Choosing The Chargers
BY ]. S. Hoy.

These are busy days at the stock
are coming into Denver by the train
load for final inspection and then
sent on their way to European bat
tlefelds. The inspectors books show
that the run has reached 5000.
With plenty of men and yards,
chutes and pens arranged for their
work, there is no hitch in the bust
ness There are about twenty-five
men busy every minute-with ten
riders. four at the inspection stand,
three to brand three to trim the
names, tails and hoofs and a half
dozen more to attend to odds and
ends. The horses are tied along two
sides OF one pen where they are bri-
died and saddled and some of them
foot saw-dust trail a hundred yards
long enclosed with Ceven-foot
tight board fence. 1t is likely
that not one horse in twenty ever
had saddle on before. 1t may be
gentle as harness horse but with a
saddle cinched tight the performance
is all new and strange. The ruling
passion of range-raised horses as
well as of men is to buck when
things are not to their liking, SO the
horse hesitates about running the
one hundred yard gauntlet. Then
the ringmaster reminds 1t of it's duty
by smart lash or two with a buggy
whip and the horse goes down the
stretch plunging and bucking to
the animal is taken in hand and un-
saddled as quickly as expert fingers
can do it. The rider grabs his brid-
die and saddle and hurries back and
at one-third the distance lodges out
of the way for the next rider and SO
1t goes without a hitch or stop. The
hundred yard race testes the horses
winds hooks and ankles. l noticed
that the inspector looked first and
longest at the feet believing with the
Arab, mo foot, no horse" An at
tendant presses the lips apart with
thumb and finger; a quick glance is
all that is needed to tell the age. If
the candidate passes it is led into a
pen where II Is branded three times
M inside the bullock. U on the
thigh, with turkey track on the
hip. The end of the tail is cut
square off on a line with the hooks.
Then the horse passes to another
corral where the name is sheared
off, the hoofs pared and the feet are
smooth shod il thought necessary,
when the horse is ready for the car.
Sometimes the name is left on, some
names being more ornamental than
others. About now the inspector
may ask: Are there any more?"
Yes, about a half dozen. On the day
l was there half dozen car loads

SUGGESTS eo4o PER CENT BASIS
Senator Shafroth Makes Suggestion
Regarding District Finances.

During the discussion of the District
Of Columbia appropriation bill in che
Senate late this afternoon Senator
Norris, in support of his PROPOSE
tion for an exemption of $500 in
assessments on improved property. said.
I'VE ought to give a premium to the
lieve that small houses here are as
sessed too high. We should do something
to relieve the tax burden which now falls
on the poor man. We have exempted
from the personal taxes in the District
$1,000, and I believe we should go
step farther and help the owners of
small homes. I would also advocate
q larger tax on unoccupied and unim-
proved land to drive the speculators
out. We now tax man who is max
ing the effort to build a home for the
benefit of the SPECTATORS in land
Senator Shafroth of Colorado said
that he intended to offer an amend
ment to the bill providing that after
June 80. 1916, the portion of the ex-
penditures of the District paid out of
the Districts revenue should be SO per
cent and the portion paid by the fed
eral government should be 40 per cent
Of the whole. He said that he had be-
come convinced that the half-and-half
plan put too much upon the federal
government.
The Johnson rider. however, he de-
clared, might prove very unfair to the
District. Therefore, I am in favor Of
the intermediate proposition which I
have offered" said Senator Shafroth.
."I think it would be wrong to have all
the expenses of the District paid out of
taxes raised in the District, in view of
the great property holdings Of the gov
ernment here. and that might easily
happen under the plan of the Johnson
rider"

olution today to prohibit the eastern

ed by the interstate commerce commits
