TO THE TAXPAYERS
Signed Statement of the Colorado
Tax Commission

Bill No. 34S. limiting tax levies. which
was passed by the Nineteenth General
Assembly, have been greatly misrepre-
sented lin certain quarters), the Tax
Commission desires to make the follow
ing statement:
This law. limiting tax levies, was
prepared by \ committee Of the county
assessors and the Tax Commission.
The law is designed to aid in bringing
about tho assessment of property at Its
full cash value and to protect the tax
payer by placing q limit on the amount
Of tax that he may be called on to pay.
To secure this, for 1918 general limit
Of fifteen per cent increase over the
taxes levied in 1912 has been placed on
tax levying bodies. with specific limits
on the levy for county current expense.
including the contingent and poor funds.
A table has been prepared fixing the
maximum levies for these purposes ac-
cording to valuation. The maximum
levies so provided in the bill have been
determined from study of the levies
now made for the above purposes by
each county and. when values are
raised to full cash according to law,
these levies will yield an abundance of
money for the purposes Of county gov
ernment.
The act also provides that the statu-
tory rates Of levy for the state educa-
tional institutions and other state pur
poses shall be SO reduced that for the
year 1918 the amount of tax that may
be levied thereby shall not exceed the
amount levied in 1912, plus fifteen per
cent. For each year after 1918 the
levy Is limited 50 a. not to permit more
than five per cent increase over the
preceding year. The same limit IL also
placed on all tax-levying bodies in the
state, from the general assembly to
school district Therefore, by these
provisions, neither the state tax, nor
the city, county. town or school tax can
increase more than fifteen per cent in
1918, nor more than FIVE per cent for
each year thereafter. The taxpayer is
accordingly protected.
The act also provides that any taxing
district, except the state, may be
granted . five-mill increase in the levy
by the tax commission when it is shown
that all property therein is assessed at
full cash value and that this assessment
does not amount to a valuation large
enough to permit levy adequate for
the proper support of the local govern
ment. This provision is inserted to
prevent possible hardship. The law
does not apply to money needed to pay
bonded indebtedness, warrants already
|. issued and outstanding, or interest or
Special assessments for local improve
ments.
Under full cash value assessment the
state levy will be reduced from 1-18
to not to exceed IL mills, which, in
the matter of state tax. will place Colo
rado among the very lowest in the ma
ton. There will be slight inducemsnt
for counties to cut and slash our state
tax, and, 40 a matter Of law, as well as
good business sense, every county
should see that all of the taxable wealth
Of the county il placed on the rolls at
full value and the levies made as low as
possible. Full cash values and low
levies are fundamentally right in prin-
ciple, as we'll as required by law. Any

(Berlin Correspondent for the United
Press.)
BERLIN, Jan. lit is no exagger-
,ation to say that hundreds of thousands
OF sick people throughout the world
men, women and children, are await
ing with eager interest the results of
the treatment of tuberculosis by the
new baccili, discovered by DR.. Freder-
lex Franz Friedman DR.. Friedman
opened his first tuberculosis Instit-
tute few weeks ago. Since then hun
dreds of patients have been inoculated
by him.
Oblivious alike to the skepticism of
the ultra-conservatives among the Ger
man medical fraternity, who, he de-
clares, have not taken the trouble to
investigate his cures, and to the praise
of those who are championing him,
DR.. Friedman is giving the world a
practical demonstration of the efficacy
of his discovery.
1t is modest little institute" which
he has opened at 40 Lutzow street. The
doctors means are limited. Ten years
of experimenting and devotion to his
life's work has cost much money.
Should the world accord his remedy
the recognition which he thinks it de-
serves and which he is confident will
come when it's work is better known,
he intends to build a large institute |
where hundreds of patients may be |
cared for daily. He now has only four
rooms. The reception room is all too
small for the scores of patients who |
come. A smaller room serves for the |
doctors office where the patients are
registered and a history of each case
kept. In two other rooms the doctor /
and his assistants make examinations
and give treatments. The examination
consumes time, but the, treatment is
but matter of a few minutes. The
pale-faced young doctor whistles and
sings as he works
Twill l get well, doctor?" asks the
young working woman upon
whose cheeks burn the unmistakable
red flags. The doctor gives her keen
glance, applies his ear to her chest,
then to her back. He straightens up
and whistles tune. "Of course you
will" he says. Bare your arm" A

DUEL RESULTS FROM
RIVALRY IN LOVE

WASHINGTON. Pa. Jan. 11.-Rita
Beceren, II years old, was the unwill-
ing cause of desperate duel between
Bert Quinn and Harry Mosconey, ad-
mirers, which was fought in a dark
room at the boarding house of Mrs.
Jestadds, at West Zollarsville, and
which resulted in the death of Quinn.
The men, each having been devoted
to the girl, had been enemies for some
time. After several alterations, which
lasted well into the early morning
hours, the men decided finally to set
tie the question of who should have

Saves Boys Leg.
Come back in two weeks" he says
and touches the bell for the next pa
tient. That is ALL A young woman Of
20, who had tuberculosis of the bones
of the right hand since she was two
years of age and two fingers ampu-
tated, declared that DR.. Friedman had
lcured her in less than three months.
A boy of 16, accompanied by his
mother, showed the stump of his right
leg amputated midway between the
knee and the hip. The amputation
failed to cure tuberculosis of the bone.
The surgeons and the royal clinic de-
cided his leg would have to be re-
moved at the hip. The mother said she
heard of Friedman's discovery, applied
to him, and that he cured the boy with
three injections.
1t is difficult for a layman to pass
upon so important a question as to
whether Dr. Friedman has discovered a
sure cure for tuberculosis in the first
two stages. Neither is it light re-
sponsibility to arouse hopes in the
hearts of thousands of victims of the
white plague, that might turn out to
be false.
The human documents as one
might term those cured by DR.. Fried
man-men, women and children who
new they had been sick and knew they
were made well-impresses one more
strongly than the scientific doubters,
who declares it is not yet proved that |
the Friedman bacilli cure tuberculosis. |
Distrust, skepticism and no little ill |
will on the part of the medical frater-
nifty, have been aroused by Friedmans |
refusal to make known the secret of |
his remedy or place it at the disposal |
of the profession. Friedman, it is said,
feels that he is entitled to some re-
ward for his life's work He has not |
the means or facilities to manufacture
the remedy in the quantities to meet
general demand nor to finance such a
project. While the doctor is reticent
on the point, 1t is doubtful whether the
Friedman remedy will be available to
the medical profession at large until
ettled.

WIDOW HUNTERS
ARE VERY NUMEROUS

LONDON, Jan. 11.-There are men in
London today moving in high circles
and living luxurious lives solely by
virtue of their good looks and attract
i've manners. They are men who make
a profession of being tame cats. y
They attach themselves in this capacity
to wealthy widows whose husbands
have made wills disinheriting them ii
they should marry again. Some
women are making an income intro
ducing titled men to hostesses at
afternoon teas.
These titled men, who are gener-
ally penniless and foreigners, explains
Nine Cecil Mar, after the introduction
has been made, look about in the So
ciety in which they find themselves
for impressionable widows.
They make an art of playing upon
the foibles of women, and business
to find out the habits of the women
with whom they hope to take up the
situation of tame cat.
"Some of these Fidos' Ior tame
cats even keep lists of women whom
they consider likely to be Of use to
them.
"At most of the chief hotels in
London one or more of these impe-
cunious foreigners with real or as
stunned titles, such as Due de P
or Count O., are to be found in
stalled in the most luxurious manner.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1913-01-11

1T should be a warning to Jealous
husbands not to tie up their wives
liberty by making any such stipula
lions as that they shall never marry
again.
These faithful Fidos' do not wish
to marry, because they get better
time as they are and need not con-
fine their attentions to one only.
1.-THE men are always like the vii
lain in the melodramas-fa
dressed. This is one of their assets
and they find that one result is the
granting to them Of incomes by eld-
erly widows who have sentimental
liking for good looking and well
dressed young men.
There is a sort of freemasonry
among the widow hunters, who pass
on information to each other as to
the income, whereabouts, etc., of
possible contributors to their almost
invisible means.
Many people suffer from being the
objects Of private detective espionage
practiced by other people who wish
to use them in some way
"The 'Fidos' act as detectives
where the tied wealthy widow is con-
cerned, and in garrison towns moth
ers with daughters keep a record of
army officers, making lists of their
names against which they keep the
initials p. M or p. o. p. M means
private means; p. o. means pay

After the lights had been turned on

death, disappeared, and has not been
