Show The State Scalpers. Gov. Cooper of Colorado. As a matter of beneBt to the state treasury, however slight it may be, I would suggest the abolition of all bounties; boun-ties; of the general indebtedness $10,-910.25 $10,-910.25 is the suppression of the loco weed. During the past two years the state paid for wolf aud coyote scalps ,083.2O; for bear scalps, $!S,8b7.55; for lion scalps, $."i,8;i() 00, making a total of $24,11.05. The bounties for 1800 are in excess of those of lt8!l, which, in the language of tho treasurer, "is a proof of importation rather than extermination." |
