Members of the state tax COM
mission, the attorney general and
district attorneys representing sew
eral of the counties interested were
in consultation a few days g at
Carson with attorneys for the
Wells-Fargo company in regard to
pending tax litigation. 1t is under

To Celebrate 81 Silver

81 shall certainly make some fit
ting recommendation for the recog-
milton of s~ilver's reaching the 81
mark" said Governor Boyle a few
DAYS ago "The immediate signi-
ficarce of 81 silver in Nevada is
that dozens of camps will be
brought in and the price is such that
they ought to be able to begin oper-
ations at once. 1t will bring in a
vast tonnage of ore of grades that
heretofore could not be worked and
out of potential prospects will make

The mines of Nevada have not

in Nevada and always will find them

spring. They knew where Grand

Where nobody asks you, "Who are

But only, Hey, there; what kin you
do?"
Where the Stag dumps glow and the
ore cars bang,
An the six-horse Transfers shout,
"G'lang!"
Where the chimneys flare with a
hundred hues;
Where you play the game with a
stack of blues;
Whoop, if you're winner and grin
if you lose;
Where the ace is fast and the
blood runs hot,
An you blow in all the cash you've
got
I'm goin' home.
I'm goin' home to my own again,
To the breezy girls an the six-foot

To the rocky hills and the sagebush

Six thousand feet above the "a,
Where the heart beats swift and the

Where you live like a live one

IN MESSAGE TO MEMBERS OF
TWENTY-FIRsT COLORADO
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
PROTECT SCHOOL LANDS
RKTiRiNo GOVERNOR DEFENDED
OPERATION AND PURPOSES OF
s1"g, INDUSTRIAL LAW.

Western Nswspapsr Union News Service
Denver.-The enactment Of laws to
safeguard the interests Of the school
children of Colorado through the
proper administration Of the state
school lands. representing a value of
$176. 100000, and to make more ef-
fective the present statutes on brtb-
cry, libel and corrupt practices, were
urged upon the Twentyfirst General
Assembly by Gov. Carlson in his out
going message, delivered Jan. be-
fore a joint session of both branches
Of the Assembly in the House cham
Der.
A vigorous prosecution of the cam
paign for equitable freight rates and
transportation rates for Colorado,
started by the Colorado Fair Freight
Rates Association and now being
pushed by the association in co-opera-
ton with the State Public Utilities
Commission. was urged by Gov. Carl
son at the outset of his message. An
appropriation of $25,o00, he said,
should be made for use by the State
Public Utilities Commission in prose-
cutting the suit to a successful con-
clusion.
Among his recommendations was
suggestion that the General Assembly
appoint q committee to conduct an ex-
haustive inquiry into state printing
costs.
The defense of Colorado waters, ini-
tiative and referendum, proposed
changes Of laws governing the financ-
ing of irrigation districts, the state
tax commission, care of the insane, a
state budget, the work of the state
survey committee, federal aid for good
roads, workmen's compensation law,
state Industrial commission, and pro-
hibition enforcement, were among the
subjects discussed in the governors
message.
He strongly defended the operation
Of the state industrial law and the
purposes for which it was enacted and
declared himself unalterably opposed
to . repeal of the law or the restrict
ing of any of the powers now vested
in the state Industrial commission.
A pure seed law, such as is to be
asked by the farmers grange organic
ations of the state. and an adequate
appropriation to defray the cost OF
litigation involving the protection of
Colorado water rights were recon-
mended.
The Legislature also was urged to
keep all appropriations within the es-
timated state revenue for the period
for which, such appropriations are
made.
As his conclusion Gov. Carlson said
to the members Of the Senate and
House: my parting word is that you
cooperate with your incoming gov
ernor; give him your fullest conf
dence, your loyalty, support and best
efforts, and determine firmly to rem
der here even more beneficient and
far-reaching service to your state
than has been rendered by any pre-
ceding assembly,"
