.IEw COUNTY OF ASPEN DOES
NOT PLEASE ASPEN PEOPLE


Senator Napier has stirred up hor-
nets nest when he introduced in the
legislature bill making the county Of
Aspen out Of . part Of Gunnison and
Pitkin. The new county would not dis
'turb Carbondale and Basalt. The Aspen
paper has the following to say on the
subject:
.sBills to establish the County Of Al.
pen have been introduced In the legisla-
ture by Senator Napier in the Senate
and Representative Downing in the
House
''The purpose Of the bill is to annex
the Marble district In Gunnison county
to what ID now Pitkin county-snd that
Il all-simply Q swipe Of . chunk of
Gunnison county. And 70 further put .
bad feature on the s'steal" from our
neighbor. Senator Napier has introduc-
ed Z bill 70 do away with the State Nor
NAL School 1t Gunnisou city. The peo-
PIE Ut Pitkin county don't like that sort
Of stealing.
Had tbs proposition been made to cut
chunk out Of Gunnison and tack II on
to Pitkin. the matter would have had to
b voted on by the people Of this and
Gunnison counties and 1t 10 reasonably
certain that the proposition would have
been voted down.
'sThersfore, the easiest way ID put
esthing across vas 70 draw up bull
estabiishinG new county which would
include the desired territory, (some 1903
square miles), and push It through the
legislature, thus depriving the people of
. chance to vote upon the proposition.
Upon the face Of Il II would seem .
good thing 70 swap the present Pitkin
county for = new county which would
include Marble district-BUT WOULD
1T Il Il contended that the change
will be . good thing for the people Of
Marble and that section. ~ they are 20
far from their county seat ct Gunnison
city, the large cost Of getting jurors
and witnesses to court, and for the fact
that for . considerable portion Of the
year they have to 60 long way round
to get 70 the county seat by way Of
Csrbondale and Glenwood Spring and

Two Billion Dollar Measure
Now Awaits Opening of
Long Struggle in
Conference.
NO TAX ON COFFEE
Wealth conscriptionists Forced Two
Important Changes in the Bill
as Presented by
Committee.

United Press Leased Wire Service.1
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE ST.
100000 revenue bill passed by the
senate. awaits the opening Of long
struggle in conference today.
Having been so changed by the SEN
ate as to bear slight resemblance to
the measure created by the house,
the bill will be made the object of
violent attack by members of the low
er branch. 1t carries s407.00O,00O
more than the house measure and pro-
vides a similar method of raising
money on war profits, incomes and
liquor.
Wealth conscriptionists forced two
important changes in the measure as
recommended for passage by the fin
ance committee. War profits taxes
were increased about $500, 100000 and
consumption taxes on tea. coffee. SUI
gar, cocoa and molasses amounting to
SS6 100000 were eliminated.
While it is probable the conferees
Will return the bill to both houses in
much the same form as it stands now,
there will be lively fight against its
acceptance. led by Representatives
Kitchin, Fitzgerald and Speaker Clark,
who think wealth should do more
than the bill demands.
AS the bill goes into conference it
would raise one billion from war
profits, taxed on a sliding scale and
iaveraging 81 per cent on incomes
would yield sS42, 200 900. paying from
one to fifty per cent, according to their
size; s21S, 200, 900 from liquor; $780,
100000 from tobacco; s146,70O,000
from transportation facilities. public
utilities, etc, and s81,0O0,000 from
automobiles and other luxUries.
The points over which the confer
ence fight may rage are elimination of
the house tariff duty on everything in
common use, not already under tariff
and horizontal increase of ten per
cent on all existing tariff duties; elm
ination Of the Inheritance taxes, and

SOCIALISTS
WANT PEACE
Victor Berger Says Germans
Clearly Show They Are
Tired of the
War.
ALL FOR DEMOCRACY
Scheidemann's Interview Taken as
Indication of Germany Be-
coming Republic
After the War.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
MILWAUKEE. Wis, Sept lin
depreciation Of Mondays interview
with Philip Schiedemann, German
socialist majority leader, by John
Grandens, United Press staff cor
respondent, at Berlin, means that the
German socialist-democratic party
wants peace, according to Victor
Berger, former socialist congressman
and editor of the Milwaukee Leader,
socialists newspaper.
There can be no doubt that the
German social-democratic party open
ly and clearly wants peace, SAID
Berger.
Moreover, it is also well known
that the German social-democratlc
party is absolutely anti-monarchial
and in favor of republican form OF
government and that it is more truly
democratic than any capitalist demo-
cratic party in the Notwithstanding
the United States.
cit was to be foreseen before that
Philip Scheidemann, leader of the
socialist party, in Germany, would
make use of President Wilson's an
swer to the pope to push the demo
eradication Of Germany.
| However,, there are the following
| facts to be taken into consideration:
THE German people will stand for
no radical changes in the political
| makeup Of Germany while the war
lasts.
Germany is sure to become a re-
public after the war. But the Ger
man people themselves will have TO
accomplish the change from a mon
archy to a republic. They will not
yield to any outside dictation Of their
| internal affairs, any more than the
American people would yield
| The basis for a lasting peace can
be found in the presidents answer to
the pope, If it be followed up in this
way:
Let the governments that are at
upon a peace which is to be endorsed
| by a referendum of the people of all
the warning nations, including Ger
many, England and the United States.
! That would be better guarantee
than any treaty; signed by the var
ious governments.
| Moreover I also believe with
Scheidemann that the best guarantee
| is the fact that at least all the
| European countries are so exhausted
| that new war is out Of the question
| for at least thirty years. Within that
time socialism and democracy will
have made such Roadway in every
country that the worlds civilization

mated today Corn, beans, tomatoes,
cucumbers, potatoes, squash and
pumpkins suffered heavily throughout

son, of the Minnesota food produc-
ton committee, who estimated the
total damage to war. crops last night
at $4,000, 900, today said it would be
considerably less, as corn is not so
badly affected as first believed. He
said ten percent of the states corn
crop had matured beyond danger
from frost
