Scandal is the tattle of fools who
judge all others by themselves.
If you get yours in this world you
won't have to worry about what you'll
get in the next.

NOT AFRAID TO
TELL THE TRUTH
BULLETINS POLICY ONE
OF EDUCATION.
President and Secretary of Pioneer
Labor Union in Colorado Furnish
Voluntary Letter as to Their
Faith in This Paper.

In view of an attempt being made
by certain alien officials of the United
Mine Workers to libel The Denver
Labor Bulletin with the organized la
Dor movement and advertising patrons
The Bulletin prints a letter received
voluntarily from the president and
secretary of Denver Typographical
Union No. 40, the pioneer labor or
ganiZation of Colorado. 1t is as fol-
lows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
Having been subscribers of The Dem
yer Labor Bulletin for several years,
it is with pleasure that we are able to
say that we believe it to be one of the
best, if not the very best, labor papers
published.
Since its acquisition by Messrs
Houston and Hines its improvements
have been so vast and SO numerous
that any laboring man or woman who
is not a regular subscriber is missing
something really worth while.
1t champions labor's cause first,
last and all the time. 1t is too human
to be without prejudice, but when pref
udice does occur, it is always on the
side of labor.
Colorado seriously needs a newspa-
per that is willing and not afraid to
tell the laborer's side of all vital ques-
tons, and The Bulletin certainly fills
the bill.
But we should not feel that our full
duty has been done when we pay for
years subscription. The advertis-
ers should be favored with our patron
age and we should also inform them
where we saw their announcements.
Present day journalism, generally
speaking, is so absolutely subservient
to the almighty dollar that the rights
of the great majority-we who must
toil-are either being ignored entirely
or so viciously perverted that we are
continually being placed in false
light and misinformed. If it pays the
capitalistic class to spend millions in
muzzling and controlling great press
associations and the papers they serve,
then surely it would be a profitable
investment for the laboring class to
support paper which advocates the
cause of labor. Our employers do
not attain wealth thru remaining ig-
norant. If we would improve our
economic conditions, we must improve
our minds. The Bulletin each week
contains wealth of information for
the workers, as well as interesting
news of the various crafts. 1t is the
newsiest, breeziest and wittiest publi-
cation we have the pleasure of reading
Trusting that organized labor thru
out Colorado will continue to give The
Bulletin the unstinted support it so
richly deserves, we beg to remain,
Yours fraternally,
(Signed)
F. L. PFERDESTELLER, Pres,
F. C. BIRDSALL, Sec'y-Treas.

sideration of you in the matter of
daily service.
"To begin with, you sleep eight
hours day, which makes 122 days;
subtracted from 365 days, that leaves
but 243. You have eight hours of re-
creation each day, which equals 122
days and leaves but 121 days in which
you can do any work. There are fifty
two Sundays on which you do not work
here and that leaves a balance of
sixty-nine days in the year that you
could possibly work for US.
"Our place is closed on Saturday
afternoons, which gives you fifty-two
half holidays or twenty-six full days,
and leaves but forty-three working
days. We allow you one hour n day
for lunch, which in a years time
equals sixteen days and leaves but
twenty-seven days on which we de-
mand any work of you in exchange for
your very good incomes. II we give
you a two-weeks' vacation that will
leave only thirteen working days
There are twelve legal holidays on
which we close, so that would leave
but one working day, and inasmuch as
we close always on Yom Kippur you
would not do any work at all.
Dear employees, please have a
heart"

MORE INCOME TAX
STATE SHOWS IMMENSE GAIN
DURING PAST YEAR.
Revenue Collector Skinner Makes Re-
port Showing that in Spite of
Liquor Tax Loss There Is Gain.

An income tax of $4,000 was paid
by one Coloradoan during the fiscal
year ending June 80, according to Col
lector of Internal Revenue Mark Skin
ner, who completed his annual report
Monday. The highest corporation in
come tax was 1920, 900, and the aggre-
gate of corporation and individual in
come taxes in Colorado for the last
twelve months was $3,100, 0,730.14.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1916, the total individual income taxes
in Colorado amounted to 1894, ,11O.37,
or $762,327, SO less than the year end
ing June 30, 1917. The total corpora
tion income taxes for 1916 were $573,-
495.74, which means a gain of 81 ,400,-
1861 for the last twelve months,
which totals $1,974,292.41.
The grand total for 1916 was 937,-
606.11, or $2,163 ,124.03 less than for
the year ending Saturday. The total
collections made in all departments un-
der Mr.. Skinner during the fiscal year
amounted to 1924 ,979.34 as against
approximately $1,9OO,00O the year be-
fore, or gain of more than $1,600,000
This enormous gain, slightly more
than 45 per cent, was accomplished
despite the loss of revenue from liquor
taxes and other documentary stamps
which formerly had yielded thousands
of dollars.
Customs officials here do not attri-
butte all-the gain to the fact that in
come tax rates have been raised in the
last year, but say that the reports of
individuals and corporations show a
general increase in prosperity thruout
the state.
The second highest individual in
come tax paid last year was $4,000,
while fifteen individuals paid taxes
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.

KAISER BILL A HOMEsTEADER?

While engaged in planting potatoes
last week at his ranch in Bell Rock
Norman Mills heard a peculiar buzz
zing sound. He thought it might be
motorcycle but was sure no motor
cycle could negotiate the road near
his ranch fence. For several moments
he endeavored to locate the sound but
was unsuccessful. Nearer came the
sound and greater became the bewil-
derment of Mr. Mills. Looking up he
saw an elongated, dark object, moving
swiftly thru the air and the buzzing
continued to increase as the monster
flew the air Mr.. Mills does not know
what it was but is sure it was flying
machine, probably a German Zeppe-
lin looking for secret base in north
western Colorado.-Craig Empire.

New York Cloak Manufacturer Fig

Pay Envelopes Without Work.

Employees of New York cloak and

this year for a vacation of two weeks
with pay. They were informed by
their reasonably melancholy faced

GOD SPEAKING THRU THE PEOPLE
By REV. CHARLES STEELE

1t has long been acknowledged that
''the voice of the people is the voice
of God" The undiscerning may hear
in the peoples voice only great roar
of discomfort, or the mutterings of
the misguided mass. But he who has
understanding will hear the "still,
small voice." which speaks the will of
God.
The statesmen in every age. who
have accomplished the things which
have produced the greatest good for
because they kept close to the masses.
Rarely does the vision come to the
man who spends all of his time in the
seclusion of the study. His touch on
life is so slight, and his understanding
of the needs of men so inadequate,
that his outlook extends only to the
limits of his own life and his own mar
row experience. 1t is only as man
comes into contact with others that
his own life becomes larger and fuller,
and it is out of this fullness that he
is enabled to speak concerning the
greater problems of life.
No class of men have a broader eX-
perience than the common people,
no class knows quite so well what it
means to toll and to suffer and to sac
rifice None have higher aspirations
and none exhibit deeper conservation.
1t is because of this that God speaks
thru them.
Sometimes the peoples expression
of Gods will is crude. Sometimes it
comes as a shock to men who have
become accustomed to things as they
are, who, quite satisfied with present
conditions, are unwilling to be made
uncomfortable by change which may
mean readjustment in their method
of living and in their way of doing
business. But to stand in the way of
progress is futile. 1t may be that it
is necessary to oppose certain features
-man-made and man-inspired-wh
have crept into the plans which the
people present, but back of them all
and beneath them all will be found the
hand of God.
This has been proved in history. AS
