Will the Booster
Come Through?

The Marble Booster Of last week
says
1T is to be presumed that the News
Champion. with its recent purchase Of
a costly lntertype composing machine,
is not one Of those playing in hard
luck "
Is the purchase Of composing ma.
chine only restricted to papers that
occasionIy furnish job Of letter heads
for the county? We will gladly ex.
change our contract for the machine.
and the $40 already paid on it, for the
super-six which the Booster has made
off profits of the Colorado Yule bust
ness at Marble.
The Booster editor should be asham.

TRAVEL PREDICl ed
GREATER THAN IN 1916

Every indication points to the larg-
est tourist travel for Colorado and the
intermountain region for the 1917 sea
son in the history Of the West Secre-
tary of the Interior Franklin X. Lane,
under whose jurisdiction are the ma
tional parks of the country, in a state
ment denying reports that the federal
Fairgrounds are to be closed on ac-
count of the war, says that the en-.
trance of the United States into the
war will have no effect upon the west
ern tourist travel. He predicts that
the travel to the mountainous regions
of the West will exceed the previous
two years when 4OO,O tourists en-
joyed the charms of the western seen
ic attractions. The declaration is
made that it is of paramount i'm
portance that the health of the nation
be conserved and that there is no bet
ter place than the mountainous re-
sorts to build up human tissue and hu-
man energy. Secretary Lane calls
attention to the fact that the condi-
tions for automobiling in the national
parks were never better, that i'm
proved hotel and transportation ia
cihties have been provided, and that
many new facilities for the comfort
and enjoyment of visitors have been
provided.

Little daunted by the weather, the
Uncompahgre Camp Fire girls held
their picnic and ceremonial meeting
Monday night. 1t had to be an in
door picnic, nevertheless, the VEIN
ers. buns, coffee and fudge We're great.
The sewing room was the camping
ground, and by the light of numerous
candles they ate supper and later had
their ceremonial. As an expression OF
their love for Miss Anderson, the
girls presented her with a beautiful
bowl. BTanch Wiley and Reva Miller
expressed their desire to become men,
bers and took the oath of the fire, and
Effie Coolidge and Sarah Soden re-
ceived their wood gatherer's rings.
Initiation was the next procedure and
was carried out in the most up-to-
date manner. After little dancing
the girls adjourned, pronouncing this
one Of the best meetings Of the year.

Soaking the
Newspapers

The mail of the News Champion is
flooded with requests for space by
government bureaus. There is an
address to the bee raisers, nd the bean
raisers and the meat producers and
the housewives, ETC., etc, etc. 1t
seems to be considered patriotic
duty for the newspapers to spend SIS
to $50 an issue setting up this reading
matter and to furnish the space for
its publicity. That is all right, but on
top of it the bunch of hair-trigger
congressman at Washington propose
to double the postal rate on news
papers and put a tax of five per cent
on advertising receipts. II there ever
was a tax on industry, on the motive
force which keeps business going and
furnishes the revenue of the govern
ment, it is the proposed tax on adver-
tising. We may "muddle through
with this muddle Drained congress.
bu. il makes a man of intelligence
feel like throwing things to listen to
their chatter. No newspaper man OBJ
jects to paying the same sort Of tax
that other people pay, but there is
absolutely no reason for tax on ad-
vertisinx, Sand only a congressman
who was a candidate for the bug
house or who had lurking grudge
against some newspaper that had ex-
posed him would favor il.

Mr.. CRUMP GIVEN
SOME INFORMATION
Continued from First Page)

the other hand, II the statements
made by the officers of the COMPANY )
and the reorganization committee are
correct, Mr. Cump j. either misin-
formed or very pessImistic in his
views of the future for the Marble
company But it i known that the
Colorado Yuie Marble Company is no,
I company, the activities Of which re-
semble those Of q fake mining scheme.
And, furthermore. It IS reasonable TO
believe that, after it, recent troubles.
its officers would be rather cOnserva-
tive in making statements for a re
organization plan
Therefore, its figures Of something
like S4,22I,l75, as estimated capital
ization and bonded Indebtedness, are
very likely TO represent the actual
physical valuation of the holdings of
that company.
Mr.. Crump, in his recent eommuni-
cation. cites particular instances Of
over valuation Of the Colorado Yule
Marble Company property. He re-
fcrs to the fact that three and one
half miles Of electric road and equip
mcnt. used solely for transportation
Of material to and from the quarry,
has been assessed at $4,000 per mile,
or 100000 gross.
Then he makes certain comparisons
TO show that this Is inoquitable, COM
pairing this assessment to the asses
zmcnt OF similar property Of the Dem
yer & Rio Grandc Railroad Company.
In connection with this statement by
Mr.. Cump. it is interesting to note
that this entire electric line and
equipment was first assessed at S20,-
600, in 1915. and that after this asses
sment was returned. the Colorado Tax
Commission ordered a raise in the
valuation Of the company's property
OF 5000 The tax schedule car
rying this particular electric line and
equipment was then Immediately in
creased from $4,000 to 100000.
The explanation for this enormous
raise on this electric line is the same
as that which accounts for the raise
on other Colorado Yulc Marble Com
pany's property situated outside of
the Town of Marble for the purpose
evidently Of avoiding the Marble
Town tax. When We consider this
fact. Mr.. Crump's comparison on this
electric line has no weight whatever.
When the County Assessor was or
dercd by the Colorado Tax Commits
sion to make the blanket" raise of
$500, 900 on the valuations of the COM
pany's property, it was presumed that
the assessor would put this addition
al valuation proportionately on all of
the holdings of the company, and it
was not supposed that it would all be
placed on property principally out
side of the Town of Marble, thus
Town Tax.
The people here are proud Of the
Marble industry in this county, but
they also would like to see justice for
all taxpayers.

Really, the editor of the News
Champion knew who was county
physician and last weeks headline
naming Doctor Walker instead of DR..
Hanson as being one of the three
county officers in charge of the regis
tration should never have gotten by
the proof reader. AS DIR. Hanson is
going to do the work for Uncle Sam

missioners in not allowing the Colo
rado-Yule Marble Co.. reduction Of
$4,000 in taxes, local paper has
never dared say whether it thought
the action was just or whether i'm
proper. We are guessing the chances
are ten to one it never will dare, and
if it makes any comment on this ar
