Some portions of Conejos
county are forest reserves, and the
line is on the top of the continent
tai divide among the rocks and
bad lands. This bill not only
seeks to deprive us of these lands
about to become valuable, but it
takes away more than half of the
railway valuation and the shops of
the railway. If the people of the
county really wished division they
would not have appealed to the
gentleman from Gilpin to intro
duce their bill. Two senators and
two members of this house come
from there, and anything the peo-
pie really want they would have
asked through one of these four.

Mr.. Garcia followed in a short
address, stating that he had been
surprised that anyone had taken
the bill seriously. IF we had sup
posed" he said, that there was
any danger of this bill receiving
consideration we could have
brought any number Of petitions
here against it. | have not heard
from any taxpayers demanding
this county. 1t comes at a time
when Coneios county is trying to
pay its debts, and the added ex-
pense of making a new county

especially as they don't want it.
Many of my friends live in Ala
mosa and they have not asked me
to vote for this bill 1t is almost
laughable to think that my consti-
tuents have to appeal to the gentle
man from Gilpin to fight their bat
ties for them. | would have been

Mr. Garman of Denver paid a
tribute to the honesty of MIR. Gar
cia. who had stood by him several
years ago when leaders in Mr..
Garcia's own party condemned him
for doing so. That was the kind of
a man he admired; one who kept
his promises in the face of such
strong opposition. He would vote
against the county because his
friend Garcia wished him to do so.
After this showing it was seen
that the bill stood no possible
show of passing, SO it was speedily
killed.
Recognizing his superior ability
in the matter of separating good
Legislation from bad, the senate
has selected Senator Adams for
chairman of the committee to
advance bills on special orders.
Unless this committee approves it
no bill can get to place on the
senate calendar where it will be
reached during the session. BY
this means the senate hopes to dis
pose of the wild-haired and cranky
bills that have been able to get
through the house.

Good Town Ticket Nominated.

have the careful attention OF the
people of La Jara. For two years
past the people have not had an
opportunity to say at the ballot
box whether or not they wanted a
change, Notwithstanding that the
law plainly states that elections
shall be held annually, and very
naturally it is at the present time
and will be until election day the
subject of interest before the peo-
pie.
Saturday a primary was held at
the town hall by the Citizens
Party and ticket nominated
of excellent material. Leroy
Wilson, for mayor, is recognized as
one of the leading business men of
the town. He is active in affairs,
progressive, has good executive
ability, good judgment and will do
what is needed for the best in
terests of the town. He is tax
payer and large property owner
and having the good of the town
at heart will devote sufficient time
to town affairs to insure prosperity.
He has served as town trustee and
is familiar with town business.
He is the best equipped man in
town for the position and the
people are indeed fortunate that
he has been prevailed upon to
allow his name to head the ticket.
For trustees, II. o. Ellis, d. A.
Gibbs and l. B. Richardson were
nominated for the one year term;
j. E. Braiden, Frank Fl. Phillips
and Thos. McCunniff for the two
wear term. Mr.. Braiden for per-
sonal reasons would not accept
and l.. p. Pemberton has been
nominated in his stead. These
gentlemen are all property owners
and tax payers, well known to the
voters of the town. They staad
for straight forward administra-
ton that will make La Jara grow
and prosper. They are business
men who will bring to town affairs
sound business principals of which
it stands in need
This election is of special i'm
portance to the people of La Jara
and should have the consideration
and personal attention of every
one who has any interest in the
welfare of the town. Important
matters will come up during the
next two years. The time is at
hand for La .Jara to emerge from
crossroads state into a town of the
first Importance. The time has
come for the people to awake from
their dreaming and throw off the
rule of the bosses who peril every
business interest but their own.
Without confidence in the stability
of towns administration how
can it grow and prosper? Town
government is to foster and pro-
tect the business interests, not to
annoy and harass them; to fos-
ter and encourage home, social and
moral life, with good will for all
and enmity toward none. Live
and let live must be the motto of
all communities who would become
great. No one man may set him
self up in community and say,
"All roads lead to me-" and that
community prosper. The man
may prosper put the town, no. All
roads lead to La Jara but in order
that she prosper, all her different
business interests must reach out
along these roads for trade in their
own way.
The Citizens ticket is without Il
flaw, it stands for a change, it
stands for ''do something" instead
of "do everybody" There is no
politics in this election. 1t is sim
ply a matter of voting for the best
/ interests of the town. Voting for

Senate Kills Amendment to

tlnger Speaks at Length In Favor
Of an Increased Tariff.
Washington, June 19.-The senate
voted down Senator Browns amend
ment placing print paper on the free
list Of the tariff bill 20 to 81. Senator
Lorimer voted against the amendment
All the Democrats except Mr.. Bailey
voted for the amendment Only Sen
ators Beveridge, Bristow, Brown and
Burkett among the Republicans voted
Dor it.
When debate on the paper schedule
was resumed Senator Gallinger made
reply to many of the statements of
Senator Brown in favor of placing
print paper on the free list.
IF increase in the price of an arti-
Gle is a reason for putting it on the
free list" said Mr.. Gallinger, then
this bill ought to be made up of the
free list and nothing else"
Saying he had been in the paper
mills of Canada and knew of the
wages paid there Mr.. Gallinger de-
clared that wages in this country are
80 per cent greater than in any prov
ince of the Dominion of Canada in all
industries, papermaking included. He
presented petitions against reduction
in the duty on print paper from the
knights of Labor and Brotherhood of
Papermakers and said these work
men were quick to detect danger to
labor by such reduction.
If Canada, he said, gets control of
the wood pulp and print paper bust
ness the newspapers will be at the
mercy of Canada in the matter of
price. He believed the rate of duty
recommended by the committee on
finance to be too small and predicted
that it would be regarded as monu-
mental blunder. He preferred to con-
tinue the duty of the Dingley law.
Competition Regulates Price.
1.-THE price," he said, ".has been kept
down by competition. It is conceded
that no trust exists and that there is
no combination to advance the price
of paper"
The newspapers, he declared, were
far from being unanimous on the
subject of free print paper. "The
clamor for this legislation,'' he said,
comes largely from the cheap and
sensational part of the newspaper
press"
Following Mr.. Gallinger Senator
Brown again took the floor. He I'M
dertook to withdraw his amendment
for free paper so as to place himself
in position to support the provision of
the bill which levied a duty of 50 in
stead of 81 ton on print paper as
proposed by the finance committee
II object" interposed Senator Al
drlch, which objection made necessary
an aye and no vote on Mr.. Browns
amendment
Following closely the defeat of Mr..
Browns amendment Mr.. Stone offered
