Why Jas. 3. Pearce Deserves Reelection


Pearce came to Denver, unknown outside
Of his county and the district court he had
been clerk Of for years. He found that the
business Of the once to which b. bad boon
electsd had been allowed TO run tteslf chief
~, and, ~ . result, everything wAs h great
confusion. Mr.. Pearcs 10 VERY msEhod1cai
% we'll ~ honest; he knows Of lust one way
TO do business-just - though It wers his
own private matter.
House-cleaning was his flrst work. After
putting everything In the once on . strict
business basis, no then made the entire Of
ice force put in the spare time in preparing
list Of the corporations that owed the state
nat tax, which his predecessor had licked
the nerve, or the honesty, to collect. This
would have cost the state $4,000 had extra
help been hired.
After the lists had been prepared, Mr..
Pearce went to collecting this tax. Many
corporations then informed him that his
predecessor had informed them that they
need not pay this tax. But he collected II
Just the same.
In the nrst seventeen months Of his term
he collected and turned into the state treas
ury an excess OF 30, 7e.l0 over the collections
Of his predecessor for nat tax alone, and -
It was done without penny Of extra sx-
psnse to the state the money WAS naturally
all clear profit.
And by reason Of the rigid system he In
stalled In his ONCE, the main account show
cd an increase Of eol,0od.46 Of corporation
taxes collected over the record Of his pre-
decessor-oF, In other words, he has turned
in to the state treasury, in clean cash, ex-
actiy SIS, 1855 more than his Republican
predecessor had.
In addition, he has instituted suits against
one hundred and thirty-one corporations
who have refused to pay their nat tax, and
he also has q list of over twenty Thousand
names Of corporations who are attempting
to cheat the state out Of an enormous
amount Of nAt tax. II he Is reelected he will
collect large proportion. II not all, Of this.
He has, without cost to the state, com piled
the corporation laws, consolidated three
department cash books into one, indexed
every instrument in his once that could be
indexed. instituted . system Of checking
In his ONCE that renders mistakes impos-
sible and allows the exact receipts of the Of
nee for each day to be known within fve
minutes after closing time. But he has on
ly commenced his work. II he il reelected,
with everything systemixed. and with his
work already mapped out, he can accom-
pIiah three times ~ much for the state for
the next two years as he has already accom-.
piished. He certainly merits reelection.
His defeat would be great calamity to the
state-in fact, an irreparable injury.
