HEAVY TAX COLLECTION DUR
ING THE MONTH OF
FEBRUARY

The tax collections at the Office of
County Treasurer T. B. Moore during
February were approximately $780,
900 and for the first thirteen days in
this month they were in round num-
bers $4,000, "A record unsurpassed in
any previous year. 1t should be ex-
planned, however. that the large
amount credited to March was, in re-
ality. received prior to February IS,
at which time the first half of the
taxes became delinquent under the
law. Checks were placed in the
hands OF the treasurer by many peo-
pie three or four weeks ago in liqui-
dation of their taxes for the purpose
of avoiding the payment OF interest,
but no entries made upon the books
or receipts given until this month on
account of the rush of business in the
Office during the last few days of
February. Treasurer Moore and his
assistants are greatly pleased with
the promptness with which taxes have
been paid this year and of the splen-
did manner in which they have been
able to handle the business.

BIG THINGS PLANNED BY
CIVIC Improvement LEAGUE

Among the big things planned By
the executive committee OF the Canon
City Civic Improvement League for
realization this spring is the annual
Cleanup day celebration, to be OBJ
served on Arbor day in April. and a
flower festival. similar to those that
have been so successfully carried out
by various towns on the Pacific coast
during the last few years. TO be held
some time during the month of May
Governor Shafroth this year will rec
ommend in his Arbor day prociama-
ton that the event be made the occa-
sion of a general cleanup in all OF
the communities of the state, as well
as one for the planting of trees,
shrubs and flowers, and Canon City
will heartily enter into the spirit of
the celebration.
The flower festival Will. probably,
last for two days and promises to be
an event Of more than local interest
Mrs. w. Boucher will have general di-
rection Of the affair which is a guar
antee of its success. The dates OF the
festival have not yet been decided up
on, but it will likely be held In con-
nection with the formal dedication OF
the new scenic highway to the top OF
the Royal Gorge, at which time It is
expected that Governor Shafroth and
other state officers viii be present. II
the ambitions Of the league are reaii-
zed the flower festival will mark a
distinct epoch in the history of such
celebrations In the Arkansas valley
and will attract hundreds of visitors
here from the surrounding towns. The
cooperation of the Business Mems
association will be solicited and every
effort made to make the affair a no
table one.
The Civic Improvement League Will
distribute shade trees for those who
desire them for planting along the
public streets and in the parks on
Arbor day and will encourage all eff
forts in the direction OF a city beau
uful." 1t is planning the establish
ment of public tennis grounds at some
convenient spot near the center of the
city where visitors may enjoy healthy
sport and recreation. 1t has also in
contemplation the purchase OF a
spraying machine for the destruction
OF dendellons and othe- noxious plants
In private lawns and along the public
streets. which VIII be rented at a

MANY LIKED THE
MAN OF The HOUR"

One Of the greatest political plays
ever written was presented at the os-
os theatre last night. An average
crowd saw the performance A larger
audience would certainly have been
there if the majority OF the people of
the town had not been interested in
real live political problem of their
own at the various ward caucuses.
The Man of the Hour" is a play
of vital interest to most everyone who
is interested at all in politics. 1t
shows the great corruption and mar
velous graft that few shrewd men
OF immoral character can stir up and
it also displayed the fact that a man
who has will-power, backbone, and
character, can oust and put to shame
even the most unprincipled grafters
when he determines to do SO. Alvin
Bennett. Harry English) did 1t in
The Man of the Hour" despite the
fact that his pathway was often OBJ

was little slow 1t was well acted. as

John Morris, who played Mr.. Horri-
gan and Mr.. Phelan, respectively. Of

PASS THE COMPLETE ORDINANCE

II was the sense of the meeting of
tho hoard Of directors of the Cham
bor OF Commerce Yesterday that the
hoard of Aldermen should. acting for
the best interest of all the people Of
Richmond, pass the plan for better
form OF city government Just as II
comes to them from the Common Coun-
Gil. This action is significant, because
1t represents the views OF a body OF
men who not only stand for the bust
ness Interests of the city. but like
wise are In touch with and know the
opinions of thousands of their en-
ployes in commercial and industrial
enterprises.
This View is the best one and it is
the right one. If the Board of Alder
men will pass the whole plan without
altering a single sentence or injecting
even comma. the matter will end
right there. If amendments arc al
lowed, the whole matter will go back
TO the Common Council, and time will
he lost and the whole plan may be
torn to pieces, never to he put to-
Ecthcr again a vote against the or
dinance as it now stands will be a
vote to kill 1t.
The .lldermen who vote solidly for
this whole ordinance next Tuesday
night will record themselves as the
friends OF the people of Richmond :
those who vote otherwise Will be re-
ncn'bcrcd by the people as rcprcsen-
tativcs who lodged the issue. were led
by demagogucs, and who deliberately
blocked the progress of tie city ana
tho welfare Of every one of it's citi-
zens.
