Mayor Will Enfore Law

Mayor J. L.

He says that the law has not been enforced there out of deference to the appeals of what seemed to be a majority of the citizens of that section of the city, but that he will now put on the lid, irrespective of persons

In elaborate black headlines the
Grand Junction News announced
that Hundreds of poor were provid
ed with Christmas cheer in Grand
Junction by the generosity of citi-
zens." Hundreds of people in a lit
tie city of eight thousand population
does not look well in print, and we
are inclined to believe that the head
line statement was an exaggeratton.
There are a few unfortunates, al
ways; but with crops so bountiful
and work so plentiful as has been
the case on the Western Slope this
year, we feel safe in saying that
there are fewer in need of char
ity within its boundaries than any
where else, and especially should
this apply to the agricultural and
fruit growing sections.

THE WEST MUST MANUFACTURE

THE WEST MUST IKE
1t is true that the Western stat
es have never realized the import
ance of manufacturing even its own
suppleies.
Up to the present there have beer
certain obstacles in the way, such
as labor costs and shipping facili-
ties, but these are not unsurmount-
able.
AS matter of fact the addi-
tional cost of labor would be but
little compared with the freights
We pay for goods made in the East,
while the absurdly foolish fact con-
fronts us of shipping many products
east to be manufactured and return
ed to US, thus being out the cost Of
manufacture and freight both ways.
Along many lines. Western cities
have the raw material, the fuel and
power at their doors, making their
territories ideal fields for manufac-
turing, an industry which for gen.
erations has constituted the prin-
cipal wealth of eastern cities. while
the West has used the goods. lost
the profits and paid the freight.
Manufacturing has not only made
the eastern cities wealthy, but has
helped to make them populous and
employed population means wealth
to its city or community. A Delta
citizen, recently returned from an
eastern city, said: II visited cities
where the manufacturers of auto
mobiles boosted that they were re-
ceiving forty million dollars a year
from customers everywhere.
How many of those automobiles
are in use in Colorado? AS be-
ginning there are about 100000
alone. From that estimate there
are doubtless more than $50, 100000
worth in the state. Is there any
city in the East where automo-
biles could be manufactured to bet
ter advantage than in Denver OF
Pueblo? We do not believe there is
and yet all that Colorado has is sell
ling agents. What would that $50,
100000 mean to Colorado If kept
at home, or even the half of 1t, to
the people of the state?
And this is only an example. II
Is easy to see that most of the ar
ticles our people use or consume
could be supplied by home manufac
turing. just as easily as sugar OIL
butter. 1t is merely the old famil.
lar illustration of the West feeding
the COW and allowing the East to
milk her.
When ever Colorado and Other
Western states awake to the import
ance of the manufacturing industr,
4 sufficiently to engage in 1t, they
will become on a par with the East
ern states in wealth and population
but not until then.

chances are they won't be hait
strong enough to stand the pres
sure, at the best. The average man
is not much more than a little old
weak human, when it comes to bat
ting against habits formed. and a
resolve to break off on New Year s

than to make a like resolve on any
other day of the year. People with

There can be but little pallia-
ton of the fact that the United
States government is getting mig
gardly as well as encumbering its
usefulness with bolts of red tape.
This is particularly noticeabel along
reclamation lines. If the old des-
ert lands are worth retaining,
they are worth spending some money
on, and the getting of that money
back should be the smallest matter
up for consideration. For such a
purpose money should be spent free
ly and work in all cases rushed to
completion. To make one farm home
for one of its citizens on one OF
its deserts is more credit to a gov
