Board Reduces Tax Valuations.

The valuations fixed by the State
Tax Commission on the Denver Tram
way Company, the Denver Gas G. Elec-
trio Light Company and the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad in Colo
RADIO, were reduced considerably by
the State Board of Equalization, which
expressed by its vote the conviction
that the commissions appraisals were
excessive.
The reductions were ordered as the
result of rigid investigation on the
part of the equalization board into the
merits of the claims of these three
concerns and fourteen others through
out the state, all contending they were
paying excessive taxation. Thirteen
of the other fourteen companies were
denied reductions, but small ameHnt
was cut from the valuation fixed on
the Cripple Creek Railways Company.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee
railroads assessment was cut by
100000, while the valuations of the
gas and tramway companies were re-
duced by about $1,O00,O0O and $4,000
0CJ, respectively.
Secretary of State Ramer, State
Treasurer Allison Stocker and State
Auditor Harry Mulnix voted in favor
Of the reductions in the assessed valu-
atoms Of the gas and tramway COM
panies, the governor and the attorney
general dissenting.
The plea Of the Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph Company for
reduction was disregarded by the
Equalization Board, as were also the
protests of several other railroads and
a number Of beet sugar and cement
companies. The American Beet Sugar
Company and the Great Western
Sugar Company were among the pro-
testers denied reductions.

Nearly 3oo, 900 More Raised on Cole
RADIO Government Land Than
Ever Before.


Denver.-Almost 100000 more head
of cattle were raised on the forest
ranges of the government in Colorado
during the last season than in 1915.
according to figures submitted by the
Denver branch of the bureau. The
season has been unusual, according to
the grazing department of the bureau.
but the cattle furnished to the market
from the forest ranges have been
shipped direct to the killer and have
not required feed lot finishing.
Permits have been issued during
the season for almost 1,125.00 head
to Craze on the forest reserves. Nine
hundred and two thousand, one hun
dred and fortysix sheep had permits,
and 979 goats. The increase during
the grazing season probably brought
the number up to more than I ,0O0, 900
sheep turned over to owners at the
Put Ban on Eastern Cattle and hogs.
Cattle were second to sheep, per-
mits being approved for 317,801 head
of cattle. and 10.1S9 head of horses.
Many of the range horses were
broken at once and put into the mar
kst for service in the European war.
This is the first year in the history
of the forest records that Colorado
forests were stocked to their full ca
pacity and officials say that permits
were refused for approximately $4,000
cattle and 215.0O0 sheep. The figures
mean two things to the forestry Off
cials-that Colorado stock raisers are
coming to realize the full worth of
the forest ranges and that this real
ization is going to put Colorado in a
more important place in the stock
raising industry.
