Looks sAo.

The tax payers Of this county
should not be misled In the present
county printing squabble. For the
newspaper scrap the public cares
nothing. The point with them is.
did the COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS knowingly agree to pay double
for the county printing. what they
might have purchased it for, of
equal quality, and II so, why and by
what right did they do it? And II
the county commissioners juggled
the peoples money in this deal, are
they in the habit Of doing other
things Of equal crookedness, in the
way of purchasing for the county?
The Tribune has gone on the
theory that the commissioners were
square and pretty fair business men
and that errors they made, II any.
were of Judgment only, such as any
person may occasionally be led into,
and for that reason has never been
inclined to jump all over them rougi,

with grievance. This present
deal, however, looks bad. There
seems no plausible excuse for IT

whatever. No explanation is forth
coming from Messrs. Wattenburg
and Devinney, who alone are respon-
slble. They had four bids, each a
responsible party, and each bidder
fully competent to do the work in a
satisfactory manner. The Eaton
Herald was the lowest and should
have had the work, as offering the
best deal for the county. If the
commissioners did not want the
work TO 60 to Eaton. they still had
the choice of the Tribune and the
Republican, either Of whose bids
would have saved the county many
hundreds of dollars.
In view of all the facts we can
find no reason for their act other
than an effort to pay their political
debts to the Sun out of the public
purse instead of their own. TIE
thinking citizen now wonders II this
is their first crooked deal, or If a
closer scrutiny of their past acts
might not disclose other cause for
censure.

MORE SIDEWALK TALK.

Just now that there is much talk
of civic improvement in Greeley
there is little simple rule that
could easily be followed and that
would help wonderfully in making
this thing reality. When people
build sidewalks, whether in the
residence or business section, they
have been in the habit Of employing
, happy. go-lucky style as regards
grade.
You may walk along q nice cement
or stone side walk in front Of lot,
and then, all of q sudden, drop down
four or six inches on the next man. g
sidewalk, which may be jus. as good
in every other respect as the first
mentioned, except that it is not on
grade.
Now request of the street super
visor that he furnish the grade fol
the new sidewalk will bring the city
engineer to your place, who will tell
you just how high to make your walk
70 make 1t conform to other walks
that either may be down or will be
later on in your neighborhood.
Eventually whom all places have
sidewalks they will all be laid the
same and look like one continuous
walk.

Bring Out Your Bunting.

Merchants OF the city should look
over their stock of decorating goods
for the G. A. r., as there III Den
yer concern that is anxious to come

such goods. If tie mercha uts here

the goods there is no time to Se lost
in bringing these to public view, as

The Local Band and its Support.

Very few townspeople know or
realize what 1t means In the way OF
expense and hard work to have and
maintain good band. Good wishes
are very essential and fully appre-
ciated by all band members, but they
do not pay running expenses. When
the goed wishes are accompanied by
financial support then there Is no
question Of their sincerity.
The writer has been asked many
times, Are we going to have band
concerts this summer In the city
park?" The answer has been the
same to all inquiries, mo, unless
the band is paid for its services.
what does it cost year to main
tain band such as you can produce
here in Greeley?" The actual cost
at very low conservative estimate
cannot be less than $1,000 per year,
which includes the directors salary,
new music, rent Of band room, heat,
light. occasionally a new instrument,
(Which we need badly repairs on In
struments and uniforms and other
incidental expenses. What Is 1t
worth for one concert a week."
mot less than $5O."
The local band Is composed OF men
interested in music: in fact, men
who love music, their sole object be-
ing to improve themselves and later
on, IL successful, to provide this city
with a musical organization that
will add to its attractiveness by CIV
ing free public concerts during the
summer season. So you see the pub
lies best wishes are not sufficient
remuneration for services thus rend-
cred. 1t should contribute finan-
cially, in one way or another, to the
support of SO laudable an enterprise.
The personnel Of the Greeley band
is composed of your best business
men and representatives of several
trades, men Of good standing In the
city who devote much of their time
in rehearsals preparing suitable and
attractive programs OF music with
which to entertain their fellow citi-
zens, and they feel justified in ex-
pecting their townsmen to assist tn
the maintenance of the band, since
the only remuneration received by
the members, except from an occa-
sional engagement, is their personal
pleasure in the study and knowledge
Of music.
A first-class band advertises a city
or town, not only provides pleasing
entertainment for the genreal public
at its concerts, but adds much to
the education OF the community. 1t
brings business into town from
which the town benefits directly and
indirectly. Our neighboring towns,
Eaton, Fort Collins, Windsor, Love-
land, Longmont and others support
their organizations and are proud of
them, why not Greeley?

THE words square deal simply
means the golden rule. There is
only one way to apply the square
deal. Treat the other fellow as you
would like to have him treat you.

should be everybody's doctrine. -
Greeley Sun.
Will the Sun please tell us how to
reconcile this doctrine with its own
part in the county printing deal?

1t is to be supposed that by the
polish the Sun will get from that

missioners, it will be able to glori-
ously illuminate the way for Fritz
wattenburg's retirement to private

sELLs-FLoTo SHOWS, "THE
CIRCUS BEAUTIFUL"
The Circus Performance is Ex-
ceptionally Fine and Full of
Interest to all Lovers
of the Ring

"Sayory,' famous California
writer, says:
''The fact that over 1000 people
attended the Sells-Floto shows
proves that the ancient love for the
circus still exists. 1t Is born In our
very flesh and blood. In youth it
thrilled us and in our middle age it
is our comfort and solace. The
smell of the .sawdust is as fragrant
today as it was in the early morn Of
our lives. when the circus was
heaven and the smiling, beskirted,
bespangled. adorable creature in blue
tights was its particular angel who
filled our thoughts by day and our
dreams by night.
ut Is wall that this is so. When
the man no longer loves the circus
he has arrived at the lean andHlip-
pered age, where he fain must crouch
before the fire to warm his thin
blood and muse over the days that
are gone. The first sign Of old age
is when we lose our love for the cir
Gus.
1.-THE performance is exceptionally
fine and full of interest to all lovers
of the ring. Nearly everything is
entirely new, and what is mot is
managed and brought out under such
new methods and system that every
act is refreshing and pleasing. The
Sells -Floto shows seem not willing
to simply pursue business on anti
que methods, but to advance the
show business to more genteel and
refined lines. All yulgarities and
ancient impoliteness, In and out of
the rings, have been eliminated and
the show will meet with unbounded
favor wherever it goes this year.
We say this in all sincerity. Great
improvements are noticeable, espe-
cially to US old fellows who have at
tended every circus for more than
fifty years that has come along. No
gentleman or lady, no matter how
moral or religious the calling they
pursue, nor what refined circle they
move in, need hesitate to attend the
show nor be certain of anything but
refined pleasure, free from anything
that disgusts or casts shadow Of
contempt. This Is as 1t should be,
and we predict greater future for
this show on these lines than they
have ever enjoyed.
There is nothing that recalls a
mans boyhood days more vividly
than circus. 1t Is q urite saying
that many fathers are mighty glad
that the taking of their children
gives them an excuse to attend al
the circuses that come to the city,
but have established themselves as 4
necessity. They are one Of the most
pleasing there are lot Of men who
are not ashamed Of the fact that they
are merely boys grown up and so to
the clrcuses because they enjoy
them.'
The Sells Floto shows are coming
to Greeley on "Wednesday, June l3.

Presumably the reason that the
Sun took nearly two weeks In which
to reply to the Tribune on the

MeGRAw, THE FERRET.

John It. McGraw's desire to get at
a big cheese is well summed up in
the following from the Pittsburg
Gazette-Times.
with the nomination of the
strongest man in the Republican
party of the Second West Virginia
district for Congress, the Hon.
George G. Sturgiss of MonOngalia
county, the Democrats of that sec
ton have been looking around with
a dark lantern to find an available
man to oppose him. Col. Thomas
b. Davis, who was the Democratic
accident at the special election to
choose a successor to Congressman
Dayton, who was elevated to the
united district bench to succeed
Judge Jackson, has had enough OF
it, and, putting a tighter bung in his
barrel, which was pretty well sluiced,
viii have no more of it. He has not
onl peremptorily declined to finance
another try for the place, but has n
directly declared his sympathy with
Mr.. Sturgiss' cause.
With this hope gone that politica!
ferret, the Hon. John T.. McGraw OF
Grafton. was started out, and is said
to have not only holed the brother OF
Col. Thomas, but dragged out OF his
temporary seclusion our ancient
friend, Uncle Henry Gassaway Da-
Wis, the copartner of Judge Alton b.
Parker in the late Democratic con-
spiraoy to fool the nation by soft
words and misleading promises,
acting from him a sandbag pledge to
run Of nominated" 1t is said that
eTJncle" Gassaway has fallen under
the spell of the Taylor county ferret
and will emerge from the evening
shadows of a~rpeaceful and honorable
life that are closing around him into
Inc broad glare of another political
diversion, just to let the people know
that the "well preserved old man Is
still alive.
It has been said that there is no
fool like an old fool, but "Uncle"
Gassaway, in spite Of his age, has
none of the failings that fit men for
inmates of imbecile asylums, and we
credit the report from West Virginia
dict he has concluded to measure
lances with Mr.. StuEgiss ~ one OF
those vaearies that t constantly
arising in the minds of the afflicted
second district of the Mountain
State. There cannot be any doubt
IF the scarecrow element OF this idea,
since It emanantes from the Deer
park bureau of the Taylor county
ferret, where he, a few weeks ago,
gained some publicity OF a waning
5otoriety by wrestling with District
Attorney Jerome on "the sward IN
front Of his COTTAGE" resulting in a
tvisted ankle. If the ferret shal
succeed in wrestling a nomination

Year. Assessment. Rate. Taxes.
1904 100000 $3.50 $4,000
1906 100000 .69A 69,5oo
Difference favor 1907: .$14,5o0
The figures above are in round
numbers as to the assessment. ANY
one can do the figuring and will have
the same results. These are cold,
matter of fact, figures, but full of
beauty to the taxpayer. They show
a largely reduced taxation, and h
tax tickets themselves, which the
Democrats, who are opposed to lower
and equal taxation, have been telling
the public to watch, will show that
the great majority of the peoples
taxes has been reduced, and that
equalization of taxation has been
brought about. ,,,
The $3.50 rate represents the total
rate paid in 1904, covering city
county. state and school tax, in the
city. The 69% cent rate is the total
to be paid on the hundred dollars
valuation this year in the city. One
realty owner complained after h as
sessment was made that his taxes
would be higher this year than IN
1904. His property was then assess
ed at about $4,000, and now it Is as
sessed Mt about $4,000. He paid in
1904, under the old laws, at h
$3.50 rate a total tax of 1882. Now
at the G91a cent rate under the new
laws 1928. Take the latter from the
former and you have $24 saved o
him this year. This is but a single
instance. There are other just as
good object lessons of the benefit OF
the new laws to the people, which
will be gwen later.
