We haven't been able to recognize

But one thing Is sure-we believe
that Denver should pay her full pro-
portion Of the tar. And we believe
that Denver has never paid her full
proportion OF the tax
Denver is a bully and baby. She
jams things through and grabs every
thing in sight only once In n while
she gets set back In her proper piace

DENVER LETTER

Denver. Oct. 2s.-The finances Of
Colorado under this administration
are becoming more tangled than they
were under Shafroth- The attempts
OF the state tax commission. assisted
by the state board of equalization. to
increase the property values and the
refusal Of several counties TO extend
the valuations as ordered by the state
officials leaves the financial situation
in a muddie from which 1t will be
hard to come forth with any degree
of honor. Already the state has re-
duced its expenditures to simply sala-
ries in the first class. Nothing else is
being paid save the mill levy appro-
priations that go direct to the state
institutions. The state board OF equal
ization has o. KID the recommenda-
tons by the state tax commission for
increases and has placed the mill levy
at one and three-tenths mills for state
purposes The board contends this
will reduce last years payment to the
state approximately $4,000 Never
theiess. the state Is broke and has lit
tie prospect Of getting out OF the pres
Ient dilemma 49, -.
Governor Ammons spent last week
in the southern coal fields making n
personal Investigation into the strike
situation. Governor Ammons is prac-
tically alone In his attempts to handle
this strike. How different than was
the situation ten years ago when
Governor Peabody had charge OF set
tiinE the preceding strike. At that
time whatever he did became Repub-
lican party doctrine. The party was
back OF him almost to a man. At the
next election his every act was en-
dorsed and bis official acts became
the Republican platform This year
the Democratic leaders are evidently
afraid to be seen in the company Of
Governor Ammons. and he is left
alone to settle the controversy as best
he can. Neither the party. nor any of
the Individual Democratic leaders. Of
fer him one word OF encouragement
or help.

terested in the special election to be
held in the thirteenth congressional
district next Tuesday to choose a
successor to John W. Weeks, who re-
his seat in the House to ac'
cope the United States s%enatorship.
Che election is regarded as import
ant because it is the first to occur
IN any part Of the country since Mr..
Wilson became president. Further
more, the contest among the candi-
dates has been made on the tariff
issue and the result is expected to
show the attitude of Massachusetts
toward tariff revision. The contest
is a three-cornered one, the candi-
dates being former Congressman
John J. Mitchell, democrat; Alfred

SPAN|SHSWINDLE

MlNOT AND ROLLA RESIDENTS
ARE TOLD OF HUGE FORTUNES
AWAITING THEM IN SPAIN

Grand Forks, N. d., April 14.-That
the Spanish letter swindle is being
worked for all that it is worth is evil
dent from advices that have been re-
ceived from Minot and Rolla. The
local man, whose experiences with
the willy Spaniards, so called, has had
no further communication with the
people who are trying to put him on
the road to prosperity. The follow
ing dispatch from Minot indicates
that the swindles evidently think that
the Magic City has gullible inhabi-
tants:
From all indications, Senior Bar
rios, the alleged Russian banker, is
having the hardest kind OF a time to
get rid of his fortune. A short time
ago Senior wrote a long letter to J. A.
Roell, requesting the Minot man to
come to the Bankers rescue and get
him out of Jail. Providing Mr.. Roell
did this he was to receive a goOdly
share Of some $4,000, which the
banker had hid away in a portman-
teau. Mr.. Roell evidently forgot all
about the fortune awaiting him, for
yesterday Julius lFauchald received a
similar letter. The letter received by
Mr.. Fauchald is almost identically the
same as the one received by Mr..
Roell. 1t is couShed in the same po-
lite terms and the pathos peddle is
worked hard. The poor bankers
daughter is still being deprived OF her
rights the same as she was twenty
years ago when the swindlers started
in business and unless something
happens soon her romantic days will
be but sweet memories. The letter
to Mr.. Fauchald was posted at Mad
rid, March 19. =;
But Minot and Grand Forks are not
alone in receiving attention from the
takers. The following communication
from Rolla is self.explanatory:
