IL is hardly probable that the re-
suit of the official investigation will
be known before the Democratic
county campaign opens in a few
days.
The candidates have arranged to
speak all over the county, and there
are to be some hot talks. If advance
indications count for aught.
1t is claimed that the present mud
die has changed the status of more
than one race for county nominations
and every candidate seems to be TAX

candidadcy.
The accountants are at present
working on the sheriff's tax books,
and hoped to get through with the

will be compared.
The methods employed are SIM
Pile. The accountants make out
correct computation from the asses
sor's books and when this is finished
compare the correct amount of taxes
due with what was collected by the
sheriff. and if any mistake has been
made it can be put down opposite the
tax payers name.
Inspector Hines has taken charge
of all receipts and books and al
though there are rumors and reports
out relative to results, he gives out
none officially.
County Judge Lightfoot stated
this afternoon that he had at Inspec-
tor Hines request turned over to him
all the tax receipts left at his, Judge
Lightfoot's, Office, and that Inspect
or Hines has pledged himself to see
that they are promptly returned as
soon as he has finished with them.
Since the arrival of State Inspec-
tor Henry Hines, the real purpose of
mis- visit has been generally twisted,

him to Paducah, while others allege
that it Is due to them, but the truth
of the matter is Mr.. Hines was sent
out by Gov Beckham to inspect not

that the act should have provided for
the privilege Of allowing springs and

now required by the regulation of the

be kept for the free use OF range stock.
"The provision would lead to the
preservation of much stock water. and
in the opinion of your memorialists

COLORADO LEGISLATURE:
Auainst Land Law Repeal.

Senator Taylor presented the follow.
ing memorial to Congress, protesting
against the repeal of the desert land
laws:
Your memorialist. the Fifteenth
General Assembly of the state of Colo.
RADIO, respectfully represents to your
honorable body that;
Whereas, There is now pending be-
fore the Congress- of the United States
bill providing for the repeal of all
existing desert land laws and,
Whereas, 1t is confidently believed
that the campaign for such repeal Is
being conducted largely in the inter.
ests Of the land grant railroads for
the purpose Of excluding from settle
ment all lands other than railroad
lands; and,
Whereas, The present desert land
laws facilitate the requirement Of
homes by certain of our citizens by
reclaiming and developing numerous
small intermOuntain valleys that can
not be reclaimed under any other law;
and,
Whereas The federal land laws
nows now on our statute books have
been of great benefit in the develop.
ment of this state and have operated
satisfactorIy wherever their provis-
ions have been carried out in good
faith; and,
Whereas We believe that any
change in the present desert land laws
of the Ur,ed States would be detri-
mental f he great intermountain re-
gion and would especially retard the
development of our state; therefore,
be 1t
Resolved, That we earnestly protest
against the passage of said bin and
against any interference at this time
with the desert land laws of the
United States. And, further. we di
rect that certified copy of this mem
orial be forthwith sent to our senators
and representatives in Congress"
