I tell you again you are crazy.

THE NEW SIMON LEGREE.


Harris Immediately resigned
his office in the custom house
which he owed to Lowell and be-
gan search for employment.
Il will be a pensioner of a
government of hypocrites and
liars" he exclaimed as he sealed
his letter of resignation.
And then began his weary
tramp in search of work. Day
after day, week after week, he
got the same answer emphat-
ic refusal. The only thing open
to negro was a position as port
err, or bootblack, or waiter in
secondrate hotel and restaurants,
or in domestic service as coach
man, butler or footman. He
was no more fitted for these
places than he was to live with
his head under water.

with yourself, you know it is not

on the family. The family is
the unit of civilization. The
right to love and wed where one
loves is the badge of fellowship
in the order of humanity. The
man who is denied this right in

fury.
At last he determined to Law
aside his pride and education
and learn a manual trade. Not
a labour union would allow him
to enter it's ranks.
He managed to earn few dol
lars at odd jobs and went to New
York. Here he was treated
with greater brutality than in
Boston. At last he got position
in a big clothing factory. He
was so bright in color that the
manager never suspected that he
was a negro, as he was accus-
toned to employing swarthy
Jews from Polan and Russia.
When Harris entered the fac
tory the employees discovered
within an hour his race, laid
down their work, and walked out
on strike until he was remov-
ed.

Santa Fe Tsx Musdie Adjusted.

The Santa Fe taxes due Otero
county for the year 1901, amount
ing to $50, 600, will probably be
in the strong box of the county
treasurer before the close of the
present week. The basis OF set.
tlement, agreed upon at the con
ference of the tax commissioner OF
the Santa Fe and County Treasure
er Beerbohn, is the same ratio Of
increase in the valuation OF rail-
road property over 1900 as other
property.
The original tax, under the as
sessment made by the state board
OF equalization for the year 1901,
was sos, 335 o4. Under the basis
OF settlement agreed upon the
county will receive $50, 900. In
the district court at Pueblo yester-
day the Santa Fe attorneys made
application for a decree perpetual-
ly enJoining the county treasurer
from collecting or attempting to
collect any more than the $40, 600,
the same being in full for ali taxes
due Orero county for the year
I9of.
The city of La Junta and School
District No. II will be deprived
OF considerable amount of reve.
nue. under the basis of Settlement
finally agreed upon. In the orig.
inal assessment the valuation of
railroad property in the city limits
and also in the school district was
about twenty times greater than
that fixed by the terms Of settle
ment. This was caused by the
fact that the state board of equal
ization included twenty miles of
sidetrack in the original assess,
ment, and Inder the terms of
settlement the only Santa Fe
property assessed is the main line
mileage within the city limits
which is about three quarters of =
mile. Under the original assess

the city limits w,s s2s3,25S and
the tax due La Junta S7,S32. 58.
Under the basis OF settlement the
railroad valuation wassreduced to
5.o3I. and the total tax that will
be received by the city OF La
Junts is sr5o 81.
School District No. II. under
the original assessment would
have received s7.573 taxes. but by
the settlement agreed upon will
only receive s2.759 90.
There is something radically
wrong with the method OF assess
ing corporation property in Colo
RADIO, AMI the revenue laws evi
deadly need fixing The Santa
Fe main line mileage in the city OF
Rocky Ford is nearly third great
er than in the county seat. and the
consequence is that that town re-
ceives more taxes from the rail-
road company than does La Iunta.
This city derives no benefit in the
way OF taxes by the fact OF the
shops, the round house, general
offices and thousands OF dollars
worth of other railroad property
being located inside the CITY
limits. The corporations seem to
have everything their own way no
matter what the political com
plexion OF the state administration
may be.
