THE TARIFF

In all the tariff discussions moth
ing is said as to where the con-
sumner comes in, and it is the con-
sumer who pays all the tariff The
government is not supported by
taxing the wealth of the country.
AS are state governments and cities
but the levy is in the nature of SO
much per capita. AS "A general
proposition a family of eight con-
sumes twice as much as family
of four and consequently pays
twice as much government tax.
The taft is the most expensive
system of collecting revenue ever
devised. 1t requires an army of
officers and spies to prevent SNUG
Cling and yet ninety per cent of
those who enter our ports are
smugglers in "a small way which
shows that the tax is unpopular.
In the first instance the impor-
ter pays the tax which is then
added to the cost of the goods. He
charges his profit not only on the
first cost but also on the tariff paid
and the wholesaler and retailer do
the same thing so that when the
stuff reaches the consumer the
tariff has been practically doubled
When Bryan returned from his
trip to Europe he announced him
self unmistakenly and unreservetlly
in favor of the government owner
ship OF the railroads.
Bryan undoubtedly believes what
he professed when he returned
from Europe. 1t is still his judg-
ment that under present conditions
and in the near future the railroads
of the United States ought TO be
acquired and operated by the gov
eminent. and the fact that the
Democratic national platform and
the Bryan speech of acceptance
contain no reference to this subject
does not alter his personal opinion.

ATTACK CLAIM OF
SQUATTER'S SON
Trial Begun of Suit Involving
Title to Nine Blocks in
Sunset District
Plaintiffs Base Ownership Upon
City Deeds, but Records
Are Destroyed

The ownership of nine city blocks in
the Sunset district. bounded by Thir-
teenth and Sixteenth avenues and l and
L streets, is involved in five suits to
quiet title being tried in Judge Bucks
court. The plaintiffs in the cases are
Joseph Schoder, Andrew L. Edwards.
Ernestine C. Clifford, Henrietta Schau-
bel, William S. Downing and Edward
A. Downing, who claim certain portions
of the blocks under city deeds. Their
claim is resisted by William A. Nc
Grath, son of the man who originally
squatted on the land in 1858, and Jo-
seph w. Reay. The property immedi
ately affected by the five suits now be-
ing tried is worth about $4,000, but
the nine blocks, possession of which in
directly depends upon these suits, are
worth more than 100000.
The suit has resolved itself into con-
Sideration of a. maze of conflicting and
imperfect titles, and Is further COM
plicated by the destruction of records
In the confagration of April, 1906. The
plaintiffs contend that their claims un
der city deeds were expressly approved
by the decision of the supreme court in
1882 in the case of Rousset against
Reay affirming the decision of Judge
Dwinelle, giving possession to Rousset
and ousting the Reays and the Nc
Graths. Title insurance companies
have been issuing policies to purchas-
ers from the predecessors of the pres
eut holders of the city deeds. Docu-
mentary and oral evidence has been
introduced in support of the conten
tions of the plaintiffs, including tax
bills for 80 years past 1t is stated by
the plaintiffs that McGrath and Reay
had virtually abandoned all claim to
the land from 1882 until after the fire,
but that the destruction of the records
induced them to make another en-
deavor to gain possession.
The case of McGrath. as outlined yes
terday by his attorney, II. w. McMar
tin, and also in testimony by McGrath,
was that he went on the land in 1868
with his father, Peter McGrath. and
had lived there practically ever since
He said he had married while living
there, that his children had been born
on the land and that his wife had died
there. McGrath admitted that in the
early days he had leased the land from
a man named Roper, who claimed own
ership. but ascertaining afterward that
Roper had no right to the land he re-
pudiated the lease and remained in
possession.
Attorney William s. Downing, who
is one of the plaintiffs in these cases
and is also attorney for the opponents
of McGratr and Reay, has had most to
do with working up the litigation.
This is a fight to a finish," he said
yesterday. ."McGrath has been levying
tribute upon the owners of the land,
trafficking in quit claims for whatever
he could get for them. We will push
these cases to the bitter end and show
that neither Reay nor McGrath has a
particle of rightful claim to the land"
1t was announced in court yesterday
by Attorney McMartin that McGrath
and Reay, although joint defendants in
the suits, were antagonistic one to the
other.

CARLO BIGINANI CAME
TO AMERICA IN 1904
Under the Law the Time Has
Passed for Deportation of
the Anarchist

A telegram was received from New
York yesterday by the local immigra-
tion officials which substantiated the
statements made by Carlo Biginani, the
anarchist who was arrested some days
ago, in regard to the date of his land
ing in the United States. Biginani
claimed that he came here in 1904 and
the records of the immigration office
in New York bore out his statement
He will be allowed to remain. as he has
been here more than three years, which
is the time set by law in which an
archists and criminals may be de-
ported.
Another of the alleged anarchists
arrested few days ago by Policeman
Rocca was up before Police Judge
Shortall yesterday on charge of va
grancy. He was Joseph Turinalli and
he told the judge that he was an
American citizen and a member of the
cooks and walters union He denied
that he was an anarchist and said that
once he had attended an open air
meeting just to hear what the speakers
had to say. The case was dismissed.

TELEPHONE COMPANY WILL
GIVE CONVENTION TO U. S.

The Colorado Telephone company
and it's allied branches, companies
and corporations. will be enabled to
give rhe news of the transactions of
the national Democratic convention
which convenes in Denver next Tues
day, to the entire United States.
This has been accomplished by 'he
company having just finished running
its wire from Kansas City to Denver,
distance of some 600 miles. Prior
to the s'rinigng Of this wire the COM
pany had a wire stretching from one
ocean to the other. but the connection
between Kansas City and Denver was
lacking. Since the connection has
been made the telephone service across
the continent Ia complete.
The people Of Florence will not
need lack information about the con.
vention that day, as the company has
generously consented to permit the
young woman at the local Office to
impart all the information they have
to the public. and anybody. whether
subscriber to the company or not.
can secure what information he may
desire by calling into the central
office. Operators will be hired pur.
posely to give all the informati on
obtsinable. The head office in
Denver will send out bulletins from
the convention room every few min
utes.
By this arrangement the telephone
company is comforting great favor
to the public and ns 1t win cost the
company considerable money. 1t will
no doubt be appreciated by the citi.
zens of this city. The convention
news can be secured rs quicKly here

FATE OF COUNTY FAIR IS
IN HANDS COMMISSIONERS

The fate Of the Fremont county fair
this year Is in the hands of the board
of county commissioners. Some time
ago committee of business men of
Canon City waited upon the COM
missioners and asked for the usual
donation of $1,000 for prizes. The
commis oners, in view of the fact
that the fruit crop this year is to be-
short, took the stand that the money
would not do the good that was in
tended and the matter was taken tn
der advisement. Since then nothing
further has been done. but at the
meeting next week they will be wait
ed on by another committee and urg
ed to donate. 1t is said that the city
Of Canon City will give 81 80.
Two months ago many we're in
doubt about the county being able to
give any kind Of q fruit exhibition.
But since then 1t has developed
that there will be more or less
fruit and that fine fruit show can
be pulled off. Fruit will be short,
of course, but in many classes the
specimens will be finer than ever.
1t has been pretty we'll advertised
that the county suffered complete
loss Of its fruit crop. To get up a
fair aud reasonably good exhibition
Of furit would do the county lot OF
good and 1t would surprise many who
came.
II the fair is held it is probable
that the dates will be changed to q
month later. This is to get better
apple display. There will be quite
. crop of later varieties of apples
and these will show up better the
last week in September or the first
week in October than earlier. II
the commissioners still believe that
under the conditions 81 900 is too
much to give this year. the fair will
not be held
