We had the pleasure, or other
wise of listening to.a political
harrangue Wednesday night by
Senator DeLong of Grand Jun
ction. The Senator paced the
floor aud grew vociferously elo
quent in denouncing the trusts
and Democrats and in eulogising
John B. Stephens for governor
and James C. Bunger for Con
gress. While denouncing the
trusts he failed to mention that
he voted for Senator Guggen
heim, (of the monopyly smelter
trust) for United States Senator,
he also failed to ‘‘point with
pride’’ to the fact-that John B.
Stephens and James C. Bunger
also voted for Mr. Guggenheim.
Why did he withold this infor
mation from his hearers? There|
was a mighty good reason why,
and. we honestly question the
right'of any man to set himself
up as a guide to public honesty
of thought and action who coun
tenanced and supported by his
vate the election of Simon Gug
genheim. ~ This is too recent to
be forgotten. Such a man we
consider ,utterl& unfit to teach
To the editor of the Arvada
Enterprise. —
“Inasmuch as there appeared in
the Peoples Pressand the Golden
Globe a two column article la
menting that I did not tell all I
knew about the affairs of the As
sessor’s o.‘zce, and since they
did not attempt to answer or in
any way overthrow my state
ments, but sought rather to ac
count for some items mentioned,
please allow me; through your
paf)er, to explain somewhat also
n one short article it is impos
sible to say all that the people
are entitled to know and even
now I will not ask for space to
say all that I wish the people
might know.,
So far as this land in question
is concerned, it is one of the
| most tangled affairs in the county
and too long a story to explain
here, suffice to say that after all
|rebates have heen allowed, it is
now bringing in more revenue
than it has for many years back.
The yacation deed we are acused
of ignon‘ng in 1909 was filed for
|record on October Brd 1910, book
1165, page 323.
| Thg excuse made for Lewis
and Newcomb for not putting in
a card system free of all cost to
| the county except for cards ‘and
filing cases seems to us very
flimsy as these things cost so
little. Our land slip. cases cost
|just $2.25 and the card boxes
were made by a local carpenter.
The maps and charts in our
| possession which are valuable to
| this office were not taken from
|the clerk’s offiice, neither are
they duplicated there.
| As for the extra expense in
this office, without looking up an
item let us take their figures but
[please compare the expense with
|the expense of the clerk’s office
at the same period. Now I know
||that this is hard to do for the
|reason that the clerk’s report
| does not show what the receipts
101‘ expenses of that office are.
_[We know this, however, that
|during Mr.Newcombs last term,
|the clork, with one deputy did
|| the work of the clerk,s office,
|\ now it keeps four persons busy.
|lf the work of that office is
1| doubled why is it unreasonable
»|that the expense in the assess
_lor’'s ofTice should be inecreased
f a'so. for increased work in the
..clerk’s office means incregsed
t work in the assessor’s office.

ARVADA, COLORABO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1910
Facts.
Jefferson County Finah “-i
Editor of Arvada Enterprise, -
“‘Fjgures do not lie buk diars
will fjlgure." This is abso ately
proved by figures gl yen by both|
the Globe and the People 8% 58~§
They wish to make IGE@ppear
that the county is deeperiiiidebt
by three times than thesounty’
was when the Democrats® ij
charge. Here are a few it r,esl
that may interest the taxpayers.
Outstanding warrants e m'i
iw% SR War- |

new board that were coOnSse 6d|
during 1908, $65.00, makisgt: hel
total — indebtedness | $4BE80:01.
How does that compar@iwith
$17,317.31, the statementifi the
Glohe and Press? .
To prove which boletl is
really extravagant, read i fol
lowing: During 1908 the old
board issued warrants #8 the
amount of $79,512.70 oni#f ap
propriation of $75,000.00%0F $4.-
512.70 more than approptiated.
And, as shown above, they#pent
$14,409.05 of the 1909 Sppro
priation' before they lef§i If
they were really anziousito do
the right thing, why didn’§they
leave the awarding of thebridge
contract to the new board;¥now
ing that they would be sworn in
i side of a few days? & |
~ The total nd:btedness @f the
‘county when the Democrats took
charge was $45,060.91. ' The in-)
‘ecbtcdr.ess today is $42 " al-|
‘most three thousand do ars less
than at the close of the Républi
can adniristration. Besides the
‘Dcmocrats spent ten thousand|
dcllars for permanent improve-|
ments while the Republicans did
not spend one dollar £ »per-f
manent improvement of ' any
kind. e
ing 1908" wa5d'52,230.60" OXlpe:
the district attorney and his dig
uty got $793.35, more than g
third. The district court ek
pense for 1909 was $4,161.41, al
most doubled, while our Demg:
cratic district attorney and hig
deputy drew only $538.10, 275.25
less with four times as many
convictions. Further, during the
first six months of 1910 the dis
trict court expense amounted to
$4,862.05.
This will show you,Mr. Tax
payer, between the real facts,
and figures published by the Re
publican press, - where some of
your money is going.
Further, some of these Repub
lican papers are giving a com
parison of expenditures during
eighteen months of Democratic
rule and eighteen months of Re
publican rule. Insteadof giving
the last eighteen months of Re
publican rule they give thefirst
eighteen months of the last term,
Why this juggling of figures?
Why do-they cfiarge the $14,474.
05 against the Democrats when
it was spent by the Republicans?
That it fias cost more, and does
cost more from year to year, is
very natural and the present ad
ministration has more to show
for the money sgent during the
two years past than the Repub
licans have for all the years they
have been in power. = -
The only two stee' bridges
they built on Clear Cr.ck were
built on the sand inste:d of on
bed rock as specified m the con
tract, and the present board-hadt
tospend S3BOO additional build
ing abutments under these two
bridges; spent SI3OO putting in a
steam ‘heating plant in the court
house and what Republicang
would dare criticise their actiop?
In round numbers the present
board has spent about two'nty
thousand dollars on perny.nent
improvements which is Iwenty
thousand dollars more #han the
Republicans ever spent, judici
ousaly of on permanent, improve
| ment of anykind.
Very truly vours,
F. A. EICKHOFF,

mayor of our. sister town Moun

Political Rallies in Arvada.
I Let an unprejudiced person at- |’
'“end two political rallies of oppo
|site parties and wherein is Le
&Ibenefited?
| The Democrats held their ral'y
|last Friday. There was a lai; e
crowd which filled the hall anc |
‘lall the good things that could bc
| said about the Democrats wert
‘said. The Republicans held their |
|rally on Wednesday and the hal
| was again filled and all the %00. |
| things that could .be, said about
-|the Republicans were said,and in
-|addition the Democrats wert
[roundly denounced. A
'\ The Democrats said certain
. things were so and the Republi
‘tcans said they were not so; the
| Democrats assured the people
||they were economical and the
< Republicans said they were
‘{spendthrifts. : .
1| The Democrats were greatly
:lelated over their great rally and
{we suppose were greatly en
' thused, and so were the Repub
-|licans over theirs, but we ven
| ture to say the unprejudiced man
| could attend both meetings and
- get little or no good from either.
- Will the time ever come when
‘ La politican will get up before an
laudience and make a broad
-|statesman-like speech and get
‘lout of his narrow partisanship
)|Until such a time comes, rallies
'lare of very little help in reach
|ing a conclusion.
| At the Republican rally there
\'was a large number of Demo
crats present and we noticed but |
|a few Republicans present at the !
‘{Democratic rally but in both!
|cases they took their medicine
|bravely and we suppose left the
|meeting hating the other side
-|worse than before. |
