A LOWER TAX RATE.
REDUCTION OF ONE-FOURTH PER
CENT FOR NEXT YEAR
BIG INCREASE IN VALUATION
CITY Commission Reduces Rate TO
Offset Increase in Valuation

While the exact figures for every
item of the city tax roll for next
year are not yet available, the bud
get has been made up approximate
ly and the city commission assures
us that the rate will be "a per cent,
a reduction of one-fourth per cent
from last years rate of per cent.
The assessment this year shows
a total increase in valuation over the
assessment for the previous year OF
S16S,S59. A large part of the Increase
is accounted for by the many new
buildings and the canning factory,
on the assessment roll for the first
time. There was also a substantial
increase in the assessment OF the
Menasha Wooden Ware Co.'s lots
and other property in Brooklyn. $2O,-
900 of the increase was in the as
sessment of the paper company.

member of the committee sPPointsd to
draw up this resolution.
Your entire Recommendation COS
sists of advising the miners to accept
the same conditions that nave existed
in the coal mines of Colorado for the
last ten years, and against which they
were compelled to strike.
Since you have been charitable
enough to admit that our strike is
justifiable, in ~ far as four Of tbs
seven demands are concerned, namely:
The right to have the mining laws en-
forced; the right to trade at any
store; the right to choose our ewn
doctor and board where We see fit.
The right to have . check weighnan
and the right to belong to the anioa
of our choice. Inasmueh as these are
state laws that have been violated BY
the operators for years, we fell grste-
full to you for your generosity.
In speaking of the demand for m
increase in wages, you say: "The
amount of money a miner can earn de-
pends on the amount of work he can
or is willing to perform" The infer
ence that miners are not willing t"
work, we consider an insult to their
intelligence and it is an indication that
it came from a prejudiced mind. Yod
state the average wage of coal Mn
er is approximately *4.oO day. If
this be true, why are we compelled to
strike for day wage of $3.45!
You also maintain that the wages
paid to coal miners in Colorado are
larger than in most other states. With
very little effort you could have
learned that the Wyoming day wage
scale is from $3.50 per day minimum
to - 90 per day, and the cost Of living
in the two states is practically the
same. You should at least make -
attempt to be fair.
Upon the question of recognition OF
the union, it seems to us that you afe
entirely ignorant of the absolute me-
cessity of the Miners Union being
recognized if the laws of the state are
to be enforced, to say nothing of the
settling of grievances arising in or
around the mines. This, We think, wss
made clear to you by the miners wLo
made their statement before yosr
meeting, and whose testimony Was
evidently disregarded, for had it not
been, surely you would have attempt
ed to offer some excuse for not consid.
ering it.
Let the public look at the names Of
the editors appointed by the chairman
to draft the resolution and it can be
readily seen why it fails to recognize
the miners rights. Frank 8. Hoag
Of the Pueblo Star; H. E. Bowden Of
the Trinidad Advertiser; L. C. Pad
dock Of the Boulder Camera; Fred
Marvin of the Pueblo Chieftain, arc
editors of papers that have bitterly
opposed the Miners Union ever since
the strike was called. Therefore, ON
behalf Of the Colorado coal miuerx
We positively refuse to consider your
proposition.
