Non-partisan Meeting Hears Speak
ers OF All Political Parties ON
Proposed Laws

Windsor, Oct. 3O-An interesting
discussion of proposed amendments
and issues of the present campaign
was held last night in the High

was non-partisan, it being the pur-
pose of it to present the pros and
cons of the issues involved in order
that the voters might gain as much
enlightenment as possible concern
ing them and might be prepared to
vote intelligently next Tuesday.
Several of the best local speakers
of the democratic, republican and
progressive parties were on hand to
present their sides of the questions
as they came up for disposal, and
the result was an Interesting and
instructive discussion OF the main
issues with a brief outline OF pro-
posed amendments which are to be
passed or rejected by the voters in
the coming election.

SWEDISH
FARMERS
WRITING
LETTER no THE TRIBUNE
PLACES ESTIMATE OF Dis
TRICT ATTORNEY FROM VIEW
POINT OF HIS OWN PEOPLE
Greeley, Colo. Oct. 20. 1912.

Greeley, Colo, Oct. 20, 1912.
To the Editor of The Tribune
AS a plain Swedish farmer may
say word in regard to Mr.. Carl
sons condidacy for District Attor-
ney.
Four years ago Mr.. Carlson
hatched up the suggestion of having
Swedes go into political cam
paign as Swedes and demand GER
tain things as Swedes and not as
American citizens.
The thing that he demanded, for
the movement was principally his
own, was his nomination for Dis
trict Attorney. He got it. Since
that time Mr.. Bolander was elected
County Commissioner. Mr.. Boland-
er unfortunately got mixed IN
gang of rogues and was finally in
dicted for malfeasance in office.
A great deal of talk has been in
dulged in in regard to his guilt or
innocence and the Indictment has
been kept in court over year by
Mr. Carlson and the charge has been
kept over Bolander's head that long
in order, presumably, that the peo-
Pile might give Mr.. Carlson the
credit of catching CRATER. Then
suddenly, just before election, in
order, presumably, to gain votes
among the Swedes by making them
think he had done a great service
to Mr. Bolander, he voluntarily dis
misses the case in such a way that
no one knows what the evidence
was. 1t seems to me that II he
really wanted to do Mr.. Bolander
favor he should have gone to trial
and let the evidence be shown
against him and if it did not amount
to anything he could have publicly
had Mr.. Bolander acquitted by a
jury and everyone would have
known he was innocent. The way
! the matter has been handled leaves
the thing in the shade and casts Il
stain that will remain with Mr.. Bo-
lander through life. A public ac-
quittal and public knowledge of
the evidence would have been a
complete exoneration. 1t seems to
me that all the Swedes have ever
got from Mr. Carlson is the oppor-
tunity OF serving his selfish interest
and nothing but public ridicule in
return.
He is now seeking to make the
Swede people an element of this
campaign but the people of his ma
tionality are on to his tricks and
think should refuse to go into
scramble in which they are in no
wise concerned and which brings
them no reward.
Let Mr.. Carlson fight his own
battles as an American citizen and
leave the Swedish people out of it
is my motto. A Swede Farmer.

USES SHOVEL

Eaton, Oct. 3U-A. F. Lincoln,
who lives on a farm near here, is
nursing sore head this week as
the result of an alteration with
Ralph Clark, who, it is alleged,
struck Lincoln over the head with a
shovel when the latter started to
trounce him as an outcome of the
areument.
Clark was feeding sheep for his
father on the farm occupied by
Lincoln when, for some cause un-
known at this time, an argument
arose. 1t is understood that Lin
coin started to slap Clark, who is
not a large man, and that the con-

make up for the difference in the

AGAINST
SCHOOLS
MEASURE
COLORADO SPRINGS CHAMBER
H COMMERCE. TRYING no DE-
FEAT SOCIAL CENTER AMEND
MENT no BE VOTED ON

Colorado Springs. Oct. 30-That
the adoption of the proposed
"school and social center amend
ment" will lead to confusion, in
creased taxation. litigation and
chaos in the school affairs OF the
commission governed cities OF the
state and would seriously affect any
city which might in the future de-
sire to adopt the commission form
of government, is the opinion OF the
Colorado Springs Chamber Of Com
.merce. That organization has is-
sued an appeal to the voters to de-
feat this proposed amendment.
In report submitted by the
legislative and educational commit
tees, it is stated that while the bill
provides that Denver may take over
its schools, the commission cities,
including Colorado Springs. Pueblo
and Grand Junction are required to
take immediate charge of the
schools. This would mean that the
rest OF the state, by approving the
amendment, would be forcing an
unwelcome measure on these cities
in 4 matter which they should have
the right to decide for themselves.
While the object of the bill is
stated to have been primarily to
provide for wider use of the
school buildings, competent attor-
neys agree that all the benefits to
be derived from this bill already
exist in the general laws and are
now within the power and control
of the existing boards of education.
Another matter Of vital consider
alton is the fact that the adoption OF
this amendment would deprive many
school districts of the revenue from
millions of dollars worth OF taxable
property without any appreciaoie
reduction In expenses. In Colorado
Springs this would place outside tne
present school district property
assesses at $4,000 while in Pueblo
It would deprive one school district
of 20 per cent of its revenue.

Oity Attorney Ewing, who atfended
meeting yesterday afternoon in
Governor Shafroth's office in Dcnver
having for its object . genegA re-
duction in the fire insurance rates
in effect in Colorado. This useeting
was attended by representative Of
Commercial bodies and cities from
all parts of the state. Ways and
means were discussed for securing
u reduction in rates and 1t Wae op-
emily charged that the in0sRance
agents Of the state were in . COM
bination to keep rates at . maximum
figure in Colorado.
The city OF Greeley il going to
-rter the fight from the start. The
city attorney and Alderman Bullock
were appointed q committee from
the council to take up the matter at
once. 1t is probable that their first
step will be to ask for a reclassif1Ca-
tiOn OF Greeley.
Mr.. Ewing's Investigations show
that Greeley is now paying a hiAher
rate OF insurance than in 1900, re-
gartlless Of the fact that in October,
1910, a new gravity system water-
works was installed in the city and
modern fire fighting apparatus was
installed.

This proposed amendment. If
