we need more dairying. We need the
cows not only for the monthly income
but for the fertilizer for our lands.
Prof Hinman was at the Fort Nor
gan meeting Monday night and made
the statement that lone a beet dump
near Fort Lupton had an average of
over Is tons Of beets to the acre this
year and 1t was possible only because
the farmers tributary to this dump
are all milking cows and the manure

Tax Payers Ticket Named

Pursuant to the call OF the Chair
man. the Tax Payers met in the Dis
trict Court Room on last Monday night
and proceeded to nominate officers to
fill the places of Mayor, Three Trus-
tees and Treasurer for The Town of
Julesburg for the coming year. A
large number of citizens evidenced
their interest in the coming election
by being present at the caucus and the
following were nominated:
For Mayor-Geo. A. Reed
For Trustees. N. Cleveland, A. j.
Walrath and c. c. Gould
For Treasurer-Chas. Petersen
This is good strong ticket COM
posed Of business men and one that
should receive the support of the vot-
ers at the coming election. Mr.. Reed
has been a successful business man
and is vitality interested in the well
fare of Julesburg and can be depend
ed on giving his support to those
things which will build up and make
Julesburg bigger and better. MIR.
Cleveland has been on the board the
past two years and one has always
known just where to find him on all
matters pertaining to progress. Mr..
Walrath cacn be depended on to work
for the best interests of Julesburg in
a public capacity as he always has in
the past as a private citizen. Mr..
Gould is financially and morally in
terested in the progress Of the town
and can be depended upon to do those
things which will make for Greater
Julesburg. Mr.. Petersen has been
Treasurer of the town for several
years and has made an honest and
efficient Treasurer and without ques-
ton should be retained in this office.
The Taxpayers tickets in the past
have been reliable. They have work.
ed for an economical, efficient admin
istration. They have given to the
town needed reforms and at the same
time have kept the town upon busi-
ness basis. The above ticket can be
placed before the citizens with feel
ing that the financial and moral af
fairs of the town will be in safe con-
servative hands if these men are e.
lected.

Ow memory pictures the mind Of the
writer stretched forth over the nation
and saw under the canopy of the heav-
ems above a sleeping people Not the
men who would profit off the mistakes
of our officials but he saw those who
realize that our officials will profit off
their own mistakes and who are will
ling still to trust and sustain the great
principles upon which our government
is founded. He saw the great mass
the men and womein of the small
homes who have twice given of their
flesh and blood that those principles
might live, and who. had they been a.
wakened that highland asked again
to contribute, would have gladly sent
their sons down that avenue to the hell
of war itself in order that representa-
tive government shall yet remain on
this earth.
The affirmative picture completely
obliterated the negative. The hue and
cry of the critics of our government
were but the clang of the street cars
gong on F street. The solidarity of
our republic and the final triumph Of
the principles established at its begin
ming was as the peaceful rest OF our
people that night under the canopy of
Gods heaven with the extending shad-
ows of that white shaft and the Capt.
tol dome covering all.

Soon our Flag shall wave
Above the liquor traffic's grave,

Leddy's Defiance Of Plain Law Keeps
Pay Of Teachers Down
School Money He now Unlawfully De-
posits in Banks Might be Lawfully
Loaned to Farmers and Revenue In
creased for Education.
(By P. V. Hoggatt, Register)

The State of Colorado carries off the
first prize and all blue ribbons when
we come to the question of constitu-
tionality of our laws. Cooley on Con
stitutional Limitations" is a primer
when compared with the questions of
constitutionality OF Colorado's laws.
1t seems that when laws have been
passed by the legislature of Colorado
tending to the general benefit of all the
citizens of the state the question of
their constitutionality invariably aris-
been raised in Colorado in one year
than can be found in twenty years.
execution of the laws in our near ad-
joining state of Iowa. We copied
practically bodily the laws of Iowa
which pertain to the loaning of the
school fund derived from the sales Of
lands granted by congress for educa-
tfonal purposes.
The moment this wise and benefic-
lent law is undertaken to be enforced
we are confronted with Magma Charta
ultra vires-the Constitution of the
United States-the rule in Sheely's
case-the kings prerogative-due pro-
cess Of law, etc.
Constitution Plain
on School Funds.
The Constitution of the State of
Colorado says that the school fund
shall be securely and profitably inves-
ted as may be by law directed. Now a
school child IL years old can under
stand that; it is clear and unmistak-
able in its meaning. The laws of Colo
RADIO have directed how the school
fund shall be invested, and says in
these plain words that the permanent
school funds shall be loaned out by
the treasurer at the direction of the
state board of land commissioners in
sums of $1,000 or less to one person or
company for at least one year and not
more. than five years, evidenced by
promisory notes bearing 6 per cent
payable semi-annually, said promis-
sorry notes to be secured by a deed 6f
trust on unincumbered real estate for
at least double the sum borrowed.
Can words more plain be found in
the English Language? If so, l am at
loss to find them. The state treasur-
er is free from loss in case of bad
loan, because the Constitution of the
State of Colorado says in these plain
words:
When the Treasurer
Baked and Flfnclied
"The state shall supply all losses
thereof that may in any manner oc-
cur" by the investment of school funds
The laws of Colorado direct the state
treasurer. on the first of January of
each year, to apportion upon the basis
of the school population of each coun-
ty the amount of money to be loaned
