Federal Control Of State Railroads

In decision rendered Monday by the United
States supreme court which is said to be the most i'm
porant decision of two decades, it is held that the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and not the local state
railroad commission has the authority to fix ntrasatc
railroad rates In other words the state government is
without power to fix railroad rates state railroads.
The far-reaching effect of this decision may be
when it is remembered that electric roads, motor trucks
and telephone and the telegraph and telephone
lines have a close connection with the state railro - and
might easily be held to be integral part of the
poration system of the nation.
From this decision the way is open for the assump
ton of by the federal government of the
of all public utility corporations, local, .ntrastate,
terstate and national along lines similar to those that
the federal undertook TO occupy in time of
war.
Colorado people have not forgotten how some
tiona commissions visited Denver the of the
and after investigation recommended that the
street company in that city should charge eight
cents for fare and when the company finally put
into the hands of federal receiver the recommendation
adopted and the eght-cent fare is charged.
This supreme court decision is another indication
Of the rapidly growing power of the federal government
and the lessening power of the states. In each part
cular the argument is made that the welfare of
the people will be served by the change but all these
changes contrary to the general principle that
little power possible should be given to the federal
government and much power possible should be
reserved to the states.
If the present tendency continues thru term Of
years the states will become little than the pro-
vnces of great nation and the old idea of union Of
sovereign states will be wholly abandoned
1t is possible perhaps that conditions have changed
10 such extent that such transformation of the
relations between the state and the federal
desirable, but it is great change and it should not
be made hastily and without due consideration.
1t is unfortunate in this connection, that the Dc.
mocratic party which for many years the salwart
defender of states rights, going to extreme
in that matter, should appear to have wholly
abandoned its historic ground. In fact it under
the administration of Democratic president during
the world war that the greatest progress toward central
lied government made.
The obliteration of states rights should not be
permitted 10 become effective without protest. The
present tendency is likely provoke strong reaction

Direct State Taxes in Colorado
(Contributed)

The amount of direct taxes paid per capita in Colo
RADIO is increasing steadily and rather rapidly accord
ing to figures compiled by the State immigration depart
mcnt from the records of the State Tax Commission
These figures show that the total of state county NUM-
cipal and school assessed in the state in 1920
amounted TO Sal 95 per CAPITA compared with 1884 per
capita in 1919. Figures for 1921 not yet available
but such advance information is available indicate
that there further increase in levies and in pei
capita payments.
The increase shown in 1920 the previous year
due chiefly increases in the school levics and
in the general county leves. The state levy for 1920
was the same for 19l9-5.47 mills The total aver
age levy for 1920, including state county, municipal
and school lcves, "a "a mills according the cac
lations of the commission compared with 222 mills
in 1919, average increase of about 25 mills
The per capita expenditures for both years are
based upon the population announced by the bur-
eau for January !, 1920 This makes the apparent in
crease in per capita taxes slightly higher than the real
increase, for the that the population in 1919
undoubtedly slightly below that of 1920 that the
per capita tax expenditures for 1919 slightly
higher than those here given.
All agricultural counties show considerable increases
u per capita taxes and some of them show very high
Only counties the state show decreases
all of these except one-Grand-are mining counties.
Most of the important mining counties show slight de-
in per capita tax levies else show very light
increases. As general thing per capita taxes have in
the past been higher in the mining counties than in the
agricultural counties, due in many TO very high
municipal levies and high lcvcs in few to pay
off county bonds. Average per capita tax assessments
1920 range from s257 in Baca county to than
$50 in Summit county. Average eves vary from 14.0S
mills in Jackson county TO IS mills in Teller county.
Only three counties show decreases in school cvcs for
the year and these decreases very small.

AReasonable Position

The Chieftan is informed reliably and would be
clad to believe that effort will be made in the coming
special session of the legislature to obtain approval of
bond issue for the Moffa tunnel to get anything else
than permissve tunnel district act similar to the flood
protection act proposed for Pueblo.
The position of the Pueblo people in this connection
is made clear in a statement issued for general circula
ton by the Commerce Club of this city.
Pueblo asks for nothing more than to protect her
own property interests at her own cost, and is willing
to extend the privilege to any other part of the
state that desires the thing.
There should be objection to such reasonable dc
mand and when the facts known it is not likely that
there will be opposition.

of governmental aid to their merchant ships.
At the beginning Of the world there was almost
American shipping engaged in the ocean carrying
trade but under conditions great numbers OF ships
were built in American yards Now it is question
whether any Of those ships shall remain in service
1t may be argued that the United States as nation
better afford permit other nations to do the ocean
transportation than it pay ship subsidies That IS
reasonable argument. But it is wholly unreasonable
to assert that American ships will continue to
operate without subsidy The subsidy must be paid or
the American flag will vanish from the seas, as 1T dld
in the years between 1860 and 1914.
