ASSESSORS MAY Be
DEPOSED IF They
DON'T OBEY
Weld County Officials Head TO
be Gut Off Unless He Re-
ViseS Tax Valuation.
Sentinel Special Service.


Denver. Jan. l9.-Com missioner
Link of the state tax commission has
received word from many of the
county assessors since he notified
them officially of the supreme court
ruling on the tax proposition, and all
of them are satisfied with the con-
ditions. and state they propose TO
abide by the decision of the court
and increase schedules as authorized
by the tax commission. Thus far
Weld county is the only one that may
show fight. The decision means that
the raise in that county will be 6@
per cent on all property in the coun-
ty.
It is intimated that every assessor
who refuses to authorize the increase
will lay himself liable to being de-
posed.
The Weld county officials still de-
clare they will make every legal eff
fort to prevent the raise, and the Of
ficials are daily holding conferences
to arrive at conclusion. Assessor
A. l.. Mumper came to Denver Sat
urday to confer with state officials
with view OF compromising the
Weld county situation. Nothing as
to what was done, however. has been
given the public.

Washington, Jan. 19.-With the

srticularly by the suggestion from

Reas, however, and the whole uues-

Artists generally agree with en-
Inesrs that the canal is monument
itself. but at the same time there
hs been no lack of suggestion for
fautifying the waterway. One
|'orssition is for collosal pillars at

DEATH RATE OF BABIES

Cambridge, Mass. Jan. 19.-Feed-

death. says DR.. John l.. Morse of Har-

"Eighty-five per cent of the in

DR.. Morse today. THE present at
titude of women in regard to nursing
offspring is national disgrace. II
is strange that women should turn
their. back on this duty, which should
te considered more a privilege than
a duty.
''The breast-fed baby makes the

DR.. Morse said that mares milk
was more like human milk, but that
cows milk has been given the pref
erence because 1t is more plentiful.
