HARLOW AKERS, CANDIDATE
FOR SENATE, TO LEAD ANTI
PROBE FORCES OF STATE
Phoenix Attorney Wiz Make Vigorous Attack
Oh 18th Amendment OF Constitution
And VOlstead Act

PHOENIX June I0.-Hariow
Akers, former newspaper man
and state senator from Mari
ccpa county, who yesterday an
nounced his candidacy for the
democratic nomination for Unit
cd States senator from Arizona,
will lead the anti prohibition
fcrces of the state by a vigorous
attack On the eighteenth amend
nlent of the federal constitution
and the Volstead act. Rcmem-
bered for his strenuous cam
paign which gained him seat
in the upper house of the state
legislature, Akers is being look
ed upon to supply that action to
r primary election campaign
which up until now has been
lacking in energy.
Akers, when interviewed at his
law offices in Phoenix, emphasized
the statement that prohibition as
formulated by the eighteenth
amendment and enforced by the
Vola.ead act has been definitely
proved not only impractical, but
unquestionably harmful to the NOR
al and economic welfare of the ma
ton.
while there ic not the least de-
slre on the part of anyone to have
the old-time saloon days return to
us, there is no. the slightest reason
to doubt that we have exchanged
a sore spot for a contagious and
malignant disease The bar has NOV
ed from the tavern to the home.
Where the father or a wayward boy
did the drinking not so many years
ago, today we have added to them
the mothers and the daughters. In
spite Of the vigilance of all law en-
fcrcement organizations and the eX-
penditure of millions of dollars,
consumption Of alcoholic beverages
has not been diminished. In addi-
ton to a tax loss which has thrown
our local and federal governments
into dire financial difficulties our
prisons have become overcrowded
and the health OF the people i'm
paired, all because Of mistaken
notion in adhering to an impractical
and dangerous method of curbing
drink Akers said.
While Akers refused to stigmatize
generally the public as hypocritical,
he gave it as his studied opinion
that emotionalism and pride had
much to Go with retarding the cor
rection of an obvious mistake.
we have arrived at the point
where we must admit our mistakes
and proceed at once diligently and
honestly to correct them. We admit
that it is to the good of the in
dividual to be fair-minded about
personal delinquencies, to admit his
own shortcomings and forgive those
OF others and bend every effort to-
ward the improvement Of the self,

SURVEY SHOWS
DOLLAR BRINGS
81 IN RETURN
Federal Government To
Spend 100000 In
State This Year

The Federal government col
Iected S2.262 6I9 from Arizona
citizens last year in income tax
es and miscellaneous receipts
but will spend more than S16,-
GOO000 in the state this year
a return of more than 81 for
every 81 of income tax collect
ed.
These facts, based en- survey
which has extended over a conSid-
cradle space Of time, we're disclosed
yesterday by Edward Dorsey of
Phoenix, chairman of the Citizens
Committee ON Economic Stabiliza-
ton. The committee, on behalf of
the merchants of the state, has
been investigating to ascertain just
how much business Arizona mer-
chants would lose if various fed
eraI activities in Arizona were ab-
olished or. appropriations for them
greatly reduced.
''The committed" says the state
nlent issued by Mr. Dorsey upon
completion of the survey, lis agreed
that federal expenditures must be
reduced, useless federal activities
abolished, Implications of service
eliminated and wasteful practices
stopped, but Arizona business men
are going to stay on the job and
see that necessary beneficial forms
Of federal work in Arizona is not
eliminated under the guise of econ
ony. Such a program would save
the Arizona business man 81 in in
come tax but lose him over 81 in
federal business.
Expenses Listed
Certain agencies have been work
ing overtime to confuse the minds
Of the public in regard to federal,
state, county and city taxes. 1t is
time for Arizona business men to
ascertain the facts Federal taxes
are raised through income taxes. If
you do not make any money you do
not pay income taxes. State, cour-
ty and city taxes are assessed a.
gainst property and you pay the tax
bill whether you are making money
or not"
The committee found that the
federal tax dollar for the entire
United States was expended as fol-
lows during the past year: Veter-
ans administration, 24.66 per cent;
military, 1857 per cent; debt; 1892
per cent; public works, 1898 per
cent; treasury, 495 per cent; fed
eral farm board, 455 per cent; post
al deficiency, 3.44 per cent; agri-
culture, 800 per cent; miscellane-
Gus, 7.38 per cent.
State Benefited
Findings of the committee. ac-
cording to the report on its inves-
LEGATIONS, indicate that Arizona
business is greatly benefited by fed
eral expenditures in the state. Some
of the larger expenditures in Ar1-
zona by federal departments Tor
the fiscal year 1881 were: Veterans

sation to approximately 4,5OO vet
Grams, and hospitals at Tucson and
