government to foreigners who are
making their homes in the United
States will probably be established by
the Pueblo County Bar association as
a result of discussion Of the sub
ject at the annual banquet of the as
sociation last week. The suggestion
originated with Robert E. Lewis,
judge Of the federal court. He sug-
gested that such schools should be
conducted by bar associations every
where in the United States.
The suggestion was enthusiastical-
ly greeted by local attorneys. 1t is
proposed to hold meetings for for
eigners at stated periods. A local at
torney will be chosen to address each
meeting on some important feature
of American government and he will
explain the operation of laws which
most concern the common people.
The bar association will consider
the matter at an early meeting and
reach some definite decision.

RESTOCK TROUT STREAMS
' IN NORTHERN COLORADO

FORT COLLINS, Colo, April IL
Nearly quarter of a million small
brook trout will be released in the
Poudre and other streams in Larimer
county next week for the restocking
of these streams, if conditions at the
time are favorable. 1t is hoped thus
to make the county a "fishermen's
paradise" To that end the fish incu-
bator, erected at the expense of local
sportsmen has been worked overtime.
Many thousands of trout hatched dur
ing the fall months were released as
soon as they were Of sufficient size
and during the winter the latest set
ting of 0,OO0 brook trout eggs were
placed in the hatchery. 1t is estimat-
ed by Game Warden Joe Gray, who
has the hatchery in charge, that a 96
per cent hatch resulted.
The fish were Matched several
weeks ago and are now getting to a
size sufficient to warrant release in
the streams.
The hatcheries in Loveland and
Estes Park will also be used to i'm,
prove the quality and quantity of fish
in the county streams.

HALF MILL LEVY PETITION

ADJUSTMENT OF COUNTY
TAXES.
(Gunnison News -Champion.)

(GunnlSOn NeWS-CnAWplOn.)
This week the tax schedule blanks
are being sent out and it should be
remembered that i. is the duty of
each taxpayer to fill out these blanks
and return them to the assessor or
his deputies before the twentieth of
May. This duty involves the right
Of the taxpayer to fix value on his
own property, and il the value is in
creased, this taxpayer can meet the
assessor for the purpose Of adjust
ment. And then in September the
board of county commissioners meet
as a board of equalization and it is
this boards duty to equalize taxes as
between various taxpayers and to
make additions to property which may
have been left off of the tax roll
and to make recommendations to the
state tax commission. So that the
taxpayer has every chance in the
world to hace his property justly
valued. First, he makes out his own
schedule and then if his values are
raised, he is notified by the assessor
to appear before the proper officials
to claim adjustments. Observance of
these rules by the taxpayers will weed
out many difficulties.
The tax commission contend that,
if the taxpayer fails to make out and
return a schedule properly sworn to,
he has no right to claim adjustments
And it Is clear that if the taxpayer
fails to appear before the county
board of equalization in September,
he has no right to claim adjustment.
1T is the intention of the law that .ev-
cry opportunity be given the taxpay-
er for adjustments, but it should be
remembered by the taxpayer that the
law makes the provisions for these
adjustments and if these provisions
are not observed then the taxpayer
loses rights to such adjustments.
The board of county commissioners
in tax matters acts largely as a cleri-
cal body. The levy is made by tax
ing the valuation of, all of the prop
erty in the county, determining the
amount which is needed for county
purposes, and deducting the conse-
quent levy. An effort is being made
to clear up the difficulties which have
attended the introduction of new
system and the taxpayers should aid
in this matter by observing the rules.
Read the provisions on the back of
the tax schedules which are furnish
ed by the assessor, read the instruc-
tions Of the tax commission to the as
SCISSOR, and you will do much to bring
about just valuations.
