American citizens who have tried to reconcile
Senator Lodges humanitarian speeches in support
of the war with Spain will find great difficulty In
reconciling his later utterances supporting the ad
ministration's policy in the Philippines. They are
wasting valued time by trying to reconcile these OPP
posing attitudes In our government we have
several classes of statesmen who may be massed I'M
der two general classes; who are ruled by their
reason. and men who are ruled by their emotions.
The reasoning man is liable to error. He may take
the narrow selfish view, but he Is usually consis-
tent If he discovers that he is in error, he usually
confesses his mistake and explains his change OF
front The man who is ruled by his emotions can
lash himself into fury on any old proposition He
seldom troubles himself with logic. Like gunpow-
der. when he feels the touch OF fire he explodes
without an instant of elaboration. Like gunpow-
der he is just as apt to lend his energies to bullet
as he is to a Roman candle. He does not stop to
think where the bullet will land. One may enjoy
Senator Lodges oratorical antics all the better
when he appreciates the responsibility of the man
who is so easily swayed by his emotions. He sees
nothing inconsistent in his denunciation of Spanish
methods in Cuba and his hearty endorsement OF
American methods in the Philippines and that is
WHY he makes so many of his countrymen smile.

''The State will not hereafter suffer
because lists of lands redeemed or

Their reason that by the comptroler's
circulars, the assessors are very
properly directed to omit from the
tax books all and only those lands
covered by the tax certificates now
held by the State. The list of the
certificates held by the State on
September l, 1901, are on file in the
offices of clerks of the Circuit Court,
and are always accessible to the as
SCISSOR. With the aid of these lists
the assessors can and should, under
the law, ascertain from the reports
of tax sales on file in the Office
of the clerks of the Circuit
Court and of the tax collectors,
every lot and parcel of land, certi-
fled or sold to the State, for any pre-
vious year covered by the certifi-
Gates now held by the State in GUS
tody of the clerks, and should elimi-
nate all of them from the assess
ment rolls except those reported to
the assessors by the clerks each
month since as redeemed or sold.
This is not so difficult a task as
some imagine, and even if it is, the
law positively requires that it shall
be done. In short, it is the sworn
duty of every tax assessor to Rscer-
tain all property liable to taxation
and to assess all real property at its
full cash value and all personal
property at its true cash value and
it is also the sworn duty of every tax
assessor to omit from the tax books
all property, real and personal, not
subject to taxation. Any informa-
ton concerning valuation of bank or
corporate stocks not accessible in
your county that can be supplied
from the State Departments will be
furnished on application.

The TRUSTS" In Colorado.

The month of May has not brought
to the surface much Development Of
Trust" plans. 1t is highly prob able
that little if anything more will be
done IN the way of investment until
congressional action is determined.
In the meantime, we have assurance
from the Greedy Sugar Co., the Great
Western Sugar Co. and the National
Sugar Co. that no sales of stock to
"Trusts" representatives have been
made and that these factories are
and expect to remain Independent.
Whether the "Trust" will build the
proposed factories at Fort Collins,
Greedy, Longmont and Manzanola,
can only be surmized, but it is highly
probable that work will begin on
three out of the four this fall. We
hope it may be SO, because we be-
lieve it will be for the general good
of the state to increase the acreage
planted, and the amount of money
thereby put in circulation among
farmers and business men.
We do not share in the fears ex.
pressed by some, that the advent of
the "Trust" spells ruin to the inde-
pendent factories. We prefer to in
terpret it as leading rather to harmo.
