AGAINST Nattona, Inheritance Tax.

MIR. Howell. in the House. presented
the following resolution, the occasion
for which is President Taft's recent
message to Congress advising ma
tional tax on inheritances'
Whereas, the several states are
now taxing inheritances with marked
success and need all the revenue that
can properly be drawn from this
source; and
Whereas. the federal government
readily raises additional revenue when
required from other sources; there
fore, be it
Resolved, by the General Assembly
Of the State of Colorado:
"First-That the taxation of inheri-
tances should be reserved to the sew
eral states as a source of revenue for
their exclusive use and benefit
"Second-That the General Assem-
bly, of the state of Colorado hereby re-
spectfully request and urge the sena-
tors and representatives of the state
of Colorado in the Congress of the
United States to support properly
drawn joint resolution, when proposed
for adoption in the two houses of the
Congress, declaring it to be the policy
of the federal government to refrain
from the taxation of inheritances for
federal purposes to reserve this source
of revenue for the exclusive use and
benefit of the several states.
"Third-That the senators and rep
resentatives of the state of Colorado
in Congress are requested to oppose
with all their vigor any measure which
will give to the national government

for you"
Thank you, sir" responded Giles
very gratefully, but have pressing
engagement on shore-a matter of i'm
portant business" at which | saw the
suspicion of grin on the admirals
homely old face. He said little to me
until we were in the great cabin of
the Ajax. For myself, l can only say
that l was so awed by the beauty, the
majesty, the splendor of one OF the
finest ships of the line in the world,
that l was dumb with delight and
amazement. Once In the cabin, the
admiral asked me about my means
and my outfit. l burst out with the
whole story of what occurred in the
haberdasher's shop, at which Sir Peter
looked very solemn, and lectured me
upon the recklessness of my conduct
in ordering things with no money to
pay for them, and followed it up with
an offer to fit me out handsomely
This l accepted with the utmost graft
tude, and in a day or two l found my
self established as one of his majesty's s
midshipmen in the cockpit of the
Ajax, and l began to see life.

acknowledge, l was at loss. The
shopman, suddenly changing his tone,
cried out to my companion:
MIR. Giles Vernon, remember the
last REFER you brought here bought
near boatload and paid with the fore
sail. as you gentlemen of the sea call
it. I will not be done this time as
sure you"
At this, Giles Vernon promptly drew
his sword. which did not disturb the
shopman in the least. as | found out
afterward; young gentlemen of Giles
age and rank, in Portsmouth. drew
their swords whenever they could not
draw their purses. But l was very
unhappy, not on Giles account, but on
that of the poor shopman, whom l ex-
pected to see weltering in his blood.
After wordy war. Giles left the shop,
taking me with him, and menacing
the shopman, in case the purchases

l thought it wise to suggest that |
should now go aboard. as 1t was well
on to three o'clock. Giles agreed with
me. l had forgotten to ask him what
ship he was attached to- but it sud
denly occurred 20 me that he, too,
might be in the Ajax, and asked him.
Imagine my delight when he said yes.
But if the admiral does not be-
have himself better" he added, "and
IL the captain does not ask me to din

by the lord in admiralty that any re-
quest of mine will be regarded as an

BY that time we had reached the
water and there, stepping into splen-
did. eight-oared barge, | saw Sir Peter
Hawkshaw. He caught sight of us at
the same moment, and the change in
Giles Vernon's manner was what
might have been expected. He was
even more modest and deferential
than l. as we advanced.

Governor shafroth'. Message.

In a message to the Legislature of
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
Democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats.
The message follows:
March %, 1909.
ITO the Members of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
"Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history of
all OF the branches of the state gov
ernment. We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. The
principles contained in these pledges
in the party's judgment, as ratified by
the people, are essential to good gov
ernment. If we fail to perform the du-
ties intrusted to us by the people in
an honest, direct, inevasive manner.
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day of opportunity.
81 stated in my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted a
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy-six
days of this session have been con-
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded as sacred or deceptive devices
to gain power. To concede that pub
lie official may wilfully evade. or open
ly violate pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election, is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment. have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
these Iecalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
one of them l have waited day after
day, until patience has ceased to be
virtue.
IF any member. since the election,
has changed his mind as to these
measures and has conscientious scrt-
pies against voting for the same, he
should resign his seat now. If he will
not resign, then the party in each
county having such a member should
meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
In the full two weeks remaining OF
this session. you still have time to en-
act into law these reforms. l wish to
warn you that if these party pledges,
these contracts of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with, expect to
call an extra session of the General
Assembly and l shall expect the peo-
ple of this state to hold these oppos-
ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHAFROTH.
Governor of Colorado"

Comments on Expensive Clothing by
the City Mans Father.

one day strong breeze removed the
young mans straw hat. 1t landed in a

His father whistled DO you pay
four dollars for a straw hat?" he in
quired.
Always have done it." was the an
swer.
It's the extravagant age" com
mented the father. Il never paid more
than dollar for straw hat in my
life. And l recall the day when you
only paid so cents for yours. Russell
Sage once said that man who gave
more than that for straw hat was a
fool"
Il know, father; but everything
costs more now. We wear better hats,
too. The price of hat is not out of
proportion to the cost of other things.

for tie, $3.50 for shirt, so cents for
a pair of socks. five dollars for pair
of shoes. $40 for suit of clothes and
six dollars for underwear. With the
hat that brings my personal apparel
up to about $50 for a set That's no
more than any man who pretends to

Father was silent for long time.
Son" he said finally, Il remember
when so cents was the value of your
entire wardrobe. Your hickory hat

this would be double taxation of the
people of those counties.

How To Make An
Old Chair New
Any Woman Can Quickly Restore Any
Piece of Furniture to It's Original
Beauty Without Paints, Stains,
Varnishes or Sticky Mixtures.

A 25-cent can of wonderful FIOSpO
will just work wonders in your home.
1t will take the old chairs or tables
or a dresser or any of the furniture
in your home and make it as spick and
span as thought it had just come from
the store.
FIospO is positively the most Won
derfuI restorer of polished surfaces and
aid to good housekeeping a woman
ever had. It's not a common furniture
polish, it's not a varnish, It's not a
paint. it's not a stain. it isn't sticky
nor will it burn or explode under any
circumstances; it contains no acid.
The secret of its wonderful beauti-
flying powers lies in the fact that it's
real food for all vanished and en-
ameIed surfaces and floors. 1t polishes
and gives perfect lustre because it
feeds vanished and enameled surfaces
| and by restoring the surface that wear
and tear and exposure have destroyed
1t feeds the finish.
It's the best thing in the world to
keep the piano in perfect condition and

week on the floors. EIOspO is sold al
