Heavy Paper shipment.

The Independent received this
week. 103 bundles of 60-pound Al
Franklin news. for its regular use.
which is no doubt the largest con-
signment of news print paper ever
received by one paper in Delta
county at a single shipment. The
paper is extra weight, and the best
quality made. The shipment amount
ed to nearly seven tons in weight.
and the price almost scared US to
death.

Assessors Value State


at S417.2ss, SAB.
The assessors valuation of the
state this year of s417.2SS,S43. is
an increase over last year of 16,-
417.197.
In the list of county totals there
are but eleven counties in the state
whose valuation exceeds that of
Delta county, and forty-eight below
Delta.
Deltas' valuation from tax asses
sors standpoint is $5.062.475. that
of Montrose s3,403,Ss5 and that of
Mesa s7.672.045.
The above figures are given just
by way of comparison. Mesa county
only has a valuation of little over
two million dollars above Delta. In
IL are Palisade, Fruita and several
other towns aside from Grand juno
tion, which is double the largest city
on the Western Slope. aside from
which it has additional railroad and
manufacturing valuation which alone
should represent the difference.
Delta's valuation only exceeds
thaMt of ontorse $1,5S5.5S0 which
In turn looks little too small. IL
we are to take into consideration
our great area of rich farms and Or
chards. coal and agricultural lands
and good towns.
The state, in general. shows
good valuations, and when 1t is con-
sidered that the increase of &c.,
417.197 Is confined to about one
third of the counties-like those on
the Western Slope-it makes a
pretty satisfactory showing.

Between the Devil and the Deep Sea

In the early days when herds of
buffalo grazed along the foot hills
of the western mountains, two hardy
prospectors fell in with bull bison
that seemed to have been separated
from his kind and run amuck. One
of the men took to the branch
es of tree and the other dived in
to a cave. The buffalo beloved at
the entrance of the cavern and then
turned toward the tree. Out came
the man from the cave and the buff
falo took after him again. The man
made another dive for the hole.
After this had been repeated three
or four times the man in the tree
called to his partner who was then
trembling at the mouth of the cav
ern: Stay in the cave you IDIOT"
You don't know nothing about
this hole,' shouted the other, there
is a bear in it"

Harmony was on tap in every del

tenances of the delegates presnet.
The nominations made were well
distributed over the county and the
delegates of all sections appeared to
be satisfied.

be no kicking or squirting under the

a taste two years ago of what too

FINE IVORY NOW THE VOGUE
Toilet Table Accessories at the Pres.
ent Moment Are Costly but De.
cidedly Smart.

All the toilet and dressing table
requisites are now found in fine ivory.
The only care needed is to rub off
with a fresh, soft cloth, occasionally
using a rag moistened in alcohol if
spots occur. These, too, are more
costly than silver, but are considered
very smart.
The backs are mOnogramed in
black, brown, and occasionally in
raised gold. Sometimes the sets are
shown with floral decorations, but
this is not so good style as is seen in
many of the limitations.
White celluloid sets with a mono
gram in black. dark green. blue. or
brown are now to be found in good
designs with simple lines. The latest
preparations are no longer combus.
'tible, and a full celluloid toilet set is
a good investment for a guest room,
for a girl at college, or for the chronic
traveller; for use in a bag they are
much lighter than any other ware.
The searcher after novelty can have
her dressing table appointments in an.
tique gilt. old Japanese lacquer, or
Dresden china.
Such q selection Is not for the aver.
age buyer, as, unless are workman.
ship and corresponding cost are had.
the results are likely to be poor.

Protection for the Laborer.

II the head Of an industry declares
that no employer can be expected to
pay more for labor than the market
price of labor-that labor is a COM
petitive commodity the same as n
other marketable article-then he dis.
qualities himself as an applicant for
protection if 1t is shown that the mar.
ket price of labor is such as to permit
him to manufacture at enormous prof
its while labor is underpaid.
Now Colonel Roosevelt proposes not
only that the tariff shall be reduced
to the basis of the difference between
domestic and foreign production costs,
but that ever under this reduction the
government shall see to it that the la
Dor plea is not a mere subterfuge, that
the workman gets his share of the pro-
lection or that the protection be with
drawn.
And why should not the government
exercise just such supervision?

Has Plan to Care for Ex-Presidents

crosses are held, continue to give the
benefit of his counsel and experience
to the president.
The suggestion has been made, and
has already crystallized into an or
ganized sentiment. to adopt the same
method with the president Of the
United States, make him. for life. an
advisory member Of the presidents
cabinet and give him a competence
sufficient to make him independent,
Speaking of this proposal. Mr.. Baker
said that 1t was really surprising how
many men there were In the west who
thought that this method furnished
the solution Of the perpetual perplex.
ing question as to what disposition to
make of our ex-presidents.
ION its face the proposition is Ger.
tainly a plausible one. It stands to
reason that after a man has been
president for four or eight years he
knows the problems and difficulties
which confront the man at the helm
Of the ship of state better than doea
his successor. II the ex-presidenti
could be made advisory members Of
the cabinet of the president, the lat
ter would get the benefit OF the ad
vice of the former.

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE ANDERSON
Rooseve't's Outburst Condemned by
Those Who Know tho Indiana
Jurist.

Some people were surprised and
shocked at Mr.. R~oosevelt's outburst
against Judge A. H. Anderson, and. in
deed, 1t is shocking. But there is
nothing surprising about it. 1t hurts
only because it Is directed against a
man whom we all know and honor.
But Judge Anderson stands no higher
than other men and women whom Mr..
Roosevelt has traduced. Long ago he
denounced Mr.. Whitney of Boston as
a liar, n many of those who are now
stirred to anger meekly accepted the
characterization. Mr.. Roosevelt at
tackled Doctor Long in the same brutal
fashion. but again the people we're
silent, and even approving. Senator
Tillman who, whatever his faults may
be, Is a truthful man, was abused by
Mr.. Roosevelt. So we might go
through the list. But we will only
add the name of q highly respected
and truthful lady, Mrs. Bellamy Stor-
er, who also was denounced by Theo-
dore Roosevelt. These people we did
not know, and SO We were not out
ragged at the Rooseveltian assault on
them. But We do know Judge Ander-
son, know him as an honest and high
minded gentleman and a Just and up
right judge. In other words. the thing
is brought directly home to us. We
ought now to be able to see that the
reputation of other people is as dear
to them and their friends and neigh
bors as is Judge Anderson's reputa.
ton to him and to US. The assault
on Judge Anderson was quite in keep,
ing with the record and career OF the
man who made 1t. He has been doine
Just that sort of thing for years. He
has denounced other judges, notably
Judge Humphreys. Only the Other
day he spoke of certain justices of the
Supreme court of the United States
as "fossillzed." What, therefore, he
said about Judge Anderson is about
what we might have expected. 1t is
not at all necessary to defend ths
judge in this community or state. Blu
II Is necessary to expose and con
denim utterly the theory that judges
are bound to rule as presidents thinl
they ought to rule.-Indianapoli.

TARIFF AND FRAUD
Pertinent OBSERVATION 8
BASED ON RECENT HAPPEN
iNGS.
Rate Within the Bounds Of Decency
Is the Solution of the Question
Ample Revenue Without Pres
ent Extortion.

AS 1t is a notorious fact that fraud
causes high tariffs wide the well es-
tablished congressional method of tar
i'll manufacturer, so it is just as GER
tain that high tariffs cause fraud. If
a tariff is high enough to make the
risk of evasion pay, that risk will be
taken and successfully often. That 1t
will be taken by eminent and respec-
table citizens whom we should not
naturally expect to take 1t is clearly
evidenced by the sugar trust customs
frauds. Since then the underweighing
and undertaking of cargoes of other
commodities have been discovered.
Now the federal authorities are on the
trail Of New York's most prominent
importers of objects of art, and de-
clare that they are confident that they
can make good their charge that these
importers have been de~frauding the
government. And we learn from
Washington that still other firms are
under suspicion OF being guilty of sim
liar crimes.
Opponents of the income tax have
insisted hat such a tax would make
men liars. Probably it would in some
cases, as most taxes have hat effect
more or less; but 1t Is certain that the
tariff tax makes men thieves. With
more rigorous inspection at the Gus
tom houses it has been shown hal il
has become almost a custom for citi
gems of social prominence to try tC
smuggle through valuable purchases
they have made abroad. And in ad-
dition to this amateur work the
amount of practical professional SNUG
Cling that is going on is appalling.
This form Of knavery, as is com
mon to knavery, is meant to rebound
only to the benefit of the knaves. The
prices they charge for their Struggled
commodities are the same as those
charged for similar commodities on
which the duty has been honestly
paid. That is to say, these gentry
object only to the payment of the
tariff, but not to its effects. Thus, in
many instances, our tariff Is strictly
protective, with no revenue-raisine
features whatever, and however rigor
ously we enforce or pretend to enforce
our customs laws, it will remain sc
to a greater or less extent as long as
the schedules are high enough to make
fraud worth while.
That we can raise ample revenue or
a tariff that it is cheaper to pay than
evade, there Is no doubt; nor Is there
any more doubt that such a tariff will
afford all the protection hal is jus
titled, If we continue to maintain the
theory that protection is justified al
all. Such n change would contemplate
neither free trade nor a tariff for rev
enue only, but a protective tariff that
Is within the bounds of decency and
n which does not turn all the earn
ings of the people into dividends, ex
ira dividends and melon cuttings. II
we must hamper International trade
let us do so decently instead of hog
gishly. and so make for the welfare Of
our people and the honesty of ouI
importers.
