weld county senator ana representa-
tives: eff they think it is good politics
to help that county division. We beg to
inform them that it is not. It is the
poorest kind of politics. It will be just
matter Of choice with them whore
they want to be defeated for re-
election, right at home or In the new
county territory. If they let the new
county go thru. they will not have its
support next election anyway and they
will certainly find large number Of
people of Weld who will 60 down the
line after their scalp, if they set back
and merely vote with the unopposed
majority"
Then, as final insult to the 14O7 citi-
zsns Of the proposed county who voted
for division in December, the insinua-
ton is made that the sentiment for di-
vision il artificial. promoted by land
boomers; that these people, who have
given the matter consideration for over
two years, who own their homes and
expect to stay here, are the dupes Of
clique of office seekers. The mere fact
that the movement has taken 20 long to
develop, is sufficient to give the lie to
such an inference.
The citizens have studied the situa-
tion; they know that the new county, II
established, will have greater tax val
uation than any one of at least sixteen
other Colorado counties; that they are
not getting and cannot hope to get full.

and that they have the numbers and

such opposition is confined largely to

their own request, 10 now sore because
two townships directly tributary to Ke-
ota were not also thrown out.
Grover and Keota, both prime movers
for division, have held all along that
their people favored division on its mer-
its, and did not seek or desire office;
therefore the following proposition will
meet ready acceptance:
1.-THE Tribune Republican IL willing
to make deal with these promoters.
If this paper may name six men who
will file bond that they will not be can
didates for office at the first election in
the new county and will not seek nor
accept Office for four years, we will
withdraw our opposition to division. and
will use our influence to withdraw other
opposition.
'"To our legislative ticket we will say
that if the bill must go thru, we will
withdraw opposition if they will SO
amend the bill in the senate that the
new county will float with Morgan
county on senatorial and legislative
tickets, instead Of floating with Weld.
We believe this will test the sincerity
Of the men who are so keen for new
county for the good Of the people Of
that territory"

issue of February II, this hyphsnated
to build; to the assessors Office; and to
all the other departments Of the county
government. Prof. Copeland says, in
published address:
In my county the most serious him
ORANGES to efficient supervision are the
immense area to be covered and the
small amount of time can get outside
the necessary Office work to do the field
work. Few people have any idea of
the inadequate provision for supervision
of the rural schools a. compared with
what is provided in first and second
class districts. In Weld county land
conditions in other counties are similar)
one fourth Of the grade teachers are
under the supervision of four superin-
tendents and their distances from tho
superintendent Office do not average
half mile, while the remaining three
fourths (and these are the ones most in
need of supervisory are all under one
superintendent and are scattered over
more than four thousand square miles
of territory, many Of them from forty
to eighty miles from the superintend-
ent's Office"
In the administration Of justice the
case il the same. In little matter re-
sulting from removal Of few compar-
ativsly worthless boards from an aban-
doned place, the cost of witness mile
age for preliminary hearing alone
might far exceed the value of the prop
srty involved. Greeley lawyers can
find selfish reasons for opposing divi-
sion; but they will be chary about pre-
senting them to US and to the public.
Here il another example of hyphsn
argument: IF cutting Weld county
once in two is good thing. why is it
not good thing to quarter it, and then
bissct these quarters with new county
lines, until each farm il = separate
county, and each city and hamlet IL
county by itself and they can use the
town hall for court houss?" The an
swer is too simple. Perhaps it would
b good thing to continue the bisect-
ing operation further. That is for
those interested to say. We include in
our proposed county only the territory
which we think desirable because Of
identity Of interests, and from the point
of view Of efficiency of administration.
It 10 self government we are after, and
in the degree that will be most bsnsfi-
cial to us-and to Weld county. Why
not reverse the argument: "Now some
psopls may feel that we have plenty Of
county even if tho northeastern part
does split off. We have not;' and, to
continue, Weld county il too small. 1t
must have greater tax value and result
ing rsvenue-for Greeley. Larimer
county should be annexed; and Boulder
county; and Morgan; and Adams; and
Denver. Colorado should be only .
fraction of Weld" And 30 on. Rare
logic; but it works - we'll this way a.
the other.
But argument alone; in the opinion Of
the hyphen, il not sufficient, and
threats are rssorted to. For instance,

HISTORY OF cAPITALIsM.-

ITO Oh VT SATI INIIOWs-Nu4-
ing medieval times when the world
was shrouded in darkness the wealth
production centered around the land
and its adjunct, the serf. Consequent
ly there were only two classes of So
ciety: The landlord, who not only
owned the land but made the laws,
and the serf, who belonged to the
soil and knew nothing beyond tilling
the land.
But as the rays of science pene-.
trated the gloom change took place.
Schools were established, where the
serf's children might learn some
thing besides digging in the field.
Gradually new class of people ap-
peared. They were not landlords, for
they owned no land, and they were
not serfs, for they were not chained
to the soil. They were middle class
and since they were free to travel
from place to place they became a
trading class.
This new class increased in num-
bers and wealth until the feudal lord
became alarmed and began to pass
laws curtailing their activities. In
spite of these restrictions they con-
tinued to increase in wealth and
power until they equaled or surpassed
the landlords in the lawmaking bod
les. Then began the bitter struggle
between the two factions. The land

lord, wishing to keep intact his means
of wealth production (the land and
the serf) endeavored to pass laws
placing heavy taxes on factories,
stores, etc. And the middle man,
wishing to extend his means of
wealth production, hoped to force the
feudal lord to improve his land by
placing a heavy tax on undeVeloped
land
Before the close of the 18th CEN
fury the middle class had triumphed
and became the ruling faction. And
now, with the opposition of the feu-
dial lord practically abolished, they
were able to work out their own sal
walton. And so was born capitalistic
society.
AS time passed under the new re-
gime new class of society was born,
which was not chained to the soil
like the serf of old, and yet were not
their own masters. And as the cap
italist had more work than he could
do himself he employed these men to
help him and paid them wages.
The machine process began to take
the place of hand labor, and as one
man operating a machine could do as
much work as five or six men the cap
ftalist grew richer and richer as the
machine became more and more
nearly perfect. AS the wealth in
creased on one side there was an in
crease in poverty on the other.
Today the land plays little part in
the wealth production. The capitalist
owns the tools and the worker the
labor power.
The vital question today does not
concern taxation, but wages, for 80
per cent of the population own moth
ing assessable. Yet there is group
of people trying to draw US into the
argument on whether vacant lots or
skyscrapers should be taxed more.

The Modest Scot.

Love Of country Is SO fine a virtue
that it seems difficult to carry it to ex-
cess. A resident of a small village in
the north of Scotland paid a business
visit to London and called on a mer-
chant who, unknown to him, had nce
made a stay in his native place. In
the course Of conversation the visitor
made use Of an expression that led the
other to exclaim. Surely you come
from Glen McLuskie?" The assertion,
however, was denied. Presently, to the
merchants surprise, another Glen Nc
Luskie expression was heard. my
dear Mr.. MacTavish, l feel convinced
that you are a Glen McLuskie man
after ALL" insisted the merchant.
"Weel," returned the other. 'In no
deny it any longer"
"Then why didn't you say so at
frstY demanded the Englishman.
"Weel," was the calm response, II
didna like to boast O. it in London."-

they were not a philosophic sect and
