Forestry Policy Splits
Stock Associations.

Colorado now has two stock associa-
tions. the American Live Stock Associa-
tion almost unanimously endorsing the
Roosevelt Pinchot forestry policy, while
the Cattle and Horse Growers Associa-
tion were opposed. This was the wedge
that split the associations.
The Delta Live Stock Association has
always been an enthusiastic advocate of
the Pinchot system and was the first
county association to withdraw from
the Cattle and Horse Association. This
they did year ago. At the Denver
convention there was something of a
stampede to the organization. w. Joe
Whnnery. of Hinsdale county and lsacc
Baer, of Routt county. who have fought
the Pinchot system, announced that
they were mistaken and now declared
in its favor. They were Justify ap-
plauded.

Public Us. Private Enterprises.

A careful business administration of
government affairs would bring profits
where there are often deficits. Private
and corporate enterprises show enor-
nous dividends. They are managed for
profit. Along similar lines many public
administrations of government, states,
county and cities are failures, showing
loss where they should show profit.
A public enterprise. if wisely planned
and rightly handled, has more chance
to succeed than a private one, for it
can be surrounded by influences to aid
in its success.
1t is not credit to the heads of great
departments the postoffice depart
ment-to show large deficits from year
to year. There are many ways to in
crease the revenue without establish
ing petty job office for printing cards
on envelopes.
1t has been noticed that whenever
an emergency occurred where this
government required large fund for
war or othef great emergency. suffi-
cient to call for clear and capable finan-
cial planning. a way was devised by
which millions accrued to the treasury
without the people scarcely feeling that
they were making contributions.

Caught in Sand Cave.

J. II. Stanton, of Eckert. sustained
injuries the first of this week by being
caught in cave of sand while excavat-
ing for building on Paynes Mesa grade.
He was promised help but the help fail
ing to appear he went to work alone.
Hearing the covering crack he threw
himself toward the entrance, but was
caught and covered by the sand. He
managed to free his head so he could
breathe, but was compelled to lay in
that position for an hour and half,
when Mr.. Wiley, of Paynes Mesa,
came along and freed him. w. T..
Smith, of Hart's Basin. brought him to
Delta. He sustained broken arm. at
the wrist, which DR.. Burgess set. MIR.
Stanton is doing as well as could be
expected.

Canvass for Directory Completed.

The canvass for the Delta Directory
is practically finished and most of the
copy will be given to the printers on
Monday. If there is anyone who thinks
that he or she has heen missed or that
the information has been given incor-
rectly, if anyone has moved or expects
to move soon. or has changed his busi-
ness or employment or expects to go
into business will notify the publisher
the correction will be made. There are
a number of residents of Delta who are
away from Delta and will be for some
time and who are therefore unable to
give the directory man their names and
addresses. The publisher is using
every possible means to obtain this in
formation. and he will be glad to have
any one give him the names and street
address of any one who would other
wise be missed. Address F. A. Mckin-
ney, p o. Box 26s or ring up Bell Tele-
phone Red l63. Corrections will be
made in the directory up to the very
last minute while the book is being
printed.

Should Country Printing
Offices Be Taxedo

OF all county institutions there are
none which do more for the up-building
of county and the advancement of its
terests than its papers.
They spend time and money week
after week advertising its resources.
Through their influence new people
are brought in, new enterprises pro-
NOTED and the assessable valuation of
property made to grow.
While struggling institutions, the
county papers surely have as much right
to exemption from taxes as have the
churches and schools. for which their
space and income and time are also
drawn upon.
There is not public institution OF
measure or charity, which does not
call upon the newspaper in some way
for space and demands that the news.
paper man pay money to fill that space
for its benefit.
Viewing it from these standpoints,
to tax local newspapers is not merely
an injustice, hardship and an oppres.
sion. but it is an outrage beyond com.
