Colorado Echoes on National Issues in Lamar Memoir
A Lamar Colorado column weaves through national topics from 1901 noting Carrie Nation and saloon battles, Hawaii’s territorial delegate case, Ore in Cripple Creek gold, tax bills and legal costs, Roosevelt plans, and Cuban-Spanish tensions. The piece highlights political fare, reform talk, and regional reaction to federal moves.
Oppressive Taxation Sparks Wide Legislative Debate
The revenue bill faces widespread protests from mines, railways, banks, and merchants across Colorado. Critics warn it would curb investment, raise costs, and hinder growth, while supporters argue it would provide needed funds. An Indiana measure to limit smashing parties is noted as a cautious response.
