Senator Ammons has introduced a

10. The important changes from the
present law are embodied in the fol-
lowing sections: Section 10. All
corporations in this state or doing bus
mess therein, shall be subject 10 taxa
ton for state, county, school, munich
pal and other purposes, on all taxable
property. tangible or intangible, owned
or used by them within the territorial
limits of the authority levying the tax.
The General Assembly shall provide
by law, through the establishment of
tax commission or otherwise, for the
assessment Of such property lying in
two or more counties, and the distri-
button of the valuations of such prop
erty among the counties in which such
property is situated. Section 2. Sec
ton 10 of article 10 of the constitu-
ton of the state of Colorado shall be
amended to read as follows: Section
10. There shall be State Board of
Equalization, consisting of the govern
or, state treasurer, secretary of state,
and attorney general; also in each
county of this state, a County Board
of Equalization, consisting of the
Board of County Commissioners Of
such county. The duty of the State
Board of equalization shall be to ad-
just and equalize the valuation of all
taxable property among the several
counties of the state, by classes or
items, or otherwise. in such a manner
as to secure just valuation Of all
taxable property, to the end that prop
erty of the same value shall pay the
same state tax wherever situated.
The board shall also have the power.
as an incident to equalization only, to
Increase or decrease the aggregate
valuation of any or all taxable proper
ty of the state. The duty of the COun-
ty Board Of Equalization shall be to
adjust and equalize the valuation Of

by the Senate in committee of the
whole. The first important amend
ment was the striking out the portion
of the bill that permits the employ
ment of convict labor, SO that the tun-
mel must be constructed by free labor
Another change provides that if the
board employs superintendent. he
shall have a competent mining engi-
neer of at least five years experience
Senator Arthur thought that If the
state was in no way liable. there was
no reason why the governor and audit
or should sign the certificates, and
asked for information. Senator Ward
explained that the governor received
monthly reports on the construction of
the tunnel. and il any time he found
any reason for doing so. he might with
hold his signature. Senator Stewart
objected to the considering of the bill
at all. He thought it should have
been left out of the call, and that the
members were going to get into seven
different kinds of trouble If they were
not careful. He wanted to amend the
the bill so as to let the board be APP
pointed from any part of the state
Senator Buckley made strong. appeal
to the members to grant this. almost
the first request the western slope had
ever made. Democracy for the west
ern SLOPE" he went on. "is before the
bar OF the Senate and by the dictates,
of this body it will rise or fall. Too
long have we been beggars at the
doors Of the great parties of the state.
Too long have we asked in vain of the
people of the eastern portion of the
state. The people of the western slope
have seldom asked anything of the
state of Colorado. If this were the reg
ular session, and the appropriation bill
not passed, you would not dare to OPP
pose this bill for fear of combination
from the western slope, and you seem
to think we will never be here again."
Senator Ward followed in the same
strain, reminding the senators from
Weld, Pueblo and Arapahoe Senator
Rush. that the senators from the west
ern slope had stood by them last year
in getting their appropriations. He
thought, IL for no higher motive, it
was the best kind of politics to pass
the bill, which was asked by all cit
liens of all parties from
section that had hitherto asked
nothing from Colorado. He again
explained the value of the COVER
nors signature and Its significance as
check and guarantee that the re-
ports OF the work were satisfactory,
while the bill expressly stated that the
state assumed no liability. The sig
nature would be withheld If the gov.
ernor had reason to believe that
there was any reason for doing
so. Senator Rush held that the sig.
nature of the governor and auditor
was mandatory and he was entirely op-
posed to the use of their names to
float what he considered n purely local
matter. He thought that more and
better land. near market. could be
reclaimed for less money. lie quoted
