THE WHY Of CURTAnMENT

I state, county, city, school and federal
| taxes, together with all tho fees that
| arc collected from various sources. At
| that time the state taxes amounted
| to ono and one half million dollars
| the federal taxes TO about one million
dollars and the city. county and school.
and all other taxes to twelve and a
half million dollars.
Ten years later the state taxes had
jumped to approximately four million
| dollars. the federal taxes 10 approNi-
mately twenty-seven million dollars
and tho rest OF the taxes including
county. city. fees. etc. TO twenty-six
million dollars annually.
Whereas ten years ago VIC had a
population OF approximately eight
hundred and fifty thousand people and
1t was costing them seventeen dollars
and twenty-five cents per capita per
annum for ali government purposes.
today with n population of ono million,
it is costing them ffty-sevcn dollars
per capita per annum for the same
government.
In other words the government is
costing three and one half times as
much today In Colorado as IL did ten
years ago. To be sure the major por-
ton of tho increase is for the national
government, but it makes little diff
ference to the man who is paying 1t
whether he has to pay 1t to the nation
al government or to the state govern
ment. Tho total to be paid Is what he
considers,
When the farmer considers that his
land Is deprecated in value fifty per
cent; when the stockman considers
that his flock and herds have de
preciatod siNty-fve per cent and when
,the merchant considers that his stock
of goods have deprecated in value Mt
least sixty per cent it can be easily
understood why those in charge ot
state finances should reduce to the low
ost possible amount.
OF course, with the state finances
only amounting to about four million
dollars, out of the total hfty-seven
million dollars per year 1t Is impos-
sible to mako much of showing when
the total is considered; yet IL the
state Will start the good ball rolling,
possibly tho cities, the towns, the
counties and the school authorities will
keep up the good work.
If this should be done a saving 6t
five or six million dollars per year
can be accomplished. outside OF the
amount required by tho federal goy-

THE OIL SHALE INDUSTRY DURING PAST YEAR
eRpwdCm nmmAeWd Wdmdahd Local

1 Congress has given formal recogni-
| tlon to the industry. The program of
the Independent Oil Mems association
! at Denver recognized the industry and
many oil shale exhibits were installed.
At the meeting of the American Min
ing Congress in Denver the Oil Shale
convention, the working oil shale la
boratory exhibit of the Colorado
School Mines, and the comprehensive
exhibit OF the Petroleum Engineering
company of Kansas City were notable
features. A well attended popular ex-
cursion from Denver to Debeque and
trip over the oil shale deposits. In
connection with the oil convention,
was the occasion of wide publicity.
The publication of articles by tho
Wall Street Journal. the New York
Tribune, the Railroad Red Book, the
Saturday Evening Post, and the
Literary Digest have called the atten-
ton of the laymen to the subject. A
great variety of articles in the scien
tific. technical, and oil press have
reached special class of readers. To
this should be added the publications
of the U. S. G. Survey, the u. s.
Bureau of Mines and tho Colorado
School of Mines: also the first Ameri-
can book on THE Oil Shale Industry
by the present writer. All in all. this
increased interest, however, ipGot con
fined to this country: II is world wide
and especially noticeable in New

there is a ready market: and third, to

As usual, Governmental and State
research work lags behind private
enterprise. Private interests arc now
employing their own chemists and
technical men to make their investi-
cations. The U. S. Bureau of Mines is

School of Mines resources are limited
but the interest is SO keen that indi-
vidual efforts by Professors Low
Roberts. and Franks of the Chemistry
department, and Messrs. Eeeney and
Williams of the Metallurgical Re
search department, have resulted in
rcientific information and technical
publications OF permanent value to the
industry. This has been carried to
such an extent that even with its scant
financial resources the Colorado
School of Mines has attained an inter
national reputation as a center of oil

The past year is one in which no
spectacular results have been optaineu,
but a year in which substantial anu
far reaching fundamental progress
has been made. Effective legai pro-
gress has been made in securing Vaiiu
title from the Government; extensive
experimental work has been done on
retorting; chemical Investigation on
the nature, properties, ana peha'ior oi
oil shale has been carried on; the
problems of refining shale oil have
been taken up by oil renners and
chemists. and, finally. largo financial
interests, especially the oil and min
ing, have recognized that the oil shale
industry is worthy of their closest
attention.
TITLE 70 OIL SHALE LANDS
Tho massage of the oil land leasing
bill clearly and definitely established
the validity of oil shale claims initi-
ated under the placer law; 1T also
provided for the withdrawal from en-
try of all oil shale land not filed on
before the passage of tho act. BY far
the most important event in 1920, as
far as the oil industry is concerned,
was the issuance of patent to oil
shalc land by the United States Gov
ernment This esta blished a precedent
to the effect that oil shale lands filed
on under the placer law with annual
assessment done according TO law
could be carried to patent. The first
putcnt issued was to the Reed Doyle
iuteres,s. The application of tho Colo
RADIO Carbon Company is now pending.
Others may be expected to follow rap
idly. as it is unlikely that large finan-
cisl interests Will invest in the erection
of plants until they are assured of Z
good title to their land. Tho bill eE-
tending the time until July /. 1921, in
which assessment work for 1920 could
bc done, was a boon to land owners
who were over extended. it also pre-
vented the reversion OF much land TO
the Government that can now be held
by the locators. There remain. how
ever, many causes Of friction and pct
ty annoyances, like the character OF
tho assessment work that will be ac
ccptcd by the government and at tho

SENATORS QUIT GAME


New York, April 5.-Calling off of
the exhibition series between the New
York Nationals and the Washington
American league club was imminent
today, dispatches from Jackson, Tenn.
said. as a result of the Senator's action
in quitting the game there yesterday
after a dispute over Umpire Brennan's
decision.
The Washington club was called off
the field in the third inning of their
game with the Giants by Manager Nc
Bride after he protested Brennans de-
cisions and had been ordered off the
field The game was declared won
by the Giants on forfeit.
Manager McGraw, who said he had
been informed that the Washington
club would not continue the series If
Brennan remained in the game. is re-
ported to have said that he would not
consent to the arbiter's removal. He
added his club would appear in all
cities where games were scheduled
with the Washington and that if the
latter failed to appear he would file
claims with Judge Lands for dam
ages.
