Congressman E. T. Taylor

The last issue of the Gilpin OBJ
server Central City, Colo.,) pays the
following deserved tribute to our
Congressman, Hon. Edward T.
Taylor:
Congressman e. T. Taylor, one of
the me =. bers of the legislative invss-
committee that 10 investt-
eating the formation Of the bill with-
drawing all radium lands from entry
is the right man In the right plas4
and loyal to Colorado's interests Ha
has shown that the withdrawal of
lands under this law means no more
nor less than blanket withdrawal
of all mineral lands Of the entire,
west, and "radium-bearing lands''
will hereafter apply, whenever the
government wishes to keep on the
individual prospector. He also shows
that one-third Of Colorado is now
withdrawn as . forest reserve and,
also that the government owns
eighty-five per cent of all Colorado
lands, that are exempt from taxation
and the remaining 10 per cent pays
all taxes for support Of state institu-
tions, etc. Is 1t any wonder our taxes
are high, when this small proportion
must pay all expenses to maintain
the great state OF Colorado. He also
shows that the government ts In .
large measure to blame for the high
price of coal, inasmuch 1t has with
drawn all coal lands In the state that
can supply the entire United States
with coal for the next 800 years 1t
the present rate Of consumption, thus
giving the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Co., and the Victor Fuel Co., and
others, the monopoly of the coal bus
mess of Colorado, thus enabling them
to charge the people from four to
nine dollars per ton, for coal that
should be placed upon the market
for $3.50 to $500 per ton. From this
1t can be seen that when the govern
ment prevents coal lands from entry
they unwittingly aid monopolies that
are fortunate enough to have located
lands before the withdrawal act waa
effective. In case the radium lands
are Withdrawn, those now fortunate
enough to have acquired them will
form . gigantic monopoly and thus
acquire millions from radium treat-
ment. With the government unin-
tentionally serving the coal trust, the

Hon. When We havs mon who are
loyal to our state and It's interests, on

they are returned to Washington to

to politics, and 1t is our boundened
duty as loyal citizens to see that he
is returned to watch over and guard
Colorado's interests"

consideration of the treasury bill re-
moving restrictions on the issue of
$500, 100000 emergency currency and
making 1t promptly available for any
crisis. Chairman G ass called the
committee together TO hasten a re-
port on the bill which passed the
Senate yesterday; but nine members
were present and eleven were neces-
sary to do businss.
The committee adjourned until
later in the day and arrangements
were made to secure the attendance
of enough members to do business. A
quorum of the committee is in the
city.
shortly after the House met at
noon a point of no quorum was made
and two roll-calls failed to secure the
attendance of enough members to do
business. Adjournment was forced
and all possibility of the House pass
ing the treasury bill before Monday
was dissipated.

WILL ANNOUNCE
RATE DECISION
THIS AFT TERNOON
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion to Publish Findings
After 3. O'Clock.

WASHINGTON Aug. LIT was
announced today at the Interstate
Commerce Commission that every
effort would be made to publish the
decision in the Eastern advance
freight case at or after 8 p. m. to-
day
The announcement, signed by the
secretary of the commission, was
posted at the general office, and 1t
was said it would stand for the day.
Anticipating attempts to forecast the
decision, officials said any reports
purporting to give the commissions
conclusions in the noted case would
be wholly unauthorized and specula-
tive.
The decision, affecting fifty-two
railroad systems east of the Missis-
sippi and north of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers. in what is designated Of
fetal classification territory, has been
under consideration several months.
and an announcement has been ex-
pected from day to day for the last
six weeks. At one time July had
been set as tentative date for the
announcement, but the commission
found itself in difficulties in agreeing
upon all points. and retraced its steps,
reconstructing the decision almost
entirely, and. in fact. writing it anew
on many phases.
The railroads have asked the in
crease solely on the ground that their
revenues have become insufficient to
meet the Increasing cost of wages
and other expenses. Opposition to the
increase has been conducted on the
ground that the railroads would have
sufficient revenue without increasing
charges to the public by conserving
their revenue, with greater efficiency
and eliminating free service to large
