Amendment No. 5 on the ballot TO
be voted next Tuesday seeks to abolish
the State Tax Commission because it
interferes with valuation placed by cor
porations on their own property. The
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly has
advised all wage-earners to vote against
this amendment.
In four years, since the creation of
the Colorado tax commission, S22,726. 800
has been added to the assessed valuation
of the public utilities in Colorado.
Valuation of public utilities this year
represents POI per cent of the total
valuation OF the state, as compared with
l4.4 per cent of the total valuation OF
the state which was borne by the cor.
porations of this nature in 1912.
These two facts, in the opinion of DR.
J. b. Phillips, chairman of the state taA
commission, have brought about the
fight which is being made by the cor
porations this year on the commission
Corporation lawyers and agents believe
that by getting rid of the tax commits
sion they can lessen their burden OF
taxation.
Statistics prepared by the tax commits
sion show that the assessed valuation OF
railroad, telegraph, telephone, express
sleeping car and private car lines and
local public utilities was $254, 4,8l5,0IC

Especial Correspondence).

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The bureau
of naturalization of the United States
department OF labor is sending out calls
for mass meetings to be held thruout
the country in every city and town
whose population includes the foreign
born. The time for each mass meeting
is to be determined locally by the proper
authorities when arrangements are com
pleted.
The bureau of naturalization of the
United States department of labor has
during the past two and one-half years
proposed four events great in admins
trative governmental activities:
The first was the securing of the co,
operation of the public schools of the
United States with that bureau in citi-
zenship preparedness.
The second, the proposal to the city
of Philadelphia to hold the citizenship
reception at which the president spoke,
ON May 10. 1915.
The third, the holding of a citizen
ship convention in Washington composed
of delegates from the public schools
working in cooperation with that bu-
reau for the elevation of the standard
of American citizenship.
The fourth proposal from this pro-
gressive governmental bureau is to call 3,
mass meeting of citizens and prospective
citizens, including the actual candidates
for citizenship and the non candidates
from the foreign-born residents of each
community in the United States. These
mass meetings are, primarily, for the
purpose of getting the candidates for
citizenship into the night school classes
maintained by the public schools, in CO.
operation with the bureau of naturali-
zation, for their benefit.
Americanizing the Alien.
Working in close cooperation with the
| bureau of naturalization of the United
States department of labor, the public
school authorities of the United States
| have provided the means whereby the
adult alien population may learn to
speak, read and write the English Ian
| guage and obtain knowledge of Ameri-
can institutions and government. The
results thus far have been most far
reaching in their influence upon the pub
/ lie mind. The necessity for these citI-
zenship classes has been seen in every
city with foreign community and dem
onstrated by their organization in every
| state of the union. The advantage to
| the community is realized but the alien
| friend does not understand what they
mean to him. 1t is to bring the bene.
fits clearly to their minds that these
mass meetings have been called by the
naturalization bureau. 1t is essential
that the attendance upon these night
classes be materially increased in all sec
tions of the country. This, it is conf
| IDENTIFY believed, can be accomplished
thru a mass meeting for adult foreigner

"a hundred per cent candidate" but a

] am for Wilson because, whatever his
fortune at the coming election, his
achievements have given him a supreme
place in the list of American presidents,
because his voice, during all those bur-
dened years, has been the clear, old-time
voice OF America-the voice that to some
of us had seemed muted and overborne
by class hatreds and racial hatreds, and
the snarling scramble for dividends.
However the coming election may turn
the pages of American history which
President Wilson has written these past
four years will be forever illumined with
the white light OF stars and our children
and grandchildren will indeed have cause
to thank God for Woodrow Wilson.

other organizations, together with the
superintendents Of schools, civil authori-

time is ripe to strike an effective blow
at illiteracy and incompetency by stimu-
latng the interest of employees and

In inducing Mr.. Ford to adopt the
principle of equal pay to women for
equal work, and to pay to his female en-
ployes the same wages as to his male
employees ($5 per day., Mr.. Wilson has
done more for the equality of the sexes
for equal rights, for the forward
movement among women = than Mr..
Hughes has done in his lifetime.
Mr.. Wilson believes in not only equal
suffrage, but in the greater principle OF
equal rights for all, male and female.

MR.. HUGHES ANSWERS.
Those Who clamored for His Views
Are Hearing Them.

Those friends of Democracy who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high office of justice
of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of majority of
the people as expressed through their
instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces-
sary to he done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which II is entitled in the
eyes of the world.

Good Fruit Prices Ahead.

Smiles are beginning to wreath
the faces OF the fruit growers. AL
though many sections of this state
escaped less fortunately from the cold
weather of the late spring. this valley
bids fair now to turn off very fair
crop. The producing area is not con-
fined to any one part of the valley,
and it must be admitted that many
orchards will not yield enough fruit
to pay for picking: but the present
100 to $50 cars of peaches and in the
neighborhood of 400 cars of apples.
The quality of both peaches and ap-
pies this year should be unusually
would retard the development of the
peaches and cause the average run of
sizes to be smaller than is desired by
the high-class trade to which we cater,
but the warmth of June and July gave
them good start and it is now quite
assured that they will be of good size
and the usual high color. Apples have
been remarkably free from worms and
thus far there has been no hail to ruin
the prospect of high grade stock. The
size and the color. also, promise to be
good.
Local fruit men are inclined to be
very optimistic over the outlook for
prices. This is the first season in
several years that shipper has felt
any degree of assurance that prices
will hold firm. The consuming mar
kets have been taking great quanti-
ties of fruit at abnormally high prices,
and the volume of the offerings seems
not to have the usual effect of reduc,
ing prices. Bartlett pears from the
Grand valley have found ready outlet
at prices we'll above two dollars box.
AS much as $3.50 has been paid in
eastern markets for siX-basket carriers
of peaches. Apple shippers and buyers
have not made bold to guess at an op-
ening figure as. yet. but a generally
stronger tone is detected in the atti.

Need of Constructive Legislation.

just before the European war broke
out we had million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half mil
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half u million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market. and
industry was gradually becoming
stngnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. II Is gen
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Redfield and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were soon TO appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak
of war on the continent.

MR.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"kEPT-US-OUT-OF
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept.
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
"Kept us out of WARP" he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-gOod
American soldiers. shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, 1t was a very ignoble war. /
have heard three. explanations Of the
Vera Cruz move.
"First, 1t was explained that 1t was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the f1ag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then 1t was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatload of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and 1t has
been shown that it reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
"When that reason was shown to
be untenable, third one-and possibly
the real one-finally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move TO compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
THAT is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises" !"
