SENATE PASSED TARIFF BILL
BY VOTE OF ~ AYES, 81 NAYS

The new tariff bill passed the Unit
ed States senate Tuesday evening, the
ed States at 9:45 on the evening OF the
9th inst. by vote of ~ TO 81. LaFol-
lette and PoindeNter voted for the bill
and Ransdel ard Thornton cast their
vote against ii.
The principal changes made by the
senate concern the free list and the in
como tax. The house leaders believe
these changes will reduce the revenue
and hope in conference to get the sen
ate to agree to restore some OF the
house provisions.
The senate changes include the re
duction OF the income tax minimum
from 1000 to $4,000, with higher tax
on larger incomes, and countervailing
duties on some manufacturers com
modities to meet the free-listing OF
raw materials. The countervailing duty
on wood pulp was eliminated, while
the free wool and sugar schedules
were not changed.
The Republicans gave up hope OF
carrying any of the amendments and
permitted many votes tb oe taken
without the formality of a roll call.
When the fight over agricultural
products was opened Thornton and
Ransdel of Louisiana deserted the
Democrats and joined with the Repub-
licans in voting against the low duties
of the bill.
An amendment by Bristow of Kan
sas. providing for l5oo duty on cattle,
swine. sheep and other domestic ami
mails. IVES defeated by vote of SO
to l9.
The action of the finance committee
in cutting off the ten per cent duty
fixed on cattle in the house bill and
putting them on the free list was rati-
fled by n vote of 81 to 2S,
McCumber led the fight against free
wheat. The house bill imposed a duty
of ten cents bushel, and the senate
put it upon the free list,
McCumber's amendment for 10 per
cent duty was defeated by n vote OF
SO to 30.
The Republicans made vain effort
to remove the duty of one-tenth OF a
cent a pound on bananas. and Bris'
tow tried vainly to put 10 per cent
duty on meats, denouncing the tree
meat provision as an "iniquity.
Cummins attempted TO put an anti
trust provision to the free list when
ferring imports TO the free list when
ever it was apparent that they We're

The Republican Victory in Maine.

Practically complete returns from
the special election held in the Third
congress. .onal district OF Maine to elect
a successor to the late Forest Goodwin
tRepJ show some interesting figures
that apparently have special signifi-
cance with respect to the hosts that
"battled at Armageddon." In short,
the Republicans won from the Demo
Gratis, with the Progressives nowhere
The returns are:
Peters. R---15,1 ,106 Taft .-............ 7,159
PattangGn, D14,553 Wilson III ,6s2
Lawrence, P. 7,15ORoosevelt ....13,23s
That the Republican vote increased
more than 100 per cent over the presi-
ential vote of last November; that the
Democratic vote practically stood still;
that the Progressive vote decreased
nearly 5gel. and that almost one-half
of the Progressives went over to the
Republicans-these are the signifi-
cant facts of the returns
Let nobody think that this special
election was a tame affair with local
issues. a weak campaign and apathetic
voters On the contrary, this congress
sional election in Blaine's old district
was one Of the liveliest ever held in
the state OF Maine. 1t was fought out
on national issues. with speakers of
national prominence stumping the dis
triCt for each of the three candidates.
For instance, Speaker Champ Clark
spoke for Pattangall and Secretary
Bryan made 10 less than eight speech
es for him.
Moreover. the candidates are all
men of prominence and every voter
knew what they stood for John A.
Peters Of Ellsworth is former speaker
of the Maine house and represents the
so-caIled "standpat" Republicans. VIII
liam A. Pattangall is a former attorney
general of the state and is now mayor

tory for the Republical principle OF
protection and for liberal Republican
ism The Democrats allege Democrat
ic treache.y at the hands of leaders
beaten at the primaries. The Progress
sives lay their defeat to lack of funds,
but admit that their rank and file now
prefer Republican to Democratic doc
trines.
Altogether, it seems to be a very
significant victory for the Republicans.
The only question is this:
Is the feeling in the Third congress
sional district of Maine fair sample
of the feeling elsewhere?
And as to that, one mans guess is
as good as another's-till the net

the animals that have been educated
with the whip as an educator, but by
kindness. They are not trained in the
general acceptance of the term. but
are educated by the fearless male and
female trainers. They seem proud OF
what they can do and appreciate ap-
plause as much as the vainest artist.

in all the leading cities, and in every
one they have been accorded the palm
for merit and perfect organization. Col.

An Inciden. tina. Needs Explanation.

The navy department the other day
opened bids for the turbine drums OF
battleship No. 80. The Bethlehem
Steel company's bid was S169, 76S The
Midvale Steel company's was s16O,272.
The Carnegie company, said to be the
only other American concern equipped
for the work, did not bid.
There were some foreign bidders,
among them the Cyclops works OF
Sheffield. England whose bid was $751;
1876, including the customs duty, and
which received the contract. In view
of the enormous difference in price
there was nothing else 20 do.
OF course it is not the practice of
the government, or evident reasons OF
public policy. to buy war materials
abroad, unless in emergency, which
did not exist in this case. 1t is only
fair that American labor should. wher-
ever possible, benefit by public expen-
diture. 1t is even more important that
supply whatever may be needed in
time OF war.
Yet a difference in price of over
100000 could not be overlooked. Nor
can that difference be justified, We
think, by the higher wages in Ameri-
can steel mills than in English. 1t
may be, of course, that the English
bidder cut to cost in order to keep 60
ing in a slack season. But even that
can hardly explain so great a differ
ence.
The incident warrants the navy de
partment in securing the most rigid
inspection of the English drums. One
way of lowering price is by doing bad
work We know nothing about the
Cyclops works of Sheffield, but the
case looks queer all around
Also explanations of the high bids
that explain should be forthcoming
from the American steel mills. Why did
they ask so much more? If they had to
if they could not do the work for
less-then their efficiency is under
suspicion. And if they could do it for
much less. then they are in the posi-
tion of seeking extortionate profits
from supposed national necessities

crease in 1912 in the production OF

slate and shale and mortar colors. The
total output last year was 4.657 short
tons, valued at S56l .69S. an increase Of
l1.9ls short tons in quantity and Of
S2.Ss12 in value. The increase in
quantity was shared by all the natural
pigments except umber and sienna, 200
short tone less of which was produced
in 1912 than in 1911.

THE INCREASED VALUATION
OF PROPERTY IN COLORADO


The session laws of 1913 have only
recently reached the office of the sec
retary of state from the hands of the
printers and are not yet generally dis
tributed, consequently the assessment
officers of the state have, in making
the 1913 assessment, of necessity
worked to some extent in the dark.
The new statute is not dissimilar
from the statutes that have been in
force in Colorado for many years, in
that all require assessments to be
made at full cash value of the prop
erty. There can be no objection to
this, except the uncertainty which re-
suits from the inherent difficulties OF
ascertaining the full or true cash value
ia particular proprty. What is such
value is a matter about which differ
ent minds will necessarily reach con-
clusions widely variant. The phrase
has been judicially determined to be
the amount at which the porperty
would be appraised if taken in pay
ment of a just debt from a solvent
debtor. Again, it has been said by the
courts in many cases that the amount
which property will bring at public
auction is good prima facie criterion
by which its value for assessment may
be determined. In other words, the
law fixes no arbitrary rule, but neces-
sarily leaves the matter open for the
exercise of the judgment of the assess
ing officer.
1t is said that the state taxing COM
mission insists that Assessor Pitcher
of Denver shall make a return for
1913 of three times the amount re-
turned for the year 1912, and the pre-
sumption is that like instructions have
gone out to all counties in the state
Thus rule seems to be based upon the
theory that heretofore property has
been assessed at not more than one
third OF its market value Perhaps this
has been the rule of Denver. but ex-
perience shows that outside counties
have usually taken a much higher per
centage OF values.
The above rule is unjust and erron-
eous and is absolutely without founda-
dation in reason or law. because it
does not take into consideration the
depressed values of 1913, resulting
from various causes, such as the
tightness of the money market, de-
creased business and the lack of in
vestment capital coming from outside
the state. which has been great fac
tor heretofore in stimulating the mar
ket value of all property in the state.
This matter should be carefully ex-
amiend by taxpayers at the present
time. Although the values have al
ready been fired by the assessors in
many of the counties of the state, the
taxpayers are not generally advised
as to the amount of their assessments.
They should look to this matter with
out delay. obtain copies of their sched-
ules and Immediately present such
grievances as they may have TO the
proper officer or board. Unless
prompt action is taken to keep tax
levies ithin the narrowest limits
that will permit the several state
county, school, etc, governments TO
carry on their functions by the prac
tice of strict economy, the increased
assessment may result in the several
counties buying in large amounts of
property at the tax sales and con
sequent decrease of revenues instead
of an increase.-Pueblo Chieftain.
