Sihsle Tax Bill Passes Senate.

Denver, Feb. l4.-After debate last
ing the entire day the senate finally pas
sed the single tax bill, introduced by
Senator Bucklin OF Grand Junction,
whichprovides fora constitutional amend
ment submitting to the people the quest
ion Of adopting or rejecting the Austral-
ian land tax system in Colorado.
This was not accomplished. however,
until the original bill had been 30 amend-
ed a. to make it radically different from
the measure introduced. The amend
ments were offered by those opposed to
the bill and were accepted by its sup
porters "a q compromise. Senator Buck
lin admitting that he did not consider it
probable tho DILL could be psssed BY the
necessary majority in its original form.
BY one Of the amendments made to-
day, the adoption Of this single tax is
optional with each individual county OF
the state. 90 that il the people vote for
the constitutional amendment provided
for by the bill it is then pissed up to the
counties, each county deciding for itself
whether it shall be operative in such
county. Another restriction placed up
on it is that only resident Taxpayers shall
be eligible t vote on the question in the
various counties, and the countiss can
orly vote on the questi ~ once in four
years.
The maximum limit OF the tax on land
for state purposes according to the bill
- introduced WAS four mills. This has
been changed by An amendment to two
mills.

Slowly, but nevertheless surely.
the newspaper publisher is realizing
that he has been made a puppet of
by the big advertising agencies.
Our advice is to refuse every for>
eign advertisement. unless you get
local retail rates. Make the foreign
advertiser take the run of the paper
and give him preferred position
when he pays extra for same. Re-
fuse E. o. D. ads, as it is a trick
of the agencies to secure extra adj
vertising. If the agency has been
slow to pay, get your money in ad>
vance. We believe the above rules,
if followed out, will secure you
more business than you can handle.

Minister'S Criticisms on the
Methods of Mrs. Nation.

Denver, Feb. l2-(To the Republican,
Il note in your issue OF III th inst, that
DR.. Vosburgh, pastor of the First Baptist
church, Denver, does not like the method
OF Mrs. Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher. He considers her "intsnse and

For over 20 years Kansas has been
theoretically = temperance state, but in
all the large and most OF the smaller
towns the law has practically been 4
dead letter. Respectable, and it is pre-
sumed Christian, business men have as
sisted in the election OF officials who it
was known would protect the illicit traf
fic. You see, the fnes from the joints
helped to pay the expenses of che city
administration, and by allowing tho
saloons to degrade and mako drunkards
OF their boys they probably reduced
their personal taxation as much a. SO
and $l5 year. Ministers all over Kan
sas for years have preached we'll balanced
sermons on the evils OF intemperance
and suggested that the law should be
enforced The officials and joint-keepers
read these beautiful sermons and ad
mired them, but sold as much rum as
usual. Mrs. Nations method was dras-
tic, unconventional, and, as DR.. Vos-
burgh says, tho lady is probably intense
and ill balanced. but all the Same she
seems to have accomplished more than
all the reverend gentlemen put together.
Denver is rotten from core to circum-
ference with tho whiskey evil. Its ad
ministration is corrupt from top to bot

of young mon are ruined yearly by the
saloons and gambling dens fostsred by
them. Now it occurs to me to ask what
the Rev. Mr. Vosburgh has ever done TO
lessen this evil. Does drawing q CON-
