According to press reports Mark
Smith is on the job at Washington.
He appears today before the Senate
Committee on Territories to argue
for the admission of Arizona to
statehood. In the meantime, dear
Ralph is doing his usual stunt, mis-
representing the people Of Arizona.
And if Arizona is admitted, it will
be because of the hard and per-
sistent efforts of Mark Smith and
Aiizona's friends in Congress. Cam

MAY BE, BUT


Mr.. Bishop asks why the assessor
wishes to make this county first
class" Mr.. Bishop is the only per-
son who has said he wished to make
it first-class. BY reading the re-
ports of the newspapers, Mr.. Bishop
knows that the policy followed by
the assessor of Graham county was
simply in keeping with an agree
ment entered into by all the as
SCISSORS of the Territory, to assess
all property alike, no matter what
county it might be in, so that all
would pay an equal proportion OF
Territorial tax. with the result that
one class of property would be raised
in one county and another class in
another county. For instance the
improvements and machinery Of the
mines in all the mining counties
have been raised and the farms in
all the farming counties.
This agreement was entered into,
we admit, without Mr.. Bishops con-
sent. and no doubt, before he be-
came corporation tool. Every as
SCISSOR has complied with that agree
ment, although Graham county
seems to be the only county to de-
velop a Moses-Ananias in the form
of Bishop, to attempt to reduce cor
porate taxes at the expense OF poor
err property owners.
Mr.. Bishops claim that the as
SCISSOR is trying to make Graham q
first-class county in order to raise
his own salary is so absurd that even
the children give it the laugh, know
ing that the assessor can hold the
Office not more than two or three
months beyond the time OF the final
meeting of the board of equaliza'
ton in August. Mr.. Bishop knows
this as we'll as anyone, yet he per
sists in trying to convince his few
subscribers otherwise.
Yet, Notwithstanding all his un
derhand work and his desire to assist
the corporations, we believe there
is a lot of good left in Mr.. Bishop
In fact, we know there is. . He ha
apologized to Dave Claridge for hi
attack on him; he nearly overturned
the milk bucket to assure Andrew
Woods that his trade against hin
did not mean anything, but that h
loves him dearly; he confessed tina
he was among the few politician
who attempted to trade on the as
SCISSORS office Tor their own pehen'
although each man with whom the
attempted to trade had too muc
honor to fall into the trap they ha
laid. He has confessed that he wi
give anyone the double cross q
times and places suiting his CONVEX
fence: he has even confessed that h
loves the Mormon people.
We believe there is great DEF
of hope for Mr.. Bishop yet. II b
keeps on confessing we would M
be surprised to see him finally b.
come a good citizen.

Although the democratic party

sessed by no other party in

force a compliance with her demands.

The outlook for some conspicuous
tennis next spring at Colby Is bright.
Colby has never had Il team that she
felt confident could enter the intercoi-

this changed.
Several new men have appeared on
the campus to exhibit marked aptitude
towards the game, notably. Carpenter
of Exeter, who played on his school
team during his entire stay and Was
one of the leading cup winners.
Also, Colby's quartet OF last spring
has been in earnest practice for the
fall tournament that Is to come off
some time in October. Morse In par
tieular had been playing practically all
summer and should be heard from
Joy and Hill. the intereollegiates OF
1911 at Brunswick. are putting up
strong games and much is expected Of
them.
Thus, with all the old material and
many promising new men, the sport
seems to be returning as never before.
Tennis is a fine game and never Is
there anything more interesting to
watch provided 1t be of first class CALI
bre, and this will be the aim of all.
