production of 1873. .405. With these
statistics as basis. they show that
the average production per man In
the year 1908 was $712.3O, while dur.

man was the enhanced sum Of $1574.-

OF four years. The ultimate possible
output per man is difficult 70 fore'ell

The first election i'm Denver, un-
der the commission form of govern
ment, resulted in a complete over
throw of the cheap reformers who
were swept into office but a short
year ago by a wave OF public senti-
ment. Only one of the men who
were elected by staggering majori-
ties last spring ON the ticket Tues
day, succeeded in election. Mayor
Arnold, who last spring was hailed
as the Messiah, and who was elected
by the most flattering majority ever
given to a mayoracty candidate in
Denver, suffered an ignomin.ous de-
feat. Sheriff Sullivan, so-called pur-
list and general custodian of Denver's S
morals, met defeat with emphatic
emphasis. He, like the rest of the
four-flushers, won a sweeping victory
last spring. The past years admin
stration of city affairs in Denver un-
der the bunch of weakhngs who were
repudiated in Tuesdays election, was
generally admitted to be the most
inefficient, unbusinesslike, and the
most harmful of any din the history Of
the Capital city.

Under the new tax law and the
change in the system of assessing
property, the comparatively poor man
will be benefited. Those who have
plenty Of property and the worlds
goods will be required to bear the
burden of taxation. Those who own
just home, while they may be as
sessed at the full cash value of the
same, their tax levy will be greatly
reduced, made possible by the taxes
levied against the wealthier who have
their money invested in stocks,
bonds, warrants, etc. The new >sys-
tenn is just and equitable and should
have been in practice years ago.
When the small taxpa rs begin to
realize the benefit to them by the
change in the method of assessment,
they will sing paeans of praise for
the Democratic party-the party that
has ever championed the cause of
the poor and oppressed.

REGISTER WAKING UP!

Could our Superannuated cOntempOr
AIRY but wake up and attempt to be
fair to himself and the party he at
tempts to represent and tell the truth
regarding political things just once
in while, he might thereby obtain
at least one white mark, that pos
sibly would pass him by the watch
full eye of st. Peter when he elects
to cross the Great Divide.
The ignorance and perversion of
the truth displayed by the Register
in its criticism of the 1913 tax sched-
ules is identical in makeup to prior
schedules and follows the law as
laid down by the special session of
ing has been changed. That it has
taken the Register eleven years to
wake up and discover that the pres
emit schedule lis one of the most un-
reasonable documents that the tax
payer has ever had to face" and char
ging The last legislature for bring
ing lit into existence is one of the
rankest falsehoods ever attempted to
blind the eyes of a long suffering
public in an attempt to disqualify
the present efficient Democratic ad-
ministration. For decade the tax
schedule i'm its present form has
each year been subscribed to by the
taxpayer without violent protest, but
now the rip Van Winkle' Register
awakes to find it is IAN infamous
measure. AS a boomerang in the
camp of the political opposition, we
give space to the malicious false
hood so that the reading public may
be informed as to the semi-political
rot and the animus behind lit:
County Assessor James Thompson,
and his deputies were distributing
tax schedules during the week, and
the majority of our business men
have been busy trying to umravel the
mysteries that are bound up in the
meaning of some of the terms which
they will have to swear to when they
return their schedules to the coun-
ty officials. The present schedule
Is one of the mcst unreasonable doc
uments that the taxpayer has ever
had to face, and the criticisms that
have been hurled at the last legLsla-
ture for bringing into existence such
a measure, would not look well In
print, or pleasing to the ears of any
member of the body, who followed
the lead of the Democratic majority
who were responsible for 1t. A two
years course in paying taxes under
the demands Of the new law, will
disgust every taxpayer IN the state,
and the party responsible for such
an Infamous measure, will have a
mighty hard row to hoe at the next
election, in trying to defend their ac-
&ions for saddhng on the people a
measure that Is so unjust and un-
reasonable"
