Even if our constitutional provis.
ion had no existence, the legisia-
ture would be powerless to author
ize city to aid a purely private
enterprise as distinguished from a
public enterprise, and the fact that
the city will derive an advantage
from the private enterprise does
not alter the rule"
The TRIBUNE does not know the
contents OF the two opinions rem
dered besides the one quoted
above, but we understand that they
are of the same tenor. In the face
OF these two opinions, however,
the promoters are still working
tooth and toe nail in an effort to
"bull" the thing through if posi-

bluff. 1t is the opinion OF the

the proposed $1,000 900 issue are
not just what they appear to have
been-except to the Initiated. The
bond issue was authorized by the
old council. dating from Octooer /,
1902, but the sale of the bonds has
not yet been efecte and probably
never will be if the present council
can prevent it. Although the
TRIBUNE from the very first has
been IN favor OF the project, it has
been convinced against it's will
that the scheme will fail for the
simple reason that it has not leg
in law to stand on, notwithstand
ing that it is OF the same opinion
still that the scheme is a good one
If lawful.
From the very first the bond
deal has been clothed with an air
of mystery. No one knew any
thing conderning the details except
few promoters, and no one was
able to find out anything concern
ing il. The TRIBUNE made an ef-
fort to find out something on sew
eral occasions, but was always
cautioned to keep quiet and say
nothing as it might affect the ulti-
mate success of the deal. The
project was in the hands OF level
headed men in whom we had every
confidence, but they seem to have
lost their wits in contem plating
the magnificent benefits that would
accrue to La unta providing the
project was successfully carried
out.
Three legal opinions were
secured by the old council on the
legal aspect of the proposed
scheme. One from w. Nc
Creery, one from Calvin E Reed,
and another from Henry Dubs.
The first opinion was given in
August. 1909, and cost SI36. 10;
the second in December. and cost
$Ioo, and the third still later at a
cost OF $500. The present council
has never been able to find out who
are the custodians of the opiu-
ions, and have never known
whether they favored the scheme
or were opposed to it.
The three opinions are the prop
erty Of the city. and ought to be
10 the possession OF some of the
city officials. Mayor Corbin. how
ever, declares that he does not
even know where the opinions are,
has never seen them, and does not
know whether they favor the
scheme or are opposed to it. Re
appointed . committee two months
ago. with instruction, to locate the
opinions, but the members of the
committee have never been sue.
cessful in doing so.
At the meeting OF the city coun
Gil Monday night one of the opin-
isns was accidentally located-thst
OF Calvin E. Reed, conceded to be
one Of the best posted lawyers on
irrigation matters in the state.
The document is very lengthy and
gives in detail the difficulties that
will have to be met and overcome,
giving law and citations on every
aspect OF the project iathered by
the city Of La Junta. No one has
ever contended that the primary
object Of the scheme was to secure
an adequate supply Of water for
the city's use. This feature was
merely incidental. The main OBJ
ject was to secure water for the
Otero canal and develop the coun-
try adjacent to La Junta. On this
feature Of the scheme, Mr.. Reed,
in his opinion, says:
"The scheme proposed, ss I
undsr. tand il. is for the city to is
sue large amount Of bonds and
with the proceeds acquire the right
to large amount Of water, nine

some otherwise very intelligent bank

4 Chinese Post Office

Mrs. H. T. Ford of the China Inland
Mission at Tai-kang, in the central
province of Honan, in a letter to her
family, has some amusing things to
tell about the establishment of the
Chinese Imperial Post in the pro-
vince, which is some weeks journey
from the coast. She says:
1--WE have got the Chinese Imperial
Post here now. At Kai-feng, when
they first got it, the post office clerks
had fight with some men who bought
stamps and wanted the clerks to lick
them and put them on the letters for
them. They said the clerks were
there to lick the stamps, and paid for
the business, and they wouldn't lick
them. But the clerks wouldn't agree
to lick them, so they came to blows
and the police had to come in and sep
arate them.
Here at Tai-kang, the man who has
got the post office has begun web.
Harry was in his shop when the first
customer came for a stamp. 1t took
him nearly five minutes to find the

when he gave it to the man he said
in a very decided wey: Now lick
it and put it just there The GUS
toner was foolish Ter wise) enough
to do so and now a custom has been
established in Tai-kang that all pur~
chasers of stamps must lick them
and stick them on. There was
great row at the Kai-feng Post Of
fee one day because an address on
letter could not be found and the let
ter was brought back.
''The sender wanted his money back
because the letter had not been de-
livered, but the clerk refused to give
it to him, contending that they had
had more trouble over it than if it
had been delivered. Another man
was determined to get the post Office,
clerks into trouble because he had
sent a letter some time ago and re-
ceived no answer. This was clear
proof, he said, that the letter had
never been sent. The service here
is somewhat irregular YETI

Puzzles for Uncle Sam

J y
the classification of goods, and which
means thousands of dollars to the
importers, is very narrow. a STORY
is told of the decision by the supreme
court of a case which involved the
question Of whether a certain article
was sauce or fish, the rates on
which were widely different. The
judges could not agree, and one night
the chief justice took one OF the
sample bottles home to his ri wife.
"Of course that's sauce" she said,
and sauce it was decided to be, much
to the benefit of the importers. -
Some of the most puzzling matters
which come before the appraisers and
the courts are caused by the importa-
ton of strange articles of food for
the use of foreignsborn members Of
Uncle Sans large family. Just now
the courts are wrestling with the
question of how sake, the favorite
alcoholic drink Of Japan, should be
classified Large quantities of it are
imported at Honolulu for the use Of
the Japanese laborers there. The
question is whether it should pay
duty as a wine or a beer, and from
the testimony, it seems to partake of
the nature of both. In order that
the best legal talent could be obtain
ed to argue the case, without making
it necessary for the lawyers to go
all the way to Honolulu, an importa-
ton was arranged at New York, and
the case will be fought out in the
courts

It may be said that nothing has
done more to lift the moral tone OF
business than the healthful criticism
of the press. Twenty years ago, the
state of financial journalism-not
merely the purely financial press, but
also that portion of the daily press
devoted to finance-was not extreme
" good Such journalism was mark
ed by much ignorance, with, unfor-
tunately, at least some dishonesty.
Apart from this, the theory upon
which it was mainly based was not
sound. The people who made most

that they were entitled to control, in
large measure, it's publication, both
as to matter, time, and manner. Even
