to poke his head
into greater danger. He enlisted and
soon became a sergeant in the Ari-
IONA militia and used the experience
he had accumulated during earlier
enlistmcnts i'll the Georgia troops.
He served on the border before the
war, where he became one of the
distinguished list of admirers of
"Hard-Boiled' Smith, whom he later
helped escort through several arron-
disements of La Belle, France, after
the Arizona regiment had become
the 15Sth infantry and was part of
the famous Fortieth division
Akin came back from the over
seas party and decided to settle
down in Prescott, where he had
relatives, to-wit: one mother, one
sister He got him a job as city
salesman for Dixon Fagerberg and
in spite OF the TACT he has been Civ
ing strong attention TO legion mat
tiers, has managed to hold his job.
He is an Elk and prominent
member and an officer in the Knights
OF Pythias and Dokeys. In stature
he is short; hair light; character de
termined. He never lets anything
get by that should be attended to-
That is regarded by his friends and
supporters OF his candidacy for the
commandership as an asset more
valuable than great riches, and the
legion anticipates cashing in on it
during the forthcoming year.

NOT GUILTY IS
TAPIA VERDICT
Man Charged With Manufacture
of Intoxicating Liquor Freed;
Categorically Denies Knowl-
edge of Alcoholic Arts
CFrom Fridays Daily

A series of categorical denials ut
tered from the stand by Juan Tapia,
testifying in his own behalf during
hearing on a complaint charging him
with the manufacture of alcoholic
liquor, yesterday morning featured
the defense of Tapia. A verdict of
not guilty was handed i'll by the jury
shortly after court convened for the
afternoon session.
Tapia denied that he had ever
made Intoxicating liquor, that he
knew how to make it, that he had
ever seen anyone make it, and that
he knew of the existence of the still
in which he was charged with hav-
ing made it. He had never seen the
still, he said, until shown it by the
officers.
He admitted owning the house in
which the still was found and in
which liquor was alleged to have
been made, but said he lived fully Is
feet away from the house, in another
building. The house, he said, was
occupied by two boys who rented
it from him. He denied any knowl-
edge OF his tenants means of gain
ing a livelihood.

Judge John J. Sweeney. The mo-
ton was based on the grounds that
no connection had been shown be-
tween the defendant and the still and

said to have been made by Tapia.

by John Renoe Ashurst of Russell,

CFrom Thursdays Dailvl


Ii we had the courage" remarked
a prominent business man yesterday.
ito go after the things which can
be obtained, for Prescott, the popu-
lation OF this city would be ten times
what it is today Prescott will go
so far ahead OF itself, once its
streets are paved and the business
district ornamentally lighted, that
the natives will wonder what hap
pened.
The greatest asset that Prescott
has is its climate and every time
you boost your climate, you are
boosting not only Prescott, but the
balance of the county, for sooner or
later. any health seeker who re-
covers, is on the lookout for some
thing which will interest him and
he must go beyond the bounds OF
Prescott in more cases than one.
Here's hoping that the chamber
OF commerce will make it an order
for finished business this year, to
see that a modern. first-class hotel
Is provided in this city"
