If the United Verde tax case is a
political question, as Prescott's two
democratic editors claim, then there
are more republicans in Prescott than
the writer has ever seen before. Out
of the scores of people who have
spoken to the editor of this paper on
the question only one has attempted
to defend the action of the board of
supervisors. The politics of these

they were all good substantial citizens
and tax payers.

tinue the work of blowing up the
court house plaza to those hideOus

east corner, it will begin to look like
a grain or two of common sense was
going to be used in beuatifying the
place.

bitt of the town council went out to
the town reservoir TO investigate the
water proposition. There is about
200, 900 gallons of water going to waste
daily, and it would be a business
