Bracken Lees suggestion that state taxes should be reduced this year will probably be viewed with alarm and cause consternation, especially among the bureau personnel for which is might moan appropriation cuts.

Of particular interest is a poem, Heavy Upholstered Men, describing Butch Cassidy and his Robbers Roost gang, and the payroll robbery at Castle Gate in 1897. Mr. Johnson has done considerable research on this work. He was once secretary of the Price Chamber of Commerce, and his folks were among the earliest settlers on Huntington creek in 1879 and 1880. He now lives in Denver. The book may be secured by writing the publisher. The Story Book Press, Dallas, Texas, for two dollars. Men of distinction.
