Rocky Ford Exempt From High
School Tax.

( In the district court this weei
Judge Rizer gave an oral opinion In
! the injunction suit brought by G. A.
Jones against County Treasurer Daw'
ley 10 restrain him from collecting
taxes in District No. 4. which in
cludes Rocky Ford, for the support
OF the high school of La Junta. The
! injunction was made permanent. and
cxempts all who pay taxes in District
/ No. 4. The decision was made under
the law passed In 1907. which pro
yides that mo school district in any
county shall be taxed for the support
OF more than one class or kind OF
high school" AS Rocky Ford has a
high school, with $50 pupils In at
tendance, larger even than the mum
Der who attend the high school in
La Junta. Judge Rizer was Of :he
opinion that the taxpayers Of that
district could not In Justice be e1-
pected to support both high schools.
The assessed valuation Of District
No. 4 is $l.731, ,i5O, and the county
tax for high school purposes is Ia
mills Rocky Ford would have paid
$2.597,l7 for the support Of the "a
Junta high school The assessed val.
uation Of District No. IL is ST.
530,755 for the year 1908, and La uni
ia will pay s2,329.63 taxes for support
| OF her own high school-less even
than Rocky Ford. Any fair-mindsd
citizen OF La Junta will admit thar
/ this county tax for the support Of
the county seat high school, or Union
/ High School is and always has been
an injustice as applied to the towns
in the county that have high schools
of their own to support.
| The total county tax for high
school purposes in 1908 is $l2.772. 90
La Junta has received the benefit
for years without giving much in re.
turn. or course the benefits have
been here and available to every
citizen In the county. but evidently
they have notb cen appreciated, as
very few have availed themselves oi
the excellent opportunities afforded
II has virtually been taxation withou,
representation. There is such thing
as being fair even In school matters
and we very much doubt whether La
Junta has any just reason to kick OF
the decision Of Judge Rizer. It is
quite probable that citizens Of othel
school districts in the county yhs
have high schools Of their own tt

city remains saloon territory the
saloons will continue to operate here
under a license of 81 900 per annum !;
they will be closed Mt midnight
every night, and all day Sunday;
and if the people by their vote dc
eide that this shall be antisaloon
territory and II the Democrats are
elected, the saloons will be ordered
to close their places OF business, i,
and they will be kept closed.
The candidates on the Independent
ticket. In their pledge to the people
published in their organ, say that
IL the city ia to be saloon territory
that they will issue Licenses. But
they don't say how many aud neither
do they say what they will charge for
them, They do not pledge the peo
pie anything regarding these points.
and we think the people have right
to know their Intentions in this ma t.
ter If the majority of the vo ters of
Florence want saloons here, and so
vote 1t, then they should not stand /,
aud we hope they will not stand, for
an increase in license big enough to
put the saloons out of business. :
This idle talk going the rounds
that IL tho saloons are put out Of
business in Florence. and the revenues
therefrom lost by the city, the taxes
will not be raised, is all bosh; it Is
as plain as the nose on mans face
that IL the saloon license Is thrown
out, that amount must be made up
somewhere aud somehow. aud the on .
ly way 1t can be realized is by adding
more taxes on your home. Now. isn't
1t a fact that you are tax buIdsned al

still higher, that 1t wou'd nay you

CHASING THEMSELVES.

The candidates OH the Independent
ticket are having o merry time try
ing to explain their attitude on the
liquor question they are said to be
telling one thing to one person and
something else to another; in fact they
are chasing themselves. 1t is gener-
ally known that they have affiliated
themselves, or at least have the sup
port of the Anti Liquor league, and
1t is whispered around that the
saloons are to be driven out wheth
or the vote goes that way or not.
1t IL being persistently reported,
and it Is common talk. that if the
CITY is voted saloon territory, rs 1t is
now, and that II the independents
by some hook or crook succeed in be-
ing elected they will raise the annual
liceuse on the saloons to 81. 900 year
instead of one. This is their move
1t ia said, to get rid of the saloons
here, even IL the vote carries in
favor Of the saloons The license will
be raised to such an extent that the
saloons Will close up.
This is in keeping with the rev.
enue losing policy inaugurated by
these people about two years ago, and
now. 1t seems, the saloon revenues
are to be cut off even If the people
want the saloons to remain for the
sake Of the revenue. The saloons
pay annually into the Golfers Of Flor
ence the sum of s750O for licenses. If
the licenses are to be raised to such
prohibitive point then these reven-
ues will be chst from the city and
just that amount must be raised
through taxation on every stick of
property in Florence. There is no
way of evading the payment of
municipal Indebtedness, and If the
money does not come from one source, /,
It must come from another, and IL
you throw out the saloons in Flor
ence. then you must expect an in
crease in your taxes.
Thcre is not saloon in Florence

and IL the present quiet business
conditions continue to prevail here,
they will not make auy money for

cause they get little groggy. they
