able, nor would anyone care, after hav-
ing resisted the making of the expert
ment, to fall into foreboding of how its
crying is futile when milk is actually
spilled it is even worse before the
bucket is seen to be kicked over. There
will be earnest and active cooperation
tions in life to make this experiment a
success. There is no man who will
not earnestly seek to readjust himself
and his affairs to the new conditions.
Things must get better or they must
get worse. If that was not the piew
of the administration, why was the
prosperous condition of the country
tampered with by party in the mi
nority of much more than a million
votes on the issue between 1t and all
of its divided opponents? The Demo
Gratis have legislated in a sincere hope
of making good better. All that Amer
ican ingenuity and enterprise can do
under the new conditions is going to
be done to justify Mr.. Wilson's optim-
istic belief that opening all our ports
to the world will open all the worlds
ports to us, if we meet our new COM
petitors there, as here. with prices cut
to lower levels of cost in production.
We have, as official statistics prove,

ducing the cost price, that Mr.. Will

larly when he has power to make us

Pitcher After Tax Commission.

THE Colorado tax commission is
showing an utter disregard for the law
1t has manipulated the railriad assess
ments of the state with no apparent
consideration for the provisions of the
tax laws. Now it is revising the coun-
ty valuations fixed by the assessors in
accordance with the state constitution.
1t is doing it behind closed doors, un-
der authority claimed through a legis-
lative act whic hdoes the unheard of
thing of granting the power to set
aside official performances of con-
stitutional officer. Is there 'jobbing'
going on behind the closed doors at the
state house. as appears to have hap
pened in the assessing of railroads."
Finance Commissioner Pitcher Of
Denver made the above comments
when the state tax commission let an
other day pass with a repetition OF
primises that its report of equalized
county valuation is about TO be made.
The failure of the state officials to
report their findings October l upon
the comparative valuations OF the
counties and the changes to be recon-
mended for the purpose of equaliza-
ton is also criticised by Mr.. Pitcher.
He cites the tax statutes of 1911, in
which October / is set as the date on
or before which the state tax commits
sion is required to certify its report to
the state board of equalization.
The tax commission" said Mr..
Pitcher, has broken the law in hold.

FIERCE BATTLE AT COAL
CAMP NEAR TRINIDAD

Beginning at 3: 30 o'clock Tuesday af
ternoon, according to telegraphic re-
ports, a battle occurred between scores
of striking miners and mine guards
at the tent colony at the Ludlow coal
camp, near Trinidad, in which one
mine guard was shot through the leg,
two strikers were wounded, horses
were killed from under mine gurads
and many houses were riddled with
bullets. The fight came to an end two
hours lates, few minutes before the
arrival of Sheriff Grisham at the head
of five undersheriffs and twenty-five
members of the state militia who had
been deputized as sheriffs.
The trouble btween the union men
and the mine guards began when the
chief electrician and superintendent
of Victor mine passed the tent colony
hin an automobile bound for Hastings
AS the machine entered the zone con-
itrolled by the strikers several shots
we're fired at them. Bullets pierced
the engine hood, but did not strike the
occupants OF the car. u Hey lHiIleul-
ately turned back to the Victor proper
ty and obtained an escort of six mount
ed and armed guards and resumed
their journey.
Again as the car with its guards
reached the tent colony shots We're
fired at them, this item from a scroe of
rifles. For an hour or more the fight
continued at a range of from a half to
three-quarters of mile, practically
out of bullet range.
The battle centered about the Colo

died with bullets. any narrow escapes
from meath or injury from wild firing
were reported The miners drive the
guards from station and used boxcars
as barricades. When the firing ceased
the mine guards retreated to the Vic
tor property, carrying their wounded
with them.
Upon the arrival of the sheriffs pos
see It found everything in the strik-
ers' cmap as peaceful as If nothing un-
usual had occurred Only the carcasses
of the two dead horses near the rail-
road station and hundreds of shells on
lhte ground gave evidence of a riot. A

Making an Experiment.

A new economic law, destined to ma
ably, the prosperity of nation, can in
spire but one feeling among its people.
The act being consummated party lines
must disappear in the universal wish
that the inevitable change will be for
the better and not the worse. When the
senate passed the tariff bill which had
previously passed the house, AMI was
certain to be approved by the president
because largely of his own making, an
economic revolution in the United
States was practically completed. All
business was set on a new basis. The
presidents signature became but le-
gal formality needed to effect the revo-
luton. Conditions of trading were
changel. Values were unsettled and
prices of labor, material and all the ell
ements of cost in the making of prod
ucts were opened to readjustments.
Competition was enlarged without a
portunities of labor, unless the new
competition in prices can be met and
overcome. The readjustment is so
sweeping and pronounced that we need
hardly quote the Democratic leader,
Underwood of Alabama, for the indica-
ton of it's radical character.
But Mr. Underwood is well worth
quoting in any indication of what has
been the standard of realjustment now
effected He points out that tariff re.
duction in the new law has gone much
farther than in the last previous read.
justment of this kind, made in the
Democratic tariff law of 1886. We are
accordingly going farther now than the
Democrats were willing to go under the
last Cleveland administration in apply
ing old economic theories to new indus
trial conditions. We are entering upon
the experiment of displacing an eco
nomic law which, in its application tC
these new industrial conditions, has
given the country half a generation o.
large prosperity, to return to one make
for other cinditions AMI under the ope
ration of which no equal degree o
prosperity ever was attained. 1t car
not be denied that we are making al
experiment, and a dangerous one. W.

cessary one. Had the business of thu

law; had its industry been prostrat'
and its exchanges of commodities Ian
ghishing; had its purchasing powe
been at low ebb. and the activities o
it's people greatly reduced, the party IL
power, even though a minority party
would have had warrant for expert
ments in revolutionary financial legis
lation. The end could then have beel
fairly claimed to justify the means
The fact that the reverse of all this ha
long been and is now true is the fac
taking the new law out of the realm o
craftsmanship and putting it in tina
of political economy as taught in uni
versities.
Out of this fact grows, also. a hop
that the experiment may not be as dis
astrous as it was in the 90s. Unde

II IS said that Gen. Jimmy Jackson,

? bit sore on Jack Dunn because the
Oriole magnate recalled Gleiehmann
and Russell. Now what on earth
could Jackson be grumbling about?
When Dunn recalled the men, who are
very valuable to the Baltimore club,
there was just about one chance in
a thousand for Wilmington to lose
the pennant.
Ae 2 matter of fact Jackson. and
the fans Of Wilmington as we'll, should
send vote Of thanks to the Balti-
more owner for sending them Russell
and Gieichmann. Surely RusselPs
twiring won the flag for them and
hitting and splendid
fielding helped materially. lnasmuch
as Wilmington won its last pennant

maps just about the time General
Jackson first gazed upon baseball.
all Wilmington should be happy, not
grouchy. Surely after Dunn had
been so friendly the fans of VIII
could not expect him to take
a chance on losing men like Russell
