EVEN WITH REDUCED LEVY ALL
INSTITUTIONS WILL BE CARED
FOR THRU STRICT ECONOMY.

Denver. October 1s.-By lowering
the state tax rate for 1918 from 3.12
to 2.77 mills-a saving OF half q mil
lion dollars In the peoples taxes-the
Democratic members of the State
Board Of Equalization showed that
they are men OF their word. When
they were candidates two years ago
they promised the people to give them
an efficient and economic administra-
ton. Reduction of the tax rate proves
that they have kept their word. James
r. Noland. secretary of state; Attor
ney General Leslie e. Hubbard, both
candidates for reelection, and
Charles H. Leckenby. state auditor
and now a candidate for state treasur.
or. are the majority members of the
board. They are the men whom the
people must thank II their tax bills
are lower during the coming year.
In fixing the levy at 2.77. the mem
bers Of the board we're solely guided
by the thought of giving the various
institutions sufficient funds to meet
all their needs and render efficient
service to the people. Whenever they
saw an opportunity to cut the levy for
some specific purpose the cut was
made unhesitatingly. Economy and
efficiency were their watchwords ali
the time.
The new levy will bring 1898. .104
into the state treasury. compared with
$4.o6e.s17 for the current year.

command compelled the Legislature
to keep faith with the people and

His services to the cause OF pro-
gressive government have been recog-
nized-not alone in Colorado but
throughout the United States, and It
Is because OF his record of steadfast
adherence to principle that the lead
ers of progressive legislation in the
United States are urging his return to
the United States Senate, where his
wisdom, experience and honesty OF
purpose will be bulwarks OF strength
to the people in the perilous days of
reconstruction.

pressing my personal wish that the

Colorado owes you a great deal,
not only for what you have done here

of the state. remember WELL as DO

MILLIONS IN WAR

Really, isn't II to bad that Uncle

Then the Republican millionaire Job

has been done by Democratic hustlers.
And the other Republican candidates,
who certainly could know no more
than their leaders. could hardly be in

Colorado's minerals have been pur.
chased In huge quantities and for mil
lions Of dollars by Uncle Sam.
Colorado's surplus farm products
all of them-have been taken over by
the government at good prices. Don't
you remember how your Uncle Samuel
came along, bought up the pinto bean
crop, advertised 1t. told people how to
cook II. induced the soldiers to eat It?
And you know that right now the gov
ernment is crying for more and more
production.
Colorado's actories-every one that
could turn a wheel-have been crowd
ed with government orders, and have
been asked to give over private con-
tracts In favor of federal work.
Why. even steel and oil, the things
in which Phipps and Shoup have their
financial holdings and their hearts,
have had their run in this state so far
as Colorado could undertake such
things.

ment millions of dollars. 1t is the one
permanent camp Of the sort in the
country. and will be used long after
the war is over. 1t will bring thous-
ands Of people to Colorado, and these
people will spend their thousands.
All this means millions of dollars to
Colorado and her people. Everybody
is busy. Everybody is working who
wants work-except Phipps and
