.Mr. William Gower Berber, of 131
West Bennett avenue, Colorado
Springs, says: "I was interviewed byl
a gentleman in tho mouth of June.
1899, about Doan's Xtfnsy P1Ils. Ij
'was then living in Pueblo, Colo., andi
I told him tbt after suffering for
four or Svo years with backache and
other consequences of either weaken
ed or excited kidneys, I went to my
druggist in Pueblo for Doan's Kidney
Pills and took a course of treatment.
They cured -mo, and cured me quick
ly. Sinco then I have not had the
slightest symptom of a recurrence. I
have recommended them to a number
of friends and acquaintances and told
them If they did not cure them they
could return the box to me, and I
would pay them for them. No ono
over came tack with a box, so 1 know
they were cured."

Assessment Laws.
It Is to be expected that as the state
grows In population and in wealth
there must bo a proportionate increas"
In expenditure to successfully c1f'
Istor Its affairs. But It does not fol
low that the general rate of taxation
should continue to increase. The
steady srowth In wealth, constantly
adding to tho aggregate assessed valu
ation, ought to keep down the rate
of tho tax levy. This has not been
the case. With an Increased and stead
ily Increasing expenditure, the rate
of the levy has not only remained sta
tionary, but tho tendency is to in
crease each year. Tho responsibili
ty for this condition of things lies pri
marily In a defective assessment of
the several counties.
Notwithstanding tho acknowledged
fact that there has been a laree in-
Icroase In our population since 1892,
ana, in consequence, n proportionate
Increase In wealth, the returns made
to tho secretary of state by the as
sessors of tho several counties show
that the aggregate assessed valuation
of all tho property In the state in 1S!?
was $1C0.2G3,GJG, while In 1899 It had
decreased to $120,S2S.S79, reaching in
lauu tne sum or ?U7,S0 1,874.13.
Tho decrease has been steady each
year since the date first mentioned,
with the exception of 1893, when there
was a slight Increase in the total val
uation. If this condition continues.
tne result is inevitable under tho nres
ent system of taxation that the fixed
governmental charges remaining tho
same and other expenses continuing
10 increase, tno rate or taxation must
correspondingly Increase. An examl-
nation of tho assessment rolls will dis
close that a malorltv nf tho rnmiHna
have decreased their aggregate valu
ations, when every man in tho state
knows that thero Is not a single coun
ty In tho state but has Ineroasprl In
both population and wealth.

Tho constitution renulres that "tho
legislative assembly shall nrovldo bv
law ror uniform and equal rate of tax
ation." As a step to that end, tho law
provides that all property shall bo as
sessed-at Its true cash value. In order
to be uniform it is not esential that
property should all bo assessed at Its
true cash value. This requirements
would as well be attained If nil prop
erty wore assessed at tho same pro
portionate part or Its value, nut the
law Is violated In letter and spirit
when no unirorm basis for assess
ment Is fixed In any of tho counties.
In somo it Is assessed at oiio-nuartor.

Value of Lands.
Somo provision ought to be made
to enable tho board to ascertain and
obtain the actual value of lands
fought to be purchas6d. When appli
cation Is mado, tho lands embraced
therein should bo appraised by tho
state land agent In connection with
tho local agent of tho board, or some
disinterested persons, to bo selected
for that purpose at tho expense of
tho applicant. Thero should be no

has Intended should bo performed by
