Vote for Taylor Amendments.

Among the various constitutional amendments
which will be submitted to the voters of this state
next Tuesday there none of more vital import
ance than are the Taylor Bi-Ennial" amendments
The vote should be unanimously in favor of them
for their aim is to do away with the expensive Gus
tom OF holding annual elections in this state and
consolidate the state and county elections so that
they both shall be held at the same time-once in
two years.
1t costs the people of this state about S3oo. 900
each year for the fall elections under the present
system of holding the state elections in the even
years and the county elections in the odd years Bv
combining the state and county elections from S5
to 90 per cent of the expense which is now neces-
sary to hold the county elections each alternate
year from the state elections can be saved or an
proXlmately S25o,ooo each alternate year. 1t will
not require any more judges, clerks or polling
places, or any more work to get the vote registered
and cast each two years than it does for one
In Clear Creek county last fall there were ,S4s
votes cast and 1t cost the county $3.50 seventy
eight and one-halt cents for each vote. The e1-
pense of elections is in itself large burden to the
taxpayers and the saving of S per cent of this cleo
ton expense once in two years is very important
item for the people to consider 1t is purely bust
ness proposition in which every taxpayer should be
interested.
In order to accomplish this proposed consolida-
ton it has been necessary to submit several amend
ments i'll relation thereto and it will require more
or less careful study of the ballot to vote ntel-
gently on the proposition, but it be done with
three KS if put in the proper places.
The three propositions relating to County
Judges, to District Attorneys and Concerning
County Officers" all apply to accomplishing the
biennial election system and voters should vote for
all three of them in order to make it effective
Look at your ballot carefully and put an in
the blank square at the end of the line that reads
"For-the Amendment in Relation to District At
torneys." Then put an X in the blank square at
the end of the line that reads For the Amendment
in Relation to County Judges" Then go down the
ballot to "Artice XIV, Concerning County Ofic-
ers, and put your X at the end of the line which
reads For the Amendments to Sections 6, s and
II of Article XIV, Concerning County Officers"
Note carefully that this line includes Section g.
and II. That includes three amendments CON
cerning county officers, which appear singly on the
ballot below that line. By placing your X where
last suggested you vote for three amendments at
once which concern county officers but do not in
cude the amendments in relation to district attor-
neys and county judges, which should be voted in
favor of as first Indicated
These three crosses must be made in order to
make the whole biennial system effective and save
the state $25oooo and the county S2 900 each alter

New uprisings are reported IN almost
all parts of the country. notably in the

MINNEsoTA's MOTION DENIED.
Supreme Court Rules That 1t Has
No JurisdictiOn.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day delivered
its opinion in the case of the state of
Minnesota VS.. the Northern Securities
Company on the application of the
state to file a bill of complaint in that
court The opinion was read by JUS
tice Shiras and the motion for leave to
file the bill was denied on the ground
that this court is without jurisdiction.
This is the case in which the state
of Minnesota made an effort to secure
the Intervention of the Supreme Court
to prevent the merging Of the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railroad Companies by injunction. Jus
tice Shiras summed up the Judgment of
the court as follows:
"As the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific Railway Companies
are indispensable parties, without
whose presence the court, acting as q
court of equity, cannot proceed, and as
our constitutional jurisdiction would
not extend to the case if those COM
panies were made parties defendant, the
motion for leave to file the proposed
bill must be and is denied"
]. Pierpont Morgan was present when
the opinion of the court was delivered.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The progress
of Prince Henry and his escort from
the railroad station to the White House
this morning was marked by an ex-
citing episode. H.
DR.. Herbert D. A. Pierce, third as
sistant secretary of state, leaped into
his own carriage and directed the driv-
er to make haste in order that he might
reach the White House so far in ad-
vance of the Prince as to be able to
look over the arrangements before his
reception there. The driver struck the
horses and away they went up the
avenue beyond control. Mr.. Pierce
passed everything in line with great
rapidity; indeed, the pole of his car
riage swept perilously close to the un-
conscious head of Secretary Hay, who
sat beside the Prince. The adventure
ended at the gate of the White House.
Two negroes sprang forward and seized
the horses heads. They were dragged
some distance, but pluckily hung on,
and the crowd closing around, the team
was pulled up at the White House gate.

ASSAY OFFICES BLOWN UP.
Outrages In Cripple Creek District
to Get rid OF Assayers.

Victor, Col, Feb. 24.-Six assay Of
fees in the Cripple Creek district were
wrecked by being blown up by powder
early to-day. Men, women and chill
dren, occupying the buildings wrecked
were hurled out of their beds by the
shocks and serious injuries inflicted. In
every instance the object sought by
the wreckers was accomplished by the
destruction of the offices with their
fine equipment and delicate balances.
The authorities are doing everything
possible to discover the perpetrators of
the crime.
The general impression here is that
the acts are the result of a general
movement to rid the district of all
high grade ore purchasing institutions.
Blocdhounds from Canon City have
been called for.
For years there has been systematic
stealing of rich ore from the mines,
amounting to thousands of dollars
monthly. 1t is alleged that more than
fifty assayers in the district have
made a business of buying such ore.
