the world.
Then came the terrible moment
when Angela learned that her fathers
fortune had been a mere gilded shell
which hid an immense burden of debt,
and when matters were cleared up
Angela pocketed the $1,000 that repre-
sented her patrimony and set forth to
make place for herself in the world.
Because Of her youth and inexpe-
r1ence and ignorance she had happily
lett her destination to mere chance,

She closed her blue eyes and rufflet

WHEN all is said and done
1t must appear to many
persons, who study the matter
Il little, that the blame for the
steady increase in cost of the
state government and increase
OF taxes in spite of the in
crease in the amount of asses
sable property, lies chiefly
with the people themselves.
The people must pay more
attention to the finances of
county and state. If they be-
ileve IN economy they must
select county commissioners
and Legislators who believe
the same, and if they want all
the fancy frills, expensive ex-
positions and plenty of off
Gals or tax eaters they must
expect to pay for them.

GOVERNOR HAINEs calls at.

GOVERNOR HAINEs calls at
tention in a letter to ar
erroneous statement that was
copied in The TRIBUNE last
week concerning the state
expenditures. The article
referred to stated that an ap-
preparation for the capitol
building was made by the last
Legislature which was SIS, 900
more than for the same
purpose in 1911. The gov
erno- points out that the
Legislature appropriated an
increase of SIS, 500, only
SIS, 900 of which is for the
capitol building and grounds,
the balance going to the state
penitentiary, soldiers home
and the asylums. The addi-
tional appropriation for the
institutions named is rendered
necessary, the governor says,
by the increased population
of these different institutions
and by the increased cost of
procuring supplies.

United Mine Workers of America 1t
is stated developed the fact that q
coal strike in southern Colorado can
be averted II the mine operators win
accede to three propositions. none OF
which involves recognition of the
union.
After conference with Lawson
Secretary of State Pearce said that
in his opinion strike could be
averted II the Colorado operators will
accede to the same proposals to
which the West Virginia operators
agreed"
Lawson held conference with
Governor Ammons. Shortly after
wards the executive held conference
with Jesse F. Welborn. president Of
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company.
The three propositions which state
officials and representatives of com
mercial organizations In Trinidad
and Denver desire the operators and
miners to agree upon, are rs follows:
That the mine operators will make
no determinations against union
miners aud will allow both union and
non-union men to work together.
That the operators will allow the
miners to buy their supplies. gro
ceries and other articles at any store
which they choose to patronize and
will not force them to patronize COM
pany stores.
That the operators will allow the
miners check weighman.
Secretary Pearce said that he had
been assured that the miners would
not strike II the three proposals were
accepted.
The principal efforts Of the state Of
ficers are bent toward conference
between the miners representatives
and the operators. The situation, as
explained by Secretary of State
Pearce. who has been assisted in his
investigation of the situation by E. ".

upon the operators by the miners has
been for a conference.
