URGES ALL TO
VOTE FOR TAX
COMMISSION

Editor Sentinel:
| desire through the columns of
your paper TO call the attention of
the voter to the constitutions
amendment concerning the creation
OF tax commission
This is Il measure that, in my
Judgment, merits support. Students
of tax matters are universally of the
opinion that the power of taxation
and assessment should be placed un-
der one body, with full power and
authority, to the end that fair and
impartial valuation may be given to
all kinds and classes of property.
This law creates such a body, charged
with the specified duty of supervis-
ing the valuations of the whole state,
and have authority over county as
SCISSORS and boards of equalization.
II is their duty to visit. at least
once in two years, every county in
the state to ascertain the assessed
valuation of property and the rela-
tive value as compared with other
counties.
1t is manifestly unfair to assess
horses for an average value OF $40
in one county and in an adjoining
county at an average OF S2J; and the
same is uniformly true of other class
es of property.
AS now constituted, the state board
of equalization assesses all corporate
properties whose business extends in
two or more counties and the county
assessors the property. located In
their respective counties; therefore,
there is conflict of opinion between
the two assessing bodies.
This commission 10 ipynatol n
the power TO regulate all assessments,
both real and personal, of all prop
critics, and its members are required
to be experts and men having ex-
perience in matters pertaining to tax
alton; and, moreover, they constitute
n non-partisan conimission-they
cannot hold any other office of profit
or take part directly or indirectly
with any political organiza ton.
Also, they must be in session at all
times, and, therefore. have an op-
portunity to become reliably in
formed as to what constitutes fair
and equitable valuation of all kinds
and classes OF property.
The idea of state tax commission
is not new experiment, but has
been in successful operation in IA
states, notably Kansas and Wiscon-
sin, where it has resulted in a more
equitable distribution OF values.
The principal duties with which
the commission is charged are as
follows:
To visit each county and advise
assessing officers.
To hold annual conferences OF as
sessors.
To publish and distribute to as
SCISSORS book of instructions for use
in making valuations OF both real
and personal property. ='
To perform the duties of the state
board of equalization. F
To study tax systems and methods
of taxation and make recommepda-
tions to legislatures.
To classify all property for the
purpose of taxation, and all and ev-
erything pertaining to tax matters
of the entire state, to the end that
all property may bear it's Just pro-
portion Of the burden of taxation.
| believe that you will make mo
mistake in voting FOR this amend
ment. Yours truly,
JOHN T. BROWN.

TRYING TO FOOL
THE ROOSEVELT
VOTERS IN CITY

Efforts are being made to
make the followers of Roosevelt
in this county believe that they
can vote for Roosevelt and Cos
tigan and Griffith ONLY BY
WRITING THE NAME
PROGRESSIVE" at the top
of their ballot.
These efforts are being made
by those anxious to see EVERY
ONE OF THE CANDID
AIES ON THE TWO
FACED TICKET ELECTED.
If you write the name BULL
MOOSE or ROOSEVELT at
the head of your ballot you vote
for Roosevelt and the entire state
Roosevelt ticket, but you DO
NOT VOTE FOR THE TWO
FACED COUNTY TICKET.
Therefore, if you do not want
to vote for the two-faced county
ticket WRITE BULL MOOSE
OR ROOSEVELT at the head
of your ticket, and then place an
Y opposite the name of each
county candidate you want to
vote for, no matter what ticket
that candidate is on.
If you write the word PRO
gressive" at the head of your
ticket and do not scratch your
county ticket you will be voting
a STRAIGHT COUNTY RE-
PUBLICAN COUNTY TICK
EFT.
Mr.. Roosevelt Man, efforts
are being made to force you to
vote for ALL THE REPUBLI-
CAN COUNTY CANDID
AIES by advising you to vote a
straight Progressive ticket. Don't
be fooled.
II you vote straight FRO
gresslve ticket you are voting
AGAINST every candidate on
the democratic county ticket.
The statement, published each
morning, that if you write
ROOSEVELT or BULL
MOOSE at the head of your
ticket that ticket will be thrown
out and not counted is ABSO-
LUTELY FAizSE.
A ballot with the word
ROOSEVELT" or BULL
MOOSE" written at its head will
be counted for Roosevelt, COST.

!. TO VOTERS

The progressive party was organ
ized to meet an insistent demand.
No one living has ever before seen
great party organized and become a
contending force in twelve weeks
time. This can only be accounted
for on the ground of platform prom
ises that come closer to human needs
than any other party has dared he
fore to put forward. II you have
read 1t, go over it again and again.
1t ia an absolute contract with the
people, and does more to adjust con-
ditions on square deal basis than
any party pledge ever placed before
the people.
Now, in the closing hours of this
great campaign, give us all the per-
sonal effort that you can. The work
up to date has been largely done by
volunteers without hope Of reward.
and We wish now to thank you for
your efforts.
Remember that We have two pro-
gressive candidates on the state tick
et-Ben Griffith for attorney gener-
al and Winton c. Knight for auditor
OF state-who are from GRAND
JUNCTION. Give them an extra
boost.

RANCH AND FARM.

Ole Christensen OF. Halliday sold his
cattle to Mr.. Abbott at So per round.
They made him good money and he
doubts if he could have made better had
he shipped.
What better advice can be given the
farmer at this time than to lay in a
stock. of as good heifers as he can get
hold of? Get the best high grades or
pure BREEDS available.
C. A. Brobere of New Engl and has
one of the best yields that has yet been
reported. His oats yielded better than
ninety bushels to the acre by the ma
chine measure. The oats weigh out
better than forty pounds to the bushel
and he figures that this would make his
yield over 100 bushels to the
acre. Part of his wheat went 80 BUSH
els to the acre but the rest of the
wheat makes his average 26 bushels to
the acre.
The biggest story yet from Marmarth
Mail is as follows: The biggest yield
reported in this part of the state or any
part of the state is reported by A. Bra
dac, who has a homestead on the
Beaver flats, up six miles from town.
Mr.. Bradac sowed four bush els of blue
stem wheat, as he claims at the rate of
n bushel per acre and the machine
measure gave him 2SO bushels of
wheat. This would be at the rate of
10 bushels per acre, but other neiehbors
of Mr.. Bradac think that the patch is
about five acres in extent. But even
so. this would give a yield of.56 bushels
to the acre. Be the ground as.it may.
Mr.. Bradac testifes. and is backed up
by witnesses, that he harvested ESQ
bushels of No. 1 blue stem from four
bushels of Seed"

for Friday and Saturday does moi

earn their livelihood by shaking dice
with death.
No more opportune time could have
been. decided upon than the dates
selected for the Richmond auto races
and this accounts for the large num-

tered.
And with no other motor event tc
share the interest of the speed world
there Is little wonder In the fact thai
the automobile kingdom is paying
more than passing interest to the
program set for Friday and Satur-
day.
All that remains now TO place Rich
mond in the acyteiene light as no
other city in the South has ever been
presented Is good weather. From all
sides, as far away as Norfolk and
Washington and, In fact, York. Pa,
are coming inquiries about the great
speed meet and unless all guesses are
away from the bulls eve the race track
both Friday and Saturday will pre-
sent an appearance second only to the
great courses over which the famous
| road classics are run.
The latest arrival among the noted
slaredevils is Louis Dlshrow. Of New
York. Louie as he is known in the
| speed world has been the sensation OF
the past season and has lowered more
worlds dirt track marks than all the
other drivers in America combined.
