Tax Agent Corey Unable TO
Make Settlement on Basis
Of 95 Per Cent.
BOARD IS OBOURATE NOW.

County Treasurer Benton Canon
this afternoon refused tender Of
Sl7, 900 as payment of the last half
Of the taxes OF the Denver & Rio
Grande, the Rio Grande Junction and
the GlCbe Express Company In Mesa
county. Tax Agent James Corey Of
the Grande had a draft for 1900
ready. stating that it represented IS
per cent of their assessment.
The treasurer has been advised
that he cannot legally accept a por-
tion of the taxes without prejudicing
the collection of the rest. and he
turned down the tender.
The county commissioners stead
fastly refuse to accept anything less
than the nun cash assessment from
the road, and there seems TO be no
likelihood of compromise this year
In the future, under the new reve-
nue. law, the roads must pay their
taxes first and do their objecting af-
terward. Now they can object and
hold mp payment Indefinitely.

as saying that the fight then tApril.
l90S,D raging on Speaker Cannon

against the speaker" The letter
continued; Watson states that the
president Is moving heaven and earth
to nominate Taft and Is willing to
sacrifice the Sherman law and every
law to please the trusts and please
Wall street. so he tan get the SUR
port for his candidate.
Mulhall also wrote of attending
meeting at Foraker's house composed
of senators who will oppose the
president and his policies at the Chi
cago convention. lie added that he
had been instructed 10 oppose the
Maryland delegates being instructed
for Taft. The letter continued: The

wishes at this session, and intends to
fight the Taft forces to finish
On May 8, 1908. Mulhall wrote to
Schwedtman that he had called on
Senators Carter and Hemenway, AL
drich's secretary and others, and was
assured by all these gentlemen that
1t mattered not what the president
attempted. here wasn't going to be
any unfair legislation passed at this
session."
The letter detailed conversation
with Beveridge in which the latter
declared himself for the Injunction
bill amendment to the Sherman law
and the child labor bill. Mulhall
wrote that when he reported this to
Hemenway, "Hemenway told me to
tell Beveridge that he was talking
through his hat, and that his hat
was damn poor one. Watson later
told me that Beveridge was simpl,
crazy"
On May II Mulhall wrote Schwedt-
man, quoting Watson to the effect
that ''all this scare about a Sherman

mitted that the effect of the parcels
post has been felt severely and that
the express companies realize they
have a fight on their hands, espe-
cially since the c. o. u. feature has
been inaugurated by the government
service. Heretofore, this has been
one point in which the express com

or. Mr.. Mayo refused to admit that
the c. O. ID. feature had been SER

admit that II might grow to he really
alarming.
The only point still in favor of
the express companies now Is the l.
pound limit which the parcels post
has. In case that rule should be
abolished, admitting heavier parcels,
1t would be an out and out bitter
struggle in which the express com
panies would chop rates mercilessly.
Mr.. Mayo is a man thoroughly in
touch with the situation. not only on
the line he controls. but over the en-
tire capntry, and is an excellent au-
thority on express matters.
Mr.. Mayo was not prepared to state
how soon the new rates will be an
