One OF the strangest love stories

other story which was. given columns
Of newspaper space. years ago.
The people Of little Western town
were shocked and surprised when one
of their most influential girls ran of
and married a former fiance just be-
fore the day Of her marriage. The
elopement created a scandal which
lasted for weeks. The girls family
was prominent, the man to whom
she had been engaged for so long was
one of the finest young men in the

and of good social and business
standing. He was completely crushed
by the loss. He sold the house he
had just built. and resigned his posi-
ton. Friends said that in two weeks
he seemed to have aged years.
Then he received a letter from his
former sweetheart in which she; said
she had admired and respected him
always, and begged his forgiveness
for what she had one. but said she
had never loved any one but the man
she married.
Blair said afterward that he never

Expensive to Taxpayers.

The bipartisan bureaucracy Of Colo
rado has in its employ 3S1 individuals,
with a total payroll of s51 1888 a
month, 1921, ,4O6.56 year.
This is exclusive of all members of
commissions who are not under civil
service; of I'll elective officers and
their employees; of penal institutions,
reformatories, the military depart
ment, educational institutions and GER
tain state offices not strictly bureau
cratic, such as the travelling library
commission and the director of veneral
diseases.
1t also does not take into account
the travelling expenses of commission
ers, or the cost of printing, postage,
stationery, supplies, and other incl
dentals of departments. The legisla-
ture of 1921 appropriated s92,50O for
the incidental expenses of officers and
departments, most of which was for
the use of appointive officials.
The fact that the existence of these
boards End bureaus brought about the
construction of a s1,50O,000 office
building also is not taken into consid-
Grafton in the expense. The sum of
1921 ,4O6.56 year goes for salaries of
employees alone.
In many cases members of commits
sions who are paid $4,000 or $4,000 a
year have business interests which re-
quire almost all their time, and look
upon their state appointments as re-
ward for political services, which puts
them under little or no obligation to
the taxpayers.

COLORADO'S LEADING INDUSTRY
Farmers of State Pay Almost Half of
State Taxes.-This Seems Too
High a Proportion.

Land ir Colorado, including city and
town lots, pay about AZ per cent of
the general property tax assessed in
the state, though only 46.54 per cent
of the land in the state is on the tax
rolls, according to compilations made
by the State immigration Department
for the Colorado Year Book. Agricul-
tural land pays nearly 80 per cent of
this tax.
Farm property pays a larger per-
centage of the general property taxes
of the state than any other single
class of property. Approximately 40
per cent of all general taxes assessed
for 1921 are paid by classes of farm
property that are easily segregated
from otLer property assessed. This
includes farm land, livestock, poultry
and bees, equities in state land, i'm
provements on farm lands and agri-
cultural implements. Items like car
riages and other horse drawn vehicles,
automobiles, furniture, musical instru-
ments, jewelry, clocks and watches and
few others, which can not be easily
segregated are not included in the list.
but it is apparent that farm property
pays about as per cent Of all general
property taxes.
Land and Improvements on land,
mainly buildings, pay more than 60
per cent Of all general taxes levied
for 1921. This does not include rail-
road rights OF way. which are assess
ed together with other railroad prop
erty. improvements on city and town
lots alone pay little more than IA per
cent.
Some students Of taxation insist that
the figures here given prove real es-
tate is paying too large a proportion
of general taxes in Colorado. How
ever that may be, there can be no
question as to the fact that agricul-
ture is paying a much larger percent
age of taxes than any other single in
dustry. This is further proof that ag-
riculture is Colorado's largest indus
try. measured by the amount Of money
invested. The relative importance of
agriculture is increasing steadily each
year, with indications that in a few
years 1t will show larger investment.
as measured by property assessed,
than all other industries combined.
The assessed value of farm land in
the state for 1921 is S47O, sos, ,S76, COM
pared with s46O,438 ,97s for 1920. 1t
will be noted that while the total value
of property assessed in the state for
1921 was approximately s12,OoO,OOO
less than that for 1920 the value of
farm land showed an increase Of more
than s10,000,00O. This was not due to
any increase in the assessed value of
farm land per acre. but to very con-
siderable increase in the acreage of
farm land assessed.
