Higher Taxes and the Cause

From nearly every county In the
state . howl Is going up over In
creased taxation.
The 1918 increase in Garfield coun-
ty amounts to close to &40,OOO. Roads
and bridges are responsible, In
large measure, for the increase.
In Mesa county, the papers state,
In many instances, taxes have been
doubled. Other counties report simi-
lar experiences.
In this, Rio Blanco county, on re-
ceipt Of their notices, there was
good deal of kicking on the raise Of
taxes over that of 1912. And quite
a number of unthinking people were
ready to jump on the assessor and
board of county commissioners, on
account Of the raise. Neither are to
blame. The blame rests on the state
tax commission, which, arbitrarily
raised the valuation In this county
nearly two million dollars. And .
four to three decision Of our supreme
court sustained the tax commission
In its guess as to what valuations
should be In the different counties.
Had it not been for the outrage per-
petrated on Rio Blanco county by
the state tax commission our taxes
would have been less this year than
last.
In this county, the farmers are do
ing most of the kicking; but they are
not hit as hard as property-owners 10
Meeker. Last spring, 9 COMMITTEES
Of the town council, In conjunction
with Assessor Hartke, raised every
piece Of property in town fifty per
cent and over; later, along comes the
state tax commission and adds ,
fifty-nine per cent raise to what was
already q full cash value. Kick !!
What's the use Take it into the
courts Lawyer and court fees
would amount to more than the in
creased taxation.
But II the same dose should be
given us next year, fight it II 1t takes
all the resources of the county.
It was q damnabIe outrage for that
Denver bunch Of alleged experts to
raise valuations In this caunty, ~ II
did, without first calling Assessor
Hartke In and giving him hearinG q
on his assessment.

Kansas City Cattle Market

The Rickart Kansas City market
report Of last Monday, says:
Cattle receipts last week were
1000 head less than previous week,
and 5000 less than corresponding
week last year. The reduction was
largely due to hampered shipping
facilities, account Of the storm, and
the result was an advance Of l6 to 35
eents on killing grades. After
"Wednesday there was slight weak
ness on killing kinds, as buyers ex-
pected good receipts this week.
Etockers and feeders grew stronger
ss the week progressed, and senti-
ment was universal that the market
was bidding last farewell to its low
spot"

Surveyor w. H. Clark Of Meeker,
was a passenger on the outgoing
stage Wednesday morning, enroute
home from a trip to Utah. His mis-
sion to the Mormon state was In con-
nection with the route to be selected
In western Colorado for the proposed
Lincoln highway. Meeker people
will leave nothing undone to place
their town on this highway, and the
sentiment in Utah is decidedly in
favor Of the Meeker- Vernal route,
according to Mr.. Clark.-Rifle Tele-

How They Love Each Other

The Hayden editor had spell of
spouting last week about the balmy
zephyrs that float about that burg
while Steamboat and Craig were
encased In storm clouds. He didn't
have to wait until judgment day to
get his reward for such base slander.
Last Sunday while the warm spring
sun was starting the rills all about
Craig, a blizzard struck Hayden such
as the Oldest inhabitant has no mem
ory of and the Hayden editor has had
plenty of time to consider his sins
while shoveling snow.-Craig Courier

The Good Roads Movement

The signatures of about 81, 900 good
enthusiasts In the state will be
necessary to initiate the bill for the
half mill levy as proposed by the
Colorado Good Roads Association
and by the County Commissioners
association of the state. This number
Of names must be secured, and the
petitions filed with the secretary of
state by July l.
The committee now working pre-
pairing the draft of the bill will have
the same resdy within few days
and meeting Of the committees
named by the two associations to
have charge of this will at once be
called. These Committees are COM
posed Of E. f. Sommers, Denver;
Charles F. Tew, Greeley; W. P. Har-
low, Boulder; George NJ. Patterson,
Fort Morgan; c. R. McLain, Canon
City; J. w. Deane, Aspen and w. l..
Anderson Of Pueblo, representing the
Colorado Good Roads Association,

County Commissioners Association: !:
r. H. Higgins, Pueblo; J. g. Clark,
Boulder; J. G. Schweigart, Canon
City; Ed c. Levin, Leadville; Virgil
johnson, Cheyenne Wells and w. G.
Lewis, Greeley.
Preparation to the initiation of this
measure the Colorado Good Roads
Association is now commencing an
active membership campaign which
Is to be carried into every section of
the state. II is believed that the hope
of carrying through successfully any
campaign which may be inaugurated
for better roads lies In the strength
of q most representative mem
bership. Therefore every business
and professional man in the state. as
we'll as every business house in Colo
RADIO will be asked to become MEM
bers of the association. The first OF a
series Of letters soliciting member
ship were sent out this week, one
being addressed to every bank in the
state.
The Colorado Good Roads Associa-
tion also proposes to issue a booklet
which will deal with good roads in
this state, and which will answer the
many inquiries constantly received
at the headquarters Of the associa-
tion as to where are the best roads in
Colorado. This booklet, 1t is hoped,
can be issued within the next month.
The first distribution of the
pamphlets giving the resolutions
adopted and papers read at the recent
Colorado Springs convention has
called for requests from many quar-
ters for additional copies. The paper
read by John A. Whitaker, Senior
Highway engineer of the Federal
Good Roads Bureau at Washington
on the maintenance of good roads is
attracting much attention. Copies OF
this pamphlet may be had by ad-
dressing The Colorado Good Roads

.101 Ranch Wild West

The '101 Ranch" show gave perform ances yesterday afternoon and last night at Smiths park, which drew large crowds and were enjoyed by people who like scenes typical of the early days in the west. Amusement managers have suc- ceeded in 'cornering" most of the wild vest that has survived the inroads of civilization and former days are vividly recalled by cowgirls cowboys. Indians, ancient pIainsmen and others who were conspicuous before the era of barbed wire fences drove most of the cowboys into other pursuits and the methods of a be- nevolent government converted the h. dians into amiable dependents or self supporting farmers.
 The '101" ranch of the Miller Brothers & Arlington is exploited both in moving pictures and in the wild west, show which appeared here yesterday. The amusement feature of the enterprise is ythe largest wild west" show now on the road. since Buffalo Bill' became in- volved in financial difficulties. The per formances yesterday were very good throughout and we'll worth seeing The riding was feature that won deserved applause. while the well trained horses and scenes from pioneer days. such as carrying the mail by pony express, ths holdup of u stage coach, the attack of all immigrant outfit" Indian dances,' ex- pert shooting lariat throwing and games of the cowgirls and cowboys made up 8 programme of much interest and enjoy ment
 There were two large crowds in attend ance yesterday afternoon and last night who applauded the many good features of the show. The visit yesterday was not the first time the "101'' show has been to Birmingham, but the courteous treatment given the public by the man. agement and the excellent programme of fered made many new friends for the or ganization. The performances were ell. tertaining throughout and free from al objectionable features
