ROLBING THE POOR. High salaried officials taxed workers
An old Colorado Bayard style denunciation accuses bank and railroad leaders of unlawfully charging garnishee fees since July 9 1885. It cites General statute 1571 and section 8 page 209 session laws 1855, alleging $15000 to $20000 in excess fees collected from laborers whose wages were garnished. Judge Simmonds condemns the practice as a grave wrong against workingmen, with profits accruing to corporations and their high salaried officials rather than the poor wage earners.
