Of equalization a certified copy OF

the rough guess work the fusion
state officials have been making
regarding the valuation OF corpor-
alton property in Colorado during
the past three years we will give
the figures returned TO this county
by the state board giving the valu-
alton of corporation property IN
Otero county during that time.
The guess work OF the fusion state
officials, in tabulated form, is as

the second half, which will not be
due until August Ist. The county
needs the money badly. as the
treasurer has been registering war
rants drawing SIX per cent interest
for the past two, months. The
payment OF the Santa Fe tax would
place the county in excellent
financial condition. Whether the
county commissioners have a legal
right TO make a settlement with
the Santa Fe is question. The
state treasurer might call upon
Otero county to pay the fnll
amount due the state upon tie
original assessment made by the
state board for the year 1901. As
il is no one knows where we are
at, and ii is a waste OF time and
nerve force to expect or hope for a
solution OF the problem by the
fusion incompetents.

The Experiment Station has re-
ceived from the United States de-
partment OF agriculture at Wash
ington, d. c., supply OF grass
hopper fungus (disease) which is
being propogated and will be sent
free, as far as the supply will per
nit, to those farmers in Colorado
who request it, and who will prom
ise TO follow directions for its in
PRODUCTION into the fields and re
port the results to the Experiment
Station. The time required for
the proper application OF the dis.
ease upon the farm will not ex-
ceed one day for one man, and
after that it will be necessary only
to note results and report.
The fungus will be sent by ex-
press and will probably cost the
receiver IS cents in each case.
rhe Experiment Station makes
no promises what the disease will
accomplish, but ii is desired to
give it a thorough trial in this
state where grasshoppers are SO
abundant.
Those desiring to receive and
use the disease should make ap-
phca,ion to the Experiment
Station at once.

1t will be observed from the fg-
ures given above that the fusion
state board OF equalization does
not seem 10 have any method in its
madness. Some OF the corpora
ton Valuations Tor the year 1904
are one half, others one-iourtb,
and the Pacific Express Company
valuation is only about one-tenth
that OF the previous year. How
the fusion state board arrived at
these mathematical conclusions is
a mystery too lark and deep for
the average mortal here below.
to solve.
All of the corporations have
more property in O,ero county
than they had one year ago. yet
with one single exception, that OF
the Colorado Telephone Company,
all OF the valuations have been
decreased. Why this is thusly,
no one seems to know, and the
fusion state board does not seem
inclined to throw any light on the
subject. In fact, there IS good
ground to entertain the suspicion
that the fusion state officials are as
much IN the dark concerning the
matter as the rest OF us.
Another curious feature OF the
figures returned by the state board
is the valuation OF the Pullman
Palace Car Company. The valua-
ton OF this company for the year
1901 was S27,5or, and for the
year 1902 ii is only 81, about
one fourth--yet the Santa Fe has
more trains and more Pullmans
running on its lines this year than
it had last. The total Pullman
valuation in Otero county is 81, 2oI,
OF ghich amount So, 579is assess
ed TO the Pullmans running over
the Santa Fe and S3,622 to the
Pullmans running over the Mis-
sour Pacific. Those figures are
simply ridiculous TO any one who
is acquainted with local condi.
tons. The Santa Fe has about
ten passengers trains day pas
sing through Otero county, to
every one Of which is attached a
Pullman. while the Missouri Pa
cifc, has two-oue each way. The
Pullman assessment on the Mis-
souri Pacific, however, is more
than it is on the Santa Fe. 1t is
evident that the fusion state Of
ficials made very poor guess in
this particular instance.
Some OF the corporation valua-
tions are as low SIo. The taxes
on this valuation will amount to
about 80 cents, and the assessor
will be called upon to extend that
sum among dozen or more
school districts. The county will
not be much winner on this propo-
sition, as the time consumed in
making the extension will be worth
more than the taxes derived.
AT the recent session of the
board of county commissioners
that body considered a propos;-
ton made by the Santa Fe in re-
gard to paying the taxes for the
year 1907. The Santa Fe is will
ing to pay fair share OF the
taxes, on the basis of an increase
in valuation over the 1900 figures
equivalent to the increase Of other
property. Providing deal of
this character can be made the
Santa Fe will pay the frst half of
