First, Experts Say.

The 20 per cent. duty imposed upon the

before the end of the year it will have
reached so per cent.
a great number of arrests have been
made in this country recently, and they
show that the inventive genius of smug-
gIcrs has been stimulated by the great
opportunities fol large profits that are
offered under the tariff, a point which

MONEY FOR NEW PLANT
WOULD NEARLY ALL GO
TO OUTSIDERS.

Opponents of the Retail Plan
for IMMEDIATE MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP cry long and loud
about building new plant be-
cause it will give employment to
labor and release a great deal OF
money that will circulate in Den
yer.
1t is a fact that cannot be sue
cessfully disputed that three dol
lars of the money spent for the
construction of new plant would
90 outside of the city and never
return, where one dollar would
remain.
All of the pipe would be pur
chased on bid and would of neces-
sity have to be supplied by fac
tories located away from Denver,
because there is none manufac-
tured here. And this would be
one of the largest items OF ex-
pense of construction. Men IA
miliar with the work of laying
this pipe would be imported, and
even common laborers would be
brought in in gangs from the out
side to fulfill the eXcavating con-
tracts. .
What little machinery that
would be purchased at home
would be small compared with
that shipped in or leased from
factories outside of the city, be-
cause the attractive profits to be
made from the same would bring
bids from the largest manufactur-
ing plants in the country, whose
prices are lower than the smaller
factories, because of the bigger
business done.
Viewing the matter from an
other point: 1t will take at least
five years to build new plant
