ton urging Congress to grant indcpen-
dence TO the F'ilipinos.

tlon for n memorial to Congress urging

Senate is practically at standstill.
waiting for the measure to be passed
up to them.
Petitions have been presented from
the Arvada Grange and the Cripple
Greek Chamber of Commerce asking
that the Bucklin amendment be re-
pealed.
BY vote of thirty-four to twenty
one the House Tuesday agreed to the
recommendations of the finance COM
mittee which deprived the board of
equalization of power to assess corpor-
ate holdings and vest that authority in
the assessors.
Among the amendments suggested TO
the fiat tax section is one exempting in
surance companies from the operation
of the law. 1t is claimed that this
would put domestic companies on
plane with foreign corporations. which
is not the case under the workings of
the present law. 1t Is generally agreed
that all corporations should be treated
alike. and that the rate should be
cents on each $1,000 of capitalization,
where the par value of the stock is
more than 81, and 2 cents per 1000
shares where the par value is less.

The House spent nearly all of Mon
day discussing the revenue bill. Judge
Schweigert resumed his speech in ia
yor of the state board of equalization.
He declared that the board of assess
ors increased the assessments of the
corporations as a retaliatory measure.
1.-The railroads made great mistake,
said he. when they ignored the ASSESS
ors. If they had made the proper pre-
sentation of their case. this valuation
would have been materially reduced.
You might as well attempt to pass an
act to bind the Union as to give an as
SCISSOR power outside his county.
When the individual assessor meets
with his colleagues he surrenders his
discretion and abides by the will of the
majority At least that would be the
effect II this law means anything, and
l am discussing it on the supposition
that 1t does mean something. 1t will
not be gainsaid that an officer cannot
surrender his discretion. If he does
his act is void. The Legislature could
trust the board of equalization to make
the assessments for the next year, or
until the constitution might be
changed He pointed out the political
advantage of going before the people
of Colorado this fall with candidates
who would be members of the board
of equalization, and who would stand
on a platform pledging an enforcement
of the revenue law. He concluded with
an appeal to the House to defeat the
committees amendment. and as he re-
sumed his seat he was warmly ap-
plauded Mr.. Ballinger argued that the
decisions Of Judges Dixon and Riner
We're neither of them the opinion of
court of final resort. Eventually the
Supreme Court of Colorado must de-
termine the validity of the law. Judge
Riner held that the constitution did 'iot
authorize the assessors to do anything
outside their county. but he did not
argue that the constitution forbade the
exercise of that power. This Lecis-
lnture is not possessed of sufficient
power to compel the assessor of Park
county to assess the private property
of his county at full cash value. while
the board of equalization is assessing
corporate property at 30 cents on the
dollar. He will go to jail. If necessary.
the county commissioners will 20 With
him and we will support him. Mr..
Whtelaw of San Juan delivered an
ing the assessors with the duty Of as
sessinC corporate property. He in
sisted that it was not proposed to ere
ate a board of assessors and he charged
the minority with misrepresenting the
position of the majority. He believed
| the Supreme Court erred when 1t held
that the board of equalization had as
| sessing power.
