DEBATE AWARD PART
 OF TRIPLE VICTORY
lFrom Eridav,s Dailvl

Prescott showed that her High school students can win by brain as well as by Drawn" when Dor othy Stuart and Dorothy Hill won he intcrscholastic debate with Flag taff last evening. Their opponents were Mildred Dcmmick and Eliza beth Harrington, from the Flagstaff High school. The judges were Mir. Campbell from Humboldt, Mir. Hull from Jerome and Mir. George from Jerome Junction.
 The question, Resolved. That the Closed Shop Principle Should Be Universally adopted in American In dustry," was a live one, and it cer- tainly called forth a lively debate. especially from Prescott. who had the negative side The main points of the affirmative side were that the union is indispensable to the work ing man. and that the closed shop is indispensable to the union. But neither of these points were really proved; in fact, Flagstaff did not seem to have a very firm foundation to any of her arguments. The mega tive sides four big points were, that the closed shop is un-American; that unions get in unwise control; that they force employers to hire men whom they may not consider com petent; that the union decreases and lowers that standard of production. Prescott successfully proved all these statements and the pep with which each oi the "Dorothys' de livcrcrcd her argument made them even more COuviuCiu".

 The mayor was in good spirits and the council also. There was only one case of division on a vote and that was when Smith voted against pairing Kline's salary. Mir.

 It is the duty of the governor "to make proclamation recommending that the Arbor Day established be observed i'll the planting of trees, shrubs and vines, in the promotion of forest and orchard growth and culture, in the adornment of public and private grounds, places and ways and ill such other efforts and undertakings as shall be in harmony with the character of the. day as es- tablished"
 There is special admonition in the statutes that the children of public schools shall assist, to the end that school grounds shall be adorned with trees, this to be an object les son in the benefits, of the preserva- ton and perpetuation of the forests. It IS made the duty of the school authorities to cause the children to assemble and to hold exercises to include the planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubs.

 The contest last night was staged before a large crowd of spectators who displayed vast amount of en- thusiam throughout the battle, which looked at the end of the first half as if Prescott's chance of winning had been neatly slaughtered by the Flagstaff lads, and buried under an avalanche of points. The score at tEc end of the first half stood 17 to 9 in Flagstaff's favor The northern iads were excellent players, and put up stiff and fairly-contested game, but i'll the second half, Prescott step ped back into the ring and piled up the goals that carried the Badgers into their narrow lead.
 During the first half, Bradley staged d spectacular pinch-shot when he ringed the. ball almost from cen Ger, aud this stunt was duplicated in the second by Poe. Southworth captured a good number of free losses. Poe, Heap and Eschcr each played a part of the game. Of the Flagstaff quintet, Hackethorne was easily the prize goal-shootcr, but Classy, Saunders and Jones were there with their knowledge of thc art of dribbling and Ettcr played an excellent guard position Undoubted- ly one of the most satisfactory games oi the season.

GOLDWATER IN
 FAVOR IF THE
 PAVED STREET
lFrom Friday's Dailyl

(From Fridays Daily)
 There Is a little ambiguity in the charter of the city of Prescott rela- tive to who shall submit an annual message-the outgoing or the incom- ing mayor. Such an annual message is specified however.
 In the case of Morris Goldwater, the difficulty was easily solved last night when he presented the com mon council a summary of the work of the past two years and a few recommendations for the coming year. You. see, Morris Goldwater was both the outgoing and the in coming mayor,
 Outstanding in his report is the suggestion that the Yavapai county legislators be besought to secure a change in the city charter ill order that the tax rate of $1, now fixed at that maximum by law, may be in- creased. It will be necessary, the mayor warned, and anyway $l is the lowest tax rate of any city of the size of Prescott in Arizona, and pos sibly in a darn sight more territory than that.
 Prescott owes on bond and inter est account. $43S.S59.O4 and with the passage of laws widening tax ex- emptions and with other little diff culties in the way, the prospect is now that unless something is done, the four cents will be all that can be paid without pain and strain.
 After citing a number of facts and figures that will be discussed later, the mayor says: "It is plainly evi- dent from these figures that we must either raise our assessment roll or increase our rate of taxation. The assessment roll for 1920 was $63S6, 352. less exemptions. There is now pending in the legislature an eX- emption bill which if passed, will de crease our income. After due con sideration, I think our tax rate, which is now one dollar, probably the lowest for any city our size, should be raised and I recommend that the Yavapai members of our legislature be requested to have our charter amended so as to permit of this being done.'
 The report then shows that the tax roll of 1919 was $5,S9S,096, re- duced by S34,35O widows exemptions to $5,S63,746 and that in 1920 there was $41,45O for widows exemptions making net tax toll of $6344,902
 Favors Paving
 The mayor has come out flatfood c.ly, cold-bloodcdly and earnestly in praise of paving. In a part of his report touching upon improvements made and planned he speaks of the Mt. Vernon street paving as mot only a great improvement t6 that part of the city" but a thing that has tended to make our citizens look with favor on the plans for i'm proving as rapidly as possible, the other parts of the city" Reference is made to the contemplated immcd- fate paving of South Pleasant street and the downtown district.

Will do to lock into.
 Anyway
 Along with the Robinson raise of pay, there was one for Frank H. Williams, who was last night made the city assessor and tax collector. He too, had his salary pushed up $50 d month.
 But there was a compensation. Poor Old Art Kline, the city cngi- lecr. who had been plunging his lands into the public treasury 10 he extent of d whole $500 a month, vas chopped down $50, so that he low gets only as much as the coun y engineer is paid.
 Kline was prepared for the blow, however, and nobody was injured.
