go or whether you don't.
So that's the story in brief. We be-
lieve we are doing a great thing for
the people of Canon City-for the
people who like that sort of thing.
If we didn't believe that we wouldn't
do it.
How can you afford it?" asked Il
man the other day. "And how do you
get your money back?" Well, in the
the second place we don't get our
money back, as anybody around this
office can see now, and in the first
place we can afford 1t II we want to.
We never do anything we can't afford,
when we know it, We cannot afford to
build for Canon City an Industrial
school or a hospital. We wish We
could. We would do It in minute
II we could. But we can afford this
and we take pleasure in doing it.
We hope the people who like this
sort of education will enjoy the

Gov. Buchtel is the greatest orator
in Colorado today. Do you remember
that whirl-wind campaign of eloquence

Purpose of Bill

MT. Percy said that the bill meant the building up of the revenues of the state. He declared that the present system did not achieve results.
 He said the Pegram bill increased the appropriation to the state tax com mission s15.000, but that the returns to the state would more than make up for the increase.
 He showed that his substitute diff fered from the Pegram amendment In that his substitute provided that as- sistants appointed by the state tax commission for the purpose of assess ing property in any county of the state should be a resident of that county. The Pegram amendment provided that the state tax commission might seat residents into any county in the state to assess property.
 MT Percy declared that the present system depends upon the avarice and energy of the county tax commission CTS, while under the proposed system every man assessing property would be remunerated according to his eff ciency. }tals

 MT. Percy said that unless we inn proved on the present system of the county tax commissioner the state would be in danger of dishonor "Un- less we improve upon the present working we shall be confronted by a terrible situation"
 Speaking of the bill before the house MT. Percy said he believed Gov ernor O'Neal had been sincere when he declared the bill to be menace lie thought the governor was in earnest in regard to the matter but he dld not believe the governor had suggest ed the right method to build up the states revenues.
 He declared that $60,000 in revenue from Jefferson county was not suf1i- cient q believe there should be from S25,000,000 to S50,000,000 in raises in property. I believe thss will be neces- sary to take care of our demands. There should be at least an increase of 5 per cent to 10~ per cent in the taxable property of the state"

 MT. Percy then offered resolution to the Pegram amendment, giving the state tax commission authority to appoint agents with the powers of the county tax commission. The right Is given the gov ernor to call on county tax commission CTS to perform whatever service he snali designate
 Speaking on the substitute, Mir. Percy said that he realized that he had taken up good deal of time, but that he rep resented great county. The Jefferson representative said he had frequently wished that he was member from one of the smaller counties of the state, Tor then he would not have to feel so great responsibility.
 Referring to Mir Brown of Pike who nad suggested that debate be limited 10 10 minutes, MT. Percy said that the pili before the house related to the taxing power of the state, and as such was one of such grave importance as that it could not possibly be discussed in 10 minutes. He declared that the bill should be dis cussed at length. whether it took lV minutes or two hours.

 MT. Percy said that If the members oiu not believe that the bill before the house would build up the taxable power or the state tax commission, he would not ask them to support the bill
 What has the state tax commission done for the state?" asked MT Percy. The representative then launched into careful explanation of the work which the state tax commission had done for the state He showed that as a result Of the work of the state tax commission, Alabama had gained more than slo,Ooo.ooo from the county commissioners and s4f,- 0,00o from the state commission.

AM|ABLE WOMAN ENDS LIFE AT
 SWANSEA
(From Saturdays Daily)

Despondent over failing health, Mrs. Bailey Edwards, former resident of McCabe, ended ner earthly career, Thursday morning, at her home in Swansea by firing a bullet into her brain. Death was instantaneous. Her four children, the oldest q daughter of thirteen years, were witnesses to her tragic end. She will be laid at rest today in the Swansea cemetery.
 That the rash act was premcdita- ted is attested by several of ner intimate friends. She complained much lately of ner failing health, and is alleged to have said that life had lost its charm and that she would welcome the end. {,
 Mrs. Edwards was the daughter of the late Mrs. E. J. Lane of McCabe. She was 34 years old and a native of Arizona. Besides her children of tender age, her husband survives.
 MT. and Mrs. Edwards moved last year from McCabe to Swansea, where he secured employment with the Clara Consolidated Gold, Silver and Copper Mining company.
 Mrs. Edwards was an industrious and lOvable woman, enjoying the friendship of a large circle of friends all over the Territory, who will regret to learn of her untimely end, and whose sympathy will go to the grief-strieken husband and moth erless little ones in their sad be- reavement.
