WANTS EXTRA SESSION

And our great democratic governor
is to call an extra session of the legis-
lature to keep the pledges made by the
democratic Legislators before the cleo
tion of last year. 1t is an old story,
that pledge breaking farce called II
session of the Legislature last winter,
but it is not such a story that the
people of Colorado will forget the
democratic party, which was in con-
troll of the last legislature.
Our governor says he expects the
Legislators to carry out the pledges to
the letter. What did he expect the
before the regular session of last win
teri Did he honestly oelieve that the
democrats in the two houses would
ignore their promises and film fam the
people into reelectng them on their
broken promises? Perhaps he did, but
if so, the howl he heard from every
quarter has stirred him to action and
the extra session will be called.
OF course, we of Garfield county
cannot point with pride to the work of
our state senator and representatives.
They were sent there to do certain
things, but failed and that Is all there
is to it. But if Governor Shafroth TX
poets our senator and representative to
fall into line at his beck and call. Le
is mistaken. When men disregard the
wishes of the people as Napier and
Luxen disregarded the wishes of the
people of this county, there is but lit
tie hope of their ever doing anything
that Boss Speer does not want them
to do. But the extra session must be
called for 'honestjohn to make gooa
his threats made some months ago.
Honestjohn' is the man who has
caused the assessor of this county to
raise the taxes Of the farmers and now

GRAND VALLEY PROJECT

State papers have been filed the past
week with stories to the effect that the
government did not intend to take hold
of the big canal for the lower Grand
valley at the present time. This an
nouncemcnt was first made through the
Denver dailies, which printed discour-
aging story early in the week. More
than one of the energetic farmers of
Grand valley felt a little mite blue
after hearing that Secretary Ballinger
had announced that there would be
''nothing - DOING by the government
for some time.
But hardly had the dispatches from
Washington found space in the Denver
papers when Secretary Ballinger wrote
letter to the Grand Junction booster,
Secretary Aupperle of the Waters
Users association, in which he said:
"Will be unable to visit Grand June
tion on the seventeenth as planned. Ex-
pect to be there with the president.
In conversation with the president 1T
has been decided to take no further a.
tion in the Grand Junction matter unttl
our arrival there
This would indicate that there is
something wrong. Either Secretary
Ballnger was mis-quoted by the Wash
ington dispatches or some more weight
must be brought to bear by the water
users to have the work carried on as
planned 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the government does not stop
work on the Grand valley project, and
the Post believes that the visit of the
president to that section next week will
be the signal for the work to start in
real earnest.

THE FOOT-PATH TO PEACE

To be glad of life, because it gives
you the chance to love, and to work,
and to play, and to look up at the stars,
to be satisfied with your possessions,
but not contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them; to
despise nothing in the world except
falsehood and meanness, and to fear
nothing except cowardiee; to be govern.
ed by your admiration rather than by
your disgusts; to covet nothing that is
your neighbor s, except his kindness of
heart and gentleness of manners; to
think seldom of your enemies. often of
your friends, and every day of Christ;
and to spend as much time as you can
with body and with spirit as you can
out of doors-these are little guide posts
on the foot-path to peace.-Harry vaa

MANUFACTURERS AND THE
CENTRAL BANK.

According to the November issue of
tie American Industries, the official
journal of the National Association of
Manufacturers, the manufacturers of
the country are not yet ready to accept
the central bank. They will listen with
interest to what Senator Aldrich has
to say on his Western trip, but they are
not yet prepared to declare themselves
for the central bank plan.
American Industries says the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
prefers to wait until Senator Aldrich
and his colleagues on the monetary
commission are given a fair oppor-
tunity to make their recommendations.
Senator Aldrich is warned that his
currency ideas viii have to be fully
demonstrated before they are accepted,
and that it is the middle West chiefly
that will insist on the demonstration,
though other sections of the country
are by no means fully convinced. The
situation is thus described;
