NEW REGISTER HARD AT WORK

Walter Spencer, the newly appointed
register at the federal land office AT
this place, is now in the harness and
is working hard to get as much in
formation and assistance as possible
from his predecessor, D. c. Weyand
before the latter retires from the office
entirely and goes to his ranch near
Craig.
Mr.. Spencer is an old newspeper
man, although for the past few years
he has been engaged in farming q short
distance from Craig. He is an ardent
Republican, and much of the succese
with tho party has achieved in hi.
county has been due to his loyal ef
forts in that behalf. His newspaper
experience gives him broad vision o.
the worth while things of life, and The
Post runs no risk in asuurine our p>o
pie that Walter Spencer will make
good in his official position, but that
he will likewise prove . valuabIe ID.

The Historical soeissy i.
years are based upon the pupu.a..on
announced BY the census bureau for
January l, 1890. This makes the ~.
parent increase in per capita taxes
slightly higher than the real increase,
Tor the reason that the population in
1919 was undoubtedly below that Of
1920, so that the real per capita sx.
penditures for 1919 were slightly high.
or than those hero given.
All Agricultural counties show con.
siderable increases in per capita taxes
and some of them show very high in
creases. Only ten counties in the state
show decreases, all Of these except one
-Grand-are mining counties. Most
Of the important mining counties show
slight decreases in per capita tax
levies or else show very light increases.
As general thing per capita taxes
have in the past been higher in the
mining counties than in the agricultur-
tural counties, due in many cases to
very high municipal levies and to high
levies in few cases to pay off county
bonds. Average per capita tax asssss-
ments for 1920 range from 925.17 in
Baca county to more than $50 in Sum
NIT county. Average levies vary from
l4.08 mills in Jackson county to SO
mills in Teller county. Only three
counties show decreases in school levies
for the year and these decreases are
very small

In Collision Of Mail Truck
With Engine Man Saved
As by Miric|e
LOCAL Man PASSENGER

Grand Junction, March 2.-Yesterday
afternoon about l o'clock when tie
Gateway auto stage carrying U. g.
mail, passengers and freight, was co0-
ing into Whitewater it collided with Q
light engine on the Rio Grand running
to Grand Juction from Delta just after
the truck had passed across the Gua,
nison river bridge short distance
south Of Whitewater. There were four
men on the truck, Louis Hitchborn
driver; W. NJ. Graham, Of Gateway;
1. J. Wines, of Grand Junction, weu
known stockman, and Bert Peyatt, of
Glenwood Springs. The miracle is that
all of the men were not killed and
especially is it miraculous that Ora
ham was not fatally injured. When
the engine struck the truck he was
thrown through the side curtains and
landed on the engine pilot in an un-
conscious state and was carried down
the track near to the Whitewater sta.
tion before the locomotive was stopped
The other men were cut and bruised
about the body and face. Peyatt was
injured in the back. but reports from
the hospital last night were to the ef.
feet that he was not seriously injured
Graham is also in the hospital, but the
other two men wore taken to theif
homes in this city with only slight
injuries.
The engine was in charge Of Engi.
neer G. I. Meyer and Fireman 8. T
Billings. The former stated to the
News last night that they were run.
ming light from Delta and when com.
ing into Whitewater he whistled az
usual for the station and the
also gave four blasts for the road
crossing. The fireman hsd just fin.
ished putting in coal and was not yet
back in the cab when he said he saw
some dust fly up as he came to the
road crissing and felt slight jar tc
the engine. He heard the fireman in
the gangway say somtthing, but could
not distinguish what it was. He thought
he had broken down, ~ he was par.
italy broken down on the way coming
and was what caused the jar. He
slowed down and stopped at tho sta.
tion and there he discovered that the
man was lying prone ON the
pilot. He backed up to the accident
where he found the truck lying at the
side Of the road turned over on its side
and in q pretty badly wrecked etats
The other men by this time had extri.
Gated themselves from the rreckage.
No blame DO attached to anyone for
the Incident, as the engineer could not
see the truck approaching, as it wa.
on the off side, and the men in the
truck could not see the engine, 30 il

Federal Laws Transcend State
Statutes Declares High
Court
DECISION UNANIMOUS

Washington, Feb. 27.-The constitu.
tionality Of the woman's suffrage, OF
nineteenth amendment, was sustained
today by the supreme court in a unan.
imous decision rendered by Justice
Brandeis.
The challenge came from the STATE
of Maryland, where Oscar Lesser and
others sought to prevent the reeistra.
tion Of two women rs qualified voters
in Baltimore. Lesser and his associates
eontended that the constitution of
Maryland limited suffrage to mon,
that the Legislature of Maryland had
refused to ratify the woman's suf-
frage amendment and that the amend
ment had not become q part of the fed
eral constitution. The Maryland state
courts sustained the amendment.
The. contention that an amendment
to the federal constitution relating to
additions to the electorate cannot be
made without the consent of the state,
the court disposed of by reference to
the fifteenth or equal suffrage amend
mont, declaring that lone cannot be
valid and the other invalid" It
pointed out that the validity of the
fifteenth amendment had been recoo-
nizod for half century.
The suggestion that several of the
thirty-six states which ratified the
nineteenth amendment had provisions
in their state constitutions which pro
hibited the legislature from ratifyinR,
could not be entertained, the court
stated, because the state legislatures
derived their power in such matters
from the federal constitution which
"transcends any limitations sought to
be imposed by the people of a state. -
Tbs rsmaining objection that the
ratfying resolutions of Tennessee and
West Virginia were imperative, be-
cause adopted in violation of lesisla-
tive procedure in this states, may have
DooA AVAA0AON AAAAAAtCx tA6 CVukJ
declared, by the subsequent ratifica-
ton Of the amendment by Connecticut
and Vermont. The contention was dis
posed, however, on broader ground.
tho court stated, adding that the Sec
retary OF state, having issued procla-
nation of the ratification of the
amendment by the Legislatures Of thir-
ty-six states, the amendment to all in
tents and purposes had become q part
Of the constitution.
As Tennessee and West Virginia had
power to ratify and had officially
notified the secretary Of state that
they had done 20, their action would
be binding upon the secretary, and
apon being certified by that official,
had become conclusive upon the courts.
