purpose is plain. Should the su'
preme court decide that the raise Of
the territorial board shall be add
ed, they expect toplead previous
payment. This looks like these
monster companies are interested
in tho little fellow and not in their
own case, dosen't III They are
not willing to submit their case to
a court of justice, but are taking
advantage Of every dodge possible
TO keep the matter from being in
vestigated., They know what their
properties are worth, know that
even with the raise added they are
under assessed und that an inquiry
before an intelligent court would
reveal this fact. We should think
the action of these two companies
would make the few corporation
hirelings, who are discovered oc.
casionally, and who have been so
loud mouthed, in condemning the
officers who had the nerve to as
sess these companies, hang their
heads in shame, If it was q mat
ter of injustice to these companies,
they would bo only too glad to
submit the matter to judicial in
quiry. These companies advo-
Gates should have kept them better
posted. They paid their money
into the treasury just before the
supreme court met last week; bad
they been kept properly informed
they could have kept this money
until November 10th, the day be-
fore the supreme court will meet
to bear the'tax suits. The receipt
as issued by the treasurer shows
that the tax paid is simply in full
on the amount of property as so
far levied on by the county board,
fixing it SO that their little ruse
will avail them nothing when the
case reaches court,

DOES 1T PAY7

According to notice published
in another column, the Durango
Daily Telegraph plant is to be
sold on the goth of this month
under chattel mortgage. The Her
aid regrets the foreclosure of any
legitimate business. but In this
case the question is: Has the
Telegraph been a legitimate enter
prise?' Durango is altogether too
small place for three daily news
papers and the sheet in question
should never have been started
and has simply been a drain on
the business interests to no good
purpose. True, the management
of the Durango Democrat invited
opposition by its uncalled for and
dirty attacks on some OF our cit
liens and the town. but the proper
remedy waso curtailment of pat
ronage and ignoring tne back
capper. The fight of the opposi-
ton sheet, however. has had the
effect of driving patronage to the
Democrat, directly opposite TO
what was expected. And then
look at the cost to the communi-
ty The Telegraph has cost the
business interests OF Durango
probably $4,000 the past three
years, 100000 in way of business
conferred without any benefits
and In the neigbborhood of $l0,-
900 Indebtedness, secured and un-
secured.
In one sense the squandering OF
the above sum is none of our
business and again it is, and of
the general public in this way
the aid money added to The Her
aid, or any legitimate newspaper,
would have enabled the publica-
tion Of an elght.paged sheet, with
live reporters traversing the trib-
utary sections, keeping the coun-
try to the front in every issue,
double the amount Of telegraphic
news fresh from the wires and
advertising Durango as the most
energetic and enterprising city in
the land, as no agency is more po-
tent for the advancement OF a
community than well patronized
up-to-date newspaper. A news
paper should be a reflex of the
community In which II is publish
ed. The $4,000 TO $4,000 referred
to above would not have gone into
the pockets of The Herald man
agement but into the pockets of
worltmen engaged In sending out
a paper unequaled in the world
for the size of the town. And,
coming down TO brass tacks. The
Herald invites comparison with
any paper published in the land
for the size of the town.
The Herald is simply reviewing
the newspaper situation TO show
the ill-effects Of trying to force a
publication on an unwilling people
and thus depriving legitimate en-
terprises of forging to the front.
