State Tax Levy Increased Half Mill.

Columbia, February 1.-THE supply
bill, as reported to-day, carries levy OF
81 mills. This is an increase of ! mill
for general State purposes and the ways
and means committee regards this as
necessary to get the State i'll time on a
cash basis.
The levy is AZ mills for general State
purposes and l mill for pensions. Tho
committee figures that the expenses of
the State aggregate 81 ,225 900 and mills,
with the other sources of revenue, win
raise 81, 900. The additional ] mill
put in the supply bill this year will raise
$l05,0OO. This, with 100000 from the
franchise tax law, it is figured, will
allow surplus of $4,000 to 100000
with which the State may catch up and
get on cash basis.
The committee regards the increase of
mill in the general supply bill as neces-
sary, and has made it plain that mill is
necessary for pensions, $500, 900 being APP
propriated annually for that purpose.

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number, or over 5000 peo-
pie died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these cases
of pneumonia resulted from cold and
could have been prevented by tho time ely
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A
great many who had every reason to fear
pneumonia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance of this sort: "Too
much cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and especially
for colds and influenza. know that it
cured my daughter, Laura, of severe
cold, and l believe saved her life when
she was threatened with pneumonia"

working for the Factory.

The citizens of GIenwood Springs
are working earnestly to secure su-
gar factory for that place. The pro-
position seems to be meeting with
general support in that city and
county. Nearly half hundred
prominent business men met in Glen
wood Springs Wednesday and heard
what r. P. Dayie, manager of the
Grand Junction factory. had to say
regarding the proposed factory. Da-
vie made a trip through the county
and viewed the different sites OBJ
tainable.
Mr.. Davie is a good talker and
told the meeting plainly that he was
not in position at present to prom
Use them a factory. but that he would
exploit the field for them and that.
if the field proved a successful one
for the raising of sugar beets, there
would be no trouble in securing a
factory; mills were looking for new
locations in the irrigated districts;
that there were not over 60 places
in the United States where irrfga-
tion was carried on that a mill could
be placed. and that it would take
thirty new mills year to keep pace
with the increased demand for su-
gar and still import about so per
cent of the sugar used
Mr.. Davie says that the sugar in
dustry has come to stay, and that
tho only thipu Tho, ,ho ,,aa,.ta -,
fear is in being in too big hurry
He considers Glenwood Springs as
an ideal location for a sugar factory.
All the natural advantages are here
coal. coke, lime and water power.
He says the farmers are uible to
undertake too large acreage at fist
and make failure. which would dis
courage them later, while If they
begin on a smaller scale and make
success. and money. that the in
dustry will grow. He says that the
first requisite is that the farmer
must make money, if you expect him
to raise beets. Mr.. Davies agreed
to contract.
Major S. X. Hooper, general pas
senger and ticket agent of the Den
yer Rio Grande. addressed thu
meeting, stating that they had only
one factory on this line of road
the one at Grand Junction-and that
they wanted more and would put
a Glenwood Springs factory on as
good basis for freight rates i'll AID

gress made by those who have charge

selves to secure ten signatures each

primary the league proposes to hold,
to select candidates, will be made un-
til the desired three hundred sig
natures are secured.
For the coming city campaign the
league adopts the name of the law
enforcement party. 1t was declared
last night that the fight to be made
will not be ''no-license campaign"

The following resolutions. setting
forth the principles of the law en-
forcement party and the denial that
the campaign is "no-license" cam
paign, We're passed by an unanimous
vote at the meeting:
Resolved, That the law enforce
ment party stands for greater econ
omy in city administration and the
enforcement OF all existing ordi-
nances, or their repeal. if public SEN
timent will not warrant their en-
forcement.
Resolved. That this is not a no
license campaign. and that a per-
sons opinion on this question should
not be considered in nominating him

years. His acquaintance in Grand
