fDaum of Leadville and Mrs. F.: O.

His Last Hope Realized.
[From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont ]

(From the Sentinel, GebO, Mont.1
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1880, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and his afterwards
upon his claim, he encount-
cred much bad water which, together
with the severe heat, gave him very
bad case of the diarrhna which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as II
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in II few
minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the pa
tient was taking his first sound sleep
for fortnight. That one little bot
tie worked a complete cure, and he
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale by

The Equalization Outrage.

The greatest blot on Governor Or
mans administration was, sitting as
board of equalization, it set at
naught both the letter and the spirit
of the new revenue law in dealing
with the taxation Of corporations.
In 1901 the state board of assessors
fixed the value for taxing purposes of
railroads, telegraph, telephone, ex-
press and foreign car companies at
1921, ,4O6, 500. 1t was none to high. 1t
hardly bore a fair relation to the
value put upon private property.
But one of the district courts held
the board of assessors-not the valu-
ation-unconstituti SO at the ex-
ira session called by Governor Orman
the full powers of the old state board
of equalization were restored. The
law for fixing values, however, was
not materially changed. The gist of
the law, as it was finally adopted and
as it is now, was that the market
value of the stocks and bonds of these
great corporations should enter into
the valuation Of company property.
But when the board OF equalization
met in 1902 it threw over this feature
Of the law. 1t went back to the
abandoned system Of assessment
clearly at the behest of the, corpora
tions involved-and In doing so
wounded the new law in its most vi
tai part and inflicted deep injustice
upon all other taxpayers.
In 1902 Orman's board of equaliza-
ton cut the valuation of railroad
property down to $50, 4sO,O0O-a re-
duction of about one-half from 1891.
Now comes Governor Peabody $
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1903-06-20

board and reduces Orman's valuation
by II million. 1t was the unwarrant-
ed reduction by the Orman board
that defeated Governor Ornan for
Governor Peabody,
If he and his board had done their
duty, would have raised the valua-
ton from the year before at least
$50, 100000. Instead they have cut it
down and they expect the public to
condone the betrayal.
No board of equalization can justify
|such ridiculously low assessment of
railroad property. The last census
places the value OF railroad property
lin Colorado at between $2OO,00O,OOO
and $500, 100000. The interstate COM
merce commission gives the average
stock and bond value of Colorado
railroads at $4,000 per mile, while
Peabody's beard places it at but $lO,-
900 per mile, What influences oper-
1ated upon the board the public can
only guess, and there is no need for
too much charity in making the
guess.
/ 1t is the private property owner
that suffers by the gross inequality
sthe equalization boards have created.
i There seems to be but one remedy.
ut is in the hands of the county asses
ssors. They should reduce valuations

property. To do SO will probably re-
suit in Il deficiency. Not only let 1t
come but it should come. 1t will re-
auire just such a shock and public
sentiment created by it to force the
recreant boards of equalization to do
their duty by the state and the peo-
ple.-Denver Times.

REPRESENTATIVES.


The last issue Of the Steamboat

spent the interval since the adjourn-

strenuous for the senator, hence his
trip south to recuperate.
1'At the recent session of the legls-
lature, despite the reckless course of

good legislation was enacted and OAr

part therein. All the legislation
asked by the stock interests VISA
passed..

work of our representatives was theiy
efforts towards settlement Of the
long and bitter senatorial fight, which
ended by the Democratic party -
deeming Its pledges and returnf1&

senate. The contest was one Of the
most bitter ever held in Colorado and
it was the fond hope of the opponontH
that the Democratic party, with onH
one majority on joint ballot, wonN
break faith with the people and fatl

tor Jefferson expressed his views r.
both state and national issues.
Roosevelt he said, lis not nea1
as strong in the East, from whasI
can learn, as Ii generally believed
here. He will undoubtedly be .
whirlwind in the west, but the gem
eral opinion is that with a Demo-
cratic candidate upon whom all fac
tions of the party can unite, Roose-
welt is far from having sure thing.
In Colorado the opinion of the
astute Democratic leaders is that
next year Democratic state ticket
will be elected. Peabody is a great
disappointment and the party is
badly divided. The factions are
much more bitter against each other
than against the Democrats. There
seems no possibility of their getting
together and with a good ticket the
Democrats ought to have little diff
