Tax Situation
Weld County Commissioners and
the people ot the county generally
•eem disposed to go the limit in sup
port of Ur. Bedford’s lowered assess
ment of the taxable property in the
county.
The Commissioners have employed
D. C. McCreery to assist County At
torney Kelly In the work of appeal
ing and presenting the matter to the
State Board of Equalization, and to
carry the matter to the court of last
resort.
Boulder County Commissioners
hare cut their asaeesor's valuation to
make it oonform to Weld valuations
as they view the matter.
What other counties will do, If
anything, is not yet revealed. It la
certain that If the reductions stand
In Boulder and Weld counties, the
counties of Morgan, Logan, etc., will
go after a similar reduction the
coming year, If they do not this year.
If we understand the situation.
Weld will not oppose the reduction
in assessment of Bodluer farm lands.
In fact the principal point to the
Weld county position Is that farm
lands and farm property Is assessed
at too high a valuation, not only In
Weld county, but all over the state.
It is qutg apparent that If all farm
lands sre given a like cut. the con
test resolves Itself into a contest be
tween farm property and other forms
of property, more especially corpo
rations and public utilities.
While this will probably center
around railroads, other forms of pro
perty will be viewed with a critical
eye.
The Boulder Camera asserts that
the order reducing University Hill
valuations Is not justified. If the
rentals that undents pay for rooms
Is anything to go by, It would seem
that the Camera Is correct.
Mr. Mumper is out with a table
which shows that Denver valuatlorjt
have been decreasing.
Telephone valuations also Bgnre
In the controversy.
However, the whole Woversy
shows that It la not a ustther tor has
ty conclusions F 4Xw , ta xpaycr la
as much Interest-.* |„ the
ment placed upoi* : oU >er fornig of
property as be q>,upon his own. I
It seems t|* u* Uist It emphasizes
the need o* a Pax Commission. How \
else can we get at the abuse which'
Mr Mumper complain, of In Den-'
ver? If there Is no power to compel 1
Denver to como up to a fair compar-'
attve valuation, our (only recourse Is
to have our assessoi; start In a race
for the vanishing point in valua
tions and be sure that we secure an
assessor who will KO , t here flrgt
On tho f»ce of the charges made,
It would appear that the Tax Com-1

Fairy Tale
by MARY GRAHAM BONNER.
•rnnmm m vmtwm hwm mm ——
THE DINNER
Georgte Green Prog was dining with
the Shoos who lived at Gums Landing
and If you spell those words sroun-l
you will see what they really mean.
Georgte had been putting on airs of
late and had thought hla home |mnd
was not good enough for him and s<>
the Pond Fairy had taken him to see
these creatures.
He wu very happy when Unit be ar
rived for be thought that here he
would be appreciated. In the pom!
they hadn’t noticed him any more than
the others. And almost ss soon ns lie
had arrived he was asked to a dinner.
Oeorgle was right on time at the party
and soon after he had arrived the din
ner began. Everyone was talking.
“Did you know that once we went to
a dinner where they served the soup in
cups which weren’t cups at all?" asked
one of Georgte.
"Horrora goog-u-room. no," said
Oeorgle, who was already beginning to
feel out of place now and very home
sick.
"Of course they did not know what
was what,” said another who hud over
heard.
But as the dinner went along the
people, to Oeorgie’s mind, seemed to
grow shorter and shorter and smaller
and smaller and mu their voices
seemed to die away. Then one little
person spoke up anil suhl: "It was
what I said all along. We shouldn't
"Dining With tha Sbons.”
.iave asked him here. And now I know
Pm right Why, he was a Tadpole once
and then the family grew more pros
perous and they changed their name to
Frog.”
“That wasn’t It," said another, "all
those Frogs come from Tadpoles. He's
no better than any of them. And they
say that at home he eats bugs and
flies 1
“Also It has been rumored about that
when he ti out of the pond he swal
lows hla own akin when he Is getting
a new one. Such common thriftiness!"
But now their voices had ultuost
sunk away to nothingness, and Instead
Georgia heard some one alnglng In a
loud voice. This was the song:
Please, oh pleaee. my fond fairy friend.
By the kind Breese Brothere tide ra-a
•ace I send.
I’m homeetrk. I'm homesick. I went to
go beck.
I made e mleteke. alee and aleck!
There'a no piece In the world like one >
own homo
And never acaln do I wleh to roam!
Suddenly, Oeorgle saw the Pond
Fairy coming toward hint. She was
smiling and she looked more beuutlful
than she did before.
"So you aang my song, eh?" sin
asked.
Then It was that Oeorgle realized
that the song bad come from his own
throat and that he had been sing
ing It.
"Such curious people," he said on Ills
way back with the Pond Fairy. "They
made most awfully rude remarks about
me—about having been nothing hut a
tadpole In my earlier days ami such
speeches, hut do you know I really
didn't mind?"
“No?" the Pond Fairy said.
"I didn't mind In the least," mild
Georgte Green Frog. “They didn't
seem to be worth my notice —not be
cause I felt I was so superior. No. be
cause I thought how foolish It was to
be as they are and as I was only so
short a lime ago.
"Dear me, dear me, I’m glad you left
with me that song so I was able to
sing It when I needed you again! And
to think that I said I wouldn't really
need you and your kindness any more!
For I did say that when I Drat ar
ri ed. - I didn’t know I was alnglng
the gong though; I only knew how
much I wanted you and how much I
wanted to get back.
"They am Just as I was and now
I see how horrid I must have been.
How could my family nnd relatives
have even put up with me Is more than
1 can understand 1
“I didn't think of It until now but
their name spells Snobs, doesn't It?
Yes, that is wbat they were end that
la what I was, and goodness graelous.
snobs ire far from pleasant. Neither
do they seem very huppy themselves."
“They're not,” said the Pond Fulry.
They never dare be natural and they
really are miserable with the disposi
tion* they have I But now we're almost
home again I”
And Georgia Green Fro* blinked and
gurgled and chuckled and acid:
Home, home, home for a fro*
Who didn’t appreciate tbo old home log.
But now he will. oh. mover yon foarl
And In the tetnro he’ll always he hare!
