Decision Against state Tax Board.

decision Against state ak Board.
A decision of great interest to every
county in the state has just been hand
ed down by District Judge Perry at
Denver in relation to the right of the
state board of equalization to order
increases in the valuation of property.
The Judge refused to grant a writ of
mandamus ordering Assessor Pitcher
of Denver to make $50, 900. 900 increase
in valuations ordered by the state
board. The judge holds that the in
crease is arbitrary and was made with
out any investigation on the part of
the board. The matter will not end
with the decision of Judge Perry, but
eventually will reach the supreme
court on appeal
If Judge Perry is right every county
in the state can fight the increases, as
what applies to Denver county applies
to all. Other counties have objected
as strenuously as Denver to valuations
being raised by the board, but the in
creases have invariably been made
without any fight in court. The gener-
al belief Is that the board has the
right to make alterations in the assess
ment rolls of every county, and the
recent decision of the United States
supreme court in a case appealed from
Denver is along these lines. Judge
Perry's opion is apparently based more
on the fact that he considers the in
crease an arbitrary one.
Whether the state board of equaliza-
tion is law unto itself with the power
OF fixing at its pleasure the valuation
of all property in the state, may be
definitely fixed when the supreme
court passes upon the Denver case. It
cannot be disputed that increases have
been made in various counties where
no members familiar with the proper
ty than the local assessor. Arbitrary
increases have been common, and
while 1t is possible that Denver is en-.
deavoring to escape paying its share
OF state taxes, there may be justifica-
tion for the belief of Judge Perry that
the Denver increase was made in an
unwarranted manner.-Pueblo Star

Patrick Bynes.-The perpetual
graft carried on by the political parties
is what is making the public sick and
tired OF them. Placed in charge Of
state or national affairs they seem to
think that their first and solemn duty
is to squeeze more and more taxes
out of the people. and for what pur-
pose? Why, principally to pay big
salaries to lot of office holders
whose main work is to help build up
a stronger political machine to keep
them in power-and the tax payers

"HUMAN FISH" TO
VISIT TULSA ''Y
George III. Corsan Will In
struct Boys and Men
of This City.

After several months of negotia-
last arranged an engagement with
George II. Corsan "the human fish,
TO visit the local association for Il
week. Mr. Corsan's dates have been
set as May 30 to Jure 3, during which
week he will spend several hours a
day in the pool.
Mr.. Corsan is without peer as a
swimming instructor and in fact
stands alone in his line. Seeing many
years ago that ii was unnecessary to
give individual lessons he devised the
massed or wholesale method of teach
ing the crawl stroke. SO successful
has this proven that it is called the
Corsan system.
The plan is now in operation all
over the world but it has never been
operated with such perfection as its
originator reaches. He has set forth
the Water" which is included in
every Y. NJ. c. a. and athletic club
library in the country.
Mr.. Corsan is swimming instructor
of the University of Toronto and is
official representative of both the In
ternational Y. NJ c. A. and the Boy
Scout Masters o. America. He spends
almost his entire time going over the
county. teaching boys to handle them
selves in the water.
He holds the worlds record for
teaching, having ir three months
taught the rudiments of the art to fif-
ty thusand boys. This means that each
one of them swan 20 yards with the
correct crawl stroke under the eye of
Mr.. COrsan. Many of them went
farther but this is the minimum at
which one is considered as being able
to swim.
While in this city Mr.. Corsan will
conduct a weeks swimming campaign.
He does not intend to teach indi-
viduals or even classes but whole
cities.
