Potato growers in Weld county
we're rather surprised to see an an
nouncement in the Denver papers re-
garding a record yield of spuds
credited to a Rifle man who got 22l
sacks to the acre on 81 y acres. This
was exploited as championship
honors when in Weld county there
are many farmers who have done
better.
James Couzens. east OF Lucerne
planted 80 acres. which netted him
o42 sacks to the acre. The average
price was 20 cents per 100, each
sack running approximately 12d
pounds.

sacks to the acre of 40 acre tracts

MRS. MARTHA COX, OLDEST
VOTER IN COUNTY, IS ILL

Mrs. Martha Cox, the Oldest resi-
dent of Weld county, is lying seri-
ously i'll at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. E. A. Titler. with no hopes
entertained for her recovery.
Mrs. Cox celebrated her ninety
sixth birthday January s and for
several years has been the oldest
voter in the county. Until year
ago she was remarkably active and

been failing and has been confined
to her bed a part of each day. Her
condition was not considered serious
until Saturday evening and since
that time she has been rapidly sink

"Grandma" Cox has had a remark
able life, full of experiences which
come to pioneers in new countries.
When a small child living with her
parents in southern Indiana, which
was then practically in the wilder
ness, there was an Indian uprising
and a war between the few settlers
and the Indians on their farm. The
members of her fathers family
escaped with their lives and few
years later moved to Iowa, where
they made their home for years be-

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO MAKE
TAXES SUBJECT OF MEETlNl

Taxes, the one subject in Greeley
at present that makes spineS stlnen
at the very mention. may be dis
cussed at the next banquet OF the
Greeley Commercial club. If plans
of some OF the members are carried
out.
Since the property owners have
been notified OF the increase, there
has been criticism hurled in every
direction, many OF the tax payers
stating openly that the Commercial
club has been instrumental In bring
ing the high rate. The Tribune has
opened its columns to all who have
had something to say on the subject
and has printed in full all communi-
cations received.
Some leading tax payers are in
favor OF forming a permanent tax
payers league for the purpose OF
keeping tab on the taxes that are
and those to come, and now the busi-
ness men are expressing themselves
in favor of having taxes the one sub
ject OF the next banquet by the Com
mercial club, and suggest that any
who are not members be invited to
hear what is said and participate In
the speaking, II SO inclined.
Some of the prominent members
Of the Commercial club are inclined
to resent the criticism directed at the
organization. They state that the
club is representative of the citi-
Eens of Greeley. the membership be-
ing composed OF doctors, lawyers,
merchants. newspaper men and, in
fact, of every representative calling
or profession. There are more than
800 of these and it is argued that SO
representative body could not be-
come radical without its own men,
bership holding it in check.
The new court house is referred
to as pet plan of the Commercial
club but, it is stated. when the court
house was discussed there were ex-
pressions of what was needed rang
ing from an addition to the present
building to million and half
structure. They say that II those
who criticise so severely will join
the club they will have say with
every other member and could hold
in check any suggestions Of extra
vagance that might be advocated.
This. it is declared, would be far
better plan than to stand aloof and
criticise.
The movement to have taxes the
subject of the next meeting is well
under way and has met with the
hearty approval of many members.
1t is said that Assessor Fischer will
be glad to appear before the club
and give his side OF the matter and
answer questions on the subject that
may be asked by the members.

ARCHIE CAMP HAS A WORD
TO SAY ABOUT HIGH TAXES

The cause of this article being
written is an editorial in the Tribune
of February 1st, in which very cas-
ual mention is made of that very inn
portant feature, the exhorbitant
taxes for the year, and plea. in
geniously worded for our people to
trade at home. AS for the taxes, l
will say that they are not only ex-
horbitant, but to my mind unwar-
ranted and unjust, and at this finan-
cially depressed time. will work un-
told injury to Greeley and vicinity.
Taking for granted that the form
er valuation of property was equable
then the new valuation is crime.
for 1t has been so advanced that the
taxes are raised in the city from 25
per cent, to, l have heard, in one
instance. 175 per cent. and another
$50 per cent. on property of which
l happen to own half. the tax Is rails
ed from $416 last year to S63S for
this, or nearly 60 per cent. This
property. although as well rented
as the average, did not produce more
than two per cent after payment for
sidewalks, alley concreting, water
tax. insurance and the inevitable re-
pairs. This year 1t will in all prob
ability produce nothing. Mine is not
an exceptional case either for prob
ably nine-tenths OF the Greeleyites
such a condition mean to our little
old town? Certainly stagnation
and maybe ruination.

upon the line of travel Of these
pleasure wagons?
A generation or two ago commit
tees of vigilants were formed to
prevent the stealing Of a few fifteen
dollar bronchos and ten dollar cows.
How much more are they needed
in this generation when even the
skin OF our debt-ridden backs is like
iy to be ripped off. The fact of
the removal of the cuticle being a
legalized operation does not miti-
gate the pain or hardship.
These taxes as before stated are
exhorbitantiy great and raised by
unequal valuation, and consequently
unjust. Now II the Tribune wishes
to be as 1t has often stated, the
leading paper here. 1t has most
excellent opportunity. by making an
exhaustive investigation OF the tax
matter and laying the result before
its subscribers.
We want to know the instigators
and executors that we may remem-
ber them in our prayers.
Now as for trading with home
people. A few plain facts may help
to the enlightenment OF why some
do not SO trade.
With the possible exception of
Leadville, Greeley is probably the
dearest town to buy in in the state.
On January LIST found the prices
IN Boulder to be as follows: Coal,
s4.25 per ton; hams, 14c.; sugar,
cane. 20 pounds for s1.OO; sugar,
beet. 81 pounds for s1OO; breakfast
foods, retailing in Greeley for 15c,
2 for Csc. retai1ed there for 1Oc:
some of those selling for 1Oc could
not be bought by the case in Greeley
for less than 12c; fresh meats, cloth
Ing, shoes and hardware were rela-
lively cheaper there.
In Windsor. sugar was advertised
Tor s4.95 per hundred; and 90 lbs.
Tor $1.0O; high patent -four. $3.50
per cwt.. and in 500 pound lots,

With those at home.
