THE REAL REASON.

Mr.. Mccall says that he thanks
God that by contributing to the
republican party he helped to
save the country from Free Silver.
If the testimony proves anything
it proves that the insurance
magnates were more afraid OF
criminal prosecution than they
were of Free Silver. They knew
they were guilty of fraud, brib-

of politics and misuse of trust
funds and they felt safer under a

SHOULD BE RAISED.

AS matter OF plain justice the
Safe Board of Equalization ought
to increase the assessed valuation
of the Colorado railroads at least
$1O,000,OOO.
Even with this increase of 70
per cent the railroad assessment
would still be on a lower basis of
valuation than private property
throughout the state.--Denver
Republican.
The newspaper., 1905-10-06

THE railroads of the state are
claiming before the state board
of equalization that they are as
sessed beyond their due and that
they pay most of the taxes in
some counties. That they pay a
large percentage in some of the
counties is true, but it is also true
that they are the most valuable
assets in such counties. The gov
ernment census bureau in its
latest bulletin fixes the value of
the railroad property at, in round
numbers, $19S,000,000. The Colo
RADIO assessment is practically
S50,000,000, or % per cent. The
truth is that the county assessors
generally figure the valuations of
real and personal property at 40
per cent, and the railroad taxes
in the state are at least $10,000,-
600 under what they should be-

COLORADO'S DISGRACE

Under the above heading, the
Grand County Advocate Rep.
says:
Did you ever stop to think OF
the disgrace and reProach that
lies in the oft repeated remark;
No use, the gang have fixed the
slate and it goes This govern
ment was founded on the belief
that if the people could be free
and each a sharer in deciding
what men should hold office, and
what laws should be passed-the
people would uphold the same
with their lives. For the past
week Denver has been crowded
with men who preserved the
Union, but how many of them
would fall in line with the pres
ent policy that the affairs of the
state is being conducted? Look
over the disreputable gang OF
grafters and shysters that now
control the state The Advocate
has lived in Colorado for the past
twenty-five years, but in all that
time has never witnessed such
barefaced acts of outlawry. The
citizens of Colorado have about as
much to do with the way the state
is conducted as the peasants of
Russia have to do with the White
Gar This will have to stop
sometime, and why is not the
present just as good time as any ?
Let's shake this tyranny off and
make Colorado an American
state? 1t would drive the graf
tiers out of business and put the
people in power. 1t was ten
years ago that 'Blood-to-the-
Brides Waite put crimp into
the present gang, and at this
time it looks as it the dose should
be repeated. There is no use OF
giving them another trial, the
time is ripe to organize and down
the entire outfit, it can be done.
Again we say, let's make Colorado
a Union state"

NO REMEDY WHATEVER.

Legislature -SnOulu 90 IS 10 Iult
the lobbyists off the floor. If it
is necessary for our lawmakers
to have an advisory board well
supplied with an entertainment
fund, let the voters select its
members, not those who are in
terested in defeating needed
legislation. Lobbyists are pest,
and it is a discredit to the state
that they are permitted to enjoy
the privileges of the floor of the
Acknowledgements City Iris.
At the first thought this appears
the proper thing to do but on ex-
animation it will be found to be
no remedy whatever, absolutely
impossible of enforcement and
wrong in principle.
To begin with it is we'll to con-
slider what a lobbyist is. AS a
matter of fact lobbying is legit-
innate in many cases. The people
have the right to meet and dis
cuss proposed legislation with
their representatives. They
ought to be permitted SO to do.
We are we'll aware of the abuse
of the lobbying prerogative, but
the abuse is one that can not be
stopped. If man or woman is
interested in proposed legislation
they will manage to see the rep
resentatives and senators in
whose hands the fate of the
measure lies. If they cannot see
them in the state house they will
seek them in their hotels and
other resorts. To effectually
stop lobbying would be wrong.
Take measure that Interests the
people of locality. They desire
to present argument to those
members who are not so well
posted on the question. Who is
there that would desire to pro
hibit them from SO doing?
Again take the case of measure
like the Dungan-Alexander rail-
road bill in the last session. The
railroads desired to present to the
members their reasons for wish
ing the bill defeated Personally
we wanted It to pass, but all
parties in interest had the right
to a hearing. 1t is only when
corrupt means are used that the
people have the right to censure
the lobbyist.
And we stand ready to admit
that corruption generally shows
its head whenever the proposed
measure is of great importance.
Still there is no remedy that is
effective except an incorruptible
Legislature. Corrupt proposals
are as certain as fate, bat man
who cannot turn down a prop
osition to sell out his con-
stituency will be found by
the lobbyist no matter how
high a fence you build around
the state house.
Another remedy that would
be effective and salutary, as well
as cheap, would be to have a
vigilance committee go to the
state house on the occasion of
Just such infamies as were per-
petrated there last winter, and
hang about one dozen corruption
lists together with their (dis)
Honorable associates out of the
capitol windows. The sight of
couple of dozen swinging corpses
of men who spend the winter de-
bauching legislature would be
the greatest purifier that could be
imagined. 1t is a remedy that
