The Denver Times seems to think
that 1t has made very sensational dis
covery. 1t seems to haye just discoy-
cred tho fact that several OF the counties
10 eastern Colorado have through their
county commissioners, for some time
been rebating the penalty and interest
on delinquent tax against unimproved
grazing land and, because in Arapahoe
county the democrats had control OF the
board Of commissioners, it is attempting
to make political capital out Of this
action Of the board claiming that this re-
bate was made to favor members Of that
party. 1t Is quite refreshing to occas-
sionally tind party newspaper that is
liberal enough to accord to it's political
opponents what it always claims for
itself, desire for the welfare Of the
people in general. Simply because this
action Of the Arspahoe county commits
sioners was the act Of democratic, the
Times raises the cry Of democratic cor
ruption. But, iD its partisan zeal. the
Times hos over-reached itself. An ex-
animation OF the records Of ether coun-
ties will show that similar action has
been taken by county boards that are
controlled by republicans. Aside from
the question as to the wisdom Of this
action on the part Of county commission
srs, the Times has certainly taken very
Inconsistent position in attempting to
make political capital out Of this matter.
Public officials are sometimes sctuated
by other and higher motives than simply
desire to build up their party machine
and there is NO good reason for believing
that this action Of the county commis-
sioners in rebating penalty and interest
Oh delinquent tax was the result Of any
other motive than desire on their part
TO do what they believed was for the
best interest Of the people oftheir coup.
