DELTA, COLORADO FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1905
4 Big Fair Next Year.

the Fair association will keep up its
good work and go right along making
preparations for really big fair at
Delta next year.
AS matter of fact, Delta county is
entitled to one big fair, and such fair
costs money. Still it would do the
whole county vastly more good than
half dozen little ones.
In the matter of subscribing for
stock of the Association the business
men and citizens of Delta have been
liberal, and the result is that the asso-
citation not only has no debts, but it is
gradually getting attractive and well
improved grounds.
The fact that the association has
built a splendid two story exhibition
hall this season, doubled the seating
capacity of the grand stand and greatly
increased the quarters for stock, are
advances which cannot be ignored when
it comes to claims for a first class
county fair, and when it is farther con-
sidered that Delta is the county seat,
the inlet and outlet for railroad traffic,
it would not seem difficult to determine
this as the proper place for such a
county event.
At present there seems to be an
absurd jealousy existing between diff
ferent towns and sections of the county
in rivalry of fairs, and if the people
of one section do not turn out liberally
to one fair, the people of that section
feel slighted and retaliate by staying
away from the other fellows fair
This makes it bad for all of them and
is not the sort of united, helpful, boost
ing spirit which should inspire all the
people of a growing, booming, develop
ing, meritorious county like Delta.
Again it has been rather sluringly
insinuated that Delta and other county
fairs are held for the purpose of making
money. The absurdity of such a charge
would be apparent to anyone having any
part in their management.
A county fair is about the hardest
thing to make pay there is. Not town
or seperate part of county can hold
creditable fair without donating
heavily TO its expenses.
If. however, the county would unite
to hold good, big fair, and all take
what interest they could in making it a
success, it might be possible that it
would pay its own way, if not too ex-
travagantly managed. Last year Delta
subscribed about 81 500 to its fair
stock. This year its subscriptions
reached nearly g, 200.

Arm Broken in accident.

Mrs II. w. Pratt, of the Delta
Steam Laundry. was thrown from the
buggy sunday evening in Delta by the
borse suddenly shying at something in
the street, and fracture of the arm in
two places resulted. Both she and Mr..
Prat, were thrown from the buggy.
The mare being driven was the gentle
family driving animal, and the shying
was freak so unexpected as to take
the occupants of the buggy entirely of
their guard Mrs. Pratt is doing nicely
but will be compelled to remain at home
, for number of weeks.

Colorado Agricultural Col
lege Exhibit at Fair.

One of the especially interesting feat
ures of the exhibit at the fair was
display of articles manufactured by
the students of the State Agricultural
College. Many samples of very intri-
cate pieces of blacksmithing. lathe
work in both wood and iron, carpentry,
etc. were on exhibition.
The exhibit was intended 70 give to
those viewing it better comprehension
of the class and scope of the work
undertaken by an institution of the
character of the one at Fit. Collins.
One is strongly impressed with the
fact that only high grade work is ac-
ceptable to the instructors. Whether
a student is preparing himself for life
on a farm, as a civil engineer, as a
mechanical engineer. or any one of the
varied lines of work for which he may
be prepared by the Institution to enter,
the same thing holds true. Many pieces
of work on exhibition could only be dup
Heated by expert mechanics.
The exhibit was in charge of Prof.
E. J. Iddings, assistant in the Agri-
cultural Department of the College.
who ably answered all questions asked
by the interested spectators.

1t is noticed that a few speakers
and quite number of newspapers
are just now referring very f1ippant-
ly to the support of certain candi-
dates by the Harvester trust, the
Standard Oil and other trusts but as
the st. Thomas Times says bare as
sertions count for little in political
campaigns. The Times adds further:
@sThe people of the state are from
Missouri, according to the slang of
the street. Will some of Mr.. Hans
brough's newspaper supporters give
us some definite, tangible informa-
ton about the fight that the harvest
er trust is making in the state? If
this giant monopoly is really del
uging the state with money to be
used in defeating Hansbrough, some
one should know something about it.
We are anxious for light on this
terrible crime of the binder ban

adds the following: "The sudden ac-
cess Of ferocity against the trusts
now being displayed by Senator
Hansbrough, who also, by-the-bye, il
candidate to succeed himself, bears
all the ear marks of an electioneer
ing brain storm and will probably
subside Immediately after election
An examination of the congressional
records does not disclose any grea
activity on the part of the senate,
against the trusts and a long and mo
notonous series of roll calls fails t,
disclose even one instance where h,

upon to do SO, and it is not supposed
that this little break in which he il
now indulging will be held agains

INEQUALITIES OF TAXATION

The Inequalities of taxation con-
stitutes a large amount of the troub-
lie in this world. If all people could
be assessed and taxed equitabiy, &C.
cording to the real value of their
property and income the millennium
would not be far off and perfect con-
tentment would reign. Just now, and
for many years past there have been
many people who honestly believe
that corporate interests il some way
escape their just burden of taxation.
Others contend that the railroads,
for instance, are paying proportion
ately more than the merchant, the
farmer or the banker. 1t is to ar
rive at the real value Of ali classes
of property, especially corporate
properties, that the public service
commission is now engaged in. 1t
is now generally conceded that the
first thing to ascertain is the true
physical value of all properties and
this is not simple proposition.
1t was with view TO aiding the
taxing authorities that the last leg
islature created the commission
known as the public service COM
mission" This commission is COM
posed of the governor lieutenant
governor, and the speaker of the
house-Burke, Lewis and Twichell.
This commission will doubtless be
guided somewhat by the LaFollette
idea Of obtaining light, and while it
may be possible to make Roadway
fast, certain it is that some informa-
ton can be cleaned that will be of
benefit to the state board of equal
ization.
1t is not the desire of any we'll
meaning citizen to assess corporate
interests, railroad companies and
other public utility concerns beyond
their real value, but what is the real
value? That is the question. The
franchises of some public utilities are
Immensely more valuable than the
mere physical properties, and it is
of the greatest Importance that some
system be adopted to get at this class
of public utilities that all wealth.
producing opportunities as well as
real, tangible property may share in
the burdens of taxation.

Gorgeous Birds on Postal Cards.

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth has been
sending to her older chums beautiful
postal cards showing birds in gorgeous
natural plumage, says the New York
Press. Such feathered souvenirs are
enjoying vogue. The birds from Ha-
waii and the southwest are exquisite
In coloring, and couple of dozen Of
them mounted on cards make a strik-
ing screen. Mrs. Longworth has al
most 200 specimens, and she has been
generous in dividing her spoils. The
fad will not come under the ban of
the Audubon society, for the getting
OF the feathers entails no danger to
the songsters. The pictured birds are
much smaller than the real ones and
are made up Of feathers obtained from
fowls and colored skillfully.
