THE LOCAL TAX LAWS
BILL 10 AMEND THEM PASSED BY
THE HOUSE.
MIR. Baker Makes Single-Tax Speech
Against Selling Liquor
to Minors.

The House this afternoon passed the bill
reported by Representative Cowherd from
the committee on the District of Columbia
amending the local tax laws. In calling
up the bill Mr.. Cowherd stated that one of
the principal changes proposed in existing
law Is that providing for tax on heir
looms and articles Of personal adornment.
In the original draft Of the personal tax
law these articles were exempted. Mr.. Cow
herd stated further that an important pro-
vision Of the bill was one prohibiting the
sale Of intoxicating liquors to minors.
Representative Robert Baker of New York
was yielded twenty minutes time, during
which he made vigorous single-tax speech,
urging that land and not personal property
or business enterprises should be taxed.
Mr.. Baker declared 1t to be an undemo-
cratic principle to tax man who conducts
a legitimate business. For instance, he
said, apothecaries are required to pay In
the District So year. If they do not pay
this sum of money they are branded as
criminals and may be prosecuted. He de-
nounced the local tax laws as class leg
islation and said that they were in violation
of the democratic doctrine enunciated by
rights to all and special privileges to none.
Mr.. Baker said that to tax a building or
business Is to punish men for their thrift
and industry. The natural system OF taxa
upon the land and not upon the improve
ments.
No Selling Liquor to Minors.
Representative McDermott Of New Jer-
sey offered an amendment to the clause
making 1t unlawful to sell liquors to mi
nors by adding the word knowingly" to
the provision, which reads that hereafter
1t shall be unlawful for the owner, proprie-
tor or any employe of bar room to sell
liquor or dispense it in any manner to any
person under the age of twenty-one years.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Baker of New York then offered an
amendment exempting building and loan
associations from all taxation. In support
of the amendment he said that If any
body of men ought to be encouraged 1t was
those who organized building and loan as
sociations.
He hoped that the House would agree
to this amendment. Representative Cow
herd stated that the tax of 2 per cent pro-
posed for building and loan associations
was entirely satisfactory to the officers
of these organizations.
No other amendments were offered to the
bill and Mr.. Bakers was voted down with
only himself voting in the affirmative. The
bill was then taken up and passed with
only Mr.. Bakers voice raised in dissent.
The bill, as passed today was printed in
full in The Star several days ago.

Such animals as the giraffe and rhinoceros are almost impossible to get, and are rated from S10,000 to $50 in the animal markets of the world.

arrived in Prescott punching a burro. He camped near where I was stopping and began to unload his mind to me of what he had been doing and intended to do. He said: Wal, sir, I'll tell you what I did in that mine." He did not duplicate any others in connection with him. 'I worked along in the tun- mel al the place where they missed the ore streak and finally I fixed one of the panels of tagging Onthe side between two of the stulls. I finally got it fixed so the panel would slip out of the way sufficiently to admit me and I could close the panel and any one passing would never suspect anything. I got it so l could pass out dirt which would be put into the passing car and go over the dump and of course when anyone was approaching I would receive a signal and lay quiet. I kept on at work until I had sufficient space to put in 9 door, which helped to deaden the sound. The ore I would put into an oresack. In the night it would be put into the car and be run out and over the dump where it was taken care of and got out of the camp and now I am leaving the country and keep going be- hind this burro until I find something if it takes me clear to Patagonia and wear my leg off clear to my hips to get, there.

Through the efforts of Representa-
tive Bonynge portion of the Beecher
Island battlefield. in Yuma county.
Colorado. will be set aside by the gov
eminent for park purposes. This land,
on which there is now a wooden
monument, will be cared for by the
Beecher Island Battle and Memorial
Association. Trees have already been
planted on the site, and every effort
is being made to beautify the historic
ground on which General Forsyth and
his band of gallant scouts made their
determined and successful stand
against Roman Nose in 1868.
Unfortunately, however, the memo
rial association does not control the
entire battlefield. More than half the
historic island is owned by the state of
Colorado, and is leased for farming
purposes. A barb-wire fence extends
close to the spot where the gallant
Lieut.. Beecher fell, and where Roman
Nose was shot from his horse. Such n
condition of affairs reflects seriously
on the state of Colorado. The few
acres on the lower half OF the island
should be made over to the memorial
association. thus giving the public this
entire battlefield.
Beecher Island is the scene of the
most desperate fight in American his
tory. Cyrus Townsend Brady in a re-
cent article on the battle. places It
second to the Alamo as an exhibition
OF American pluck, coolness and skill.
But where the brave fighters of the
Alamo were eventually overcome and
slain. IL must be remembered that the
Beecher island fighters. though be-
leaguered for nine days on this little
island. with nearly 1000 savages sur
rounding them. and making repeated
charges. killed the leader of the op-
posing forces and helG out until rescue
arrived.
To many this battle-ground is OF
more interest than the Custer battle
ground. and there is no doubt that In
time to come Beecher island will be
visited by thousands Of Americans.
glad to look upon the place where such
heroism was displayed.
1t rests with the state Of Colorado
TO do all in its power to preserve this
battle-ground, where the bones of sew
eral of the Beecher island fighters
still rest. and whose story must thrill
Americans as long as pride in Ameri-
can heroism endures. At the earliest
opportunity the remainder OF this land
should be placed In the proper hands.

DEALERS 70 sE PROSECUTED
Colorado Labor Commissioner VIII
Enforce the Law In Regard to the
Sale Of convlct.Made ArtIeles.

Denver, April 30.-Labor Comm;s-
sioner Montgomery is getting evidence
20 prosecute business houses In Den
yer and the state which are violating
the law regulating the sale OF convict
made goods. During the past week he
has had several conferences with Is-
trict Attorney Iindsley. to whom he
has presented the evidence already
collected. A final conference will be
held between them Tuesday. after
which Mr. Montgomery expects To
formally file informations agnfnst the
alleged violating firms.
The prosecutions will be based on
section 10 Of this law. which reads as
follows:
when. upon complaint or otherwise.
the deputy labor commissioner has
reason to believe that this net In be-
ing violated. he shall advise the dis
trict attorney of the county in which
such alleged violation has occurred OF
the fact. giving the Information in
support OF his conclusions. and said
district attorney shall at once insti-
tute the proper legal proceedings to
compel compliance with the act Any
person offending against the provis;
ions of this act shall be guilty Of n,
misdemeanor. and. upon convictfon
thereof shall be sentenced to pay n
fine not exceeding ten hundred dollars
(s1 .000) and not less than fifty dollars
$500, or to be imprisoned for term
not exceeding twelve months and not
less than ten days. or both"
The act makes II unlawful for any
person or persons or corporation Ia
expose for sale within the state OF
Colorado, without first obtaining from
the secretary of state n license to sell
any convict-made goods, merchandise
or wares. Persons desiring to deal In
this class OF goods must give bond OF
81. 900 To the secretary of stnte and
pay an annual license fee OF $500. this
amount to be credited TO the main
tenance account OF the state prison.
The goods placed on sale must ba
properly tagged or branded as being
convict-made, and the name OF the
prison, reformatory or prnitentiary
must also be given.
This law has never yet been passed
upon. o-that the suits brought by Mr.,
Montgomery will serve as n test OF Its
validity.
For several months Mr. Montgomery
has been making an investigation into
alleged violations of this statute. He
has found that the violations consist
mostly In the sale OF whisk brooms
and cigars. These goods. he says.
have been purchased by Colorado mer-
chants at a reduced price from the
penitentiaries OF Kansas. Nebraska
and Missouri. and sold without labels
at regular prices.

National Organizer Assaulted.

Denver. May IA Republican spe-
cial from Salida last night says: W.
NJ. Wardjon. one of the national Or
ganizers of the United Mine Workers
OF America. was assaulted by three
men and beaten over the head with
guns at Sargents, Rio Grande sta
ton east of Gunnison, at $3.50 O'Clock
last evening. At 1890 O'Clock the Rio
Grande train carrying Wardjon
reached Salida and the wounded man
was taken to the railroad hospital
here and medical attention given him.
Wardjon's worst hurts consist of
cuts on the head. One scalp wound is
four inches in length. His face is also
cut and skinned, and parts Of his body
bruised.
Tonight the hospital doctors say
that Wardjon is resting easy and that
while his condition is serious, there is
no reason to fear for his life.
Wardjon says that he was attacked
by members OF Reno's detectives. and
that he recognized two of them as
Wolf and Waters. and thinks the third
man was Paul Gregory.
