Lawrence C. Phipps, Republican
candidate for United States senator,
is a tax dodger. The records in. tho
offic" OF tie treasurer of the city ani
county of Denver show that he swore
that $175,00O was all he owned in the
way Of moneys, notes and credits
when he made his assessment return
Yet Phiops is known to be worth at
least 100000 eco, r,ade in stock Of the
steel trust, the greatest prcf!teer of

1t is tax dodging of the sort prac-
ticed by Phipps which sends up taxes
for the small home owner in Colorado
State, county, city and schoo! taxin,
bodies could reduce the tax levies
enormously II men like Phipps would
ray their just share OF the taxes
Every taxpayer in the state should
take a good lcok at his tax bill on the

PLAZA

Limousine Life" a delightful Tri-
angle play with pretty Olive Thomas
in the star role, is the Plazas main
movie" attraction for today.
The vaudeville program is composed
of "Sally's Visit" a new idea in mu-
steal comedy with nine people. mostly
girls; Detzel and Corral in The Doc
tors Office" a screaming farce; Mar
tin and Boggs in a classy dance re-
vue; and Jermon and Mack in sing
ing and juggling diversion.
Tomorrow will bring Norma Tai
madge, one of the greatest screen i'm
pressarios of the day, in her latest ac-
complishment, Ghosts of Yesterday
Ghosts of Yesterday is adapted
from Two Women" the dramtic hit
by Rupert Hughes, that prolific writer
who has had a remarkably long list
of successful plays and novels. Miss
Talmadge's interpretation of the lead
ing role in the film adaptation is the
most pretentious characterization she
has created, and establishes ever
more firmly her position as a great
emotional actress.
On the same bin viii be Everest
Comedy Circus" the most expensive
and elaborate animal offering il
vaudeville; Violet and Edith Walsh
in a dainty fantasy of song and piano
logue; Gates and, Ffnlay in songs ant
dances a la carte, and Delano ant
