FOR TAXPAYERS

Last Friday the county commits
sioners met at Conejos and made
the tax levy for the ensuing year,
cutting the county levy from
thirty mills which has been the
rate for many years-to twenty
two mills, little better than
twenty. six per cent of the county
tax.
While this will be most welcome
news to the taxpayers throughout
the county, it will cause many a
pang of regret in the hearts of a
number of independents who had
hoped that the elective lightning
might strike in their midst and
thus enable them to claim the glory
and fruits of the economical and
efficient administration of county
affairs given the people by the
present officials.
This reduction in taxes was
made possible only by reason of
Fred Warshauer paying in full the
Brickenstein shortage and the able
and pusineas-like methods of our
county officials.
And yet there were those who
declined to give credit where cred
it is due.

A Suggestion

Nearly everyone expects to re-
member friends or relatives at
Christmas time and the large ma
jority of people put off the selec-
ton Of the presents they intend to
buy until the eleventh hour. Some
put off because they haven't the
money to spare and some because
they hope to get bargains at the
last minute There is positively
no advantage in this method. The
early buyer has a complete assort-
ment to select from, while the late
buyer has to take what is left and
perhaps the very thing he wanted
is gone.
Any dealer will sell his staple
Christmas goods to-day just as
cheap as the day before Christmas.
We have arranged ample space
in our store for marking and put
ting away Christmas goods until
called for. We are now putting
our holiday goods on display
Make your selections early and
let us put them aside for you.
Next week we will tell you more
about it.
Respectfully

CHICAGO. April 9-Mild, spr1nglike
weather existed today while the voting for
municipal ownership was in progress. The
election has been one Of the most exciting
campaigns OF minor nature that Chicago
has ever known. No candidates are being
voted for except aldermen. but the ques-
tions involved In their selection are held so
important by the voters that there is every
Indication of a very heavy vote being east.
The chief questions up for settlement are
whether or not the city of Chicago shall
proceed to operate the street railways, and
whether s75 100000 Of street car certificates
shall be issued for the purchase of the
street car companies.
Tho question of high or low license for
saloons has also evoked much feeling on
both sides. and IN a number of the wards
has overshadowed the question of munich
pal ownership. :
The city council recently passed an ordi-
nance placing the license fee at 81 900. and
the liquor interests haXe made strong
fight against every alderman who Is up for
reelection who voted for the measure.
Heavy Vote Registered.
A heavy vote was registered early IN the
day, and 1t is believed that the result viii
