Denver.-Atorney General Griffith
has given an opinion to the House Of
Representatives to the effect that the
recently adopted constitutional amend.
ment dealing with the pay Of legos.
lators and removing the time limit OF
ninety days.is effective now and is ap
plicable to the present assembly. Hold.
over senators elected two years ago
are eligible to share in the increased
salaries. The matter is gone into fully
and cases In point are quoted to up
hold the opinion Of Mr.. Griffith tina:
the amendment became effective on
its adoption at the November election.
The question of most delicacy was re-
garding the salaries of the senators
elected two years before the adoption
of the amendment. Under statute en-.
actment members Of the assembly
could not increase their own pay; but
this was a constitutional amendment
and the plethemeslves were respon-
sible for it. "The people in their SOW
ereign capacity, through amendments
to the constitution. may raise or lower
official salaries. il they see fit, with.
out violating any right or rule Of law, =

ECZEMA GONE, BolLs cuREl

my son was about three weeks old
when l noticed breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also. and in few days became solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema The lit
tie fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. By the end
of that time, he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials of great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success, l dropped the doc
tors treatment, and commenced the
use Of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
and In q few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders.
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace Of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
hollis which l cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctors treatment, I used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head a mass of silky curls.

Another GIFT For Colorado.

Denver.-Formal acceptance by
Colorado of the Fort Lewis Indian
school property has been filed with
the secretary OF the interior by Sena-
tor Guggenheim.
This, it is believed, will prevent any
action to recall the grant.
Colorado can also have the Teller
institute and grant at Grand Junction,
# accepted at once, but will lose it If
an effort is made to extend the time
for its acceptance.
Senator Guggenheim filed with the
secretary of the interior the formal
acceptance by the governor of Colo
RADIO Of the grant to the state Of the
Fort Lewis Indian school lands and
property, also certified copy of the
act passed by the Colorado Legisla-
ture appropriating funds for main
tenance of a school at Fort Lewis.
An official Interpretation of the
Grand Junction Indian school land
grant, made by Secretary Ballinger
End received by Representative Tay-
lor, settles the question as to the
liability Of the state in accepting these
lands, and Mr.. Taylor believes the in
depreciation will result in immediate
acceptance by the legislature. Rep
resentative Taylor submitted the
statute to the secretary several days
ago. asking for an official construc-
tion. In his reply the secretary of
the interior says:
II will say that the only obligation
which the act seems to impose upon
the state in accepting the grant is
that Indian pupils shall be admitted
to the schools free of charge for tut
tion, and on term of equality with
white pupils.
"The provision respecting the ap.
preparation for maintenance of the
school and pay of the superintendent
provides that such appropriation shall
not be available after the school has
been turned over to the state, and 1t
is not believed that in accepting the
grant the state assumes an obligation
To clothe and support the Indian pupils
who may thereafter attend the In
stitution"
| Ex-senator Teller has Joined with
Representative Taylor in telegram
to Governor. Shafroth. assuring him
that any attempt to have the grant ex'
tended is absolutely out of the ques'
ton, and would be sure to cause Colo
RADIO to lose these lands.

OFFERS TO PUT UP SlOO
IF THIS STORY APPEARING
IN TRIBUNE IS NOT TRUE
Two Communications are Submitted on Question
of Coal Business---One CTeeleyite and One
kerseyite Write to the Tribune on Vital
Subject.
Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune:
Noting a piece written by A. L.
Camp declares coal prices too high
in Greeley. l could talk at length
but would rather not and will
therefore contine this article to my
own troubles regarding the price OF
coal. Greeley VS.. Kersey. and will
try to give you little inside infor-
nation in regards to the cause.
Now year and half ago l quit
the farm and started in the coal and
feed business in kersey, and coming
right in from the country and not
being familiar with the tactics of
corporations. so just used my own
judgment as to profits and went to
ber that year ago Gree'ey was SELL
ing all their good coal at 1925 per
ton and their poorer grade at as low
as $3.50 per ton. So finding that the
freight rate on the coal / was going
to handle was just the same as to
Greeley just got smart as they call
it and cut coal to 1925 per ton and
thereby offending the Gilcrest-Rus-
sell company and previous to this
they were taxing the consumer SIS
to $3.50 per ton and making them
use the shovel and take 1t as 1t came
and then complaining that there was
no money in the coal business and
yet there is no mystery to their as
sertions as they were driving all our
coal trade to Greeley and other
points. and why not, when the farm
er could save 50 per ton. did 1t
myself, as l could save 81 a trip. but
having made little money ON the
farm thought would try the feed
and coal business and not to my
surprise o. o. Russell came down to
Kersey and leased my competitors.
E. w. Burke. feed store and sent
prices a tumbling on grain and
smashed coal prices and in fact 1t
looked like they were going to
smash the earth and that Fischer
was going to take his family by the
hand and walk out Of town, but not
yet. as 1t seems that the wide-awake
farmers and merchants realize what
they have received from the corpora
tion in the past. have been loyal to
the cause. and while they are doing
a good business / am getting my
share and am thankful to my pat
rons for the stand they have taken
and this is why coal and feed IL so
cheap IN Kersey.

Editor Tribune:
As = usual thing the discussion
of any topic through the columns
OF a newspaper is unsatisfactory
both to the public and the parties
interested. However, | have gained
some salts faction from the discus
sion of the coal question with MIR.
Camp In that Il is some satisfaction
to me to know that | have been
discovered -even by A. L. Camp
and that / am now known at such a
great distance from Greeley as the
Poudre river,
Mr.. Cam stated through the col
umns OF your paper on February
that with the exception of one town
goods Were probably higher in
Greeley than in any other town in
the state and as an example cited
the price OF coal, comparing the
Boulder price with that of Greeley
In the first place his statement
was deceptive in that he evidently
forgot TO mention the difference in
ITelSnt rates
Second. his statement was decept-
i've In that he evidently forgot to
mention the fact that there was more
than one grade OF coal.
Third. he evidently forgot to men
tion the fact that there has per-
haps not been time during the win
ter when the same grades of coal
az sold at Boulder could not be
purchased in Greeley at from s4.S5
to $500 a ton and that the paying
Of this price for poorer coal or $3.50
ton for the best grade has. at all
times. been optional with the public
No one xSsareeley has been forced
to pay $3.50 a ton for coal.
The omission OF these facts
naturally deceive the public as to
the actual conditions II this COM
munication was taken seriously.
The Puritan coal selling in Boul-
der on February Z at $4.25 a ton
yielded the Boulder dealer five per
cent more gross profit per ton than
the Gorham and Industrial Goals
sold BY Greeley dealers at $3.50 a
ton In other words. the Boulder
dealer made five per cent more gross
on the Puritan coal at s4.25 ton
than the Greeley dealer made on
Gorham and Industrial coal at $3.50
a ton.
This In itself demonstrates that
while coal Is apparently higher in
