WOULDN'T PAY HIS TAXES.
A Colorado Man Who Spent $50, 1000
in Defense of a Principle.

A case without a parallel in the an
nails of Jurisprudence was brought to
a close last week at Hahn's Peak, the
county seat of Routt county. when

western Colorado, paid $4,000 to the
commissioners and dismissed proceed
InES that have been in every court in

story as interesting as it is unique.
Fifty thousand dollars for a priuci-
pie. Double that amount for ex-
penses of the opposing litigants, and
you have not even then summed up
what has been spent, because Ora
Haley refused to pay a few hundred
dollars in taxes which he thought ex-
orbitant.
The litigation has been from the
rural justice court through every
channel up to the supreme court of the
United States. There have been a
dozen injunction suits carried to the
higher courts. actions and amended
actions for the recovery of taxes taken
through all the federal courts UP to
Washington. damage suits against
nearly all the men connected with
Routt county government during the
sixteen years and replevin suits galore.

court in Denver to strike the case from

DfnsIeyism and Porto Rico.

It is reported that in Congress there is
some Democratic objection to the bill
introduced in the House of Representa-
tives by Mr.. Payne Of New York, which
provides for the extension OF the customs
and internal revenue laws of the country
over a part of ii which is yet treated as
foreign territory-namely. Porto Rico.
The fault which Democrats find with the
bill is that constructively it recognizes
the authority of this Government TO deny
to Porto Rico and other new American
possessions the inherent right OF free
trade with all other parts OF the United
States This right accrued az the moment
the territory contemplated passed under
the flag and sovereignty of this country,
with the completion of the necessary con-
stitutional acts. The course of the Ad-
ministration in denying free trade to our
insular territories, and to Porto Rico par
ticularly, has been oppressive and uncon-
stitutional. 1t would now undo the wrong
in the instance of Porto Rico by according
to that island by legislative enactment a
right which it possesses fully, but is not
permitted to exercise, under the Consti-
tuition.
Nevertheless. We hope that Democrats
will not obstruct this or any measure
whose purpose it is to do tardy justice to
an unfortunate community which hailed an
nexation to the Union with loyal joy only
to find that it meant a change from the
Spanish frying pan to the Dingley fire. II
We expect the Republican party to reach
an object by constitutional means when
any other are available, We shall always be
open to disappointment Hence. the best
thing TO do is to let the majority go
through the motions Of giving Porto Rico
by formal legislation and as an act OF
grace. what belongs to it already Of right
and by basic law
