kept; and the treasurer OF the last
named county shall proceed to
collect the tax set down in the
certified copy OF such tax warrant,
in the same manner as II the same
were set down IN the tax warrant
OF his own county"
Now If the fusion Legislature
should decide that the principal
ofiice" OF the Santa Fe railroad
company was located at Newdale
or Swink, the county treasurers
OF Arapahoe, Douglas, FL Paso,
Pueblo, Fremont, Las Auimas.
Bent and Prowers counties would
have 10 certify the amount OF tax
due their respective counties from
the Santa Fee. to the county treas
uIer OF Otero county, and accord
ing to the new revenue law, he
shall proceed to collect the tax
set down IN the same manner as II
the sam. were set down in the tax
warrant OF. his own county"
The county treasurer OF Otefo
county is under sIoo, 900 bonds to
collect the taxes of Otero county.
and is under no obligations to col
iect the taxes OF any other county.
Under the new revenue law, how
ever, II IL was decided that the
principal office OF the Santa Fe
was located al Newdale or SwInk,
the county treasurer OF Otero
county would have to collect $500,
900 or $500, 600 in taxes from the
Santa Fe for the counties enumer-
ated above. Furthermore, the
law does not state whether the
treasurer il, the county where the
principal Office is located shall
receive the commission tor collect
ing the tax, or do the work of his
brother treasurers Tree gratis tor
nothing aud turn the commission
over TO them. And still further
more, the law does not state what
he shall do with the money after
it is collected. After he has col
lected the taxes due, he has com,
piled with all the provisions OF The
law, and would have perfect liber-
~ to place the money to the
credit OF his !own private bank
account-that is, SO far as com
plying with the provisions of the
new revenue law is concerned.
The new revenue law seems 10
have been fearfully and wonder
fully made, and the end is not yet.

FREAK REVENUE LEGISLATION.

last Wednesday, which was at
tended byS. L. Highleyman,o of 81.
Louis. tax sdjuster OF the Missouri
Pacific, accompanied by his pri-
vatc secretary, Mr.. Schultz, and
"A. W. Dev,ne, one OF the leading
attorneys OF Pueblo. MIR. Highley-
man made a proposition to the
county commissioners offering to
settle the Missouri Pacific taxes
on the basis OF an assessed valus-
ton OF about $40, 900 per mile.
The proposition did not look very
good to the commissioners, but
they agreed 20 take the matter
under advisement.
The assessed valuation of the
Missouri Pacific for the year 1907
was about Sag, 200 per mile, and
the taxes amount TO SIG. sos SO.
For the year previous the railroad
was assessed at the rate OF St3, 900
per mile, and the taxes amounted
to $1,000. Mr. Hileman wanted
TO settle on the basis OF an assess
ed valuation OF about $40. 900 per
mile, which would make the taxes
even less than they were tor the
year 1900.
Mr.. Highieyman was loaded with
facts and figures, and was also on
to every discrepancy OF the new
revenue law, recently enacted by
our late, lamented, fusion iegis-
iature. When he pointed out
some OF the discrepancies and
asked the commissioners and
county treasurer what they were
going to do about them, he was
met by silence that was as elo-
quent as II was painful. No living
man could tell what he would do
when directed by such mixed up
conglomeration as the new rev.
enue law.
As none OF the railways or cor
porations have as yet paid the first
half of their taxes for the year 1907,
such taxes are now delinquent.
Section 222, OF the revenue law
provides: "lf taxes shall become
delinquent upon the property OF
any railway, telegraph or tele
phone company, express company,
fast freight company, palace car
or sleeping car company, or any
other corporations whose proper
ties are assessed by the state
board of assessors, the treasurer
OF the county IN WHICH THE PRiN-
CIPAL OFFICE IN THIS STATE of such
corporation is maintained, may
dis,rain and sell any OF the per.
sonal property OF such corpora
ton, wherever found, in the man
ner other personal property is
to be distrained and sold for the
non payment of taxes"
Now where is the principal OF
fee" OF the Santa Fe railroad 10.
Gated ir the state of Colorado3 1t
may be located at Swink or New
dale. The Santa Fe railroad has
not as yet designated principal
Office" in the state of Colorado,
and the great aggregation OF fns-
ionists assembled in the capitol
city for many long, weary months,
working upon this famous revenue
measure, failed or neglected to do
so. When the fusionists can't
decide, what are the county treas
urers, who are supposed to collect
the railroad taxes, going to do !?
Quien sabe ?
Section 27S further provides:
s.lf any Of the taxes levied upon
the properties OF any corporation
or person, whose properties are
assessed by the state board Of as
SCISSORS pursuant hereto, situate in
any county other than that Of the
principal Office OF such corpora
ton or person in this state, shall
become delinquent, the treasurer
Of such county shall certify copy

A CRAZY MANS DOlNGS.
Shoots Judge and selectman and
Then Ends His Own Life.

Essex. Conn. Sept. lS.-David Hay
den, an insane veteran of the Civil war,
stopped Judge Thomas ID. Coulter on
the street yesterday afternoon and
asked II the judge had n grudge against
him. Coulter laughingly replicl no,
whereupOn Hayden drew revolver
and fired twice One bullet entered
directly below Couller's heart and an
other in the side. Coulter attempted
TO disarm the man and in the struggle
the revolver was discharged ana a
third bullet entered Coulter's hand.
He succeeded in getting the revolver,
however, and Hayden fled.
Selectman Pratt witnessed part Of the
affair and gave chase, but Hayden
gained on him rapidly and ran to his
house. where he procured shotgun and
shot his pursuer just over the heart rs
he attempted to enter the yard.
Hayden then re-entered the house
and became involved in II quarrel with
his sister Elizabeth. The latter ran
into the street. calling for assistance.
A moment later the report of n gun
was heard in the rear of the house and
when the crowd which had collected
ran into the back yard they found Hay
den on the ground with the top of his
lead blown Off. On the ground beside
him was the shotgun with which he had
wounded Pratt and then ended his own
life.
Pratt and Coulter were taken TO the
Memorial hospital in New London.
They are both probably futally
wounded.
Hayden was dishonorably els-
charged from the navy in 1861 and has
tried repeatedly to get pension. He
has always been refused and blamed
any one who refused to take up his
case. '"hiS is the only reason that can
be advanced for the shooting.
