BELGIUM WOULD

Allied Debts.

Paris. Aug. S.-Ihe belgian gov
eminent has decided to take the
initiative and directly approach
Great Britain and France if the
reparations negotiations among the
allies show. 10 signs of being resum-
ed at an early date. says a Brussels
dispatch to Excelsior.
Premier Theunis and Foreign Min
lister JasDar will come TO Paris the
newspaper says. TO propose that the
reparations claims from Germany, so
far as France and Belgium are con-
cerned be confined to the material
damage suffered by those countries,
and furthermore that England can
eel the inter-allied debts, receiving
from Germany for her part the
amount OF money she owes the
United States.
( On this basis. it is said. the Bel
gians will suggest that inter-allied
pourparlers be started to settle the
guarantees TO be required from Ger
many.

State Assessment for Year.

Special difficulties will confront
the annual assessment, as well as in
the collection of annual agricultural
statistics showing acreage of various
crops under cultivation. The difficult
ties in assessment work will be some
what similar to those of the past two
years, touching valuation of all ass
essable property and particularly of
farm property. Since agricultural in
comes have fallen off sharply in the
past two years it is natural that tax
paying farmers are seeking decreases
ty, to the end that their taxes may be
decreased.
In the matter of agricultural sta
tistics, which are collected by county
assessors for the State immigration
Department under a law enacted in
1919, the difficulty will arise chiefly
from the uncertainty on the part of
farmers at the time assessment be-
gins as to what crops they will grow.
In the principal winter wheat area
much of the land planted to winter
wheat last fall apparently will be
available for other crops this summer
on account of the failure of the wheat
to come through the winter in such
condition as to justify leaving it for
harvest. This is due chiefly to the
dry weather that prevailed at plant
ing time last year and to lack of snow
fall on the plains during the winter.
In many cases farmers will be unable

Would Prevent Tax Dodging.

The continued issuance OF taX-eX-
empt securities must be stopped or
the Federal government must find
some substitute for its surtaxes on
incomes, says Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon.
The issue, the Secretary said, is
Immediate and serious" Its persist
ence, he added, is "distorting our
whole economic structure and hamper
ing the development of business and
industry throughout the country.
at must be clear that graduated
additional income taxes cannot be eff
fective when there exists side by side
with them practically unlimited guam
titles of fully tax exempt securities
available to defeat them, and that
either some way must be found to
stop the continued issuance of tax ex-
empt securities OF the Federal gov
ernment must find some substitute
for its surtaxes. The issue is immedi-
ate and serious"
The Secretary declares there is not
a difference of l per cent in any sub
stantial volume of taxed or tax ex-
empt securities. No argument is val

to determine by April /, when the as
sessment begins, whether they will
permit their winter wheat to stand or
will pIow it up and utilize the land
for corn or other crops. Present indi-
cations are that the acreage Of winter
wheat for harvest this year will be
much smaller than that for last year,
while there evidently will be a cores
pOnding increase in acreage of spring
wheat, corn, sorghums, barley and
other crops which might take the place
Of winter wheat.
The immigration Department has
mailed to county assessors the blanks
for collecting agricultural statistics
for this year, and is making every eff
fort, with the cooperation Of the asses
ors, to obtain a complete report Of
crop acreages for the year, to the end
that farmers may know as early as
possible what the acreage of crops in
the state is and that the railroads and
other transportation companies may
know rs early as possible what agri-
cultural products they will be expect
ed to move from the various districts
Every effort will be made this year to
aVoid the transportation difficulties
which worked hardships upon farmers
and stockmen throughout the state in

Encouragement of Industries.

1t would be hard to imagine one of
oar great western states without in
dustries or to imagine what the peo-
pie would do to encourage the estab-
lishment of them.
This thought does not seem always
to enter the mind of the modern pol
itician in our legislatures when he is
i'Nenting new forms of taxation or
regulation of these same existing in
dustries.
What would be the prosperity of
or western states if it we're made
less difficult to invest money in pay
roll enterprises or less difficult to car
ry them on after they are established {?
Take the great western basic wage
employing industries like numbering,
mining and smelling, and oil produc-
ton, with what do state and federal
lawmakers not undertake to hamper
them?
Why not reverse the attitude and al
low the industries to flourish with as
few obstacles and impediments thrown
in their way as possible?

NEW CITY LIGHTS
First Sample of New System Pleases
Residents of Easts Part of
Town.

On Tuesday evening the residents or
several of the eastern streets of our
city were given a sample Of the new
street lights and all were pleased to
see the great improvement over what
we have endured for twenty years or
more. The lights now are placed at
each street intersection and are of
much higher power than the old ones
making a great difference in the light
ing effect on the streets. The resi-
dence section will when completed
have twice as many lights and much
better ones than heretofore, and there
will also be number of new lights
placed in the library grounds and 9th
er public places. The plans for the
business section of the city cannot be
carried out until the paving is com
pleted.

CONSOLIDATION BILL TO PASS
Bill to Reduce State Expenses viii Be
Passed by State Legislature
Soon.

Denver, MdrcH O.-lHe LaNhDtft
consolidation bill, which wipes out
more than a score of boards and bu
reaus and strengthens the authority
of the elected state officers, is now in
the hands of the rules committee of
the house and will be brought on the
floor this week. The measure was
sent to the rules committee from the
judiciary committee, after more than
months consideration.
The measure as it now stands has
the approval Of the judiciary commit
tee and of a joint committee of SEN
atOrs and representatives who have
been working on every provision. Be
fore being put in final form, the joint
committee obtained the advice of eN-
perts on political economy from all
parts of the state. AS now drawn, the
measure is believed calculated to meet
all the immediate needs of the state
government; to eliminate all duplica-
ticn Of work at the statehouse; and
10 save the taxpayers of the state
many thousands of dollars each year
At the same time that the Lambert
bill was sent to the rides committee,
the judiciary committee also sent over
the Sweet measure, the so-called ad-
ministrative code bill. In a spirit of
fairness, the Republican majority in
the committees will consent to have
this bill placed on the calendar FOR
consideration in the house on the same
day that the Lambert bill is brought
up. Opposition to the Sweet bill, how
ever, has developed among members
Of the governors own political party,
and it is believed that the Sweet meas
ure would have no chance to pass.
Chief objection to the Sweet bill is
based on the failure Of similar meas
ures in Illinois and Nebraska. In
these two states operation of an ad-
ministrative code has resulted in addi-
tional expense, in duplication of work,
and in multiplication of boards and
bureaus.
THE Sweet bill is an attempt to
impose an autocratic, one-man gov
eminent on Colorado" leading mem
Der of the state senate said in voicing
the views of those who have been con-
sidering both the Sweet and Lambert
measures. at is fundamentally an
tagonistic to the constitution, which
places authority in the hands of the
treasurer, the auditor, the secretary
of state and other constitutional Of
ficers elected directly by the people"
When the Lambert bill is out of the
way-and its rapid enactment by both
houses is expected-the legislature
will turn to the long appropriation
bill. The Lambert bill will be brought
up first, because its operation would
result in greatly decreased appropria-
tions for certain branches of the gov
eminent.
Members now believe that the legis-
lature will be able to adjourn early in
April, after having accomplished what
has long been the aim of the Repub
lican party-the elimination of boards
and bureaus, and the reduction of tax
alton.
