HISTORY GIVEN
IN OLD MESSAGE

County Recorder C. H. Stoddard
has an interesting historical docu.
mcnt throwing light on the con.
dition Of the state in 1879. during
the administration of the renowned
Governor L. r. Bradley, still
familiarly referred to az Broad
horns" Bradley. 1t is in the shape
of the fourth biennial message and
shows that even in those demo.
cratic days the money question was
a matter of great concern.
In the face of certain claims t.
the virtue of economy the con
clusion of the message is interest
ing. Part of it is as follows:
Before closing this message
hope it will not be considered mop
perfume to refer to the condition
"a Of the state eight years ago when l
first took charge of the executive
department and it's present con-
dition. Then the state was loaded
down with debt of over seven
hundred thousand dollars. State
warrants were hawked about the
street at from so to rs cents on
the dollar there was no money in
treasury; heavy defalcations had
brought disgrace upon at least two
departments Of the state govern
ment. In other words we had
staring. us in the face an exhausted
credit and q bankrupt treasury"
Now we have over $500, 900 in the
treasury, our entire public debt 10
paid or payment provided for;
taxes have been reduced from 81. 25
to 80 cents on the hundred dollars !;
and can at this session be again
greatly reduced; the morale OF the
entire administration IS of the
highest character and each depart
ment is above suspicion.
Eight years Of economical
administration have placed the
state treasury 1850, 900 better
of than 1t was on the first of Jan
uary 1871 and that on reduced
rate of taxation"
The message contains also some
interesting light on the fsmous
controversy over the enforcement
OF the law taxing the proceeds of
mines. Old-timers say thst had
Governor Bradley been in the
slightest degree venal or corrupible
he might have secured large sums
by change in his stand on the
law. However he did not change
his attitude in the slightest. This
pressure was not revealed in the
massage which has this to say:
when the last session Of the
legislature Rdjourned the Con.
solidated Virginia and the Calf
ornis Mining companies owed state
and county taxes amounting in the
aggregate to $3.50, 275.95. Suits
were at that time pending in our
state courts for the collection of that
portion Of these taxes then delin.
quent. The law cxacts a penaly of
35 per cent for the non-payment
OF the taxes, amounting to $lO1,-
696.57. A suit was also pending
United States supreme court,
known as Forbes vs.. Crazy, to test
the right of the state TO levy AND
collect any tax whatever upon the
proceeds Of mines.

BEGIN FIGHT FOR
VOTES FOR WOMEN

Washington, Dec 1.--Opening n
fight for women suffrage, in which he
expects to present to congress a pe-
tition signed by more than a million
women, Representative Victor Ber-
ger, Socialist, Wisconsin, arrived here
today and got into action.
we stand for women suffrage. al
though we know that it may tenn.
porarily retard progress" said Ber.
ger.
Women will soon be guided in
their voting by their class of interests
and their material demands, just as
men. Moreover, the average woman
is more apt TO be religious and sup
'erst7tioUs tlJan the average mani
However, / am absolutely for woman
suffrage. We can never have free
country as long as half of the people
are disfranchised. However, / am
even more in favor of the enfranch-
isement Of women for economic reas-
ons
The ideal woman of men in the
past generation was the houswife.
That ideal has become impossible.
Now the laundry has taken the
house wife's wash tub and does the
work better and cheaper. The fac
tory has taken her knitting. She
can buy dresses cheaper and better
than she can make them. Even the
scrubbing, ironing and house clean
ing are now done by electricity bet
ter and cheaper.
The kitchen is slipping away from
the women. In the old days the wo-
man was supported by her father
and her husband in turn. At the
present the woman has to go to
work, often when she is only four
teen years old she must work to
support herself, and often must sup
port the family. Tho economic basis
or the life of woman has changed.
She has acquired the economic func-
iions Of men and ought to have the
franchise that goes with It,"

Between Thanksgiving and

suits, eating "a Of a pound Of
bread at noon and at 8. Like
the other monodiets, this one
had a most salutary effect up
on my bowels, which before
had been sluggish and had
caused me no little trouble.
This diet was satisfying In eV-
cry way and never hankered
after anything else. ! can safe
ly say that ! was never better
In mind or body. The catarrh
which have had for years was
In a month reduced very much
and Is now practically cured.
This man has mads several ex-
periments proving the correct
ness of the principles of the
monodiet stated in these hints.
II is not advisable to make any
sudden change In diet and re-

WINDMILL AS MOTIVE POWER
French Invention Applies the PrIncL

High Speed.

Long ago the patent Offices Of the
world came to the conclusion through
experts that few basic principles are
embodied IN new inventions. Adapta-
lions Of old and well known laws Of
physics merely are applied in a new
form IN mechanical co~ntrivances.
What shall be said of M. Constantin,
q French Inventor who has applied q
windmill Wheel to the front of We

which have to move against heavy

wagon Is of aluminium and weighs

Unl0ld ~ealth III eold. silver and

John 4. HERON, 3 wealthy miner or
Denver. make this assertion on
the authority OF mining experts and
engineers Who have gone over nearly
every foot III territory In the state.
One old miner Of Colorado recently
declared that the San Juan country
Iii Colorado is 80 full OF minerals that
to tell Of Il would sound like q fairy
tale. He declared that he discovered
the riches ID that section 20 long ago
- 1860, but that It has been
touched because the region where ore
abounds isxaImost inaccessible. When
It becomes possible to develop the
mines OF San Juan, ! believe 1t will
be found 70 be the best mineral field

This statement may seem incon-
sistent with the recent figures OF the
census bureau In Washington, which
show that the last eight years the
number Of men employed In mining.
milling and smelling in Colorado has
been cut almost in talf. In 1902 these
industries had more than $4,000 men
on the pay rolls, but In 1910 the num-
Der had been reduced to less than
10000.
81 believe that the time 10 not far
distant when there will be a revival
Of the greet mining boom which years
ago induced thousands Of persons to
flock to Colorado In search of wealth.
skilled miners and scientific engineers
and ~geoloSists agree that hundreds OF
miles OF The mountains Of Colorado
are mineralized. Quantities OF gold
are awaiting those who will search
for it."
