oyr the Continental Divide. Cochetopa

and il is said il could be kept open the

a fact that road around the rim-rock
of Black Mesa could easily be kept
open any winter. Then why not all
people of the state who are interested
in cross-state travel use their influence
to have this road built?
An old-tiner here says that there is
never time that man on horseback
could not cross Black mesa by way Of

After Mr.. Links address there was
general discussion of local, state and
national questions. Many interesting
and important questions We're hrot out,
probably the most vital of which was
the problem of how to require the
owners of intangible personal proper
~. such as notes, bank deposits, mon
ey, stocks, bonds, etc, TO pay q fair
tax as compared 10 tangible property
Mr.. Link stated that this is the most
difficult question IN taxation; that
such wealth Is the very best of all
classes and all fair people agree that
II should pay just tax; that no state
has been able TO solve the question
equitabiy. II high property rates are
applied, the property either disappears
or the interest rates are increased so
that the borrower has TO pay the tax,
which Is more unjust than getting no
tax At all.
AtShe present time this class of
property Is paying practically no tax
IN Colorado, which fact is most unfair.
quite dste FIrined that the injustice be
A4AcIS, ls4c Rsc-cith
mayor OF Greeley and several attorn-
eys favor taxing all Intangible proper
~.
The Tax Commission favors, for
the present at least, exempting intang-
ible property from property tax and
covering all increase from same by a
state income tax.
Several states have disposed Of the
question temporarily by exempting
from property tax covering intangibles
by registration tax or special laws
all of which are very inadequate as
compared with property tax
New York. Massachusetts,, Wiscon-
sin and several other states have COW
cred intangibles by state income and
business taxes
Mr. Link expressed himself as high
ly pleased with the meeting and said
he wished similar conferences between
tax payers and officials might be held
in every county Of the state. He said
that in general for the past tueuty
years no county had demonstrated bet
ter public spirit than Gunnison-
