The showers yesterday after
noon which were later followed by
4 steady downpour of nucn need

OF storm that covered large
area OF the surrounding country.
Reports brought in by train crews
are TO the effect that the country
60 the north and south OF this
point received good soaking.
1t was feared yesterday that the
storm would sweep around this
Immediate section. but towards
night the heavy clouds banking at
every point of the compass gave
promise of more rain than the few
drops that had paltered down dur
ing the a.ter6aofss-sf.a storm
which followed last night hss
brought temporary relief to quite
an area OF corn land, and prophe-
'cies are now being made that half
a crop at least will result.
Reports from Pryor Creek are to
the effect that the rain fell contin-
uously in that section throughout
the afternoon and night, giving
The adjacent corn lands a good
soaking. A heavy downpour re-
Iieved conditions in the neighbor-
hood of Welcb. and freshened up
the shriveled corn. Adair reports

The showers in this section are
thought to have been part OF the
ftorm that swept southwark as far

wake thousands of acres Of fresh
ened fields. Several strips in the
area Of the storm were passed over
by the promising clouds without a
crop OF rain descending, while
3eigbboring sections Of the parched
ands, received torrents Of the
much needed water. Many OF the
smaller creeks that had gone dry
n the pasture lands, were filled
ay the rain, relieving the suffer
ing Amongst the stock. The value
ot the rain in saved crops is esti-
mated at thousands Of dollars, but
many sections need another good

TEXT OF THE AUSTRALASIAN
LAND TAX AMENDMENT 7

Denver, Oct o1.--Among the pro-
posed constitutional amendments that
will come before the people of Colorado
for ratification or rejection In NOvem-
Der, 1902, and which should neither be
adopted nor voted down without intel
ligent consideration, is the Australia
sian land tax amendment.
The Twelfth General Assembly ap-
pointed n revenue commission to inves-
tigate the revenue laws of Australia
sia; the chairman OF that commission
was Senator James w. Bucklin of
Grand Junction; he paid his own ex-
penses and spent three months on his
tour and gathered all the data and Of
fetal information obtainable and then
gave n report of what lie found; that
report may be had by addressing the
Australnsian Tax League, L. o. Box
10l1, Denver, Colorado.
AS a result of this report and at the
suggestion of the commission con-
stitutional amendment was passed by
the Thirteenth General Assembly and
is now before the people for considera-
tion. The proposed amendment reads
as follows:
"Sec. 9.-Once in four years, but not
oftener, the voters of any county in the
state may, by vote at any general
election, exempt or refuse to exempt
from all taxation for county, city, town
school, road and other local purposes,
any or all personal property and i'm
provements ON land; but neither the
whole nor any part of the full cash
value OF any rights of way, franchises
In public ways. or laMd, exclusive of
the improvements thereon, shall be so
exempted; Provided. however, that
such question be submitted to the vot-
ers by virtue of petition therefor,
signed and sworn to by not less than
one hundred resident taxpayers of such
county, and filed with the county clerk
and recorder. not less than thirty nor
more than ninety days before the day
of election"
Sec. IL. The rate of taxation on
property for state purposes shall never
exceed four mills ON each dollar of
valuation; but the provisions of this
section shall not apply to rights Of way,
franchises in public ways, or land, the
full cash value OF which may be taxed
mt such additional rate. not exceeding
two mills on each dollar of assessed
valuation. as shall be provided by law,
after exempting all personal property
and improvements thereon from such
additional rate of taxation"
The idea underlying this system of
taxation, according to its advocates,
may be illustrated by the following ex-
ample, given by ]. X. Herman in
Georges Weekly. In the southwest
part of the state the government is sur
veying for proposed tunnel that will
tap the Gunnison river and water n

ONLY TWO NIGHTS OUT
NEW YORK TO DENVER

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The New York
Central and Lake Shore railroads are
preparing TO take advantage OF the
vast improvements which have been
made In the physical condition OF the
Chicago x Northwestern and the
Union Pacific. November 3rd these two
roads will place In service n new ocean

ited train clear across the continent.
II II stated that the new flyer will

tnnce practically In iwenty.four hours.
The time given Is that OF the present

change II effected the fast mail will

that Is now worthless. To build this
canal all the people of the state will be
taxed hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars and the general government will
also be called upon to assist. The en-
terprlse seems laudable enough, In
view of the fact that thousands Of poor
people are now seeking homes, but the
extremely poor man cannot expect to
be benefited from that source, for Mt
present the land will not return any
thing for labor expended on 1t and no
poor man can waste part OF five years
in order to homestead; SO, much of 1t
will be entered by poor men hired by
rich men, and as no one but the conf
missioners will know just which way
the cana! will be led they will have the
inside track to the best Of 1t, and the
railroad companies will secure the
most valuable land by getting the
tOwnsites, and the poor man, as usual,
will be the man to fot the bill--to
build the canal and the rich man will
reap the harvest.
1t must be 80 plain that "he who
runs may read" that under our general
property tax, In this case we are build
ing n gigantic special privilege, and
what may be said of this illustration
may properly be said of all public i'm
provenents, such us school houses and
courts of justice, and police protection,
but the idea underlying the Australia
sian system, which Is now satisfactor
lily in operatiQpSp. several countries of
Australasia Is this: 1t must be plain
that In case of the canal cited above
that 1t IL the government, pure and
simple, that will make this desert sud
denly become worth 800 per acre.
Now II the government made the value
Of that land. why should not the users
Of that land pay the government for
the value the government conferred
upon II, or In other words. If the canal
made the value OF the land why
should not those who wish to use the
land pay for the canal? Under our
general property tax this cannot be
done, but with the above amendment
ratified any county or town may or
may not apply the Australasian system
under which, If n rich corporation de-
sires to monopolize the land 1t would
be no injustice 10 the community; any
monopoly may own all the land 1t
chooses provided 1t pays taxes in pro-
portion to the benefits conferred by
government. but II is needless to say
there would be no object In monopollz-
ing land under this system. and II n
poor man wishes TO use the land 1t
would fall equally just with him for
he would simply be paying for value
received. the same as a water rent, and
all that he produced over and above
what value the government made for
him would be his-not even his crops
OF improvements or his labor In any
way would be taxed.

ROUNDS EIFFEL TOWER
In A BALLOON

| Paris, Oct. CON-. Santos Dumont
yesterday sailed around the Eiffel tow
er in his airshlp from the Pare
d'Aerostation, near st. Cloud, dis
tance of eleven kilometers (seven
miles,, In % minutes 30 seconds, an
average rate of 14A miles per hour.
The airship sailed with the wind to
the tower, distance of three and one
half miles, in nine minutes and eight
seconds, equivalent to rate of twen-
ty-three miles per hour.
Returning against the wind, which
was blowing about thirteen and one
half miles per hour, took twenty min
utes thirty seconds, equivalent to n
rate of ten and one-half miles per
hour.
But instead of descending immedi-
ately Santos -Dumont made broad
sweep over the Aero Club grounds,
with the result that another minute
and twenty-five seconds were con-
sumed before the workmen seized the
guide rope. Thus technically Santos
Dumont exceeded the time limit by
forty seconds.
gathered inside and outside the
grounds gave the aeronaut tremen-
dous ovation. AS his basket came
within speaking distance Santos-Du-
mont leaned over the side and asked:
Have won the prizeT
Hundreds of spectators shouted:
Eyes, yes" but the Count de Dion, n
member Of the committee, approached
and threw a damper on the enthusi-
asm by saying:
MY friend. you have lost the prize
by forty seconds"
Numbers of the onlookers protested
against this announcement in lively
terms, but the Count de Dion said:
THAT is the decision of the com
mittee, in accordance with the rules
of the contest"
The acronaut, after protesting
against the decision of the committee,
finally shrugged his shoulders and re-
marked:
Anyway, do not care personally
for the 100000 francs. | intended TO
give it to the poor"
The crowd persisted in declaring
that Santos Dumont had won. A num-
ber of ladies who We're present threw
flowers over the aeronaut. Others of
fered him bouquets, and one admirer,
to the amusement of the oulookers,
even presented him with a little white
rabbit.
At this moment NJ. Deutsch himself,
the giver of the prize. arrived at the
club ground. having only shortly be-
fore that moment reached Paris from
BiarritZ. He advanced. embraced San
tos-Dumont, shook hands with him
and said:
For my part. I consider that you
have won the prize"
The crowd then gave the two men
n great ovation, cheering heartily for
Santos -Dumont and Deutsch.
Santos-Dumont claims that he won
the prize because he reached the park
within the time, and that the original
rules governing the contest made no
mention of having to touch the ground
within the thirty minutes.

The percentage of foreigners In va
Tious states Is the subject OF frequent
comment. and often the cause OF
gloomy forebodlngs In regard to the
future OF the country. II is rather
surprising to find that among the very
large alien population OF New York
and New Jersey the ratio OF illIteracy
is comparatively small. In both states
the number OF foreign-born but
naturalized citizens who cannot read
and write is less than seven per cent
Even among those who have taken
out only their first papers"-and this
they can do as soon as they land In
the United States-the number OF H.
literates is only about twelve per cent.
The ability to read and write is no
guarantee that q man will be n good
citizen, but II is st least n presump-
tion that he will be better one than
the man who cannot
