Oppose Free Sugar

The Lamar Commercial Club As
ISOLATION is having circulated this
week petitions to the Committee on
Finance of the United States senate
asking that no reduction be- made
III the tariff on sugar and seeking
to prevent the passage of the tar
iff bill. relating to sugar, recently
passed by the house of representa-
tives. These petitions are being
signed by the business man, the
farmer and the laborer. All realize
the great wrong that will be
brought upon the beet sugar indus
try should the Underwood bill be-
come law and every honest eff
fort is being made to prevent its
passage.
The Commercial Club, severals
months ago. passed strong resOlu-
tions protesting against the pass
age of the bill when up for consid-
alton in the House. In fact the
club was the first organization of
its kind in Colorado to take up the
fight for the beet sugar industry.
Since that time practically every
commercial club in the state has
gone on record as being strongly
opposed to the lowering of the tar
iff. not alone affecting the sugar
industry but the other Colorado in
dustries tina I would suffer from
the proposed changes in the tar
club is not based on any political
reasons but arises from purely
business aspect

New Road South

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Lamar Commercial Club has
been postponed from April LIST to
April 9Th. This decision was
reached by President L. NJ. Mark
ham after he had taken the matter
up with the board of directors. The
matter of the construction of a bet
ter road from Lamar south will be
brought up for consideration at the
coming meeting. This road ques-
ton has been up for consideration
at many previous meetings but not
until the past few weeks has the
necessity for the construction OF
"a permanent road been SO pro-
nounced. The business man is be-
coming awake to the absolute ne
cessity of better road to the
south. This road must be put in
the best possible shape or else La
mar stands to lose the control OF
the business originating In the vast
territory to the south. both in Prov
ers and Baca counties. A commit
tee of the business men are plan
ming to go over this road for q
distance of five or six miles south
of Lamar between now and the tim
for holding the next meeting OF
the club. This committee will have
formulated some plan OF action to
present to the club for it's consider
alton and thus expedite the work
Of building this road.
Some of the business men. who
realize the vast amount of trade
that is coming to Lamar over this
road. have suggested that the pres
ent road be entirely abandoned up
Willow Springs arroyo and that a
new road be laid out and built,
either by extending Main street
south ward and crossing the Willow
Springs arroyo in what is known as
Doughty's pasture, or extend the
road southwark by what is locally
known as the Goodale place. The
idea being in either proposal to use
the higher ground in getting
through the territory Immediately
adjacent to Lamar.
1t is hoped that there will be a
full attendance Of all the business
men and members of the club at
this meeting.

Once We knew man who sid be
had a FIRE signal card. Every time tbe
FIRE signal would blow he would try to
find that card. One day he found it
but it wasn't FIRE signal card at all.
1t was one Of Dahnke's Cafe advertising
cards with the price Of ice cream per
gallon on it. Those kind Of things are
very disappointing.
At a recent fire il was found that the
distance of the nearest fire plug, OF the
shortness Of the hose, made it impossi-
bic to quench the flames, SO the build

was north wind blowing, stable south
OF the burning area began to smoke

Oh, Yes Mr.. Jim Perkins,
Oh, You Martini

A recent visitor to Martin says that
ii is one OF the best paved little towns
ever visited. On leaving Union City
everything was snow and mud, On
reaching Martin everything was clean
and we'll paved. Several citizens were
up before the mayor for not cleaning
the snow off their payements, however
Now just suppose Union City people
were arrested for that crime.
