WHY HE is FOR WAR

The editor of this paper, having
long passed the age Of drafting, de-
sires war with Mexico for several rea
sons, says the Washington, (Kansas)
Palladium. In the first place, Mexico
needs licking; second, a licking
would be a good thing for Mexico;
third, licking for Mexico would be
good thing for us; fourth, we need
more territory, and slice off the
north end of Mexico, the best part
of the country, could be utilized to
advantage after all greasers had been
killed off; fifth, the Democrats need
a pension list-a lot of old soldiers
who would stand up to the rack and
vote the Democratic ticket and vote
'er straight and ask no questions
about qualifications. There are 9th
er reasons why we ought to have a
war with Mexico, but these are the
principal ones.

FULL VALUATION LEVY
OPPRESSES MINE OPRATORS

Colonel R. l.. Martin, who is inter
ested in mines in Clear Creek, Gilpin
and Boulder counties, claims that the
full cash valuation of properties is
threatening the future of the mining
business in Colorado.
He says the mine operators felt
that they were oppressed under the
one-third valuation system, but claim
mands that mills and shaft houses
and other buildings be assessed at
cost value, despite depreciation from
age and wear. Colonel Martin says
that claims which cost a man $3.50 in
fees to the government if patent has
issued, are held at $4O0 by the tax
commission, without regard as to
whether or not they are of produc-
tive value.
"The result of carrying out this
system of taxation" Mr.. Martin says,
will be to injure the mining in the
state. When it comes down to the
land tax, the simplest and most equit
able way to make the assessment,
would be to tax the survey. The as
sessing of parts Of claims as whole
claims is absolutely unjust.
obviously the mines cannot pros
per under the weight of taxation the
state imposes on them. The land tax,
improvement tax together with the
corporation tax and flat tax, as well
as that on full paid certificates, is
unjust, but the tax on gross output
hurts most.
This tax is a penalty for devel-
oping mines. can name score of
mines which yielded 100000 in ore
that has cost 100000 to produce. If
the owner must pay tax ON the out
put it is easy to see where he will
