Do the right thing at the right

Act quickly in times of danger.
Backache is kidney danger.

Cure all distressing, dangerous

with my kidneys, and no medicine
gave me permanent relief, until 1
procured Doan's Kidney Pills. /
took them as directed and was we'll
pleased with the results obtained
from the treatment. I have very
high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills
and cheerfully recommend them to
kidney sufferers. I felt better in
every way after using them"

FORESTRY SCHOOLS.

The establishment of q school Of
forestry in Colorado, in connection
with Colorado college, is a belated
step In the right direction. Scien-
tific forestry seems to be the only
remedy now. or perhaps better
stated, the only prevention for the
complete obliteration of our native
trees. While the forests ON our
mountain slopes might not mean the
reversion Of irrigated countries back
to desert, by reason of the too rapid
melting OF snow in the hills, it
would cut down cultivation enorm-
,ously. For this reason schools of
forestry. where the proper preserva-
tion of the remaining forests, and
the renewal Of already denuded areas
with trees Is taught, is important.
The general government is doing
good work, but slowly, as practically
all government work is done, and
before its agents are through investi-
eating and reporting the forests may
be gone. Better then would be
forestry course in the curriculum of
every school In this state.
Had the government taken up the
question years ago, and administered
some good, scientific spankings to
the timber thieves and vandals that
destroyed it, almost for the pleasure
of the thing, there would have been
no need Of scientific forestry at this
day, and the country would have
been richer by several billion dollars.

out Of the pockets of the tax payer.
How does he like it, by the way?
There was no doubt at any. time
where Commissioner Bradtield stood
in the matter. He was for the low
est bidder, regardless of politics. 1t
is understood, also, that Mr.. Devin-
ney balked some at the open steal.
The result was that when the matter
came to vote Thursday as matter
OF formallty, Mr.. Bradfield, chair
man of the board, was voted down
and the contract awarded to the
Sun. Then it was that Commits
sioner Wattenburg brought out q
secret agreement with the Sun that
their bid should be cut down from
"a cents an inch to 60 cents an
inch. This still leaves difference
of $500. 80 in favor of the Herald bid
on that one item alone.
The treasurer's tax list runs for
four weeks and usually covers an en-
tire page. The cost of publication
OF this item would be s64.S in the
Herald, and s201.60 in the Sun.
How does the tax payer like 1t?
Is 1t not nice state of affairs In
a county like this, that has the
credit of having the most intelligent
and best class of citizens of any in
the state, that they must be incum-
bered with as rotten political deal
as that? Does 1t not make you tax
payers just want to get out and vote
the same people in the same snap to
take your money away? Does 1t not
make you feel proud Of your inde-
pendent officials, who cover and
cringe before a political machine
that owns them body and soul :?
Don't you want to continue it In
power? 1t Is up to you to do SO
next fall.
The Tribune has not a word to
say about its own treatment lii the
matter. 1t did not have the lowest
bid, although only about $500 higher
than the Herald on the total. If
did, however, ask for an honest deci-
sion of the business, but was un-
needed. Will Fritz Wattenburg re-
member this next fall when he comes
up for reelection?

HOW DO you LIKE ,r1

The county commissioners last
Thursday went through the farce Of
letting the contract for the county
printing for the year. With no
more or better excuse than the man
who breaks into your house in your
absence and carries of your valuables
they are going into the pockets Of
the tax payers, take their money and
give about 81, l,0OO to their favorite
political organ. The Greeley Sun,
In order to curry its favor to help
perpetuate some of them in Office.
They call it good politics, 1t not
good business. How do the tax pay
ers like it?
The story of this graft is not long /;
not near SO long as the story of cor
ruption In Denver, but the violation
of the trust the people put in the
commissioners was just as raw and
just as fragrant as anything that has
been done In Denver, even to the
stealing Of governorship.
The commissioners in the early
part of April advertised for bids for
supplying the county with certain
job work for the year, and for the
best rates for necessary advertising,

Unwarranted Criticism.

The readers of the CALIFORNIAN viii
have in mind that two weeks ago we
published the substance of the report Of
the joint committee of the Legislature
appointed to investigate the accounts OF
our state officers, and therein stated that
the account for time and expenses of
Railroad Commissioner George T. How
ard of Craftsbury was criticised.
The committee came to the conclusion
that several hundred dollars in his ac-
count was wrongfully charged against
the state and recommended that action
be brought against him on behalf of the
state to recover this money.
The facts may be somewhat in dispute,
but the more substantial questions with
reference to this account are questions of
law for the court to determine, and like
all legal questions have two sides.
In view of the fact that the committee
recommended legal proceedings, the CAL
EDoNIAN carefully refrained from express
ing any opinion on the merits of the con-
troversy, and we have been amazed to
see our contemporaries (who have never
been accused of having any knowledge of
the law publishing column after column
OF billingsgate concerning a gentleman
who is out of Office and therefore out of
politics, and who will be compelledunder
the suggestion of the committee to de-
fend himself in the courts. Brethren,
why do you assume to PREJUDICE this
natter Will it not be time enough to
say that Mr.. Howard made illegal
charges when that has been established in
the courts? Do you seriously think your
abuse of Mr.. Howard will be of assist
ance to the court in disposing of this
matter? Do you think it is fair to him
to inhame the public mind in advance of
a trial? The CALIFORNIAN believes that
1t serves its patrons best by giving them
the truth while it is new. Newspapers
for news, and courts for Justice.

The Night after Christmas.

Twas the night after Christmas and all through the fat
Every creature was MISUNDERSTANDING the cat
The stockings were flung in heap the chair,
Quite empty of candy St. Nick had put there
The children all doubled up in their BEDS
With pains in their tummies and aches in their
Mamma heated water, while in my wrapper.
Was walking the kid (who is not a kidnapper);
When out in the street there great catter,
And put down the kid to what was the matter;
Rushed out in the entry, threw the door open wide,
And found old gentleman standing ousd
Hooked at him closely, and realized then
Twas the doctor I'd sent for that morning
He dressed in ulster, to keep him from chills
And his pockets bullying with packets of pills.
He came to the nursery and opened his pack.
Full of fresh paregorc and strong ipecac;
Rhubarb and soda-mints, fine oil,
And pink sticking plaster rolled up in a coil.
The children all howled in chorus of pain,
And the kid lifted up his contrato again
He felt all their pulses and looked at their tongues
Took all their temperatures, sounded their lungs.
When he'd dosed all the children sienced the kid
He put back his medicine, down the stairs slid,
Jumped into his cab and said to the driver
I'm excellent humor-hed just made "iver'):
I'm twelve hours behind my appointments fear,
But wish it Christmas each day in the year,"

THE LEGISLATURE.
Closing Work and Bills Passed and
Killed.
Important Bills Passed and Killed

Aside from the vital question of double
taxation, the Legislature of 1906 practi-
cally accomplished the work it was ex-
pected to perform. While an attempt at
retrenchment was evident in the curtail-
ing of special appropriations, the state
needs in the matter of schools and high
ways were provided for in liberal man
ner The removal of the limit of depos-
its in savings banks and trust com
panies which may reach 50, 900 in many
different banks, is expected to be a source
OF added revenue to the state, while the
consolidation of three state boards into
one will save the state goodly sum.
National bank interest bearing deposits
also come in for taxation.
A few of the more important bills
which met with favor and disfavor are
named below:
