La Junta tribune., 1901-03-02

While we believe that the ma
jority Of the citizens of La Junta
are reasonably satisfied with the
regulations and restrictions which
have been imposed upon the
saloon business in the town, the
time is not far away when the
present feeling of satisfaction will
be turned to one Of discomfort un-
less there is decided change for
the better in the attitude OF some
Of the men engaged in that busi-
ness. So long as the saloon busi-
ness is iegalized, and the people
accept money in the form OF an
annual license for carrying il on,
il is legitimate business in the
eye of the law and is entitled to
protection; but when proprietors
of saloons make a business OF sell
ing liquor on Sunday, selling to
minors and in other ways disre-
garding the restrictions which the
law throws around them, they
cease to be entitled to its protec-
ton. even though they do con-
tribute their annual license fee.
There has been a strong sem
timsnt in La Junta for several
years against the saloon business,
and we venture the assertion that
unless certain Of the saloons
are more careful of the Sun
day closing ordinance in the flu
ture than they have been in
the recent past, this sentiment
will grow to such proportion that
Mrs. Nation will find no joints to
smash when she comes to La
unta.

On April 10, 1899, there was
outstanding and unpaid $500 in
town warrants running back sew
eral years, and all bearing interest
At per cent. BY April +, 1901,
the Indebtedness represented by
those old warrants will have been
reduced to less than $1,000. The
tax levy for city purposes during
the last two years has been twenty
eight mills, large levy. but neces-
sary to pay off these old warrants.
The total levy this year for all pur-
poses in La Junta, including
school, state, county and town
tax is 81 6.1o mills, SO that man
who pays sz5 tax pays. in round
numbers, So. so OF 1t to the city.
Property Is only assessed on about
one third Of its cash value. Still
the tax Is enormously burdensome.
With the wiping out Of this old
Indebtedness the levy can and un-
doubtedly will be reduced. In
1895 the town levy was fourteen
mills; in 1896. ten mills; in 1897.
twenty mills; in 1898, thirty mills.
and. as above stated, in 1899 and
1900. twenfy-eight mills. The.
paymens during the last two years
Of about IS, 500 Of old Indebted
ness therefore accounts in . meas
ure for the heavy tax and tells
where some ofthe peoples money
has gone.

And it will say further that any
thing OF a like nature which it
writes in the future will be false
and untrue and printed by mis-
take. This paper wants to be
decent and tries to be, but how
can it be expected to always walk

such golden inducements to wander

last campaign.

Now that Otero county is again
safely democratic, it behooves the
party to see to it that none but
good men find place on the
ticket. Let the party merit the
confidence reposed in it by the
people and give them good clean
set of candidates at the coming fall
election. The ticket ought also
to be selected with special refer
snce to the geography of the
county. The sugar metropolis of
the north side will justly demand
a place on the ticket and the War

The Denver Times, and certain
other republican papers in the
Capitol City and elsewhere in
Colorado, attempt to credit Sen
ator Farwell with patriotic mo-
tives in casting his solitary and
lonesome vote in the Legislature
for Wolcott. The Senator is en-
titled to no credit in that connec-
tion for three reasons. First, in
voting for Wolcott he only carried
out the pledge that he made when
Wolcott nominated him over Mr..
Bent, of Lamar; second, he voted
contrary to the interests of the
the state of Colorado and OF his
district; third, his own particular
interests lay in voting for Wolcott
because thereby he kept himself
and his political friends in La
Junta who are looking for federal
appointments in line with the

Admiral Sampson has queered
his chances to gain the title of Vice
Admiral by writing a scandalously
un- American letter to the Navy
Department, disapproving of the
promotion from the ranks of any
man, no matter how deserving,

OF Paul Jones and Oliver Perry!
Think Of an Admiral of the United
States Navy saying that warrant
officer should not be promoted be-
cause he is apt to lack the gentle
manly bearing" necessary to cause
him to shine in foreign drawing
rooms in times of peace. When

1t is serious question whether
the classification of the town as a
city OF the second class and conse
quently the organization under
such classification is not wholly
illegal and void. The unseemly
haste and unnecessary secrecy
used indicate desire on the part
OF those instrumental in procuring
the filing OF the certificate by MIR.
Seeley, to increase rather than to
lessen an already enormous bur-
den OF taxation under which the
people OF La uuta are struggling.
If these over Jealous individuals
have done something which rem
ders illegal and abortive the work
Of organization now in progress,
the results may be even more far
reaching than at first appears.
