coins-nickels. three-cent pieces and

pieces Although the Baltimore sub
treasury has no record of the amounts
of coins detected there, because of the
fact that the United States secret SER

the city and take them TO Washington

purpose of detecting whether or not
any new counterfeits are being circu-

into the local office of the treasury.
About 15.000.0O0 pennies IRE handled
by the local sub-treasury each year,
and of these a remarkably small per-
centage have been found of no value.
1t was stated ut the sub-treasury yes

w. S. STATIONS WILL.
Petition Is Filed for Its Admission to
Probate.

Colorado Springs. Sept. 24.-County
Judge Orr yesterday fixed saturday,
October 4th, at 10 o'clock, as the date
for hearing the application to probate
the will of the late w. S. Stratton, upon
petition of the executors. The estate
is appraised by the executors at only
S5,OOO,o0O This is understood to be a
legal formality only, and by no means
represents the true value of the prop
erty. The petition will come up for
hearing at the time set, unless con-
tinuance should be asked and granted.
DIR. d. III. Rice. one of the executors,
this morning gave out the first state
ment regarding the will and its effect
ON the community. He expressed his
surprise that there should exist any diff
ference of opinion as to the value of the
proposed home in the Springs, and de
clared it as his Judgment that the in
stitution would prove great blessing
to the poor, and be go1d thing for
the city and state.

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS
AMENDMENTS FULLY EXPL AIMED

that I could adjust the terms Of office
of those officials, as the public was not
willing to have the terms of office of
county commissioner only two years,
and have an entirely new board go into
Office every two years. So that under
this bill two commissioners will so into
office at the same time in the January
following the presidential election, and
the third member will go into office in
the January following the intervening
state election. In counties having five
commissioners, three so in at one time
and two at the other"
In answer to the objection that be-
cause of the many candidates to be
voted for at one time Objectionable per-
soma may occasionally be elected to Of
flee. Mr. Taylor calls attention to the
facility with which Il straight ticket
can be voted and at the same time par
ticular candidates on the opposing tick
et voted for under our system.
In this connection Mr.. Taylor intro
duces table showing the dates of cleo
ton in all the states of the Union, by
which it appears that annual OF quad
riennial elections are the general rule
He says:
1.-The table will show that in nearly
every state in the Union the county and
state officials are elected at the same
time and on the sane ballot, and that
practically speaking. in nearly forty of
the states of this Union there is one
year of relief from political agitation
between their general elections.
Colorado is simply a quarter of a
century behind the other states and l
have for the past six years been per-
sistently trying to bring the Centennial
state up with the procession.
"The item of expense of our cleo
tions, both to the taxpayers and to the
candidates, has become so enormous
that few people who are not in public
life realize the increasing annual bur-
dcns that are heaped upon them.
For the purpose of obtaining some
reliable data upon this subject, l wrote
to the county clerk and recorder of each
county in this state, to give me II def
mite statement as far rs possible of the
items of expense of last falls county
election that was paid by each county.
Nearly all of the clerks responded, and
the following table was compiled from
these sources of information:
The Springfield herald., 1902-10-03

But it should be borne in mind that
this table of expenses only represents
from fifty to seventy-fiye per cent. of
the actual expense to the taxpayers;
while it. of course, shows nothing of
the enormous amount of money paid
out by the candidates themselves. Be
sides. it should be remembered that the
election expenses in every county in the
state are increasing very rapidly from
year to year. BY conservative calcu-
lation | am firmly convinced that from
eighty-five to ninety per cent. of the
entire cost of the election in the odd
years can be saved to the taxpayers OF
this state by consolidating the county
and state elections, thereby saving APP
proximately S250,OO0 every alternate
year, even rs conditions are at present.
Besides the saving to the taxpayers,
there will be a great saving to the can
didateS themselves, by pro rating the.
expense among the larger number. AT
present. poor man absolutely cannot.
pay the necessary candidates assess
mcnt, much less respond to the exac-
tions of an average campaign.
This feature of saving of expense is
the secouc main object of these amend
ments. There is another feature that
should he mentioned. viz: Our pres
ent constitution provides ror the fee
system for county officials, county
judges and district attorneys, and the
Legislature cannot pass law to
change it. This amendment makes it
possible for the Legislature, to pass Il
law. in case public sentiment demands
it. fixing definite salaries for any or all
officials, ana permits some other
changes that are deemed advisable and
which lack of space and want of time
Will not permit ne to mention"

Some men take the poison route.

And others get gun and shoot.
