IMPORTANT COLORADO NEWS.
RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS.
hrapahoo County objects to the Actor
of the state Hoard,

Arapahoo County Objects to the Action
of the State board.
The Arspahoe county officials are going to
secure a change In the method of assessing
railroad property If possible. They have In
stitu,ed proceedings In the District Cou # ~
test She legality of the present method.
This arises out of the fact that the State
only allows taxes to counties for main track
within their confines but apportions out toe
other taxable property. The difference to
the ArapahOe county assessment isAlmost
100000. The present method OF appor-
tlonlpg these taxes Is the same as has always
been practiced in the State. The county at
torney says that notwithsta ndlng this the
custom is contrary TO law, and that a county
I. entitled to taxes from all the taxable prop
erty it contains, excepting the rolling stock.
Tsis tax suit Is to be hard pushed by the
county authorities. They cannot see the
justice of Arapanoe county getting but a
molty OF railroad taxes for all the vast wealth
contained within lts borders, while Douglas
county for instance receives much more

In the District court OF Boulder Judge

ion. The question came up on the validity
OF a tax deed, based upon sale OF property
advertised for taxes In 1880. The judge held
- 49, i=ssi .sa. 49, = -
OF the paper in which the tax sale was adver-
tised did not attach the proper certificate of
publication. The law perseribes n regular
affidavit which publisher is TO attach TO a
copy OF the tax -ale. In this case the affidavit
used In swearing to the publication Of sher-
ms sale was used. and this was held not TO
be In compliance with the las. The decision
renders about 81, 900 worth of tax deeds is
sued under the sale that year invalid.

THE decision of Judge Caldwell
touching the rights of employees of the
Union Pacific railroad is justly regard
ed as wide-reaching in its effects, if
sustained by the higher courts. There
would be, says the judge, mo equity
in reducing the wages of the men be.
low what is reasonable and just. TIL,
necessity of economy in administering
a receivership is recognized, but the
employees must be paid fair wages
though no dividends are paid on the
stock and no interest on the bonds. 3"
Judge Caldwell also fully recognizes
the right of the employees to organize
for mutual defense. On this point he
says: ut is lawful for the stockhold-
ers and officers Of corporation to as
sociate and confer together for the
purpose Of reducing the wages of its
employees or the devising of some other
means to make the investments profit
able. 1t is equally lawful for organ
lied labor to associate, consult and
confer with a view to maintain or in
crease wages. Both act from the
prompting of enlightened seltishness
and the action of both is lawful when
no illegal or criminal means are uset
or threatened"
