A''Will I be entering upon forbil-

be thought guilty of impropriety In

which are binding upon the rest OF

were able to make an exact calcula-
ton Of the amount OF money taken
from an unsuspecting public each
year from the issue of stocks and
bonds known to be worthless more
than the amount for which they are

the total amount of money stolen In

Barnett of Ouray county yesterday
asked Judge Steele for permission to
file a suit against the state board of
equalization to compel that organi-

railroad property according to mile
age instead of according to the valu-

For instance, they want the total
value of the Denver & Rio Grande

track. including main lines, broad
gauge and narrow gauge. and then
apportion to each county the amount
1t would be entitled to according to
the number of miles in the county
