Through decision rendered by
Judge Carpenter in the District Court
at Denver in the corporation license
tax case against the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company that corpor-
alton has no standing in the courts OF
the state and can not invoke their aid
to enforce its contracts. In announc-
ing his decision Judge Carpenter said:

state commerce l presume 1t has
right to go ahead But the state. I'M
til it's legal demands are satisfied is
not bound to extend any protection to
enforce its contracts in any court. AS
| understand. that is all that is meant
by this judgment of custer. And it
is open at any time to the corporation

has lost by the payment of the taxes.
That is the law Whenever they see
fit to pay this tax with certain pen

The Colorado Promotion and Publici-
ty Committee is an organization backed
by the leading business men of the
state and is formed for the purpose OF
advertising the resources of the entire
state of Colorado. No particular city
of territory is to be favored, but every
county in the state is to be represented

the committee to aid the various cities

made TO secure conventions for Colo

cial advertising bureau for the entire
state. The personnel of the committee

One of the most noticeable features of
the records in the state engineers Of
flee during the last six months is the
large number of filings that have been
made on water for power purposes.
They are greatly in excess of the fl
ings madee for irrigation purposes. The
conclusion which is drawn from this
condition of affairs is that a great deal
of money is being spent in Colorado at
this time in enterprises having to do
with the development of power from
water. Not only are power companies
fling on water not already appropri-
ated for power purposes, but some OF
the larger corporations are offering
fancy figures for the use of water al
ready appropriated for other purposes,
in the development of power enter
prises. 1t is stated on reliable authori-
ty that the city of Colorado Springs has
been Offered $3.000.000 for its water sys-
