A BIG SURPLUS IN
STATE TREASURY

| The Republicans will turn over tc
the Democratic state administration q
surplus of about 100000 to start bust
ness with. whereas, when the Demo
Gratis turned over to the Republicans
a few years ago depleted treasury
and unpaid bills. The following from
the Post of Friday will be interesting
reading:
"The treasury of the state of Colo
rado contains a nice little nest egg
OF 100000. all velvet, for the incom
ing legislature to apportion as 1t sees
fit.
This is in addition to the estimated
income for the next biennial period
of $2,36O,265, which should be enough
to satisfy all demands. and they will
be plenty. for every department at
the state house and every institution
in the state is now busy figuring out
needs for the next two years.
I'm addition to the money received
from general taxes. the state has three
very profitable departments which
help out the income materially. The
receipts from the flat tax department
of the secretary of state for the next
two years will amount to about $3.50.
900. The Inheritance tax is counted on
to produce 100000, and the insurance
department will bring in the nice lit
tie sum of s35O.000.
For the year ending 1907 the sur.
plus in the state treasury was added
to by the sum of $4,000. The sur.
plus for this year will approximate
$3.50, 900.
"The floating indebtedness, which
ran into the hundreds of thousands
ten years ago, has been entirely wiped
out by the appropriation OF surplus
accounts during those past ten years
At the present time the indebtedness
OF the state outside of bond issues
which are care for in the general ap.
preparations every year. consists of
the Cripple Creek war debt. amounting
to about 100000, and the old certifi.
Gates of indebtedness of eighteen years
standing.
The last legislature voted to fund the
Cripple Creek war debt by issuing
certificates Of indebtedness bearing
3 per cent interest. These papers
we're offered to investors, but NO bids
were received, SO the next legislature
Will have to take action on them.
The voters turned down the propo-
sition for a bond issue to take care
o. the older evidences of Indebtedness,
so there will be no bad debts of the
state that viii occpy the attention Of

A Kansas farmer complains that he
was swindled few days ago by a
sharper who induced him to pay sew
eral thousand dollars for what he rep
resented to be diamond, but which
turns out to be stone of little value.
This should serve as warning to
other Kansas farmers. A farmer may
properly invest in grand piano or a
$4,000 automobile, but he really ought
not to wish to wear big diamonds.
