CONCERNING TEACHERS.

With school beginning, the season
approaches when old fogy men de
plore the passing of men teachers.
and the effeminate influence of wo-
man in the school room. Which
causes Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. sup
erintendent of Chicago's city schools,
to arise and make few pointed re-
marks in defense of her sex in the
school room. Having won wide re-
pute and high position as an educa-
tor, she is in position to know what
she is talking about. Instead of find
ing the scarcity of men teachers in
the elementary grades deplorable, she
deems it good thing for the race.
The gentler sex as teachers does not
produce race of sissies or mollycod-
dies, but rather has needed refin-
ing Influence on young savages who
need it, and there are still plenty of
men teachers in colleges and the ad-
ministrative positions of the public
schools.
Which may be the sensible view of
the case. At least one may as well
let it go at that since men, who ap-
portion the pay of the preceptors, are
not disposed to pay enough for the
lower grades to induce men to stay.
Besides, there isn't the demand for
men teachers there was in the brave
days of old when needed qualifi-
cation of teacher was the ability
to whip boys of all ages. There may
be faults and fads enough in the pres
ent system of pedagogy, but to as
sumo it hasn't improved since we
were pupils is showing too great a
reverence for the dear, dead past.
Such a belief would also indicate that
people who make life work of
teaching know less about it than a
ayman thinks he does because he
went to school once on a time, or
possibly taught in the early days
when nothing better offered.-Atch-
inson Globe.

KEEP THE TAXES DOWN.

The following from the Denver Re-
publican applies equally well to Du-
rango and La Plata county:
THE one fact which stands out
silently in the present confusion con-
corning taxation is that the people
will resent any increase in the sum
actually raised for administrative
revenue. The full valuation bill com
pels assessors to list all property at
its full cash value instead of on the
one-third basis as heretofore. The
only legitimate course for the city
and state officials is to reduce the
levy in the same proportion. This is
simple sum in arithmetic. If the
valuation of property is returned as
three times greater than it has been
the rate Of levy must be only one
third as high.
"The rate of the state levy of the
special assessment for parks, fire
ems pension fund, mountain parks
and the sinking fund are fixed by
charter. But when these rates were
decided upon it was on the assump-

UNJUST TAXATION.

This tax business is coming in for
much discussion these days. The
Herald is not alone in exposing the
inquities of the old system and pos
sibly the present unless the tax COM
mission becomes posted and possesses
the authority Of adjusting inequali-
ties. Listen to this from the Colo
rado Springs Telegraph;
Somehow or other the county of
El Paso always seems to pay more
than its equitable proportion of the
state taxes. We have been satisfied
that for years Ell Paso has paid
more than Denver or Pueblo or other
first-class counties, considering the
actual value of the property in these
respective counties.
And now that the new form of as
sessment has been made, at actual
cash value, instead of on a one-third
basis as before, the same inequality
exists. The table prepared by the
state tax commission shows three
things:
The total tax last year multiplied
by three;
The 1913 total assessment;
The assessors return of 1913 trip
led.
For FL Paso county the tax of last
year multiplied by three shows: $67,-
227 900.
The 1913 total valuation, including
public utilities, is s69,696,0O0.
The assessors return this year,
without the public utilities, is $751;
$4,000.
This shows that the actual valua-
ton this year, including the public
utilities, is more than three times
what it was last year in this county.
II is $69,0o0,o00, as against s67,oO0,-
900.
But in Denver county is situation
is different. Her last years valua-
ton multiplied by three would be
s401 100000, whereas her total value
is now set down at 1901 100000. FL
Paso has multiplied by three, but
Denver has not.
In Pueblo county: Her last years
valuation multiplied by three would
be sS4,000,000, whereas her total is
set down this year at s60,OOo,o0o.
In other words, III Paso county's
total under the full valuation plan
is made S69,0O0,OO0, while Pueblo's
valuation is made $60,000,00O. Thus
the total actual value of property in
El Paso county is about $4,000, 900
more than the full value of property
in Pueblo county.
We leave these figures for the tax
payers of Ell Paso to consider. IF
they think they are just and equit-
able and represent the true status of
affairs between this and other coun-
ties they will rest easy. Otherwise
they should certainly demand relief
at the hands of the state board of
equalization.

There remain 6s2,O0O,0OO acres Of

Rather more than enough land to

the fiscal year 1911-12. The remain
ing land, if it were all available
would support sparse grain-grow-
ing population of 100000, not
counting some millions more in the
cities created thereby; or a denser
farming population of 60,OO0,OOO. OF
course it is not all available. Much
OF the land will apparently always
remain worthless. Much can be
made useful by drainage, dry-farm-
ing, terracing or irrigation. The
proportion Of land so reclaimed will
depend upon economic conditions and
the pressure of population. But
there is certainly room for some mil
lions more Of farming population

You have often heard of the town
of Medicine Hat, in Canada. Medicine
Hat is mentioned in connection with
most weather reports, as it is con-
sidered the coldest town in winter,
and the hottest town in summer. A
gentleman who lately travelled over
the Canadian Pacific says Medicine
Hat is town Of 10000 people, and
1t all of its citizens are boosters.
Another town on the Canadian Pa
cific is called Moose Jaw. One would
naturally think of a town with such
name as an insignificant village,
ut Moose Jaw has population of
forty thousand.

Although the public is permitted
to know nothing as to the course of
the negotiations between the govern
ments of the United States and ia
pan respecting California's alien land
law, it is pretty certain to re-emerge
to public view in the form of law
suit fashioned to determine whether
that statute conforms to Japan's
treaty rights or conflicts with them.
The statute, indeed, stipulates that
nothing in it is intended to violate
whatever rights Japanese may have
by reason of any treaty this coun-
try may have entered into with ia
pan, so that logically the next step
is to determine what are Japan's
treaty rights.

tion that taxes were to be based on
a one-third valuation. The intent is
so PLAIN as to leave no possibility
Of doubt. The people would never
have voted l-3 mills for parks and
one-half mill for mountain parks if
they had known that their proper
ty was to be returned at its full
value.
''1he bill passed by the nineteenth
general assembly authorizes the state
to collect Is per cent more revenue
from general taxation than was rails
ed under the old system. If this is
done, in order to keep the total of
taxes down to the same amount as
last year, the local officials must
prune expenses below those of 1912
rather than raise them.
while it is true that the rates for
certain purposes are fixed by law it
is also true that the park boards can
keep the amount used below the fix
ed rate. The school board, the park
boards and the city commissioners
have it in their power to do the city
a distinct service by refusing to take
advantage of e. technicality of the
law. The citizens of Denver want
lower, not higher, taxes They want
economy of administration. The Of
ficlals in power should bear this in
mind and adapt their expenses to the

Rhoady Kennehan is undecided
whether he will be candidate for
governor or state treasurer year
hence. The treasurer's office pays
$4,000 year while the governor only
rakes down $4,000. That he will be
a candidate goes without saying.
Most men when they have been elect
ed auditor and then treasurer step
down, but Kennehan and Leddy go on
the principle of relation and until
the voters sit down good and hard on
them they will keep going from aud
itor to treasurer and from treasurer

Denver kicks against paying her
just proportion of state taxes which
is about one-third. On the other
hand no one ever heard of Denver
kicking because three-fourths of the
state tax is spent in that city. This
is horse Of different color. Again,
all the state pays tribute to Dem
yer. When nine out of ten of the
residents of the state get little
money ahead they go to Denver to
spend it and have good time. It's
outside people who keep up the place.
On the other hand show US the Dem

spend their money. Instead they
hike off to Chicago, New York and

GAS-BAG PATRIOTISM.

A correspondent intimates that
Governor Colquitt of Texas, who is
painfully excited because the United
States stands idly by" while Ameri-
can citizens are being murdered" in
the -'rebellious republic" (Mexico), !,
can endure the lynching Of negroes
in Texas without great disquietude.
Whatever the governors record
may be there would certainly be moth
ing homogeneous in the dual role. In
fact, those superheated patriots who
rant over unconfirmed rumors of the
ill-treatment of Americans in for
eign lands are very apt to exhibit a
singular apathy when as examina-
tion Of their own house is proposed.
a large and lofty display of the war
spirit, an explosion of gassy militar-
ISM, appeals to them far more strong
ly than the certain administration of
Justice at home.
Nor is it matter of critical i'm
2ortance in lynching bee that the
ictims of injustice should be Ameri-
cans and negroes. Foreigners have
suffered as well, and the gassy sort
1f patriots have been Indifferent be-
ause it isn't their cue to make them
ielves violently conspicuous on such
occasions. In March, 1891, eleven
men of Italian nativity were lynched
ut New Orleans and the national gov
eminent was humiliated by its in
ability to respond in a satisfactory
manner to representations made by
the Italian minister. The subject
vas discussed by President Harrison
n his annual message and eight
Years later we find President McKin-
ley going over the same grounds and
saying, For the fourth time in the
present decade question has arisen
With the government of Italy in re-
gard to the lynching of Italian sub
jects."
There have been many incidents of
the kind in which persons of other
natlonalities have been the victims,
and that, too, in times of profound
peace when the arm of government
was not crippled, but they would
have been tame affairs for the lingo
newspapers and bawling orators who
want our soldiers to eat up the Mex
leans. These specialists in the gay
sport of making the eagle scream
care naught for them. They assume
that their flattered audience will
olandiy accept the theory of their
own perfection and gasp with horror
at unsupported assertions concern
ing outrages upon Americans in for
eign parts. Indeed it is not neces-
sary that there should be any out
RACES. If such citizens had their way
we should be plunged into war over
the repetition of the widest stories
OF outrages that were wholly mag
mary.
As lynching is no cure for crimes
that may be committed in this coun-
try but is a crime itself from which
the innocent have suffered, so the
gassy patriotism is a menace and not
a help for the Americans now In
Mexico. What We should get at first
is the truth. Then we should pro-
eeed to act as the truth dictated. We
should also reflect that there act
ually is rebellion or revolution in
the southern republic, that the ques-
ton of responsibility is all the more
difficult on that account, and we
should endeavor in every way pos
sible to discriminate justly, and not
act as if it were our immediate duty
to establish the court of Judge Lynch
IN our neighbor's territory.-Record-
