CAPITAL CORRESPONDENCE

NO department OIL State is showing
more activity in these last few months
than the land office.
With the appointment of Mr.. Vivian
as register, a new regime was inaugur-
ated and a new spirit infused into that
very important branch Of the state s
business. From January to May 49,
1877 acres of land were sold for an av-
erage price of $7.19 an acre; while from
June to December, under Mr.. Vivian IS
management, 1860 acres were sold ut
the average price of $10.5S. This shows
an increase of over forty per cent. For
the year 1914, the average price re.
ceived was $7.35.
In addition to this fine showing, a
very large sum has been collected in
rentals and royalties from parties who
were in arrears in their payments
Bills for over $13O,OO0, covering such
arreages, were sent out recently with a
notice that contracts would be cancelled
unless those delinquent payments were
made at once.
AS result of these improved bust.
ness methods, the state treasurer, last
week, distributed 1925, l6s.05 to the diff
felent counties for school purposes
Last year at this time there was only
$l67,7369 to distribute. This shows
a gain of over 80 per cent in Mr..
Vivian's favor and is participated in by
every school district in the state. 1t
is probable that another distribution
of a sum equally as large will be made
next July.
In addition to the above fine show
ing there was added to the permanent
school fund $269, 9,sO0.33, in 1915, against
$196,075.93 in 1914.
The state still owns about 2,96O,O 900
acres. Much of this is coal land, some
of it oil land, and little of it is gold
and silver districts. This property
will, in time, produce an immense rev.
enue if its control can be kept out of
inefficient and dishonest hands.
Former Congressman Cousins of Iowa
has been secured to deliver the oration
at the Lincoln Day banquet in Denver,
Mr.. Cousins, in addition to being n
very eloquent speaker, has been a close
student of Mr.. Lincoln s speeches and
state papers, and is one of the best
qualified men in the country to in.
terpret our martyr president to the
men of this generation. The committee
believes itself very fortunate in being
able to secure him.
The western slope people are prepar.

sections of the state will follow their
example.

II was he who introduced the resolution requir-

critics so that lower rates might be obtained-and
the so cent minimum has been reduced to IS

In his broadness and feeling for children, he
got bill passed to make autos slow up in passing

nance to compel autos to come to stop when pas

Believing that bona fide residents of this city
should not be put to the humiliation of arrest for

AUSTIN E. GRIFFITHS THE MAN

He is member of the National Academy of
Social and Political Science
Here you see the deep interest of the man in
municipal problems, in questions affecting labors
interests, chdens nterestS-the interests of broad
humanity A MAN WHO WAS COURAGEOUS
ENOUGH TO ADVOCATE WOMAN SUF-
FRAGE WHEN OTHERS SNEERED AT IT. A
MAN WHO COURAGEOUSLY STUMPED THIS
CITY IN BEHALF OF THE MOTHERS PEN
SlONS MINIMUM WAGE LAWS, AND OTHER
THE MEMORABLE CAMPAIGN OF 1912.
His record in the city council has been one
that continually emphasized his desire for efficiency
and service OF the general public. So well were
his efforts for economy in city administration
recognized, that Mayor Gill; on the day after the
recent primaries, publicly declared in the Post-In-
telligencer that there issues of importance
between Criffiths and myself that the tax issue
was settled.
And the tax issue is .ettled. There
is no man in public office who has striven
harder to keep taxes down than Criffiths.
Curiously, too, whenever Gill was
mayor, the tax levy reached the highest
rate.
In 1910, when Gill was mayor before,
the tax levy which he signed was 1870
mills, the highest the city ever had up to
that time.
The next year, a new regime came
into the city government. Criffiths was
one of the new councilmen, and the 1911
tax levy was reduced to 14.65 mills.
In 1912, Griffiths protested against
higher tax levy, demanded a reduction
of $4,000 from what was proposed,
and when he failed to secure the reduc-
ton, he voted against the tax budget. And
so the next year he proposed reductions.
The records are plainly on file at the city
hall.
II was Grffiths who introduced the measure
which extended the time for payment of street as
SesSrnentS from five to ten years and reduced the
interest from to 6 per cent so that small home
owners would have chance to meet the burdens
of taxation more easily.
