SAINT. =. u. muds,. Adjusted.

E. T. Cartilage, of Topeka,
Kan, tax commissioner of the
Santa Fe, was La unta visitor
last Wednesday. and after a con-
ference with County Treasurer
Beerbohm, basis of settlement of
the railroad taxes for the year
1901 vas agreed upon. The Santa
Fe agrees to pay taxes for that
year on the same ratio of increase
in valuation over 1900 as other
property.
The fusion state board of equal
ization doubled the valuation Of all
corporation property in the state,
and the amount of taxes due Otero
county under the assessment made
by the board was over sos, 900.
AS the courts declared the assess
ments illegal, every county in the
state. with the exception OF Otero,
Bent ana frowerS, compromised
with the corporations and got
what they could. Pueblo county
compromised for one-third Of the
original tax for that year, and the
basis of settlement in other coun
ties was even less than that. The
three counties named above COM
bined in an effort to effect settle
ment on the basis finally agreed
upon. Otero. Bent and Prowers
were the last counties in the state
to make a settlement, and will re-
ceive greater proportion Of the
original tax than any other county
Under the basis of settlement
agreed upon, Otero county will
receive $36, 900. and the Santa Fe
will settle with Bent and Prowers
counties on the same basis. The

Sssts Fe paid Oteso coussy s3a.-
a%6 81 in 1900; the 1901 tax. which
the courts declared illegal. amount
ed to over S6S. 600. while the tax
fos the year 1904 is only S35.-
COS IS. These figures demon
strate very clearly why the courts
declared the assessment of 1901
illegal.
The Santa Fe will cause a in
junction to be issued from the dis
trict court next week restraining
the treasurers Of the three counties
named from collecting taxes in
excess of the amount agreed upon.
and this legal procedure will re-
lieve the tTeasureTs and their
bondsmen OF all liability in the
matter. The money will probably
be paid into court within the next
ten days and turned over to the
treasurer of Otero county.

Socialist. Rend Tn. Atmosphere.

Mrs. Ida Crouch Hazlett, OF
Denver, state organizer of the Col.
orado socialist party, has been in
town this week, and held street
meeting in front OF the Mint saloon
last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Haz-
lett is brilliant woman and an
entertaining speaker, and defined
the socialist scheme OF the collec-
tive ownership Of the means of
production and distribution.
She made the startling declara-
ton that each and every male in
habitant OF the United States pro-
duced $40 worth of wealth each
d.y, while the average wage re
ceived each day was only So. The
]. Pierpont Morgans and John d.
Rockefellers of the country re-
ceived the SS difference by reason
of the fact that they own the
means of production and distribu-
tion. She wants a new shuttle Of
the cards, and all men placed on
an equality with pair of deuces
Mrs. Hazlett headed the state
ticket last fall as the socialist can
didate for congressman at large.
She is a member of the Denver
Woman's Club, and is as we'll
known in club work as she is in
police circles in the Capitol City,
several of her street meetings
there having been broken up by
the minions OF the law.
The socialists are especially
active in the state at present
organizing their adherents. Fred
erick Strickland. one Of their most
prominent national workers, has
been holding series OF street
meetings here this week. MIR.
Strickland is the man who made
the noted fight in Cleveland for
the right OF free speech on the
public streets. under the protec-
tion Of Tom L. johnson, who was
nominated by the democrats by
acclamation Wednesday for COVER
nor of Ohio.

Credit Clearing Mouse.

w. A. Curl, OF Ottawa, Kan,
has been in town for several days
and has succeed I'd in interesting a
sufficient number OF our local busi-
ness men in his "credit clearing
house" system to justify him in
establishing a branch house in this
city. On September Ist Offices
will be opened in rooms I9 and 20
in the Central block. with S. w.
Brown. of this city, as manager
The object OF the credit clearing
house is to gather and preserve IN
record those facts which give men
credit and give creditors a knowl-
edge of whom to credit. All busi-
ness meh are reported to the
wholesale trade as to their man
ner of meeting their obligations,
and in justice they are entitled to
the same information in regard to
those who deal with them. Branch
houses will also be established in
Rocky Ford, Las Animas, Pueblo.
Trinidad, Ration and other points,
and as records are transferred,
members of the clearing house will
have knowledge of whom to
credit at other points.
