WHAT THE COURT HELD IN
THE ARNOLD-HILTS CASE

In the Arnold Hits case, the court
held that Arnold should have extend
cd the three mill levy as directed by
the city officials; that when he de-
clined to extend it, the mayor had the
right to oust him and appoint some
one else but that Hits went about
getting the office in the wrong way;
that when Arnold refused to vacate,
Hits should have gone into court in
stead Of taking crowbar. Arnold is
reinstated but there is strong inti-
nation to Hits to start proper pro-
ceedings and he will get the position
in short while. In the meantime the
extension Of the three mill levy by
Hits Is declared valid.
In what is termed the three mill
levy case the court practically re-
verses itself again in the old Rush bill
case. The first time decision was
rendered in this case, it was to the
effect that there were two sets of Of
ficers; county and city, in Denver and
that the Rush bill did not consoli-
date them. Then the present court
rendered an opinion to the effect that
there was one set of offices and the
Rush bill did consolidate them. Yes
terday's opinion is to the effect that
there are two sets of offices but that
one set Of men can perform both sets
of duties. The court holds that the
city council can extend and collect a
mill levy for city purposes and that
the board of supervisors can extend
and collect mill levy for county pur-
poses and that both sets of officials
acting together can spend the moneys
collected from both sources. They
hold that the board of supervisors was
within its power when it assessed a
three mill levy for county purposes
and thus went outside the charter
provision limiting the amount of mon-
ey that could be assessed for city pur-
poses. In other words while the city
assessment is limited, the officials car
make a county assessment which must
be paid.
On the whole, the day was COM
plete victory for the city hall crowd
so far as final results were concerned

THOUSANDS CAPTURE ARNOLD
AND PARADE CITY STREETS

Assessor Henry J. Arnold was ac-
corded an unusual ovation yesterday
afternoon by several thousand people
who had gathered on the downtown
streets to demonstrate their approval
of the decision of the supreme court
in upholding the right of the people
to determine the form of government
and reinstating Assessor Arnold in the
office Mayor Speer and his gunmen
forced him to vacate on Dec. Ia.
At $3.50 o'clock shout of Lets go
and get Arnold" was sent up and met
with ready acquiescence on the part
of the crowd. Led by several automo-
biles, the crowd went to Arnold's Of
flee in the Temple Court building, Fif-
teenth and California streets. He was
induced to head an impromptu parade
which proceeded up Fifteenth street to
fremont street, thence over to Six
teenth street and down Sixteenth to
Arapahoe street Denver News.

BOW SWEET,

There is an engaged couple In Atchi-
son who live in adjoining houses.
Their bedrooms are SO close that they
can stick their heads out Of the win
dow and talk to each other. At night
whom they 60 to bed the young man
ties string around his wrist and
tosses the other end over to the girl.
If either one awakens in the night a
jerk on the string arouses the other
and they get up and wave to let the
other know that "sll's we'll" In an
other neighborhood there is another
engaged couple. The young man is
something of lineman and he has
constructed private telephone lead
ing from his bedroom to the bedroom
of the girl. They lie in bed at night
and talk to each other by the hour and
no one can hear them.

the interstate commerce commission
to such an extent that the government
has practically completely control over
our great transportation systems-a
control which has been exercised so
wisely, that while the rights of the
people have been carefully safeguard
ed, the business Of the railroads has
not been unnecessarily disturbed.
The platform promised to promote
the welfare of the railroad employees
by proper legislation for their safety
and by the enactment of an employees
liability law that should be within the
requirements of the constitution as
pointed out by the supreme court. The
pledge was promptly fulfilled and a
law is now imbedded in the statutes
doing away with the old rule of con-
tributory negligence. A step beyond
the platform promise has been taken
through the enactment of beneficent
laws touching the use of safety APP
pliances on railroads which look to
the protection of their employees from
every avoidable accident.
The platform promised a child labor
law for the District of Columbia that
should serve as a model for the states.
Such law has been passed.
The platform promised the estab-
lishment of mining bureau. That
has been done and the life of every
miner in the United States is less ex-
posed to danger because of the great
work this bureau is doing.
The platform promised to maintain
the efficiency of the army and navy.
That has been done.
The platform promised to follow up
the conservation policy upon which the
Roosevelt administration had entered.
That has been done by the passage of
laws which will make impossible the
exploitation or mobilization of the
mineral wealth of the public domain.
The platform promised that the best
of efforts would be made to extend
the foreign commerce of the United
States. For the first time our exports
last year passed the billion dollar
mark.
The platform promised statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona. Their stars
are on the flag.
In a word, with few exceptions Of
minor Importance every pledge given
to the people of the United States by
the Republican party in its platform
of 1908 has been written into the law.
Nor do these accomplishments of
the Taft administration make any ref
erence to those achievements which
were outside the platform promises,
which are in peculiar sense the
achievements of the president himself
the superb tact and skill with which
our diplomacy has met the problems
of international intercourse, the intro
duction of business methods into the
departments at Washington, effecting
economies reaching in the aggregate
many millions of dollars; and the ne
gotiations of treaties with France and

A REMARKABLE PRESIDENT.

The more one carefully and consci-
entiously analyses the work of Presi-
dent Taft and his accomplishments,
the more one marvels at the actual
results.
A careful analysis of this kind must
surely impress the unprejudiced citi-
zen with the really wonderful accom-
plishments of the present national ad-
ministration.
Those who have an open mind, and
are anxious to do justice to the presi-
dent cannot fail to be influenced by a
study of this sort.
A review of the achievements of the
administration of William H. Taft will
show that it has come more nearly
writing into law every pledge contain
ed in the platform upon which it was
elected than any preceding admins
tration in the nations history.
The platform promised tariff revi-
sion at special session of congress
Immediately following the inaugura-
ton of the president. That pledge
was kept. The tariff was revised, as
promised, in the interest of all the
people. That revision did not close q
single American factory or reduce the
wages of any American workingman
and in the first year of its operation
it converted deficit of forty millions
into a surplus of twenty millions. II
contained maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for its products
into foreign markets upon as favora-
BILE terms as the products of any other
nation. 1t provided corporation tax
which has brought twenty-five mil
lions of dollars year into the treas
ury, besides compelling a degree of
corporation publicity which has had a
most wholesome effect. 1t provided a
tariff board, which, if permitted to
continue will bring the possibility Of
informed, impartial, scientific tariff
revision. The Payne law was full
fillment in good faith of the platform
pledge and it has been a boon, not a
bane, to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of a more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised to
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made its report in
fulfillment Of that pledge.
The platform promised to establish
a system of postal savings banks.
That promise was promptly fulfilled
The platform promised an effective
enforcement of the Sherman act. The
columns of the daily papers for the
past two years have borne ample tes-
timony to the faithfulness with which
that promise has been kept.
The platform promised certain
amendments to the interstate COM
merce law. That promise was kept
by the enactment Of the commerce
court statute; broadening the power of
