Value of Utilities Drops s1s1, 700.

Denver.-Colorado public utilities,
telephone and telegraph companies,
railroads and private street car lines
will pay taxes on $191, ,790 less than in
1920. This fact is revealed in the an
nual assessment roll made public by
the State Tax Commission here.
The 1920 valuation fixed by the
commission totalled 1927. .454, 100, while
the 1921 valuation is 1921, ,262, 400. The
decrease is occasioned by the low
earnings of the railroads and various
public utilities.
Low earning capacity of the Mis-
souri, Pacific resulted in decrease of
$230OO0 in its assessment, while ap-
proximately 100000 was taken off the
Rio Grande Southern. The valuation
of the Denver & Rio Grande, which is
the largest in the state, was left at
$41 1888, 800. The second largest as
sessment is against the Colorado &
Southern. which was left unchanged
at 3,9S1 ,720. No changes were made
in the Santa Fe, Burlington or Union
Pacific railroads.
Among the railroads 100000 was
Topped off the Rock Island. The reason
for this was said to be the fact that
certain property was assessed last
year upon which the railroad was not
compelled to pay taxes.
An increase, of $4,000 was made in
the assessment of the American Rail-
way Express Company and private car
lines were increased $4,000. The
Pullman Company will pay taxes on
$1,1O1,0OO, the same as in 1920.
A 100000 ascsessment was made in
the assessment Of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
while the Western Union Telegraph
Company'h holdings in the state are
valued at $4,000, 13O, an increase1 of
about $4,000.
The holdings of the Denver Tram
way Company have decreased a total
of $4O6,94O since 1920 while the r-op-
erty value of the Denver Gas and
Electric Light Company has Increased
since the last valuation exactly $1,1S3,-
$50. A decrease also was made in the
valuation Of the Colorado Power Com
pany. The 1921 valuation is placed at
$5,e02, 400, compared with $5,963, $50 in
1920.

habitants of Westmoreland county, held
at Hanna's Town, on May 16, 1875, for
taking into consideration the very
stoned by the dispute with Great Brit
ain. resolved unanimously, that the
parliament of Great Britain by sew
eral late acts has declared the inhabit-
ants of Massa achusetts Bay to be in re-
bellion; and the ministry, by endeav-
oring to enforce said acts, has at
tempted to reduce the said inhabitants
to more wretched state of slavery
than ever before existed In any coun-
try; not content with thus violating
their constitutional and chartered priv
ileges, they would strip them of their
rights of humanity, exposing their
lives to the wanton and unpunishable
sport of n licentious sOldiery and de-
priving them of the very means of SUBJ
sistence.
"Resolved, unanimously, That there
is no reason TO doubt but the same

And, finally, there is the famous So
called "Mecklenburg Declaration Of In
dependence" adopted at Charlotte,
Mecklenburs county, North Carolina,
May 20, 1775, Of which the first three
resolutions are as follows:
"Resolved, That whosoever directly
or Indirectly, abetted, or in any way,
form or manner, countenanced the un-
chartered and dangerous invasion of
our rights, as claimed by Great Brit
ain, IS an enemy u tiiiS Couuuy, "
America and to the inherent and In
alienable rights Of man.
"Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Mecklenburg county. do hereby dis
solve the political bonds which have
connected US to the mother country.
and hereby absolve ourselves from all
allegiance to the British crown, and
abjure all political connection. contact
or association with that nation, who
has wantonly trampled on our rights
and inhumanly shed the blood of Amer
lean patriots at Lexington.
"Resolved, That we do hereby de-
clare ourselves free and independ-
ent people, and of right ought to be
a sovereign and self-governing asso-
citation, under the control Of no power
other than that Of our God and the
general government Of the congress;
TO the maintenance of which independ-

The Mecklenburg convention was
called for May 10. Its original pur-
pose was to pronounce the annulment
of all laws and commissions In conse-
quence of the kings address of Feb
ruary declaring the colonies In a state
of rebellion and to make provision
for temporary form of government
until Instructions from the provincial
congress regulating the Jurisprudence
of the province shall provide other
wise, or the legislative body of Great
Britain resigns its unjust and arbi-
trary pretensions with respect to
America" In this expectation an
elaborate set of resolutions had been
prepared
Discussion OF these resolutions was
interrupted by the arrival of cour-
Ter with the news of Lexington. The
convention reassembled in a fury Of
patriotism. 1t seethed and debated
until well into the morning Of May 20,
when the quoted paragraphs were
adopted as a preliminary to the regu-
lar business Of the convention. 1t
must be admitted that the Mecklen-
| burgers did good job. They organ
lied provisional central government.
They sequestered all public and coun-
ty taxes and all quit rents to the crown
and declared traitors all persons who
should accept new commissions from
the crown or exercise old commissions.
And they formed nine military COM
panies for action-when the time
should come.
Curiously enough, this Mecklenburg
Declaration did not become generally
known till 1919, forty-four years later.
and then through publication in the
Raleigh Register. Its publication
caused an enormous stir, and began a
controversy that may be said to be
vet going on, inasmuch as some his
torians still refuse to accept the genu-
ineness of the document. In 1919 JEFF
ferson and John Adams were both old
and testy. Adams said. In SO many
words, that Jefferson evidently had
plagiarized. Jefferson angrily retort.
ed that In his belief the document was
spurious.
The controversy over the genuine
ness of the Mecklenburg Declaration
Immediately became fast and furious.
North Carolina finally took hand In
1t, and in 1881 Its legislature ap-
pointed committee of investigation.
This committee reported that the doc
ument was genuine. Accordingly. May
Goth was made state holiday, which
is celebrated as the Anniversary of
the Signing of the Mecklenburg Dec.
laration." In 1893 in Charlotte, was

built up. until now 1t is generally ac-
