The great and only error Of the Thir-
teenth general assembly of Colorado
was the mistake they made in passing
an unconstitutional revenue bill. The
bill has been corrected and the opinion
OF the leading members of the bar is
that it will hold in any court and is
without doubt constitutional. The
Republican press bowls because this
legislature which happens to be demo-
cratic made mistake. The present
United States congress is Republican
and they too made a mistake in passing
a Philippine tariff bill that was uncon-
stitutional. Why don't the press that
is kicking so hard at nur Legislature here
give congress II little of their attention.
Certainly the mistake of congress was
greater than that of the Colorado as
sembly. II depends upon whose OK is
gored. The Republicans have tried to
make capital out of the acts Ut the last
legislature but so far have failed. The
record of the last general assembly, The
Democrats can stand on with pride at
tbs next election. They have given the
people Of this state something that the
Republican party never gave, and that
is fair and equitable system of tax
alton whereby the corporations will pay
their just share.
