The most important office in Nor

missioner. Can better men be found
for that office than NJ. ID. Harris
and Charles Beard? They are not
to be had. Both are ideally located;
are successful farmers and business
men. They would give the affairs
of the county their very best atten-
ton at all times. Men of this type
are badly needed in the commission
ers' office, at the present time. The

broken. Casting your vote for Har-
ris and Beard would be one OF the
best things you ever did.

WESTERN COLORADO GOVERNOR
AND DENVER SENATOR.

1t is claimed upon good authority
that the managers of Hon Charles w.
Waterman, Republican candidate for
United States Senator are strongly
advocating the selection of Lieutenant
Governor Rockwell at the primaries on
September 9Th. 1t is pointed out that
Western Colorado should have the gov,
ernorship and Denver the United Sta
tes senator, short term.
In this there seems to be consider
able merit The Western Slope cannot
hope to have both the senator and
governor This we are not entitled
to, according to any basis of figuring
we know Of
Voters should remember this. Sup,
porting Waterman for senator and
Rockwell for governor, the state and
the senatorship would be in safe
hands. Delta county knows Rockwell
Delta county knows where Mr.. Water
man stands-his platform is Calvin

who made returns gave up to the tax
gatherer more than s1,269,OO0, 900.
In 1922 it was reduced to 1851, ,000,0
Only about So per cent of the
entire population pays an income tax
of any sort, and the bulk of this is
from the people having incomes be
tween $4,000 and $4,000. This dem
onstrates how widely the wealth and
incomes from savings are scattered.
The very large fortunes yielding
large incomes are few and far between.
Some one asks how many of these
large incomes can escape Federal in
come taxes?
Notwithstanding the fact that the
income tax amendment to the Federal
Constitution permits the Federal gov
ernment to tax incomes from what
ever source derived" the courts have
many times ruled that the Federal
government can not tax any state,
municipal or other local subdivision,
or any incomes derived therefrom.
The words from whatever source
derived" in the income tax amend
ment to the Federal Constitution can
not be enforced, since they except in
comes derived from states, municipali-
ties, and other local subdivisions.
1t is claimed that the Federal Gov
ernment thus loses some $3.50, 900, 900
in income taxes annually, because
large fortunes are invested in tax
exempt securities. most Of which
are state and municipal bonds. Many,
however, are bonds of Federal in
strumentalities.
An effort was made in the last
Congress to have the Federal Consti-
tuition amended so as to permit Fed
eral taxation of state and municipal
bonds, OF incomes derived therefrom
Such an amendment is opposed by
states and by large cities.
At present a large proportion OF
the Federal income tax receipts comes
from people with moderate incomes
Their contribution to the Federal
income is a handsome tribute to their
thrift and devotion to their country.
Without this income tax coming from
the great middle classes, the Federal
government could not possibly raise
100000 annually and pay its
enormous bills.

THE SHORT TERM seNAToRsHIP.

THE SHORT TERM SENAToRSHIP.
Three excellent gentlemen have
been designated for the short term
senatorship in the Republican prim-
aries-Charles w Waterman and Col.
Rice w. Means, both of Denver, and
Charles ]. Moynihan of Montrose.
Whatever may be claimed for Colonel
Means as an orator, and a gallant SOL
dier in two wars, and the ability of
Mr.. Moynihan, we consider Charles w.
Waterman the most available for the
campaign, and ranks high in senatorial
qualifications.
Mr.. Waterman, Karl C. Schuyler, DR..
Hubert Work, and Clyde C. Dawson
are now the ranking leaders of the
Republican party in Colorado, and
more especially since the death OF
A. NJ. Stevenson and Frank C. Goudy.
But of these four, only Waterman is a
candidate for the senatorship. While
not Understanding the ability of
Colonel Means, or Mr.. Moynihan we
believe that Mr.. Waterman, If nomin.
ated, will make the strongest race be,

tion. 1t is not so much a matter OF
personal preference for the voters, but
who can be elected. Either Morrison
ShafrOth or ex-Congressman Ben Hill
lard will be nominated by the Demo.
Gratis for the short term Mr. Hillard
is one of the shrewdest and ablest
political leaders in Colorado and has
the seasoned experience OF congress
sional life. Morrison Shafroth has
merit. Is first-class campaigner and
made gallant record in the World
war. II matters not which of these
two the Democrats nominate, the sue
cessful one will give the Republicans
good fight. and it is not so much
whether Waterman, Means or Moyni
han may be a personal preference but
which Republican has the best chance
of an election. The Progressive and
LaFollette elements are also to be con
sidered later, which, as yet, are un
known quantities. AS Senator Phippf
has no opposition in the primaries, his
strength for the regular election will
remain problematical. II Senator

STATE TAXES
TOTTER AT TOP
They Won't Go Higher,
Board Says; Doubled
Since 1913.

MadiSOn-High taxation, according
to tax commission figures, has reached
its crest 1t has been a long and
breathless climb, but the figures in
cluded in the last two or three years
indicate that a stable level has been
attained.
The commissions figures are for all
taxing units-state, county, local
(city) and school. In each case they
comprise all taxes from every source
except automobile license fees
raised for all purposes.
Auto license revenues are omitted
because they are levied under the po-
lice power, instead of the taxing au-
thority. Their omission does not af
feet the validity of the comparisons.
They would merely increase the ag-
gregate of each year if included.
Taxation has increased everywhere,
in the state government and in the
local governments. The totals show
the tax burden has more than doubled
since 1913. Relatively the cost of the
state government has increased the
least. 1t is about a third greater.
more than twice as much and school
expenditures nave DlOIO IllclII u VOACO.
In these items is found the greater
portion of the increase.
The spending fever seems to mysti-
fly politicians as much now as when
it started Diagnosis suggests several
causes. The first, of course, is the
higher costs-mOre 60-cent dollars are
required than 100-cent dollars. The
public demands more and is getting it..
The state aid system, under which
bonuses are paid to communities that
build more roads and maintain bet
ter schools, is held to be a cause.
The local units raise money to OBJ
tain state aid either by increasing
local tax levies or by selling bonds.
The bonds sell readily because they
are tax exempt. Buyers are eager to
take all that have been issued and
they help to encourage their own and
other communities to enter into other
projects requiring more issues of non
taxable securities.
But once the bonds are issued in
terest must be paid and sinking funds
created, so taxes go up. Perhaps the
real reason why the state has not in
creased it's taxation so rapidly as the
localities is that the state is prohib
tied by the constitution from incur
ring Indebtedness, while the locali-
ties have comparatively free hand.
These figures show the trend of
taxes for a neriOd of wears:
