perty valuations. The result has
been that the state finds itself
seriously crippled for funds to
meet ordinary expenses, the levy
for state purposes being limited to
four mills, Colorado finds itself
confronted with a deficiency of
5000, 600, the estimated amount Of
revenue that will be realized being
that amount short of what will be
required.
II the state board Of equalization
and the county assessors would
agree to assess all property on a
full cash value basis, it would be
the most satisfactory method that
could be devised. No one can
complain OF injustice when all
property is assessed alike. A GER
tain amount OF money must be
raised by taxation. If the valu-
atoms are high the tax rate will be
low. Under the present system
Of making low valuations, the rate
is necessarily high-over 7 per
cent in Otero county. With low
valuation and high rate OF tax
alton a change OF a very few dol
lars in the assessed valuation
makes great difference IN the to-
tai amount OF taxes paid by each
individual. With high valuations
and low rate OF taxation the re-
suit would be just the reverse.
The county assessors OF the state
held a convention in Denver this
week with view OF inaugurating
some scheme to solve the problem.
The assessors persistently refused
to raise their valuations unless the
state board OF equalization would
agree to raise the valuations OF rail-
roads. Unless the state board
will agree to an increase in the
valuation OF railroads it is doubt
full whether anything will be ac-
complished. The only solution
Of the problem is to live up to the
law and assess railroad and all
other property on full cash value
basis. When law operates with
equal exactness towards the rich
and the poor, the high and the
low, it is about as near just as any
human law can be.

There was a heavy rain at Palm
er Lake, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo last Tuesday night, also at
Garden City and as far west as
Lamar. AT La Junta, however,
there wasn't even the faintest per-
,ceptable sprinkle, although the
shadows that hovered DER the
starry spheres in every direction
that night had every appearance
Of humidity and looked quite prom
ising. In Colorado Springs the
scarcity Of water became such a
serious question that q special
meeting Of the city council was
called to devise ways and means to
end the drought. We do not
tnow what means were employed,
but they seem to have been effec-
tive, for it rained the next day.

council rib up some scheme to

La Junta tribune., 1899-06-10


The city council at its last meet
ing denied the petition OF the bus
mess men on Santa Fe avenue for
the removal of the arc light on
Granada street to the intersection
of the alley half block north.
The prayer of the petitioners for
more light was partly complied
with by ordering thirty-two can
die power incandescent light
placed at the mouth Of the alley.
This will be some improvement,
but not much. The day and night
marshal both testify to the great
service that would be rendered
them by having the alleys well
lighted. The lights would aid
materially in detecting the mid
night providers about back doors
and rear entrances, and in case of
FIRE in any Of the numerous shacks
which abound in that particular
locality, an arc light would render
effective service. The most de-
sirable location for an arc light
would be in the center Of the block
and the alley. The rear entrance
OF every building in the block
woald then be we'll lighted. 1t
would be a good idea to remove
at least two OF the arc lights now
IN use in the suburbs and bring
them down town where they
would be Of some service. We
understand they were placed there
in order to make an impression on
the California travellers passing
thaough ON the railroad rs to the
metropolitan size and character of
this burg. 1t is q rather expensive

WHERE FIGURES LIE.

In a speech before the Trans
Mississippi Congress last week,
T. c. Henry, of Denver, made the
declaration that from the first year
OF Colorado's statehood up to
1893, property valuations advanced
yearly almost unvaryingly 80 per
cent, but since that time they have
steadily declined about rs per cent
per annum. He arrives at this
conclusion from figures obtained
from the state auditor and says we
are confronted with the almost
appalling fact that not only are we
not growing, not only is our gen.
eral progress checked, but we are
actually retrograding deteriorat-
ing as if we were part OF some de-
caying section of the old world.
Mr.. Henry arrives at his con-
clusion from figures, but Mr..
Henry and everybody else knows
that figures sometimes lie, and
this is one OF the instances. Mr..
Henry knows and SO does every
body else who is conversant with
the conditions, that Colorado is
not retrograding, and it is GER
tainly in very bad taste on his part
to circulate such slanderous libels.
The assessed valuation of Colorado
in 1890, excluding railroad prop
erty, was $3.50, 35S, 26S, and in
1898 it was $I5S, 342,95I, a de-
crease of S3a, s,2I7. These fig
ures apparently substantiate Mr..
Henry's assertion that Colorado is
retrograding, but the actual con-
ditions do not. No one who has
lived in Colorado for even six
months will believe that the prop
erty valuation in this state is less
now than it was eight years ago.
The fault lies with the failure Of
the assess ors of this state to live
up to the law, which explicitly
states that all property must be
assessed At its full cash value.
No one doubts that s1s7, 900, 900
represents but very small part Of,
the actual wealth of this state, but
those were the figures for last year.
The state board Of equalization
assesses all railroad property in
the state. and il the figures

o,ss county assessors do not suit

WE always did think cX-Spcallcr

people would make believe. We
will think more of him than ever if
he finally comes over to the Demo
cratic party. Hear the following
news item sent out from Washing
ton EX-Spcaker Reed is having
considerable business in Washing
ton these days, and he is extremely
cordial TO former acquaintance.
He avoids intcrvicwcrs, but in the
privacy of the clubs and his apart
ments at the hotel he lets himself
out. From the occasional quota
tons that find their way into circu-
latiOn it is painfully evident that he
is very much soured individual
and is highly displeascd with the
Washington administration. Not
only does he seem to have gone near
yovcr to the enemy and the colonial
proposition, but to the question Of
the tariff as we'll. For twenty years
he was in entire accord with the Re-
publican party on this question,
oftentimes taking the lead in lcgis-
latiou along protection lines. He
has apparently undergone Il change
of heart on that issue and his re-
marks as quoted reflect II general
leaning toward free trade. He is
clearly out of tune with the Rcpub-
lican party,a fact which probably
had much to do with his withdrawal
from congress.
