IMPORTANT DECISION

An important decision has been
handed down by Judge Sheafor, of
the district court of Ell Paso county.
Colorado, in regard to the law levy
ing a double taxation on mines out
put, passed by our last legislature.
Judge Sheafor granted an injunc-
ton in favor of the Vindicator and
Granite Gold Mining companies, of
Teller county, restraining the treas
urer and county commissioners Of
Teller county from collecting the
taxes assessed against their output
for the year 1913. Judge Sheafor
held that tie law passed by the last
Legislature was void, inasmuch as 1t
conflicted with the Federal constit-
ution and led to injustice and in
equality. He held that all property
including mines, must be taxed at
it's value, and that the actual value
of a producing mine is the net pro-
ceeds of the preceding year. The
case VIII now go to the supreme
court for final opinion.

RETURN SENATOR THOMAS

There is a text as old as holy writ
by their fruits ye shall know them.
But two short years ago the Hon. c.
5. Thomas was selected by the SOW
creign vote of free people, to
serve out the uneXpired term of the
lamented Charles j. Hughes, Jr., as
United States senator. MT. Thomas
had previously served his state as
governor, was a lawyer of ability
and had displayed eloquence and pro-
found thought in many a welkfought
campaign, that brought victory to
his party, but as debator and par
liamentarian in the highest councils
of the greatest nation known, he
was an unknown quantity. With
in two short months after his creden-
tials had been presented to that aug
ust body for approval, he was placed
upon the steering committee, that dir
ects and guides national legislation.
Here his ability was recognized and
he was made a member of the fl
nance committee to assist in framing
the financial bill that has but lately
been given to the people. and will
forever tie the hand of men of fl
nance precipitating panic upon
the country. That one act alone is
worth more to the American people
than all the money that has ever
been expended for her armies and
her navy. President Wilson, ever on
the alert for safe and sane advisers
through the breakers of troubled wat
ers, selected this new and rising
young senator as one of his staff ad
visers, and Colorado, although young
in the constellation of states, has
the proud distinction of being one Of
the foremost states of the union in
the voice of governmental affairs,
and all her loyal sons and daughters,
regardless of party, should rally to
his standard and see that his elec-
tion is beyond the shadow of doubt.
in Colorado, when the administra-
ton is doing all that can be done by
mortal man to free us from financial
bondage, that Senator Thomas be re-
turned to his post of honor, thereby
keeping intact the chain that is slow
ly, though surely binding the disci-
pies of high finance from ever again
expressing the people. A reactionary
element of his party, who thrive up
on ill-gotten gains. is now at work
to not only defeat the senator, but
the will of the people of the great
state of Colorado, and it is the duty
of every citizen of this state to see
that he is returned to the United
States senate.

LOVE TRAGEDY OF ESKIMO
Tale Of a Sleeping Bag and an Adven-

a great crevasse yawned between the
