Great State Victory. Says Governor.

DenVer.-Governor Ammons issued
the following statement in regard to
the tax decision in which he charac-
terizes the Supreme Courts decision
as a great victory for the state in tax
matters and defends the position of
the state in the long controversy:
81 consider this the greatest victory
in the direction of equal taxation ever
achieved in the history of the state.
Even with the valuation now sus-
tanned, there will be collected for state
purposes throughout the state approx
imately $4,000 to $4,000 less than a
year ago, and in Denver, with the in
creased valuation, there will be col
lected about $4,000 less than year
ago.
With the large amount of new
property included in this increased
valuation, the rate of taxation is,
therefore, much less than it was in
preceding years, and if anyone suf-
fers from overtaxation for state pur-
poses it will be because of unequal
valuations in the individual counties.
1T will be found upon investigation
that the rate of taxation this year for
state purposes is lower valuations
considered. than for any other year in
the last quarter of a century, if not
the entire history of the state"

FARMERS LOAN LAW
DECLARED VALID IN ALL ESSEN.
TIAL POINTS, BUT ONE.
Attorney General Farrar Declares
That Investments Must Be Made on
Direction of State Land Board.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Tax levies by counties to re-
imburse the state school funds for
losses which might occur on loans OF
funds made to farmers would not be
valid. according to the opinion of At
torney General Farrar, but he believes
that the state might impose a general
and uniform tax levy for such u pur-
pose which would be legal
Attorney General Farrar has fin
ished draft of the opinion which
contains his essential holdings.
He believes the loan law valid and
consistent with the exception CT the
one provision making the counties re-
sponsfble for any losses which might
occur TO the school funds from loans
and says that a plan of operation can
be worked out
"It seems to me obvious that one
person cannot, under the constitution,
be taxed to pay the Indebtedness of
another person." he says. Such action
would not be uniform taxation when
made by county.
He believes the investment of school
funds by the treasurer in state bonds
and warrants to be all right and
thinks no criticism of the present or
past treasurers for such investments
can he made justly.
Treasurer Leddy is reminded by the
attorney general that he is only the
custodian of the funds and that the
laws of the state as to disposal and
investment of funds must be the treas
urer's justification, although it is the
treasurers privilege and duty to be
certain that the laws are safe and
valid.
The attorney general declares that
investments in state irrigation dis
trict bonds and loans of funds to farm
ers must be made on the direction of
the State Land Board.

bureau of corporations, serve as an

could direct inquiries, but which
would have no power of granting i'm.
munity or of regulation.

less and Make Rescue in Raging
Storm,

Yarmouth, n. s., Jan. 15.-Snatched
from what seemed almost certain
death, the 10S passengers and crew OF
the Royal Mail packet Cobequid are
snug in Yarmouth harbor.
The wireless appeals for assistance
which she had first made thirty-six
hours before were answered as the
doomed steamer was being dashed to
pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles off
Port Maitland The rescue will go
down in shipping annals as one of tho
most notable ever accomplished on the
Atlantic coast.
The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the battering of the terrific
seas that had been merciless from the
time the vessel struck early Tuesday.
Quantities of cargo covered the wa.
ters as the lifeboats ranged alongside.
The coastal steamers Westport and
John L. Cam were first to get boats
into the water and they were followed
soon by the boats of the government
steamer Lansdowne and the Rappahan-
mock AS the work of rescue pro
gressed the sea subsided considerably
and no mishap marred the triumph
over the waves.
All of the rescued had suffered from
the intense cold. Most of them were
frost bitten, and every one showed the
effects of exposure to zero weather.
