No Hope TO, a...nu. Legislation.

Fl. w Adsmond returned last
week from Denver, where he at
tended tbs session OF the State As.
SCISSORS Convention. He says the
assessors OF the state were all oi
one mind as to the necessity oi
radical changes in the method OF
assessing property, but insisted
that if they We're compelled to live
up to the law and assess property
at its full casi, value they should
be permitted to assess railroads
and all other property on the same
basis They held several confer
ences with committees from the
but these wise men
seemed inclined to favor an excep-
tion with regard to railroad prop
erty, for reasons best known to
themselves, and thought the matter
could be remedied by limiting the
county levy.
Assessor Ames, OF Arapahoe
county, after great deal of re-
search and investigation, has de-
itermined that railroad property in
Colorado is assessed at about one
tenth Of its cash value, while
other property is assessed at one
third. Allow the assessors to as
sess all property alike and they
will cheerfully comply with the
law, but as long as the state board
of equalization persists in lowering
the valuSlion Of railroads the county
assessor deems himself justified in
retaliating by lowering all county
valuations.
Mr.. Adsmond is not very hope

HOW THEY DO IT,
The Rules That cover the Opera.
tionA of the Trust Builder.

The Rules That Govern the opera
tions of the Trust Builder.
1t is said of the president of the
Standard Oil trust, and he has many
imitators, that he never issues a posi-
tive order, says Ainslee's Magazine. He
merely "suggests." The burden Of
making a suggestion operative is left to
the official 60 whom it is made, and al
though suggestions are usually acted
upon as promptly as the commands Of
the sultan when he uses a regiment Of
Janlssaries to carry his message, they
are approved of only when they are
successful. If by any chance a sugges-
ton should prove a failure when ap-
Piled, the unfortunate who acted upon
it must bear the blame for not having
had better judgment, and the result
is lnvariable. The trust builder, like
Tallyrand, "does not like to have un-
successful men about him" On the
other hand, if a suggestion is rejected
and the result shows that the judg-
ment of the official was good, the great
man conveniently forgets that he was
ever guilty of making such a sug-
gestlon. Success excuses everything,
and in constantly thriving for it the
darkest tragedies Of trust building are
brought about. Every year men go mad
trying to keep pace with the terrific ad-
vances of the trust builders, just as
the generals of Napoleon succumbed in
attempting to work out the world
grasplng designs of the Unsuitable and
tlreless commander. The great trust
builders deserve to be credited with
private asylums just as the western des-
peradoes are credited with private
graveyards.
The beauty of the trust system of or
ganization is that, while ~exacting
obedience, it leaves room for individual
Judgment, and in this way secures in
telllgent cooperation. And when the
trust builders find a man who is car
BILE of serving them intelligently they
are not niggardly in their rewards. Pro
motions come quickly when deserved,
and a man gets a chance to do all the
work he has the capacity for as long as
he can show successful results. 1t is
this system that has enabled the Stand
ard Oil company to conquer commer
elally a territory vaster than that
which was ground under the heel of
Napoleon Oh Of Caesar. Truly, the
Standard Oil is the father of the trusts,
and though others have achieved much,
they bear the same relations to it that
the children of a great man do to their
father; they may be successful, but
they are OVershadOWed.

The Best Thing Out.

The Dain Junior Hay Stackers
and Power Lift Push Rakes are the
greatest labor-saving haying tools
ever invented. They will take the
hay direct from the mower and
build it in a rick to any height de,
sired. These stackers are the only
ones that deliver the hay into the
middle Of the stack from bottom to
top. They are very simple in con.
s]truction and are a third lighter in
draft than any other stacker made.
The Dain Sweep Rake is the only
rake ever made that will positively
carry the teeth entirely off the
ground when heavily loaded, while
they work SO easily that any boy
who can drive a horse can handle
them with ease. They are the best.
Don't be persuaded into buying any

We are not cursed by great corpora
lions IN the way you seem to be. Our
railways are all owned by the state, and
all employees are state officials. The
hours are fixed by regulations, and SO
are the pay, ETC., which are under the
control of the responsible ministry,
which is dependent for existence upon
the continual possession OF a majority
in the lower house of parliament; hence
things are kept pretty straight, and the
men do not work the excessive number
of hours they do in the States, and the
railways cannot give unjust prefer
ences. Our teleg,sphs and telephones
are also state possessions and service.
