perfected ct the close Of the ceunty
educational meeting which wsa ksad
here last week. s0perintsRdsat Gsaat

the psesiasnt Of this new Organization; /;
A. l.. Wilson, secretary of school dis
trict No. 26, is vice-president; and Mrs.
George Sullivan, of the county high
school faculty, is secretary treasures.
Steps will be taken by these officers in
the near future to effect a strong organ
izstion and to decide upon the best time
to hold the annual meeting.
All of the papers which were read be-
fore the educational meeting were ex-
cellent and shown much thought and
study. On Friday evening President
James H. Kelley, of the Colorado State
Normal School, delivered very inter
esting and instructive address on ''The
Improvement of the Teacher in Service. ."
Mr.. Jonson, dean of the Colorado State
Agricultural College at Fort Collins,
gave an address Saturday afternoon.
He indicated in an able manner the pos
slble ways of improvement of the rural
schools, and pointed out some of the
present defects of the rural schools. He
advocated the county unit system which
places all of the schools of the county
under one board. but said that he did
not believe that the next Legislature
woul pass a bill providing for this county
unit sy ystem.
Miss Owens primary class of the
Gunnison city schools gave an excellent
demonstration of number work.
Many excellent exhibits of the work of
the schools of the county were shown
in the Normal school building, where
the meeting was held Miss Denny,
teacher of the Ohio City schools, show
ed an excellent exhibit of manual train
ing work, which was done with fifteen
cent saw and pocket knife.
Miss Mclaughlin. ot the Sparta school
near Parlin, had few exhibits, as did
the schools of Jack 5 Cabin and Crested
Butte. Miss Hennes, of the Domestic
Science Department of the Normal
school, Miss Gray, of the Normal Eng
hsh Department, and Mr.. Bedford, of
the Normal Training Department, had
some very fine exhibits.
There was good attendance at the
meeting. The Crested Butte teachers
all attended. and nearly all of the teach
ers in the districts near Gunnison were
in attendance.
Miss Sara B. Easterly. had the meeting
in charge.

Ernest Barlow, representing the Col
orado Tax Commission, was in Gunni-
sen for three days this week. He came
here 70 make certain investigations
which Win aid the tax commission in

the ranch land, and reports that he is
of the opinion that Assessor Thomas
has not over valued the land here.
Mr.. Barlow is well pleased with As
SCISSOR Thomas valuations and says that
they are as just as any in the state. He
believes that if there is anything which
is under valued, it is the ranch land.
Mr.. Barlow is tax expert and says
that the change in tax valuations has
come to stay and contends that the tax
commission is doing everything in its
power to arrive at just valuations all
over the state. Under a fair valuation.
such as the full cash valuation, he de
clares that conditions rather that the
assessor fixes the values, and contends
that the people should not charge up
every change in valuation against the
assessor.
In speaking of the taxation on the
railroad property, he says that it is an
undisputed fact that this property has
been valued in this as in other counties.
much higher than the adjoining property
These rood uar.li..,. = -,
pay on the same basis as do the land
owners, and as result they are not
,ontesting the taxation against them.
Consequently, the railroads will, this
year. in nearly every county turn in all
taxed against them. Under the old
system they were generally able to
make a material cut in their taxes.
The general result will be that the
railroads will pay in actually more mon
ey to the treasury than in former years.
Mr.. Barlow showed that the thriving
ranching conditions " hch have run up
the prices of land and stock is largely
responsible for the increased valuation
ON the ranches. Where there has been
no changes in tax valuations in a COM
munity, such as this. for a number of
years, the introduction of a new full
valuation principle is bound to hit the
most thriving industry the hardest
On the other hand, some mining sec
tions which have gone down hill for
years, will have no increase and per
haps decrease in taxes. He said that
it was the present desire of the tax
commission to correct all wrong valua-
ton and introduce more just system
than that of the past.

At last-this paper can authoritative
ly state that Gunnison is going TO be in
the race this season for the base baA
honors of the Western Slope And
when the present plans are completed
we will have . pennant- winning team
After creating some little interest in
these columns, q suitable petition WAS
formulated last Saturday and was
taken around to the libe ral-hearted bus
mess men of Gunnison, by Bob Barrett
and Chess Pittser. who gladly offered
all reasonable assistance for the main
tenance of this all important organiza-
ton. Something better than $50 was
subscribed that very day. And up to
the time of going to press, there has
been promised, a total amount of Sl00,
which is said, to be an ample sum to
carry the boys through the entire season,
along with the money taken in from the
receipts of the games, in first-class
shape.
The first try-out of the season took
place at the ball park last Sunday, Wnen
a lively contest of seven innings was in
dulged in by teams composed of Gunni-
son boys. The final score stood 10 5.
Skippie Arch featured the game by
knocking out home run. Owing to a
chilly southwest wind. the boys were
unable to round to form, but with the
organization completed and little
practice, they will sure be able to set a
lively pace.
We could give a probable lineup of
the team, but at a meeting to be held
next Sunday, this and the election of
officers will receive final action, a com
plete report of which will appear in
these columns next week.

position as the one he now holds.
Seventy-one guests were present,
and the evening WAS spent in speech
making. storytelling, singing and con-
versation in general.
j. t. Brown, who was the principal
instigator in securing the reading room
for the railroad men, gave short and
interesting talk in which he explained
the object of establishing such a con-
venietce, as well as number of other
interesting things.
Rev. VIM. Kipp, f. M. Nourse. Rev.

others gave short talks.
The ladies of the social committee

wishes of a host of friends will follow

H|GH SCHOOL BOARD BUYS
MORE LOTS FOR NEW SITE

The County High School Board has
recently purchased seven more lots so
the high school now Owls two entire
blocks which are situated two blocks
east of Main street and an equal dis
tance south of the Normal school cam
pus. This will be the site of the new
high school building which it is thought
will be built during the next four years
The work of improving these new high
school grounds has already been com
menced. During the past week trees
were set out.
At a meeting of the high school
board which was held last week, it was
the opinion expressed that a sinking
fund should be Grated for the purpose
of constructing the new building. 1t is
said that the forest reserve money
which is turned INTO the county each
year for the roads and schools will be
turned over to the board for this pur-
pose. In the past nearly all of this
money has been used on the roads. The
high school board is of the opinion that
it would not be wise at this time, when
there are so many demands on the tax
payers, to ask for the floating of bonds
for building purposes

PROGRESSIVE CHARACTERISTIC

The Waterbury American expresses surprise at the manner in which pro-
 gressiVes can disagree in their love feasts without anyone getting sore. Nobody gets very mad over these give-and take matters It is a Moose characteristic says our contemporary.
 Of course. And yet we can under stand how all this seems strange to those familiar with the old school politics, in which differences of opin- ion invariably mean factional feuds and personal vendettas. The fact is, the progressive party is made up of men and women accustomed to think themselves and so accustomed to respect the rights of others to simi- lar intellectual freedom. Recogniz- ing no boss who can dictate what they shall think, they have no arbi- trary authority with whom to quar-
Arizona republican., 1914-11-29

There has never been gaycr Thanksgiving week than the one lust ended. Three brilliant events, the Country club cabaret dinner dance. the Arizona club dance and the dance given by Miss Henrietta Olney last evening besides countless small af- fairs made d season of unprecedent- ed pleasure. From now until sum mer there will be no cause for com p1aint of dullness. Those who are devoted to society will find every moment occupied. for numerous affairs are being planned that will surpass any functions of previous years Those who declared the winter would be quiet have conceded their mistake nd admitted that since fair week it has been gay enough to satisfy tne most eXacting. And it is splendid thing for Phoenix, for entertainin., means prosperity and be it known that Phoenix is prosperous.
 In addition to the many delightful social events of the week, was the appearance of Ruth St Denis at the Elks'. It was distinctly soclety audience that greeted the dancer both at the evening and matinee per
