School Column.

The total enrolment to date is
AIT this includes all the schools
in the district.
The banner room in the district
during the past month was MISS
Keeney's, the south room OF the
Hoosier Building. This room had
no cases of tardiness and an
attendance upon the enrolment
of SO per cent.
The first primary pupils in the
central building gave their hrst
program Friday afternoon. Oct. 90.
Several visitors we're present and
expressed themselves as pleased.
The report cards were issued
Monday evening OF this week for
all schools except the Bethlehem
Building and the cards for this
building were issued Tuesday
evening. The various teachers
have graded pretty close this
month. The second months card
will come nearer showing the true
standing of the pupil.
The second consignment OF

ing has been put up and the fifth
grade pupils are now in position
to do excellent work.

the new electric light ordinance
fixing rates. Our readers will do
we'll to study it and thus get an
idea as to what is coming The
city officials are having some
trouble over the new rates as under
the private ownership variety of
rates were charged. This of course
the city cannot follow. The rates
as now established are much lower
than the old Beezley published
rate, but in several instances are
considerably higher than the rates
he charged. The city officers are
not to blame as some consumers
seem to think. The town must
treat everybody alike. They can
not play favorites.

ONE of the campaign canards
that has been industriously cir
culated is that Judge Stevens is
frequently reversed by the su-
preme court. Mesa county is gen
orally named by papers not pub
lished there as one of the start
ling examples. We have looked
that matter up and are informed
that out of $50 cases determined
by Judge Stevens there, but tour
have been reversed on review by
a higher court. 1t strikes us this
is very fair record.

SENATOR DELoNG spoke as fol-
lows regarding stealing Gov. Ad-
ans seat. Read and compare
with his later remarks:
"All the pressure has been
brought to bear, the power of
wealth and personal influence has
barely been able to persuade
some of US that we ought to vote
for Mr.. Peabody. When we get out
from under all this hypnotic con-
dition, we will find an entirely
different proposition confronting
US. Let me say to those who are
so loud in saying today that Gov
ernor Peabody must be seated, it
will not be thirty days before you
are blanching before honest con
stituents in trying to explain how
you took this position on the floor
of this body. Because of the un-
Just and unfair methods, because
Mr.. Peabody has directly failed
to prove his case and his right
to be seated as governor OF this
state, l, for one, shall vote against
this report"

ONE thing that comes up in this

ONE thing that comes up in this
election should receive the unan-
imous Endorsement of the peo-
pie. That is the constitutional
amendment permitting the use of
voting machines. Their adoption
will forever settle the danger of a
f1imham in the count of ballots
cast. The machine will not only
pay for itself but will protect the
voter in a secret ballot and will
guarantee that his vote is counted.
BY all means vote for the amend

party and the liberal contributions

party and the liberal contributions
tor campaign expenses that were
levied from them.
In effect the "tax agents were
told by the republican committee
to go ahead and decide what they
wanted. When they were ready
to present their demands the COM
mittee would see to it that the
"cuts" were made by the duly con-
stituted state board.
On Sept. 20, at secret meeting
the state board of equalizationt took
up the several communications
of the railroad and trust corpora
tions doing business in the state.
The session OF the board was
brief. The work was already out
lined for the members and they
went to it with dispatch and
certainty.
When the board adjo urned the
taxable property the state was
reduced $712,392, rather, large
amount of business to transact IN
an hours session.
1t must not be supposed that
the contribution OF Rev. Buchtel' S
train party" is the only offering
made by the favored corporations
to the party which secured re
duction of nearly Sl,0OO,OOO in
their assessments.
The few thousand dollars out
lay required for the train party
is but a drop in the bucket, both
to the giver and the receiver. In
paying the assessment TO tn emem-
bers of the executive committee
the tax agent" is again utilized.
He must have the distinction of
being the man who handles The
money or his Pretensions before
the board of equalization which
is called upon to give him back
five or ten for one will be OF no
avail.
Does the acceptance of railroad
assistance by Rev. Buchtel explain
the position he took in answering
editor l. N. Stevens queries re-
garding his attitudes on legisla-
ton for a railway commission
bill?
1t will be remembered that in
his letter to Stevens Rev. Buchtel
suggested that the shippers of the
state and the railroad representa-,
tives get together in a nice little
family party and frame up some
thing that would be acceptable to
both.
Will Alfred +. Bent, state au-
ditor and member of the state
board of equalization, explain TO
the assembled populace why at
secret meeting he voted for a
return to the railroads of $1,000,

opCHCo.
Below we print a list OF the
pupils in the district neither
absent nor tardy for the month
closing Oct. 26. 1t means more
than we ordinarily think for a
pupil to be present every day on
time. 1t means that the pupil is
punctual and regular in his habits
and that he values an education.
1t means that the parent watches
carefully over the child's health,
keeps the family time piece on
time and prepares the meals
punctually. A home that sends
its children to school every day on
time for a month is to be con-
graduated. 1t is valuable part of
an education to live in such a
home and the pupils who come
from such homes are usually our
best scholars.

REPUBLICANS TOURING STATE.
Reduction of Taxes Of Corporate Inter-
ests at a Secret Meeting of Board.

AT the meeting OF the state
board of equalization on June 10th
the total assessment of railroad,
express car, telephone and tele-
graph companies was fixed at
s52, ,O93,666.
The republican campaign COM
mittee demanded large contribu-
tions from these companies. The
situation for republican success
was desperate in the extreme.
Signs from every county in the
state indicated humiliating failure.
In such an extremity the party
managers determined to resort
again to the use of money to cor
rupt the entire state.
The big corporations were ac-
quainted with conditions. The
democracy had gone on record
against the corporations. The
republican party had remained
steadfast to its platform, and
candidates for office to its corpora
ton friends. Money must be put
in the purse of the committee.
The corporations were willing
to contribute the funds, but the
money must come from the state.
The state board of equalization,
composed of Governor Mcdonald,
Secretary of State Cowie, Attorney
General Miller, Auditor Bent and
Treasurer Holmberg, were called
together at special meeting on
September Doth and the program
spread before them. They went
to it and when the meeting ad-
iourned the assessments had been
cut S7l2, 392.
The meeting was held three
weeks ago. Last Tuesday the Rev.
Buchtel train party" started out
in special composed of Pullman
cars and comissary to make a
swing around Western Colorado.
Here are the reductions made
for the several corporations:

THE MACHINIST.
His Work Ranges From a Needle tC
q Battleship.


'There is, perhaps, no other trade
and very few professions" writes Will
liam Haddow in the Technical World
Magazine, chat require the high order
of intelligence, the study, the applica-
ton. the real hard headed common
sense, the surgeons delicacy of touch,
for instance, in fitting of fine work,
that the machinist's trade demands to
give the excellent work and the inter
changeability Of parts found in the
modern rifle or sewing machine. The
range of his work is from needle to
a battleship; from automatic machln-
cry that would talk French had it one
more movement to measuring ma
chimes guaranteed not to vary more
than the fifty-thousandth part OF an
inch from the absolute. This precision
will perhaps be better appreciated when
it is remembered that 100 times TINS
limit of variation is only equal to the
diameter of the average human hair.
Standard plug and ring gauges, to take
a specific example, are so accurately
fitted to each other than the expansion
due to the warmth of the hand, If the
plug be held in it for a few moments
will make it impossible to insert the
plug in the ring, while if the ring be
expanded in the same way the pug
will drop clear through it.
"When the machinist has become
skillful enough to fulfill the above re-
ouirements he may receive from $2.9o
ner day up to whatever he can make
himself worth and prove it"
