To Enforce 1911 Flat Tax Law.

Many thousands OF dollars will be
collected from foreign corporations do.
ing business in Colorado as the re-
suit of a campaign which has been
started by the secretary of states de-
partment to enforce law passed in
1911 which has been a dead letter up
to the present time. Under this law
foreign corporations when coming in
to Colorado are permitted when they
make filing in the flat tax department
of the secretary of states office to
make an affidavit showing the
amount of corporate capital, property
and assets employed In this state.
Upon this statement the filing fee of
$50 for the first $4,000 and 80 cents
a thousand for each additional thou,
sand is based. The law further pro.
vides that whenever the annual re-
port of such corporation shows sub
sequently that the amount of capital
creased, that the corporation must
pay the state an additional 80 cents
for each additional thousand dollars
on it's filing fee. Clerks have been
set to work under the direction of
w. B. Slife, flat tax clerk, checking
the books of the department to en-
force this section of the law. Many
large concerns, according to Slife,
have increased their capital in this
state since making their original I'LL
ing.

Greater Part Of Cattle Losses on
Ranges Charged to Predatory
Animals.
Denver.-Predatofy animals exact
the largest toll of livestock grazing
on the national forests, of the West.
while disease causes the smallest pro-
portion of animal losses, according to
figures for 1915 compiled by John H.
Hatton, assistant district forester in
the Denver Federal building. Wolves
were responsible for the greater part
of the cattle losses last year. Bears
were second in importance. Coyotes
killed three-fourths OF the sheep,
while bears, lynxes and wildcats were
responsible for the remainder of the
sheep losses.
The total of animal losses for 1915
in national forests in Western states
was more than 100000. the report
states. The losses represent less than
l per cent of total OF 1,937,64O cat.
tie and horses and S,732,210 sheep
and goats. The loss of horses was
only about 10 per cent of the cattle
losses.
Cattle losses from disease last sum.
mer on the national forest ranges il,
Colorado were 342 head; from preda
tory animals, 327 head Predatory
animals exacted toll of 1882 sheep
Nineteen horses we're killed aud for
ty-seven horses lost through disease
Poisonous plants took a toll of /.
9S6 cattle and LOCI sheep. Concerted
effort to clear the forest ranges Of
larkspur and other deadly plants will
be made this spring under the diree+
ton of l.. H. Douglas, forest examiner
in the office of Mr.. Hatton.
Larkspur was responsible for the
loss of IS per cent of the cattle
poisoned. Loco weed principally is
blamed for the poisoning of horses.
OF the diseases resulting in the
death of cattle, blackleg is one of the
most important which the forest serv-
ice has to combat.
War on predatory animals is being
waged by the United States Biological
Survey, assisted by the forest service
livestock associations and cattlemen.
Congress appropriated s125,000 for the
destruction OF predatory animals dur
ing the year beginning July /, 1915
