TIE ONLY ISSUE.

The Senatorial fight has narrow
ed down to Wolcott and anti-W
colt. w. o. Station Is the VOL
colt gold republican candidate and
c. w. Roe is the silver candidate.
The man Farrell of Hlnsdale who.
by means best known to himself,
secured the democratic nomina-
ton is lending himself to the VOL
colt people TO help divide the sill
yer forces III order to elec. IL Nc.
klnley republican in this district.
Mr.. Farrell refuses to listen to the
earnest request of the leaders of
his party and insists on making
what he knows 10 he n losing cam
p.ign. Why lie takes this course
may never be known to the outside
world. Farrell assumes to have
the vots of Hinsdale county in his
pocket; il so, he is dangerous
man to have in any community.
Ihere ii no man i'll any other
county IN the state who holds his
county by such spell rs to be led
blindly into the camp of the enemy
without protest, and We cannot
believe the loyal silver men and
women of Hinsdale county will
follow this man against their own
interests.

IHIs is not going to be cam
paign of education," but rather II
campaign Of Doodle. Already the
corrupting influence, which was
used to elect VIM. Mckinley, is
showing up all over the state.
lake this senatorial district, for
instance. Here the silver forces
have nominated n man of more
than ordinary ability, and of un-
swerving integrity. 1t was case
of the office seeking the man. C.
w. Roe is known to be n man who
will never use money to buy IN
election. II elected at all it will
be by honorable methods. The
boodlers know this and hasten to
accept the corruption fund on top
by Wolcott's henchmeu.
Watch the actions of the two
little papers at Creede, which are
always in the market. They are
utterly devoid of political or moral
principles. They are like flea
for blood, here, there and every
where-a laughing stock in their
own community.
Democrats of influence in every
county in this district, except in
Rio Grande county, unmindful Of
the fact that the populists have
given them the head of the
state ticket, are doing all in their
power TO serve Ed Wolcott by
helping to elect Mckinley repub-
lican for "hold.over" senator.
Such campaign is enough to
disgust honest men and respecta.
BILE women. The common people
should unite MS one man aud vote
down the boodlers; vote for good
aud true men and demonstrate that
they nre better than their leaders.

Why Taxes are High.

In 1895 the state legislature for
the first time enacted a revenue
law to carry out the provisions of
the state constitution which re-
quire the business of the county
governments to be conducted on d
cash basis. This meant a very ma
terial addition to the tax levy, and
in fact, the levy of that year was
fixed at 1915, with no provision
made for the redemption of out
standing warrants. To take care
of the county debt the proposition
was submitted to the people to re-
fund these warrants by an issue of
bonds. The bond election was
held and carried by a great major
ity. The bid for bonds was duly
advertised and in due time repre-
| sentatives of various bidders put
in an appearance and all wanted
GOLD BONDS-principal and in
terest, PAYABLE IN GOLD.
The commissioners at that time
were all three republicans, to-wit:
Walter S. Clark, Harry w. Cone
and w. w. Blackburn. They
told the gentlemen who wanted
gold bonds that they would not is
sue bonds Of that character, and
that if Uncle Sans legal tender
was not good enough there would
be no bids accepted. No bids were
accepted and no bonds were issued
and tax payers generally approved
the action of the board. Had these
bonds been issued it would have
saddled the county with practically
a perpetual debt, and the levy of
fixed tax each year to provide fol
the payment of interest. But a.
the bond issue was not made tn,
commissioners in the next year fel
back uyon the other alternative O
the law and the constitution o
levying a tax of ten mills on eacl
800 of taxable property in tn
county for the redemption of out
standing warrants; and this re
demption fund of ten mills haI
been levied each year since, ant
must continue to be levied unit
the county debt is totally extin
-. guished.
AS a matter Of fact, leaving on

. poses, taxes are lower in 1898, b,
