TO CONTINUE TAX PROBING

When the Mazet committee resumes It's slttings
this morning the probing into the peculiar methods
IN vogue IN the Tax Department for the fixing OF
valuations will be continued Frank Moss is deeply
intent upon fully exploiting the absurd ana uh-
ust system that prevails In that Office out OF the
ten or a dozen deputy tax commissioners VINO nave
been subpnnaed only two have been examined al
any length But the pertinent admissions elclted
from these two witnesses have already served to
demonstrate the necessity OF some radical changes
being made in the method now followed IN deter
mining the value OF real property for taxation pur-
poses Mr. Moss has proved that the only OASIS
upon which these values are made is the personal
and arbitrary Judgment OF the deputies. Just what
that Judgment is worth may be gathered from the
fact that the only qualification one OF the VIII
nesses had for appraisng the values Of real estate
was that he was a Mayors marshal for some
wears while the other was. prior TO being ap-
pointed deputy a clerk in the Tax Department
In the district OF one OF these deputies was the
valuing Of such property as the Waldorf-Astoria'
and in the district OF the other were such pulld-
ings as the new University Club and the pala'iai
dwellings which abound in that part OF Fih-aXe. a AYE
Engeihard the deputy who has charge OF thls DIS as

The time has arrived when prepara-
tions should be made for another meet.
ing of the Otero County Farmers Insti-
tute. The Denver News in discussing
this question says that agriculture and
horticulture are now assuming such pro-
portions in this statate that every town
which is center for either one OF these
industries should have it's institute.
Meetings Of those most interested should
be held and a competent committee ap.
pointed to make the necessary arrange
ments. The dates should be fixed and
announced. A program should be ar
ranged and those from whom papers on
certain topics are desired notified, so that
they may have ample time to prepare
their articles. There are, in every local
community in the state, people OF expert
ence and ability who can furnish instruct.
i've papers on many topics connected
with the farm, garden, dairy or orchard.
No program would be complete without
the presence OF two or more of the pro-
fessors OF the State Agricultural college,
whose address are always valuable and
interesting on whatever phase Of farm
economy they may treat. An evening
lecture by some well.known man would
give variety to the program. AS thus
outlined Farmers institute can be con-
Quoted with little or no expense and
made an event which will contribute to
the instruction as we'll as the social pleas
ure of all who attend. There are few
points in Colorado where institutes have
become a regular winter event. There
should be more. There is no class OF
people who have more to gain by having
their ideas rubbed up against other peo-
pie than farmers. The suggestions
gained in listening to single paper by
one of the faculty Of the State Agricul-
tural college may save q whole orchard
from injury, or largely increase the re-
turns from next years crop. How many
OF our farmer readers will take an active
interest in an institute at Rocky Ford to
be held some time in February?

When you vote for representatives
in congress or the state legislature, you
may elect a man who agrees with you on
one point, only to find that he votes just
as you don't want him To- on some other
proposition. In other words, to get the
thing you want you will very likely have
to take several things You don't want,
says Hon H.W. Young, Independence, KS.
With direct legislation and vote on
each measure important enough for the
people to ask for it, no man can be mis-
represented. As a means to secure gov
ernment by the people the initiative and
referendum is incomparably superior to
anything yet devised. Representative
government must be a failure, SO long as
people who agree on one proposition dif-
fer ON others. With chance to vote for
measures instead Of men, the believer In
free silver will not have to vote also for
free trade. while he is protectionist, in
order to express himself on the first prop
osition. Nor will the tariff reformer ever
have to be counted for the gold standard
in order to make his ideas on taxation
effective, as he did in supporting Grover
Cleveland.

The fire insurance companies doing
business in Colorado need regulation by
the strong hand OF the law. The law
can not reduce the exhorbitant
premiums charged, but it can make the
companies pay their losses or quit busi.
ness in the state. These thoughts are
suggested by the refusal Of several COM
panies to pay their losses caused by the
destruction OF the Antlers hotel, Colora-
do Springs. During all the years the
Antlers has been paying an excessive in
surance premium no question of valua-
tion was raised, but now that loss has
occurred the companies refuse to pay the

of the nation are passing resolutions to
decorate the graves OF Confederate SOL
diers, according to the suggestion OF
President Mckinley.-Er.
The Rocky Ford comrades begun the
decoration of Confederate soldiers graves
each Memorial Day several years before
President McKinley's suggestion was
made. Qn this connection, by way of
parenthesis, We desire to remark that
President McKinley's southern speeches
do not justify the hint of a movement to
pension Confederate soldiers. Better let
the conciliatory sentiment stop at the

We regret to make the statement,
but the fact is that the cantaloupe indus
try has just now an outlook that is far
from satisfactory. The profits Of the
business are threatened by only one dan
ger-the failure OF the various associa-
tions to work together. Harmonious
working together OF the various associa-
tions is vital to the interests OF growers.
Unless this can be secured in some way
cantaloupe culture will have no attrac-
tions this year.
