Ma. II. Thrift In War Time

Years of great prosperi-
ty are before us, and the
continuing habit of thrift
among the people will fort
ify America in it's new role
of world banker and assure
the prosperity of the nation
indefinately.'-- - attl e
Post-Intelligencer.
Strange as it may seem, the
greatest amount of saving does
not take place in most prosper
Gus times. Conditions such as
have arisen in some parts of
this country as a result of the
war in Europe are often the
signal for a return to a simpler
scale of living and an increased
proportion of saving.
1t will not take a very large
increase of savings per capita
to make a radical increase in
the amount of capital avail
able yearly on that increase will
be necessary to keep the fact
cries, the railroads and the
mines going.
With the great European ma
tons out of the market as lend
ers of money, there is greater
need in America for the cultiva-
ton of the saving habit among
the people to accumulate CAPT
tai with which to finance not
only the growing demands of
this nation, but also of those
portions of the world that re-
main at peace. If Americans
respond to this new duty there
will be no lack of capital for all
the needs that are likely to be
felt.
But will they?
The trouble is that as the
prosperity of the country has
grown, most people have taken
on more costly habits of living.
1t is easy to let the dimes and
dollars slip away into new ways
of spending, and triply hard
to return to former frugal hab-
it's.
This is a time for persons in
moderate circumstances to cast
away all false pride. They
should feel no shame, even if
they do cook their own dinners,
shine their own shoes, shovel
their own snow and carry their
own suitcases when travel
ing.
The life insurance companies
advertise that only 8 percentof
those who die leave an estate.
Ninety-five men make money,
only five adequately save; on
ly 5 per cent. provide for the
future. Out of this 5 per cent.
who leave estates, much more
than one-half are found among
the poorer class of people.
Many who live in fine houses
and ride about in limOusines
are constantly in debt and have
a very hard time to make both
ends meet. They leave no es-
tates. 1t is noticed that the
habit of saving has increased
among the common people in
the last few years. while among
those who are often deemed
rich it has decreased.

ease was blackleg and Immediately
called up the Colorado State Agricui-
tural College for advice. Then he ar
ranged by telephone to have local
deputy State veterinarian make tho
25-mile automobile trip to = the
farm with him. In just two hours
from the time the call was received
the veterinarian and the county agent
were at work vaccinating calves and
yeariings attacked by blackleg. The
work had to be done by the dim Light

were, until recently, in arrears on
their 1913 and 1914 taxes. Repeated
efforts were made to collect it by the
treasurer, but without result. The
proposition was taken up by the
board of county commissioners and
the state tax commission and com
promise made on the 1913 taxes on
two-thirds of the assessment, in con-
sequence of which they paid over to
the county treasurer $500 in settle
ment. About eighty per cent Of the
1914 taxes were collected.
The assessed valuation of the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek Railroad in
this county in 1913 was $1.o7S.44o and
the assessment value of the Canon
City & Cripple Creek Railroad COM
pany for the corresponding year was
$153,27O. The wash-out of the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek Railroad COM
pany's property in Phantom canon
occurred after the 1914 assessment
was made and it's valuation that year
was fixed at s5O9,740. The Canon
City and Cripple Creek Railroad COM
pany, whose line extended only from
Canon City to Ora Junta, was not in
juerd by the foods which destroyed
SO large a part of its associated prop
erty, was assessed in 1914 at an even
s15s.000, or only slightly less than
for the preceding year.
The two companies own a consid-
erable amount of movable property
in this city, which, will be sold in
the event dissolution is granted by
the utilities commission. Their real
estate here, valued at something over
$40 900, has already been disposed OF
to the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company If the two corporations are
dissolved the property used for
right-of-way for the construction OF
their lines of transportation between
the Arkansas valley and the Cripple
Creek district will revert to its ori
ginai owners as provided in the deeds
Of conveyance.
Much OF the right-of-way was thru
the public domain and was obtained
from the federal government

City Attorney Augustus Pease was
officially notified by the secretary of
the States Utilities commission on
Thursday that the Florence & Grip
pie Creek Railroad company and the
Canon City & Cripple Creek
Railroad Company had filed a
petition with that body for disso-
and asking that the action to compel
them to rebuild their lines and
restore traffic between the Arkansas
valley and the Cripple Creek district
be vacated and dismissed.
The petition for dissolution will
formally be heard before the commits,
sion in Denver on Wednesday, May
26th., at which time Judge Pease and
associate counsel for the cities of Can
on City and Florence in the proceed
ings to force reconstruction of
the road by judicial decree will ap-
pear in opposition to the proposition
and endeavor to have the matter set
aside.
The request of the two companies
for dissolution was not unexpected by
Messrs McLain & Pease, who have
kept in close touch with the various
phases of the case since suit was in
stituted a couple of years or more
ago, but it was not until Thursday
that they were apprized that
such a step had actually been
taken. If the petition for dissolution
is sustained the two companies will
surrender their charters and the board
Of directors will be authorized to sell
all of their property and distribute
the proceeds among the stockholders
pro rata, as provided by law.
Before their corporate organization
can be dissolved it will be necessary
that all of their indebtedness be hqui-
dated and TO meet this requirement
of the situation all back taxes against
them in Fremont county, amounting
TO $12,50O was paid few weeks ago.
1t is presumed that the same thing
has taken place in Teller county.
