COLE GIVES VIEWS
ABOUT STATE LANDS
Republican Candidate for Governor
Favors the Passage of Broad Con.
stitutionai Amendment Regarding
Taxation.

Hon. A L. Cole in a recent address
discussed the question of taxation and
made a plain statement of his views
on that subject. He said:
ION the tax question have decided
views. The state has developed 10 a
point where the expenditures for gov
ernmental purposes has reached an
enormous figure. In 1906 more than
So 200, 900 was taken by direct taxa
ton from the earnings of our people
and spent to run the various depart
ments of our state and municipal adj
ministration. When we realize that
this sum does not include special local
improvement assessments, licenses OF
all kinds, nor the gross earnings tax
Of railroads, insurance companies,
telegraph and telephone companies
and the like, nor the states income
from its own investments, We must be
convinced that this is one Of the very
important subjects which is nov be-
fore our citizens for consideration.
"A large part of our public eXpendi-
lures is for objects as to which it is
the states policy TO exercise liberal
ity. More than 20 per cent Of the
total spent goes in one shape or an
other for the cause Of popular educa-
ton. Our people believe in good
schools and approve of their mainte-
nance and Improvement. l think in
other directions there is room for
economy, and pledge myself, If elect
ed. to investigate thoroughly every
avenue of possible waste and eXtray-
agance. and TO use my influence to re-
duce and limit OUTLAWS wherever this
can be done without prejudice to ef-
fcient service. But the burden will
be heavy, Notwithstanding all that
can be done in this way, unless We
improve our methods of taxation.
I'VE have now in operation sys-
TEN which came into existence when
business conditions were much differ
ent from what they are at present.
New forms of wealth have been Great
ed and accommodations are held IL such
shapes which were then unknown, and
which our laws contain no provision
for reaching. The result is that prop
| erty Of one sort is oyeTtaZed, and prop
erty of another sort escapes entirely.
For these reasons I am il favor Of the
| proposed tax amendment to the state
constitution, which is TO be voted on
at the coming election. If adopted
| it will enlarge the powers OF the legis-
| Iature very materially and make II
| possible TO enact a revenue law II
harmony with scientific thought On the
| subject, and which will more equitably
| meet the social and economic cOndi
| tons existing at the present day. L
we got no further the first year after
| its adoption than 10 rid ourselves OF
direct taxes for state purposes, leay
ing this source free for the use Of ouI
subordinate political subdivisions, We
| should have made substantial progress
| over what we are able to do under ouI
| Dreseut constitutional provisions.

CURING DULLES.
How Two Unruly Boys Were Famed b,
Their Teachers.

Their Tearilers.
A bad case of bully u : was cured by a
kindergarten teacher after the following
fashion:
demonstrating with him and keeping
him in at recess made no impression. One
day in the yard he pommelled a little fell
low who did not obey his rough commands,
ending by biting the child in the cheek.
l was tempted to serve him in the same
way, or at least to Hinfiict some pain on him,
but 1 decided on another plan, which worked
like a charm.
After the children were assembled I
fenced Paul of with chairs in a corner OF
the room, then l tied a rope around his
body under the arms and fastened it TO a
hook in the wall. / fastened a sign TO ono
OF the chairs: Beware, the tiger bites
and warned the children not to go near
After three days of isolation my tiger was
tanned"
And here, on the other side, is the way a
vacation school teacher handled her case
Of bully:
1T was a far cry from the innocents
Of my kindergarten group to these poor
Migrants of ten or twelve from the city
slums. One sullen faced. black browed
bOy gave ~ al II JIOuDlc uS COuIu pan

Il told him he could not go with US on
our excursion the next day unless he could
do better presented the reasonable social
ideall. Then When he came the next morning
l relented; how could / keep that poor
starved little soul from getting a glimpse
Of Gods sky, and green, growing thingsP
Well, l cam Judge as to how much of Gods
sky he saw, but he killed every living thing
he could crush or break, hurt the other
children, disobeyed every regulation and
drove his various caretakers TO the verge
of distraction. All methods seemed u~navail-
ing.
"on the way home in the train he threw
pebbles at us, cracked open live snails TO
see us shudder and finally / tied his hands
securely, as my last attempt at rational
methods. He looked me in the eye and said,
When l git 'em loose I'll smash your
glasses into your eyes
Il didn't like the job, but | conclud ed
that the only method Of reaching his under
standing was by force. He didn't half
believe ! was his equal.
sc l dragged him to the dressing room,
locked the door and delivered to him the
soundest and most thorough whipping of
which my strength wal capable. / took
into that room a little imp of darkness,
and / brought back a little angel"

behind the head in the way In which we
always handle dangerous snakes, placed
him in a tumbler and fastened a piece Of
cheesecloth down over the top.
THE minute Mr.. Lance-Head felt my
stick he began to show fight, n before he
was safely secured he had thrown open
his mouth. disclosing three big fangs. He
continued to show his anger by biting
through the cheesecloth, his venom re-
manning on the bit Of cloth instead OF reach
ing his victim, az he expected it to do. This
is one OF the objects in stretching il across
the top OF the tumbler, to enable US to COLI
lect some OF the snakes secretion and
analyze 1t il we wish to.
In the present instance the fer de lance
deposited on the cheeeecloth within a few
minutes between eight and ten drops Of
venom, enough to kill four men. The
poor mother almost tainted when she heard
of the danger they had all run.
This snake was about three and a half
feet long. Its body was a pale green,
with the little red circles about it TO which
the girl had sdmiringly drawn my atten-
ton. 1t bad a villainous fat g and over
each eye was a small hornlike spine.
Il should have thought that the shape
OF the head would be enough to a the
husband and father in the case suspicious,
not to mention the red circles and the spines
which are rather exceptional. But he had
no technical knowledge of snakes

Municipal Street Railway.

Monroe, Iowa.-In choosing motor
men for what is believed to be the
first municipality owned and built
street railway in the United States, the
street railway of Monroe, Mayor A. A.
Forsythe, said that the first test for
fitness 70 rthis position will be total
abstinence from all intoxicating
liquors.
II am not a prohibitionist," said the
mayor, "but 1t is absolutely essential
that men occupying these responsible
positions should be sober, sane and
strictly reliable"
1t is expected the railway will begin
operating in a short time. A remark
able feature is the fact that the roads
construction has not directly cost the
taxpayers cent, all expenses being
betrayed by revenues from the city's
municipal waterworks. electric light
plant, wharves and other municipality
owned public utilities.

Denver.-An amendment to the orig

United States Sugar and Land Com
pany of Colorado Springs was filed in
the office of the secretary of state

2,500,0 900 to $5,000,000.
In view of the reports circulated to
the effect that this company intends to
construct a new sugar factory at Sher-
idan, Wyoming, news of the increased
capitalization will be received with in
terest by those engaged in the sugar
business and the business of raising
sugar beets.
The principal Office of the United

Would Separate Prisoners.

Denver-Governor Mcdonald, A. c.
butcher, warden of the state reforma-
tory at Buena Vista; c. E. Hagar, sec
Ietary of the State Board of Pardons,
and others interested in prison reform
have expressed the opinion that the
tough and hardened prisoners at the
state reformatory should be confined
in building by themselves, and not
permitted to associate with the other
young men. Instances are cited where
comparatively innocent young prison
ers have become desperate and unruly
because of their being in the company
of the real criminals in the institution.
The Legislature will be asked for an
appropriation to erect a new building.

! beaverton the authority of w. d.
Hoover, it is asserted that Denver is
going to have a sugar plant, probably
at Argo, to cost from $750,000 to
; S1,250,000. The plant, it is stated by
Mr.. Hoover, according to the Repub-
lican, is backed by Eastern capital,
which contemplates within the next
few years the erection of other plants
In different parts of the state. The
i Denver plant, it is stated by Mr..
Hoover, will be read for operation to
handle the crop in 1908.
I'VE contemplate generally" said
Mr.. Hoover yesterday, 1.-The erection of
a beet sugar factory in Denver. At
present we are not sure of the loca-
tion. We have several sites in mind,
and will, when the time comes, choose
the one which we believe to be the
most advantageous. What we seek is
proper trackage facilities, and easy ac-
cess to the producers of beet sugar. l
cannot at this time say in what parts
of the state we will erect other fac
tories, for we are not sure of the ex-
act locations. But it is our ambition
to have at least six plants in the state,
in locations which will be favorable.
The capital comes from the East, and
we have enough money in sight to
carry on our plans as the develop
ments warrant. l cannot, or rather I
do not care to state, who is back of
the proposition.
AT present we are occupied with
getting up contracts with farmers to
produce the beets which will be needed
| IN he ra1a in
1t Is a long process, that of getting
beet sugar factory into running order,
and we cannot get ready before the
season of 1908. We will then be in
shape to handle the business. I be-
lieve that there is a good field here
for a sugar factory. There are many
farmers between the city limits and
Arvada, in the Clear Creek valley
from Golden here, in the Bear Creek
valley and between Denver and Little
ton. 1t is this field that will furnish
the beets for the Denver factory.
I'VE are working on the proposition
now and before many months we shall
be in a fair way to realize our plans.
We propose, as the developments in
the industry warrant, to establish
these other factories over the state.
| We believe that there is a great oppor-
tunity in the state for beet sugar fac
tories, and we are going to get into the
field. The plant in Denver will have
capacity of 600 tons of beets day
at first. With time we hope to in.
crease the capacity to double that fig
ure. This will be the capacity of the
other plants to be erected in different
parts of the state. These will be en-
larged when the occasion demands.
We have looked over the ground at
Argo and other places, but we have
not yet made a selection. We are not
therefore in position to announce
definitely where this factory is to be
built
Mr. Hoover, who has Offices in the
Cooper building in this city, has been
connected with the sugar beet facto-
ries of the state in times past.
