KIBBEY WANTS TO
 KILL THE TIGER
Continued from Page Five)

 proper thought, and to other causes rather than to the dishonesty of the off cers themselves. In fact, l would i'm pute no dishonesty in the premises. It is easily conceivable, however, that a county assessor, or a county supervisor, who owes his election to assistance re- ceived from mining company or to any other influential single interest may find it easy to believe the suggestions from that mining company or that other interest relative to its assessment should have too favorable consideration.
 Second Raise
 Following these conferences there was the most ereditable assessment of prop erty ever achieved in the territory. At it's meeting in August last, the territor- ial board of equalization found that the assessment rolls, returned from the sev- eral counties, aggregated $5S,000,000 as against $4S,000,000 in 1905. The terri. torial board found, however, after care ful consideration, that the assessed val. uation of mines were still so far below the level of other property that the in equality could not be overlooked. It therefore ordered increases amounting to four fold in Cochise county, two fold in Gila county, by one half in Mohave county, by one-third in Yayapai coun- ty, and double the assessment returned in Yuma county. The assessments re. turned by Graham county and by other mining counties were left undisturbed.
 Again, however, we find some of the great mining companies of Coehise and Gila counties refusing to pay the taxes computed on the raised valuations or dered by the territorial board, and they are attempting to enjoin by the process of the courts the collection of the taxes. It is significant that in none of these suits do these companies claim that their valuations are relatively higher than the valuations of horses, cattle, sheep, houses, lots, ranches, sewing ma chimes, or of any other property than possibly some ~mines. And the fact is that their valuations are unjustly lower than the valuations of other classes.
 Owing to the failure of county asses sors to assess mines at their proper rel ative value--owing to their custom of assessing all mines practically alike the owners of small and unproductive mines are porced to pay more than their share of mine taxes. There can be no doubt of that.

It was, indeed, in a state of wild disorder.
And Fannie did not attempt to straighten it..

that was all.

"No, indeed; Harry wouldn't notice it if I

"It wouldn't be of any use He isn't like

'Try it anyhow" urged Esther.
Fannie still hesitated, but Esther argued
so long and so eloquently ON the subject that
she finally consented rather reluctantly to try
the plan.
Together the two girls put the room in per
feet order, sweeping, busting and arranging
everything to the best of their ability.
"It makes a great change, anyhow" said
Fannie, when the, work was done "He can't
fail to notice it."
"Now, what else can we do for him?" ask
ed Esther.
