The Australasian Tax Amend
ment will turn the whole state of
Colorado into a veritable City of
Refuge, to which the tax-burdened
labor and capital of the world may
flee. 1t will permit and empower
our people to learn that to tax Ia
bor is to discourage industry, to
tax capital is to drive away capital.
but to tax privilege is to injure
nobody, How can other states
compete with a state which aboi-
ishes local tax burdens from labor
and its products -? After any
county has adopted the PROPOSE
ton to exempt personal property
and Improvements from taxation,
such county will be a great place
for farmers, mechanics, merchants
and manufacturers; for cattle, sheep
Dand horses, for money invested in
active enterprises or loaned to ac-
tual users, for all kinds of work
ingmen and all kinds of capitalists,
for everybody in fact except the
grabbers of special privileges and
the holders of land out of use or
only partially used. Such coun-
ty must in the very nature of things
become truly prosperous. Its va
cant lots will soon become supplied
with houses, stores, factories and
shops. Its idle labor will receive
employment, and, jobs being plen-
teous. labor will not have to under
bid other labor for the privilege of
getting work, AS matter of act
ual history, this is the way the
Australasian Tax has worked in
New Zealand, which is now the
most prosperous country in the
world. If Colorado wants to lead
the world in prosperity, as well as
in civilization, let her adopt the
Australasian Tax Amendment, and
then proceed to put the Australasi-
an Tax system into actual opera
ton. Having natural resources
superior to those of New Zealand,
Colorado's place will be at the head
. of the column.

THE HARD CASH GROUP.

The recent strike in the Hard
Cash mine at Elko has since prov
ed to be more extensive than was
at first anticipated by the man
agement. Horace Miller located
the property nearly twenty years
ago and has experienced the usual
difficulties against which a pros
pector must generally contend
while developing mine. 1t has
been claimed by mining experts
who have examined the property,
that with the proper development
the Hard Cash would become one
of the best properties in the dis
trict. There has been one great
disadvantage which the owners of
this group had to overcome, and
one which has cost years of toll,
and thousands of dollars. The
entire eastern slope of Galena
mountain is covered by sheet of
parting quartzite, through which
the great fssure that traverses the
country for miles, and on which is
located many valuable claims be-
sides the Hard Cash group, are To-
Gated Through this belt of quartz
ite the opening must necessarily
be driven to reach the ore chutes
that showed in the more favorable
ground beyond. Last year cave
was encountered that gave indica-
tions that the vein was becoming
stronger, better defined, while a
considerable increase in the value
of the ore was also obtained.
This was good news to the men
who had spent years in trying to
break through the steel-like coat
of the old mountain, and the work
of getting to the ore deposits was
taken up again with renewed en-
ergy. Two weeks ago their efforts
we're rewarded by striking large
body of ore that carries values to
the amount of $50 in copper, and
from 500 to $40 in gold. New
buildings will be erected in close
proximity to the tunnel site, and
a contract for driving one hundred
feet of tunnel will be let, and which
will be finished during the coming
winter with a view to putting the
mine in condition for making
regular shipments next summer

comparison He implies that it is. God gives
TO all of us. all the time, too much to teach
that it is not we'll for us to get good things.
Nor does He say that giving is all happy,
for IL is not Men prefer a ministry of in
diligence to a salutary service; they praise
those who pander to their wants, and cru
city those who minister to their needs. 1t
often takes heroism as well as wisdom TO
give real helpfulness to men. Thus godly
giving may involve pain; it put Christ on
the cross. and makes martyrs out of those
who practice IL.
Jesus teaches this simple truth-that of
the two giving affords greater blessing
than receiving; that, although 1t may be
hard to give and easy to receive, the giver
has the better of the receiver in the trans
action. Jesus is not comparing the dull
ease and fatted selfishness of the nongiver
with the chaste. athletic joy of the giver;
no. He is comparing the giver to the re-
ceiver. and He says that the former has the
better of 1t. Do you believe this? Is Jesus
right? answer yes. for the following rea-
sons, viz:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-10-12

First-To give shows you have something.
You must have something before you can
give. / had rather be the man who gives
the bread than to be the beggar who gets
1T. 1 am more blessed in having than he is
in receiving. Giving shows having. There
is no greater JOY than to have the resources
to execute your salutary loves. a brand
new way to have fun is to go TO giving
not new a method. for it has been sue
cessfully practiced by hundreds of thou
sands. but new to many. Would it not be
fine for crusty old covetousness TO enjoy
a little of this hilarity?
Second-Giving shows you are something
1t does not take much of a man to receive;
any common tramp can do that. What vir-
tue or talent is exercised when you receive
things? Again, il does not take much of a
man TO withhold. Any common vagabond
can do that. What virtue or talent is ad-
vertised when you refuse to give? But to
give shows that you have love, sympathy
liberality; ii proclaims your superiority.
II man has the impulse of giving in him
1t shows hts goodness. Good giving Is proof

of good character. The very fact that you
give bread to the beggar shows that you,
the giver, are better than he, the receiver.
All real monarchs are givers. If you want
to rule your community condition things so
that that community will need your opin-
ions and services all the time.
Third-All the facts of life proclaim the
giver superior to the receiver. Who is
praised, the benefactor or the recipient? To
whom do we erect monuments, for those
who get or those who give? Go ask your
art galleries and libraries, and they will
tell you that the high and holy are those
who gave themselves for the world. Fame
is the constant tribute the world pays to
givers; IL is the effort OF historical force
TO combat the mean and sordid logic of this
base worlds selfshness, and to vindicate
the golden rule by placing imperishable re-
nown on the tombs of those who have been
great in giving.
Fourth-All the facts of experience pro-
claim giving superior to receiving. The JOY

bringing comfort, of substituting smiles for
tears, hope for encouragement, gratitude
for bitterness, is attested by hosts of un-
selfish natures who have rested their faith
and established their course upon this eter-
nal and benefcent principle of our Lord.
Jesus is right. Every instinct of sound
reason commends His doctrine. The golden
rule. properly understood. is practical. and
ii will bless the man who practices it more
than the one who is benefited by 1t. And
yet we shake our heads in doubt and think
it would be very hazardous to attempt to
apply this doctrine to real life.
Some one was asked us Christianity a
failure?" He answered.: II don't know; IL
never has been tried" You say that this
law of giving won't work; did you ever try
it? That is the way to find out about IL:
try it. We think it would break our hearts
and ruin US to give something away, and
so we cling on to all We have until ii gets
too heavy to carry. and then we sit down
and watch it all day long, frightened to
death for fear some one will come along
and get II away from US.

Just put ~" on TO the end Of 'miser,"
and you have misery" that is where
wretchedness comes from; IL comes from
keeping instead of giving.
A man died with thousands of dollars in
his pockets that he had boarded all the
years. What did he get for 1t? He got
buried-that Is all. HE got worse than
that-a last hour of anguish. of the horri-
BILE torture that he had lived in the world
and had done nothing for IL, and that he
was now dying and could not take his hold
ings with him. IL is disgrace to die with
a full pocket. Had that man spent himself
and his money wisely then his last days
would have been full of tremulous glories.
the chimes OF sweet ST. Charity would have
sounded grateful melodies for those sad
hours. and fame would have rescued his
name from contempt and Oblivion.
God. the unceasing giver. Is the perfectly
blessed and holy one, and He loves
cheerful giver." for in that man He sees
the image of himself. All the powers of
heaven and earth conspire to make the
giver happy. The reason so many of US
get the worst of IL in this world is because
We think we have more sense than the
