Resolutions by Commissioners

A complete system of highways
'or Colorado without special refer
ence to any one route is believed by
the county commissioners to be the
best for the state. This was the dec
laration made at their recent con-
yention in Denver, and it places that
body on record as not being in SYM
pathy with the action of the major
ity of delegates, but minority OF
counties at Pueblo
On the contrary the resolutions oi
the commissioners practically en-.
dorse the steps taken by those coun-
ties which have protested against
the action taken at Pueblo. and
which have organized the Greater
Colorado Highways association.
In their resolutions the county
commissioners made the followine
declarations:
We express ourselves as being ir
favor of all the principal roads as
outlined by the state highway com
mission in the map recently pub
lished; that we particularly favol

figures for 1910 and 1899 furnish
an accurate basis Tor COMPARISON
Although the last census was taken
nearly at the high tide OF agricui-
tural prosperity, as popularity esti-
mated by values for land and crops.
the comment is sometimes made that
these advantages are discounted by
a corresponding increase in the
average price of those supplies
which farmers must purchase.
About 81 per cent of the crop
area OF the United States is repre-
sented by ten crops-wheat, corn,
oats. barley rye, buckwheat, pota-
toes, hay, cotton and tobacco. Ihe
department OF agriculture finds that
the average value per acre of these
crops in 1910 was 62.7 per cent
higher than in 1899. Every one OF
these crops showed an increase
above 81 per cent. On the other
hand, list OF over eighty articles
which farmers purchase. including
a range from wagons to steel traps,
and from -four to binder twlne'
shows that their prices to farmers
rose about | 4 per cent from 1879 10
1910. Kerosene. shotguns ana cream
separators decreased in cost Inc
greatest increase In cost was 53s
per cent for brooms.
The average value per acre of the
important crops in 1910 was sufflc-
tent to purchase more OF any or
these supplies than the average
value in 1899 would purchase, with
the single exception of brooms. The
purchasing power of an acre OF corn
in 1910 was 39.2 per cent more
than in 1892 the purchasing power
Of an acre of wheat was 53.2 per
cent more. and that of cotton a..
per cent more. Taking the ten m
portant crops already mentioned the
purchasing power OF an acres ylelu
averaged AL per cent more in l.
than in 1899.
Coincident with this increase or
AL per cent In the purchasing pow
er of the crop from an acre. there
has been an increase of 1O9 per cent
in the value of land, as shown py
the census figures. With the eco,
nomic value of the crop increased
nearly one-half. while the value or
the land has more than doubled

GOVERNMENT TELEPHONE IN

| While Postmaster General Hitch
/ cock is announcing his intention OF
! asking congress to take charge OF
! the telegraph lines OF the United
States. a parallel assumption OF
public utilities has actually taken
place in Britain. where. on the first
day of 1912, the whole telephone
business of the country was trans
ferred to the government. and those
employed in carrying it on were en-
rolled as members of the civil ser
vice. The government has owned
the telegraph service since 1870.
and has owned telephone trunk lines
several years. The telephone bur-
eaus will become amalgamated with
the various post offices and will, of
course, be under the administration
of the postmaster general. This, We
are told. will further convenience
and economy and reduce rates. The
ease and promptness with which the
change was made were remarkable
The government has for some time
been running certain state lines, as
the London Daily News remarks:
I'VE have for some years been en-
gagged in the telephone business, the
trunk lines having passed into the
hands of the nation some years ago.
But the new business is Of far great
er dimensions than the old. BY it's
transfer the nation will add a mil
lion and a quarter miles of wire to
its equipment, some 100000 names
to its list of telephone clients. and 1t
will increase the capital cost OF the
entire system to something like

An Evening in Brazil

Guests of the Fortnightly Musical
club were taken to Brazil Monday
night for two hours after they had
assembled in Camfield hall. Perhaps
it were better to say that Brazil was
brought to Greeley. since the trans
porting was done through the little
known music of that far south coun-
try of romance.
The evening was devoted to Bra
lillian music, under the DIRECTION OF
Mrs. Charles f. Southard and the
occasion proved to be one of the
most enjoyable in the history of the
club. The conventional program
was eliminated for once, and the
several hundred present heard num-
bers as unique as they were delight
full.
The program was divided into two
parts-the irst selections from the
opera Guarany, by Carlos Gomez
The scene is near Rio more than
800 wears ago. In the seven num-
bers from this work given Mrs.
Southland was assisted by the Misses
Camtield, Bunker, Abbott, Hanna
and Mr. Philips and Mrs. Petrikin
and Mrs Beaman. The music
ranged from the wild. barbaric Ell
fects produced by the ancient IN
struments of centuries ago to the
impassioned love lyrics colored by
the later coming of the Italian ana
Spanish singers. throughout the
opera are presented musically tone
colors in which are mingled the
clash of spears, the shouts of priml-
tive warriors. the signing of the
lovel0rn chief and the plaintive love
song of the maiden. The passion
and glow of the Orient is subdned
by the less wild and more sensuous
melody of Italy. Spain and contrib
uting sources to the art OF the In
dans.
The second part of the program
was more diversified in character
and introduced the various compos-
ers through the medium of MISS
HAYNES. Miss Bunker. Mrs. Strons'
Miss Camtield. Mrs. Beaman. MISS
pelbridge and Mrs. Kendel ana
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Rathbun. An immense
amount OF work on the part OF MIS-.
Southland was represented, as many
of the translations were her own as
we're the adaptations for the singers
and Instruments.
The guests were received by MI
and Mrs j. C. Ewing. DIR. and Mrs,

Windsor. Jan. 29.-Do You want
to know what kind of weather to
expect for the next six weeks?
Robert Harris, the veteran trapper
of Windsor, known for years as a
real weather prophet says: For
the next week you may expect nice
warm weather like this at present.

Mr.. Harris predicted the weather
early this fall and he says his pro
dictions came true. He bases his
prophesies on the melt" of musk

cripple now, having lost both legs
by accident. is unable to do his own

TRAINED FARMER

A year or two ago the agricul-

Why should not the state prosecute c. S. Loveland

connection with the wreckng of the State Bank of Com

ONeil? The evidence shows that these men, officers
of the state examined that bank. It's rotten condition
has been too plainly shown to permit of any supposon
other than that they knew it rotten They both of
them proceeded to borrow large of money from the
bank upon their individual notes. thus still further adding
to the bad condition of the banks finances The conclu
sion is inevitable that they used their official positions
together with their knowledge of the condition of the
banks affairs to force these loans which made

PRESS COMMENT
Let the Rich Run 1t!
lEcna EiA,r fNinanc


THE country" President Taft says,
Cannot afford to turn itself over to a
class of men who do not deserve to
figure in any more honorable light than
quacks do in the practice of medicine"
In the presidents view 1t really is
an outrage that the people of this
country are not ready to turn it oyer
to rich men to run. That is the opfn-
ion of the group with which Mr.. TAFT
associates. Men who have mad, their
scores of millions feel that 1t is absurd
that citizens who have no bank re-
sources to speak of should have their
say about the government.
If a cotton tariff schedule is to oe
revised, of course the wealthy cotton
manufacturer, Mr.. Lippitt. should do
the revising. Doesn't he know exactly
what he wants? If the country desires
currency reform it ought to shut its
eyes and take anything Mr.. Morgan
hands out. If 1t wishes to deal with
corporations it should let Mr.. Rookie
Teller draft the bill.
A few men of wealth ought to take
charge. They will make themselves
prosperous, of course. But some of the
prosperity may leak through to the
"lower classes"
And the funny thing about 1t is that
Mr.. Taft and the standpatters really
believe 1t. They really do.
