The law which gives the state the
right to levy tax of cents on every
thousand dollars of the capital stock of
all foreign corporations doing business
within the state was again declared to

The average landlord farmer. the
farmer who has rented his land and
gone to town to live, does not care q
rap whether the roads are improved or
the buildings painted. Indeed he would
prefer not to have improved roads be-
cause that would increase the value of
his land which would mean more taxes,
and if there is one thing the average
man hates to do it is to keep paying
taxes. The landlord farmer is a bad
asset in the community. He retards

After Beet Acreage in Nebraska

William Lowe, field man for the
Great Western Sugar Company at Fort
Morgan, left yesterday for Wray, Col
orado, and western Nebraska points to
sign up beet acreage for the next cam
paign. Mr.. Lowe will endeavor to con-
tract for acreage at Wray, Colorado,
and at Laird, Sanborn, Haigler, Loane
and BenkIeman, Nebraska. The farm
ers at these points have in the past
raised beets for the factory located at
Ames, Nebraska, but were stung when
that plant fell down few years ago.
The farmers in this region will be
asked to again attempt the raising of
beets and if enough acreage can be Sc
cured in their territory the company will
erect beet dumps for loading and may,
some time in the future, build factory
in that vicinity. y.-Brush Republican.

innv>ation of Superintendent of Public
Instlhction Katherine Cook. She brought
the natter up before the land board
Monday and asked for the adoption of
. resolution granting unto every school
located on state land tract of land to
contain from two to five acres to be
used for playground purposes providing
the school board of each school will
pay for the playground equipment. 1t
is the intention to equip all the country
schools with turning poles, swings and
in fact every equipment known to an
up-te-date playground if it can be done.
The land board favors the proposition
and wherever school can be found
located on state ground, the trustees of
which will furnish the equipment the
land board will furnish the land for the

With view Of determining just how
the salaries of school teachers in Colo
rado compare with the salaries received
by people of other professions, State
Labor Commissioner Edwin V. Brake is
addressing letter to every teacher in
the state in an effort to learn exactly
what wages each receives, what portion
of the year he or she is employed, and
what conditions, surround the work
Commissioner Brake believes that the
Colorado teachers, particularly those in
the rural districts are not adequately
paid for their work. He believes as he
recently told the teachers at one of
their meetings, that proper organization
along industrial lines and porper state
ment of the real conditions will soon
bring an increase of salaries for those
teachers who now work but a short
portion of the year snd receive the
minimum salaries. He is sending out
the letter with view of collecting in
formation that will aid the teachers in
placing their case properly before the
necessary authorities to bring about an
Improvement of conditions.

The reason OF this Is twofold-first

and, second. there Is a strange super
stttious dread existing among reigning

which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity is fraught with peril to their
descendants
The method Of destroying these
weapons is n curious one The wooden
