The House spent nearly all of Mon-
day discussing the revenue bill. Judge
Schweigert resumed his speech IN IA
vor of the state board of equalization.
He declared that the board of assess
ors Increased the assessments of the
corporations as n retaliatory measure.
"The railroads made great mistake,
said he, when they ignored the ASSESS
ors. II 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 VIII
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 stan,l
on n 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
were neither of them the opinion of n
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 not
! authorize the assessors to do anything
outside their county, but he did not
argue that the constitution forbade the
exercise of that power. This l.eEis-
lature 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 20 cents OH tho
dollar. He will go to Jail. If necessary
the county commissioners will go will
him and we will support him. Mr.
Whitelaw of San Juan delivered m
eloquent speech in support of entrust
ing the assessors with the duty of as.
sessng corporate property. He In
sisted that it was not proposed to ere
ate board of assessors and he charged
the minority with misrepresenting the
position of the majority. He believed
the Supreme Court erred when 1t helt
that the board of equalization had as
sessiuC power.

Petitions have been presented from
the Arvada Grange and the Cripple

By vote of thirty-four to twenty
one the House Tuesday agreed to the
recommendations of the finance CON-
mittee which deprived the board oil
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 exemptins 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 2
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 European nations now striv-
ing to prove how much they love us
would probably be less demonstrative
II they knew how determined we are
to remain single.
II the reports of Prince Henry's good
sense are trustworthy the American
who attempts to "fawn at the feet of
royalty" invites the encouragement OF
a royal kick in the jaw.
AS result of the earthquake at the
City OF Mexico Gov. Mora and his
family have no home and are now liv-
ing in stable. Well, the Savior of
mankind was born in one.
Anarchists say that Prince Henry
never did useful days work and that
they will ignore him when he visits
this country But do the anarchists
want to monopolize the loafing?
No sooner does the Kaiser prove that
he is friendly to the United States than

Bishop Fowler has told the ministers

KANSAS MOB HANGS NEGRO.
Murderer of Policeman Is Lynched a.
Pittsburg.

Montgomery Cooley. a negro who two
hours before had murdered Policeman
Milton Hinkle, was taken from the jail
in Pittsburg, Kan, and iynched. The
policeman was killed with his own revolt
yer, which the negro took while the pc
Eeeinan was fighting mob of negroes.
The mob gathered. overpowered ana
captured the officers. took the negro
from the jail aud strung him NJ to a TEL
ephone pole. The rope broke and the
of his keys to the jail, bun he convinced
the members Of the mob cut his throat
and ended his sufferings
\ large number Of negro men and
women from the various mining camps in
the vicinity, among them Mont and Joe
Cooley brothers. were drinking and ca
rousing at ball Hinkle requested them
to be quiet, The Cooley brothers an
swered him in an insulting manner and
he tried to rest them. They resisted
and Hinkle pegan his whistle for help.
Then he began to use his clul in order
to protect himself from the onslaught
of the crowd He was holding his own
against three of them when Mont Cooley
grabbed the revolver from the police
mans scabbard and placing he muzzle
trigger. Other policemen purs led the
negroes, all of whom started to run.
The Cooley brothers were captured.
and locked up in the city jail. The news
Of the murder spread and crowd gath
cred at the Jail. Leaders were not slow
in coming forward aud cries of Hang
him" Burn him." We're heard on every
side. The mob surged into the corridors
and against the Jail doors. An attempt
was made to rob City Marshal Higgins
negro fell to the ground, whore one of
the mob that they were not in his posses
sion. A crowbar and hammer were pro-
cured and the Jail doors battered and
broken open.
Cooley cursed the mob when its lead
Frs entered the Jail. hut his nerve left him
when he realized death was near. He
began to supplicate and beg the officers
to protect him. but they were oyerpow-
cred and guarded by Il portion of the
mob.
Cooley was dragged from the jail into
the yard and given few moments to
talk. He told so many conflicting stories
about the affair that the mob became
impatient and hurried him three blocks
away from the Jail. Procuring n rope
the mob hanged him to Il telephone pole.
The rope broke and Cooley fell to the
ground. Some one in the crowd cut his
throat, severing the jugular vein. He
was then hanged again.
Cooley came from Pierce City, Mo-,
at the time the citizens of that town
drove the negroes out of the city, about
two years ago. The body was left hang
ing for several hours before it was cut
down.
