THE "Net Output Bill' has not yet re-
ceived the signature Of the Governor, and
just how he can veto it after having made the
subject one Of his strongest recommendation
in his inaugural message, is not very appsr.
ent. A strong effort is being made by those
interested to have him veto 1t, but as yet he
has given no intimation as to what disposition
he will make of It. The bill is righteous
measure, and one that should become law.
Every industry ought to bear its just proper.
ton Of taxation. The most of the paying
mines of Colorado are held by non-residents,
and the net output goes out Of the State.
They expect the same protection from the law
for their property that other industries en-
joy, and certainly should pay their share Of
the expenses. By the provisions of the bill
q non-psying mine will not be taxed, but only
those whose receipts exceed the expenditures,
and then only the net receipts. A man who
has his capital invested in merchandise, or
who has few head Of cattle, or who is the
fortunate owner Of few articles Of personal
property, Is assessed every time, and the tax
collector does not stop to ask unnecessary
questions as TO the profits Of the business, but
assesses at the full value. We hope the
Governor will place his signature to the bill.

THE Mining and Industrial Exposition will
open its second exhibition in Denver in July,
and promises to be in every way an improve
ment on the one held last year. Another an.
mex Is to be built for the use of machinery,
while the main hall will be used almost ex-
clusively for the display Of mineral and the
products Of the farm. Delta county should
be represented by good active commissioner,
and her various industries brought promi-
nently forward. No better advertisement
can be had than fair showing Of our re-
sources at this exhibition. A suitable person
should be selected by the County Commits
sioners, at as early date A. possible to rep
resent Delta county, so I'll She will be enabled
to fairly represent Us, and to do this properly
considerable time and attention will neces-
sarily have to be given to 1t.

Indueements(,) Oasred to settlers.
rd the Editor NJ Tsr CxEyvr.

Inducements(9) offered to Settlers.
To the Editor Of THE CHIEF:
The people in this section of the country
came here to settle, to make homes and an
honest living. They have to work hard to
earn any money, in the same way that any
man must do in whatever country he may
be. They understand fully the expense nec-
essarily attending the building of railroads
or wagon roads, and 30 far as any one may
judge, they are willing to go by the old mot
to of Give and let live" but there they must
either stop or starve. The Denver 4 Rio
Grande railroad in its fowery advertisements
hold out all sorts of inducements to the farm
er, ranchman, miner, etc., but not one word
is said of the expense man is put to either
to get here, or bring or have merchandise
forwarded to him. For long time when
customers demurred at prices asked by mer-
chants in this town for the necessaries of life,
they were met with the clinching argument
that they had to pay five cents per pound for
freight. That was in the days of wagoning,
when hay cost ten cents per pound. Now
that is past and we have the long-looked for
railroad, but that is comparatively no better.
have before me now freight bill Of the
railroad for $50 pounds of -four, meal and
molasses, forwarded to this point, and the
amount calls for $3.50, 600 poundsat $40,
and $50 pounds at $2.2p. If Nat is not
downright e1tortion theY pleas1some one tell
US the limit of fair chfrg9F The party to
whom these goods were Sadpped is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of about 5000 pounds
more merchandise; by the time that arrives,
he expects by mortgaging his ranch and stock
to pay the freight charges. came to this
country to look for . place to settle and in
vest money. There are some Of the comforts
of life that man has right to, that are not
to be had in Delta, and it was my intention &c
have such things forwarded 70 me from the
east, but If the railroad makes such exhor.
bitant charges, I say 1t is money thrown away
to bring anything out here. The cry all over
the land is down with monopoly" in meas
ure the greater part Of those who are making
the most noise have nothing either to gain or
lose, in the same way that the men in the
South who made the greatest outcry about the
yankees taking our niggers," never owned
one; but every fair.minded man and every
settler in this country should cry down such
extortion. A WoULD-BE SETTLER.

THERE is q first-class opening in Delta for
Touring mill. The country surrounding it
is one Of the best wheat-growing sections of
Colorado, and the situation is such that al
most the entire valleys of the Gunnison and
the Uncompahsre will be tributary to it. An
investigation of the subject will satisfy any
fair-minded man that the facts are aa we rep
resent them. If an enterprise of this char
acter was reasonably certain to be put through
enough wheat would be planted this season
to give the mill all the business it could at
tend to. All the facilities for such an under
tsking are near at hand, with water-power in
abundance. The grain can and will be raised
to supply it. 1t is hoped that some enter
prising miller miller will take hold of this
matter and put it through this season.

THE memorial tablet for President Gar
field, for erection at Toltec gorge, by the Ma
tional Association Of General Passenger and
Ticket agents, in commemoration of their
trip to Colorado in September, 1881, is about
to be placed. Three large stones, weighing
in the aggregate twenty tons, have been
transported to Toltec by the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, in which to pla,e the tablet.
The design for its erection is Iy James R.
Chapman, superintendent of bridges and
building, and is massive one, and will pre-
sent an imposing appearance.
