WOrSley Tells
 Why Smith Not The Man State Ought To Have
(From Thursdays Daily)

l ] An equitable return to the arid states of the west for the vast con- tributions they have made to the wealth of the nation, and sharp ac- counting for the railroads for their assistance to the trusts in exploiting the people, were two chief points in the campaign address of Hon A. A. Worsley at the Elks theater last night before a crowd of between 200 and 300 who remained after the show. Mir. Worsley spoke in a new and convincing manner, and only when he touched upon the project he had conceived for the construc- ton of d power house in the Grand Canyon did he lapse from very practical to a rather impractical view point.
 The candidate for United States senator on the democratic ticket was introduced by the Hon. P. w. O'Sul- livan, county chairman, as the great est exponent of democracy since the time of Patrick Henry
 He said he had supported his pres ent opponent, Senator Mark Smith six years ago on Smiths promise to do something about irrigation. With him as chairman of the senate re clamation committec,' he said, I've did not need any other committee membership in congress-. The sum total of Smiths work on reclamation, the speaker declared, was about zero. He said Smith had not even tried, and in common with any other hired hand who did not try, he should be fired
 Worsley is for a billion dollars in Ia reclamation fund and he said the west could get it by combiug against the rivers and harbors or pork bar rel bill that each session is thrown as sop to states having such things.
 His Cost Too Low
 In touching on the proposed can yon power project, the speaker said it was estimated in 1912 that a plant could be built for $35,OOO,0O0 to sup ply all Arizona with electricity at a cent a kilowatt. He thought that this might be safely raised 10 $50 .000O0O now. Herein, the speaker probably again shot too low, for it lis believed now that the project would require several times that sum.
 Touching on the matter of trans .portation, Worsley told of the troubles Of the old Farmers Alliance which was put out of business by the profitcers, aided by the railroads. He cited the matter of the coopcra- tive twine factories that for two years cut the price of binder twine from 16 to cents and then sue cumbed to a conspiracy for car shortage.
 Previous to the speaking, Judge Worsley was entertained at dinner at the Yavapai club. The guests in .cludcd Supreme Court Justice Henry ID. Ross, P. w. O'Sullivan, ]. II, Morgan, Fred Bowler, F. A. Rogers, H. w. Coruick, J. II. Robinson and oddly enough George A. Shea, whose presence at the function can only be explained by the necessity for re- publicans 10 watch thc democrats when they get together and plot against the whites.

 Bishop Asserts
(i'rom Thursdays Daily)

That an educational institution Of .collcgiatc grade, an annual summer assembly with an extensive entertain ment, educational and religious pro- gram, and the erection of a thirty thousand dollar church building ill Prescott, are included i'll the plans for the extension of the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, south in this community and the great southwest, was learned in all inter view granted a representative of the Journal-AIiner by Bishop Horace NJ. DuBose, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, yesterday at the home of Doctor J. A. Wales, pastor of the
 Nest Prescott Methodist Church south of this city.
 Bishop DuBose, wLo is in charge of the church organizations within the district embraced by California and Arizona, has his episcopate resi- dencc in San Francisco, Calif. lie authorized the following statement:
 q first visited Prescott two years ago, and was deeply impressed with the natural beauty Of the place, and its extraordinary advantages as a retreat and cultural center for inc whole southwest The importance at- tachcd 10 Prescott by the United States government also had weishe with me, and thc military csrabiish- mcnt here suggested to me a special opportunity for religious activity oil the part of my own church.
 Since then 1 have been earnestly at work upon several plans which l hope to see realized, some oi them at an carly day. The first of these, and the one in immediate prospect, is the building on our present site, of a new and commodious church build ing; carrying modern features oi church activity, with special reference to youthful and soldier life at hand
 "Auothcr plar with reference to Prescott is that the denomination which l represent is looking for a place to. build, within an early q period as financial ability will justify, an educational institution of collegiate grade, and Prescott seems to be the logical seat for such an enterprise. This movement is subject of course, to inc uncertainties that bcsct SO large an undertaking, but the ideal has both bottom and purpose.
 But the third plan which relates to Prescott is the establishment at a suitable place in the mountains near to the city of Methodist summer assembly. with an extended cultural and religious programme. have in company with Doctor J. A. Wailes, our pastor here, visited number of sites for this use, and have practi- cally settled on one pending the arrangement of satisfactory condi- lions If these are met, it is more than probable than an initial session will be held next summer
 As to OUT own church building here, I authorize the announcement that plans arc now in preparation by q local architect, and that we have cash and resources equal 10 twenty thousand dollars, before we ask the Methodist congregation Of Prescott and the general public for -

TAX RATE FOR COUNTY GUT
 ONE CENT
(From Thursdays Daily)

VI Olll HUI SNtN S DdLiN
 The price of government in Yava- pia did not advance this year over last, thereby showing it was not like the price of everything else Forty five and one half cents out of each hundred dollars of assessed valuation will pay not only the current ex- penses of this county, but will repay %5,000 toward q redemption fund for the county road bonds, it was an nounced by Clerk R. E. Donovan at the supervisors office yesterday.
 Last year the combined county and state tax rate was 94 cents. This year the two added together are 93 cents.
 With that cheerful note struck 5t the start, the story will now descend few scales into a more gloomy pitch. Total government including the country's expenses and the cost of schools in Yavapai will be higher this year than last This is due 10 in creascs in large part, of salaries of teachers, higher cost of materials and generally higher school costs. For instance, school district No. 1, com prising the city of Prescott, will pay this year $l.5S7 on each S10O, which added 10 the o3 cents makes $25I7. This Is assessed on a total of $5,S55,- 7l9.73, the highest assessed value per capita of any city in the state. Je- rome, which is separate from its school district, is assessed at around $3,0O0,OO0 but the school district is one of the richest in Arizona with d value of $S1, ,127O45.43.
 Due To School Costs
 High taxes this year, then, will be due only to increased school costs of the Prescott district will be $437. 7 32O, of which $l96,OOO is to be raised by special levy. School boards un- der the law are permitted 10 make their own budgets and ask for as much as they want, and no one has authority 10 trim the demand Hence the fact that practically. ali school demands this year were from two to three times as heavy as last cannot be challenged, even fl anyone would challenge them
 Counting the high school, manual arts and kindergarten, the Prescott district this year will cost over half q million, or $577,505.
 The special school faxes this year for the various districts arc as fol- lows:
 No, Prescott. $l.5S7; No. 9. Jcr- ome .1697; No. 6 Cottonwood, .636; No II Miller Valley, $l.569; No. 15 Skull Valley, .397; No. 16.

Alfred and
 Brady Eager
 for Meeting
Rival Ringmen Clash at Ath- letic Club Tonight.
 Other Bouts

After day of rest, both Alfred and dence and the dreams of victory must and are eagerly awaiting the tap of the gong tonight. Tired of the weeks of dull training and eager to settle for once and for all the superiority of the one or the other, both boxers are anxious to meet in the squared arena and prove or disprove the assertions of their follow CTS as to which is the best man.
 There is no nervous anxiety in either camp. Both boxers, as well as their managers, are possessed of supreme con- fidence which will not be shaken. It is hard to realize that one of the two must be beaten; that in one case the confi- dence and the dreams of victory must be shattered
 As the day of the big battle arrives, the two managers, Tommy Tompkins and Sailor Dixon, announce their charges to be in the very best of trim. There IS more at stake between Dewitt Alfred and Jack Brady than a mere victory. In addition to the desire of each to con- quer, to prove that he is the better, a more practical aim is turing each to make superhuman efforts, if need be, to swing the tide of victory his way. The coveted right to meet Ashton Donza, southern champion of the 125-pound class, will be earned by the winner of tonight's affray.
 SECTIONAL INTEREST
 There Is something of sectional inter- est in the battle between Alfred and Brady. The former is Bessemer boy, a native of that thriving little city, and it was there that he first took up the mitt game. Since his advent into the ring several years ago, Alfred has been faithfully keeping in trim, doing his training out at Bessemer under the care- tul supervision of Sailor Dixon, ring man himself. In Birmingham of course many good fighters have been developed since Alfred first took up boxing. These Magic City winners have been touted to the skies and as faithfully backed as the best that Birmingham can produce. Out at Bessemer they believe that the Magic City is not the only place which can turn out good boxers and they are send ing in Dewitt Alfred to prove their as- sertions. While not denying that Besse- mer has a splendid representative. B. A. c. officials believe that they have man who can go him one better in the person of one Jack Brady, who has

 Gents Out for Sewanee Eleven
By 0. w. UNDERWOOD

fSewanee, Tenn, September 26-(Spe- ciaD.-Not in a good many years has
 there been such quantity of material
 for the football team as there is on
 Hardee field every day now. What the
 quality of the material will prove to be,
 no one can tell at this time, But old
 observers say that "it looks good,' and
 it is the best I have ever seen, and the
 like. Certainly when forty-three can
 didates turn out before the term has ac-
 tually opened, it makes one sit up and
 take notice, to say, the least.
 And again, in size, that is height and weight. the material as a whole looks
 better than in years For some reason
 a good many six-footers have turned up on the mountain, and they have an idea that they are feotballers. Coach Abell has not yet arrived, but Coach Nichol. son is putting them through every day, and sore muscles is the rule now. Seven of the last years letter men are out daily. A large number of last years second string men have returned to col 1ege. And, as before stated, the fresh.
 men are here in quantity. No attempt, as yet, has been made to divide the candidates into teams, only preliminary work being indulged in This week. how. ever, will see tae rNal work begin. Coach Abell will be here, fresh from a I little sojourn at Colgate, where he will l have picked up some of the latest i wrinkles in coaching.
 l Tie only regular not yet in camp is 1 Fletcher SlSidmore, who is also the hef- 1 tiest forward in sight He will be here within the next few daya according
 to reports, and will fill the bill in one side of the line. Another hefty forward | is Prude, from Texas. He is SA yhtly 1 larger than Skidmore, but his' expA ence has been confined to prep school \ ork, 1 and how he will stack up in college ball
 remains to be seen. Prude has the weight 1 -215 pounds of t--and runs the tape at six feet one.
 i Another big fellow is Kendall, who
 halls from South Carolina. He gives his
 eight as 1S7, and is five feet ten inches ! in height. His experience was with the Sewanee Military Academy. He ought | to give some one run for a line posi- | tion.

Ensley High Team
 Rapidly Rounding Into Condition

The football warriors of Ensley High are rapidly rounding into condition un- der able tutelage wof Jack Hovater, former University of Alabama star. They are far in advance of the majori- ty of their local rivals in the way of condition, having been through al- most week of training under Coach Hovater, whtch includes three days of hard scrimmaging.
 The prospects of the Yellow Jacket eleven are bright, with four of last years letter men back in harness. All indications point to a better team this year than last, although Scholl, the cracker center of 1919, did not return this year.
 Ensley is especially strong in the line, with Peck, Candy and Fayette back from last years team. Several promising youngsters turned out in re- sponse to the call for candidates and are now showing up mighty well on the line.
 Williams. Mendenhan and Moebes three new candidates for line positions are showing up rather we'll in the daily practices There are one or two others who show promise and stand a good chance of developing into var sity material
 In the backfield, there is only one letter man bask Whitehead, halfback of last year, bids fair to tear up in prep circles this season. There IS some promising material to be found among the new men out for positions in the backfield Some of those who show promise are Scokle. Rosenfeld, Me Laren. and Hassleh.
 The Yellow Jackets haven't made up their schedule yet, but 1t is probable that the first game of the season will be played Saturday. possibly against Etowah county high.

he handles himself like an old hand at the football game. He is out for an end position. and it looks as if he might land one. Harold Council, the most likely looking one of the older men for the end position, will have to go some to keep Oakes on the side lines. Coun- Gil has not yet registered for this sea son, but he is reported to be on the way.
 One of the best-looking line prospects
 is Virgil Miller of Chattanooga. He is six feet tall and tips the beam at 166 pounds He was turned out by the Bay
 Tor School and was a hummer on that team. He looks better eees day and
 bids fair to be regular his first year in college.
 Altogether, the coaches are going to have job picking the first string men, The first regular game is not scheduled until October 9, with Georgetown Col i lege of Kentucky. It is probable that a prep team will be scheduled for Oc- tober 3 on the Mountain.

already been introduced as the opponent of Alfred.
 It must be admitted that Alfred is a wonderful little boxer. Dewitt is a lad of only IT years, and he has yet a long time in which to develop. 1t was about five years ago that Sailor Dixon first took charge of Alfred and since that time De- Witt has developed into an experienced ringman, although still in his teens. Brady, while little older than Alfred, is youngster himself. He also has had much experience in the ring. He joined forces with Tommy Tompkins' team of amateur boxers about six months ago, and since that time he has not lost a fight, although he has taken part in en- agreements with several fast and danger eus ringmen.
 SPEED AND ACCURACY
 It will be battle fit for the gods when these two get together. Speed is not the only asset which each possesses. Ac- curacy. almost perfect timing and a good hefty punch is at the command of the two boxers. It would be task almost inn possible to try to pick the winner of the scrap tonight, although few daring ones seem to think that Brady mas a slight edge on Alfred. All are conceding that it will be one whale of bout. though, before the winner is decided. Another interesting little match has uccH drIAnBeu as tHS SeHii-IiHhiS TOT to- nights entertainment. Danny Stevens, a B. A. c. boy. has been matched to meet Jimmie Woods, also Bessemer boy. This bout is attracting almost as much in- terest as the big affair." the same rivalry existing between the two youngsters as between Alfred and Brady. Woods will slightly outweigh Stevens. and Is the fav- orite to win the bout.
 Tom Newton has challeneged Frank ChegtatUp the nnnfIIar R ~ ltUhf- weight, to a four-round engagement. which will take place as one of the bouts on tonight's card. Several amateur bouts have also been arranged for the enter tainment. The first fracas tonight be- gins at S;15.
