Dear Madam: The work for

she loses for being away from home
Is very small in comparison with
what she gains. To a great major

vacation, a retirement from work.

others, but they want a servant In

Organize to Aid Farmers.

Denver.-Organizati of the Farm
ers' Finance Company was completed
at a meeting of the Chamber of Com
lnerce agricultural committee, when
officers were elected. The purpose of
the company is to further the develop
ment of the semi-arid districts of the
state.
The primary object of the company
is to give relief to farmers of eastern
Colorado, and other semi-arid portions
of the state, who have been unable to
make their farms pay. This aid, it is
expected, will enable each of the farm
ers to get new start along the right
lines. without doing business with
loan sharks.
The railroads running through the
so-calied dry farming" lands of east
ern Colorado have announced that
they will cooperate with the new com
pany and it is expected that the roads
will subscribe goodly portion of the
100000 stock to be issued as soon as
the company is incorporated.

State Must Return Santa Fe Tax.

Washington.-In decision handed
down in the Supreme Court by Justice
Holmes, Colorado was declared to
have exerted unconstitutional privi-
lege in collecting from the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railway tax Of
$7,629 under statute Of 1907, which
applies a license tax to foreign cor
porations. Under the terms OF the
statute itself, the judgment will have
the effect OF requiring the state treas
urer to return the amount to the rail-
way company. Justice Holmes de-
clared the tax exacted of the Santa Fe
is obviously unconstitutional. He cited
various cases involving telegraph COM
panies and the Pullman company,
wherein those concerns were absolved
from all but the original license fee to
do business in various states on
ground that the greater part of their
business was outside any single state.

New Law Would Aid Farmers.

Meeker-Should the bill now pend
ing before Congress, providing for the
reduction from five years to three OF
the time required by the government
in whivh to prove up on homestead fill
ings, become a law, its benefit to this
section will be untold. All over the
Western slope are dry farmers with
large families-poor men without a
dollar except what they earn during
the six months vacation previously
granted them out Of each year-who,
after the five years continual resi-
dence clause went into effect, were
able to retain their holdings only with
the greatest difficulty, and in num-
ber of instances, suffered want and
privation. Each Of these men, under
this new ruling, will be able to take
enough time from his own place to
earn money during the busy season to
carry his family through the rest Of
the year, and also help materially in
making improvements on the home
ranch.
