"The Maais Melody"

The saying that oil and water will
not mix is no mole true than it is
that the artistic world and the com,
mercial world cannot be success fully
mingled. This truth il well eXempli-
fed in The Magic Melody the new
play in which Mr. Walker WhiteSide
will appear at the opera house next
Monday January 18th. Like THE Lion
and the Mouse" this play deals with
certain phase of frenzied finance
but in this case the nnaneier is abso
lutely subordinated to the love inter
est and the real characters of the
play are those who know the CHIEF
aim in life should not be the dollar
The artistic atmosphere of the play
is more delightful than any written
description can tell.

VALUE or ILLINOIS PROPERTY

According to the state board OF
equalization the value az Illin0i
property for purposes Of taxation Is
$1,126,470, 600, The assessed value is
but one-fifth of the assumed full value
which is s5.G32. 100000 The state
board admits that is not in reality
the true full value. II says that iii.
nois real estate is assessed at only
70 per cent Of the actual value. For
that reason it has taken 30 per cent
off the valuation of the railroads 50
that they may not be taxed proper
] tionately higher than real estate
If the - per cen; estimate of the
state board Is correct the true value
of the property of al kinds found by
1t and the local assessors IS sS.04G-
100000. But that figure, large though
1t is, does not represent the total
value of property in Illinois If the
statistics of the census bureau can
be relied on. According to those sta
tistics the true value in 1904 was
$S,S16,000, 900. If the state gained in
wealth s1900,0000 600 between 1900
and 1904, as the bureau as umes Il
did, it ought 10 have gained half as
much between 1894 and 1906. That
would make the present value over
So, 600 goo. The assessors do not
appear to have been jealous in the
performance of their duties.

OF Interest to coIoradans.

An article of more than passing in
terest to all Colora1ans has recently
been published regarding the struggles
of our very earliest pioneers TO obtain
the recognition of this western coun-
try as a territory by the federal gov
ernment Former Professor of History
in the University of Colorado Frederic
l. Paxson, has united under the caption
of "The Territory of Colorado" in the
last issue of the University Studies
all the steps and deliberations which
were taken by the first prospectors in
and around Denver to win a grant of
protection and organization from Con-
gress. The settlers had no laws and
no representation in the National
Council md their needs were urgent
and many. But all their efforts for
n while availed nothing. With the ar
rival of the first newspaper their de-
mands became more insistent and urg-
ent, and finally on February 2S, 1861,
the territory of Colorado became le-
gal fact. 1t was not, however, without
hardship and travail that the territory
was established, and many incidents,
such as a heavy fall of snow. which
forced the miners to stop work and in
idleness discuss politics, operated to-
ward the erection of the government
of our state. The article is well writ
ten, concise and interesting.
Every one of the other contributions
TO this number of the University Stud
les concerns the state in some way,
DR.. John b. Phillips, professor of So
ciology and economics, writes upon
'The Significance of the Banking Stu
alton in Colorado" ana in the course
of the treatise tells of the rise of the
banking laws of the state, their rela-
ton to the population, and of remedies
which should be adopted according to
the experiences of other common,
wealths. This question is of current
interest and the article was first deliv-
cred in a talk before the State Com
mercial Association, and was consid-
cred so valuable that it has been put
In permanent form.
