Saws the Canon city Leader:

Says the Canon City Leader;
In its issue of March IA. this year,
the Leader declared In favor of Gen.
Jos. II. Maupin for governor of Colo
rado. This was done without consult
ing The general or obtaining his view
of the matter.
We stand by what we said at that
time, and will add considerable more
to 1t.
First, Gen. Maupin is a Democrat
and believes in progressive Democ-
racy. He is in thorough accord with
the platform of national Democracy.
as enunciated by the Baltimore CON
vention.
He has never mixed up with the
warning factions of the party and has
at all times placed his services at the
command of the party during cam
paigns and at ether times when the
advice of cool heads was needed in
party affairs.
Had he been machine politician
he could have had the nomination for
governor twelve years ago, but he
would make no promises to the polit-
ical bosses and even then lacked but
five votes of getting the necessary
majority.
And 1t is because he holds himself
absolutely aloof from boss or machine
rule that his nomination is being op-
posed by the chief boss of all the
bosses-T. NJ. Patterson.
He is SO well known throughout
Colorado that eulogy at this time is
not necessary.
II can be truthfully said of Gen.
Maupin that, If elected to the COVER
norship, he will have no interests to
serve other than those of the whole
people of the state. He will be the
/ tool of no corporation or political fac.
tion. He will be governor.
This state during the coming ad.
ministratlon will have a great inter.
nal Improvement fund of approx.
mately one million dollars to be ex.
pended. General Maupin believes
that this fund should be HONESTLY

TAX RATE UNIMPORTANT
Equality of Valuation Is the Es-
sential in Just Taxes.
xIv.-THE RATE OF TAxATI ON

Al LII IVA Il VT 1AAA1 YIN
An entirely unwarranted Importance
is given in the popular discussion of
taxation to the rate of levy. 1t is
often discussed as if it were the main
factor in taxation. while as matter
of fact. the important factor is the
amount of money to be raised for pub
lie purposes in any taxing district. A
high rate, of course, is generally re-
garded with disfavor by investors.
One of the first questions asked by an
intending investor in lands or business
enterprises is: What is the rate of
taxation? If it is high it discourages
him and he is very liable to regard
such community as an undesirable
place for investment.
knowledge of the several steps TAX
en- in the process of raising public
revenues, which prior articles have
fully explained, should show how err
roneous is this Importance given to
the rate. The rate is mathematical
convenience and may be high or low
without really affecting the amount of
taxes to be paid, for if assessed values
are high the rate will be low, and
vice versa; if assessed values are low
the rate will necessarily be high.
The very first step taken is the fix
ing of the amount of money to be
raised, and that. rather than the rate,
determines whether the tax will be
high or low.
When the amount of money to be
raised is determined the fixing of the
rate is simply matter of mathemati-
cal calculation. The assessed value
of the property and the amount of. re-
venue to be raised are the important
! features in the tax, the rate being
simply the factor used to compute the
proportion of the total tax that each
taxpayer should contribute.
Let US illustrate: Suppose a taxing
district having an assessed value of
81, 900, 900 desires to raise $40, 900
for public purposes by taxation. Clear
ly levy of 10 mills or one cent on
each dollar of assessed value would be
necessary to produce the required
amount Of revenue. Now suppose the
assessed value of the same property
was increased to $4,000. then 5
mills or one-half of one cent on each
dollar would be sufficient to produce
the required $4,000 In the first
case. AS property being assessed at
81, 900. he pays $1,000 in taxes: in
the second case, while his assessed
value has been doubled, the rate has
been cut in half. and he still pays
but $1,000 in taxes. The rate thus
becomes mere incident, and not al
all matter of first Importance.
It is. however, of great Importance
that assessed values of the same
classes of property be on uniform
basis. In the first illustration giver
above. if BIS farm is assessed at So,
900 his taxes would amount to $50. OC
while his neighbor, C, with equally
J as valuable farm assessed at 1000
gets off with a tax of $4,000. But
the rate is not responsible for the dis
elimination in favor of C-either the
assessor or the board of review, Of
both failed to do their duty in thai
they did not equalize the assessments
between B and c. Equality rather
than the rate is the important feature
in any just system of taxation.
