VALUATIONS IN
MESA MODELS
Il FOR STATE
Half Counties In Colorado to
Have Assessments Increased;
Ours to Stand.

THE valuations of Mesa, Mont
rose and Larimer counties will
stand as models for the rest of
the counties in the state when the
state tax commission begins Its task
of eQualizing the assessments in
Colorado counties. More than half
the counties in the state will be given
large Increases but the figures filed
by Assessor Brown of Mesa county
will be unchanged.
Denver, while not to be given the
highest raise, will find Its tax as
sessments largely advanced when the
commission has concluded its duties.
The effect OF this ruling by the tax
board Is to uphold the contentious OF
Assessor Brown in Mesa county and
insure the taxpayers of Mesa county
against discrimination. While the
valuations in Mesa county are ad-
mittedly high they are believed by
the tax commission to approximate a
full,valuation and will not be amend
ed. ~
The increase In the valuations re-
tnrned by other county assessors,
notably those in Denver, Costilla,
Conetos, Cheyenne, Weld and Sag
uache, will protect the taxpayers OF
Mesa county against the payment OF
an undue amount Of state taxes.
Chairman Lin of the commission
stated last night that the equalization
board would have all ite figures be-
fore Saturday night.

HOW SYSTEM WILL WORK
TWELVE RESERVE BANKS WILL
BE LOCATED IN VARIOUS
PARTS OF COUNTRY.
WILL DEMAND COLLATERAL
WHEN This is FURNISHED MA
TloNAL AND STATE BANKS
MAY GET CURRENCY.

Washington, June 90 Congress
turned its eyes away from the tariff
today and scrutinized the admins
tration's currency bill.
While the measure VIII not be in
troduced in both houses until next
week, the tentative draft brought
about informal discussion by which
President Wilson and the democratic
leaders hoped to develop harmony
when the bill is launched for debate
and amendment.
While it has been known for some
time that the trainers of the meas
Secretary McAdoo, Sena, or
Owen, Representative Glass and the
president-contemplate a system of Il
reserve banks in districts whose
areas were not necessarily equal geo.
graphically but followed the lines of
trade and domestic commerce. Inter
est centered today in the powers Of

federal reserve board of nine mem
hers over the reserve banks. Though
originally it was planned to give the
banks representation on the federal
reserve board, it was argued that
they would practically have the en-
tire management of the federal re-
serve banks, and that by placing the
board entirely in governmental con
troll check on the operations Of the
reserve banks might be assured
The operation of the plan of note
issuance is explained in this way:
Whenever a state or national bank
desires to obtain currency it applies
first to the federal reserve bank IN
its region, accompanying application
with a tender of collateral security.
The security thus offered must be
notes and bills, adopted for re-dis-
count under rules laid down by the
federal reserve board, which may is
sue up to $5OO,OOOOOO in notes.
The federal reserve banks must
hold SO 1-S per cent Ia gold of the
amount of notes advanced, The
notes also become a first and perma-
nent lien on the assets Of the fed
eral reserve banks. The element of
elasticity is obtained, according to
administration officials, in the levy
ing Of an interest charge on the note
issue. This rate is to be established
by the federal reserve board, with due
regard to the prevailing charge in
the money market. It IS calculated
that fall in the demand for money,
accompanied by decline in the mar
ket rate Of interest, would furnish
an incentive for the retirement Of
the treasury notes.
