LOOKING BEHIND THE SCENES.

The Denver Post has served
notice on the corporations that
the "red room" is in need of real
money. 1t didn't say that, but it
demands the initiative and refer
endum. the recall, direct pri-
mary law, more civil service, a
bank guarantee. the Texas rail-
way commission plan, an income
tax and all measures and things
favored by the last Democratic
state convention and which the
Post called on the Legislature not
to take too seriously last winter.
About the time the corporations
duly and properly come to the
center the Post will withdraw its
wheezy demands.-Boulder Cam

carrot and the woman clung to it,
thinking she was going to be
lifted out of hell. and the other
women and people in hell grabbed
hold of the woman, as the angel
gradually assembled higher and
higher, until it seemed hell was
going to be depopulated. but all
of sudden the woman looked
down and saw the thousands of
others clinging to her, and that
they all were going to get out of
hell with her. she exclaimed, in
her individualistic selhshness:
LET go of me, this is my carrot"
and just then the angel let go of
the carrot. and "kersock, they all

Hebrew fable of the woman in

out, and as she looked up she saw
in the distance an angel descend
ing toward her. and when the
angel came down near her, the
angel asked the woman what
good thing she had ever done in
this world, and the woman said:
Zone day poor hungry woman
came to my house and asked for
something to eat. and ! gave her

IT looks as though Uncle Sam
in collusion with the railroads
to fleece the public. In all these
land drawings. applicants are re-
quired to register in person at
some place near the land. Since
there are many times more ap-
plicants than allotments of land
it follows that the great majority
of applicants are out their rail-
road fare both ways. Thousands
pay the railroad fare while only a
few hundred have any chance to
draw land.

In view of the fact that Mr..
Taft during the last campaign de-
clared that no income tax amend
ment to the federal constitution
was needed. some people are vile
minded enough to assert that he
urged congress to submit such an
amendment IN full faith that
twelve states could be carried
against It and thus defeat it. OF
course Mr.. Taft wouldn't do a
mean trick like that.

THE BOSS JOKER.

A joker of some Importance is
found in section two of the new
tariff. That section provides
"that after the 31st day of March
1910, there shall be levied, COL
lected and paid on all articles
when imported from any foreign
country into the United States
the rates of duty prescribed by
the schedules and paragraphs of
the dutiable list of section one.
and in addition thereto % per
cent ad valorem, which rates
shall constitute the maximum
tariff of the United States" This
provision applied to the whole
list of 1000 specific schedules
makes the average 72 per cent,
much the highest ever levied.
How do you like that? 72 per
cent of the cost of what you buy
is to be tariff.
But how does this work2 The
Dingley rate on lumber was 50 90
per thousand fiat. The present
tariff reduces" it to $l.25, but
that 25 per cent ad valorum on
lumber worth $1,000 raises the
duty to 1925 and on lumber
worth $4,000 the tariff will be
$3.50. Real nice reduction" from
$500, isn't it2
Take print paper. The Dingley
rate was 5000 per ton. 1t is "re-
duced" to 1915. Now a ton OF
paper worth $4,000 will pay that
1915 llus $1,000 or S13.75. That's
a nice reduction from So 90 which
was robbery. 1t more than doub-
les the rate.
Take structural steel. The
Dingley tariff was $1,000 per ton.
1t has been reduced" to 45 per
cent. ad valorem, which on the
ordinary structural steel generally
used will make the tax about
$1,000 per ton. Beautiful reduc-
tion isn't it1
The same holds true on prac-
tically every article of general
consumption. When the people
have time to drag the nigger
from the woodpile there will be
things doing. Never before has
such a stupenduous bunco game
been successfully played. Don't
forget that Mr.. Taft signed that
bill. signed it in hurry. and ex-
planned that he did SO because he
believed congress had honestly
tried" to fulfill the party pledge.
What do you think of that
