The Si. Joseph, Missouri, printers’
union hu passed resolutions con
doling with Alva Adams on the loss
of the offioe his brothers had stolen
for him, and hoping he would be a
better man in the future. There is
plantj of room for improvement,
boys.
President Roosevelt has been vis
iting with the people of Texas the
past week and received a rousing
weloome all along the line. As he
is the first repnblican candidate for
president that came within a hun
dred thousand votes of oarrying
Texas he naturally has a very friend
ly feeling for the people there.
The wonderful Rider Haggard
has oome and gone and judging from
his weird picture of the terrible
American octopi he didn’t stop any
longer than was necessary to draw
his British salary. Evidently he is
as yet nnable to class the octopus
either as “He” or “She” but there is
no mistaking that he considers him -
self “It”
The repnblican delegation from
Pueblo in the state legislature voted
eolidly to retained Alva Adams in the
seat be had stolen, and the republi
can voters of Pueblo rebuked their
party treachery by electing a straight
democratic city tioket, and defeating
the city repnblican ticket dictated
by the same men who had sent them
to (he legislature.
The democratic papers, whioh were
explaining to their readers a year
ago that there was no political sig
nificance attached to city elections,
are now yelling themselves hoarse
over a few minor victories scattered
over the oountry. Howl boys, all
you oan, it is all you haye had to yell
about for thirteen years, and we
don’t expect any consistency at this
time.
We publish in another oolumn a
communication on the new bowling
alley on the theory that it is right
for all to have a hearing, but we bo
lieve that it was written without full
knowledge of what bowling is. The
sport is a dean and healthy one, and
certainly no boy oan spend more mon
ey there or stay longer than his par
ents allow him. If the parents won’t
look after him, he oan find lots worse
plaoes to go even in Lamar.
An Error Corrected.
The omission ofj a comma last
week oaused the types to say that
the Mayor of Denver was in jail
along with about fifty other demo
crats, for ballot box stuffing. The
Reoord desires to be always truthful
and we hasten to make the correc
tion and will thsfore say that his
honor is not yet in jail. —Eldora
Reoord.
A Mother's Story.
I was lying there awake last Sat
urday night and the clock struck ten,
I opened my eyes and there was the
light burning and I knew my boy
wasn’t home yet, I knew he had a
dollar and thirty five cents in his
pocket and you know they have a
shooting gallery over there in the
north part of town and you know
the kind of men and boys they have
there after ten o’clock at night aud
I was so worried. Pretty soon I
heard a cheery whistle and my boy
oame m, he had not been there at
all* I think, but I wonder why there
has to be such places f Now they
are fixing up a bowling alley right
on Main street, there between the
Hotel and the Sparks office and I
wonder why the Christian people
want a bowling alley ? They say it
costs SIOOO to raise a boy; I wonder
how many mothers and fathers
would give $lO a year to save a boy ?
We oould have a nicely furnished
library and gymnasium here for the
boys if we would only TRY.
The Church Irrigation Bill.
The important measure known as
the Church irrigation bill is awaiting
the signature of the governor to be
' come a law.
It is asserted by many friends of
irrigation that it contains radical
provisions which will prove exceed
ing harmful to further great general
developement in the state if it be en
acted. Strong protests have ap
peered and Gov. McDonald has set
pext Wednesday afternoon for a
hearing.
Four years ago the assembly
adopted the irrigation distriot law,
whioh is modeled after the “Wright
Act’’ of Californis. The Republican
strongly endorsed the measure and
gave it loyal editorial support. The
prediction then made has been justi
tied by the fact that nearly a dozen
great districts have since been or
ganized under that law, and many
others are forming. About $4,000,-
000 of bonds have been voted, and
projects under way will require as
many more. About $2,000,000 of
these bonds have been negotiated.
The adoption of the Woodruff Brom
ley bill authorizing the investment
of the public school fund under cer
tain restrictions in such bonds, it is
confidently believed will make the
way clear hereafter to successfully
finance the needs of the state, aud
thereby add millions to our agricult
ural wealth.
Realizing that the piesent law
should be improved to meet condi
tions unforseen, its friends sought to
pass a new act. Unfortunately cer
tain local and individual interests in
corporated in the Church bill, chang
es which are strongly claimed to be
inimical, and should therefore in
fluence the governor’s veto.
The irrigation district law is de
signed to provide farms with a com
munity water supply as a town or
oity does its wants. The owners
may incorporate and vote bonds
which are a lien on the land bene
fitted,and with the proceeds construct
and operate their own canal system.
The losses which in the past have
come to irrigation enterprises have,
however, so discredited their seonri
ties that great difficulty has been ex
perienced in marketing the bonds.
The Woodruff Bromley measure, it
is believed, will remedy this.
But now comes the Church bill
with a provision unlike any of the
half dozen other states which have
this district law, as follows: “All
lands within the district, for the pur
poses of taxation under this act, shall
be valued by the assessor at the same
rate per aore.” Our statute now,
and all the others have, instead the
usual ad valorem assessment, “duly
equalized” valuation, except that
Idaho, Nebraska and Colorado ex
empt “all improvements.”
The Church bill by adopting the
“uniform” assessment, introduces,
therefore, a radical and wholly un
tried experiment, and raises ques
tions which inevitably will go to the
courts. For, whether a lean or
rough traot of land shall pay just as
much tax as the most fertile and
highly improved farm possessing a
productive value several hundred
per cent greater, is a proposition
sure to be challenged.
Meanwhile, the bond buyer, with
out whose co-operation and approv
al the law most prove abortive, may
well hesitate to look to each acre
separately and alike for pro rata se
curity. Certainly this innovation
practically destroys the strictly mun
icipal character of the bonds—a very
desirable and important feature re
garded in investment circles. Even
school bonds would lose their at
traotivenes; were they a lien upon
each acre uniformly. And the irri
gation tax will be ten or twenty
times greater than any school tax
ever levied. Hence the amount of
probable delinquent tax, and there
fore unpaid bond interest is purely
conjectural.
The Denver High Line district has
voted bonds averaging $35 per acre.
There are many acres in it whioh are
not now, nor for many years will be,
salable for that. Much more likely
are tax delinquencies in outside, far
away sections where the bonded in
debtedness of sls or $lO per acre is
ten times the value of land at the
outset.
If, therefore, taxes may not be
equalized and adjusted, impossible
under the Churoh bill, the danger of
defeating the object of the district
land from which so much is hoped
for is imminent. Far better retain
the present law, under whioh such
extraordinary progress has been
made.—Denver Republican.
