he Democratic and the Republican

the Democratic and the Republican
parts is fundamental. not merely
a matter OF adapting policies and leg
islation 10 temporary conditions. The
Republican party believes that the
farmers, wage and producers
generally OF ouT country should be
protected against the products OF all
other countries. The Democrats be-
lieve that the products OF other
countries. except Injuries for the rich
should be admitted TO our country
free OF tariff duties: and that no tar
iu duty should be levied on any i'm
portations for any other purpose than
to raise revenue for the government.
This difference Is simple but en-
tremely important. Our country is
the home OF well paid, skiilful. in
telligent laborers: the home OF indie
pendent and patriotic farmers: the
home of mechanics and wage m
who are not merely subsisting on low
wages for long hours OF hard work
but are living well and form a very
respectable element OF American
society. The prosperous M happy
conditions under which American
wage earners and farmers live In due
to the fact that our government. un-
der Republican rule. has prevented
competition between the products OF
cheap labor abroad and the products
OF we'll paid labor at home.
There may be inequalities in our
tariff laws. they may. In some in
stances. give undue advantage to
special interests: they undoubtedly
need frequent revision TO, avoid in
Justice or oppression. The Republi-
"a party proposes a permanent
board TO study tariff rates and ac-
quaint the congress with all facts
concerning defects or faults In the
tariff system, 40 that u National
legislature may AZ all times act in
diligently In amending tariff laws.
The Democratic party proposes the
ultimate destruction OF the tariff

by Logan Waller Page, Director,

be awarded as soon thereafter as
the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based
on knowledge gained from books
or other sources, but no quota
tions should be made.
| After many years experience
in dealing with the public road
situation Of the country, it is Mr..
Pages belief that ignorance on
the subject Of repair and main-
tenance of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as
any other one factor. It is ex-
pected that the competition will
bring about better understands
ing of the subject Of repair and
maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.-
Many children living in the
rural districts have experienced
the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through lack Of
proper maintenance and it is ex-
pected that their interest in the
competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents.
Bad roads have prevented doc
tors from reaching the side of
rural patients in time to save
their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned, attending a country
school,. may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be writ
ten on; each page should be NUM-
bered; the name, age and adj
dress of the writer, and thename
and location of the school which
he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top Of the
first page. The announcement
of the competition has been sent
to the superintendents of schools
in the rural districts. No fur
ther information can be obtained
from the Office of Public sRCads.
This announcement shoun be
plain to everone, and ali chill
dren will thus start on the same
basis of equality.

PREPARATION OF LAND
FOR FLAX

The large acreage OF land put into
fax in 1912 has stimulated the Colo
RADIO Flax Development Bureau 70 In
vestigate the conditions under which
flax can be most successfully grown
under plains. conditions. This inves-
tipation has been carried on under the
supervision OF the Agricultural Col
lege
The investigation up to the present
time has shown the necessity OF
thorough preparation of the seed bed
for the success of the crop. On old
lands, or lands that have been under
cultivation for some time, the crop
has been q success wherever the early
preparation was such rs to prevent
the growth OF weeds and 1t has been
q failure wherever weeds have been
allowed to grow. EARLY, deep plow-
ing with deep tillage machine has
successfully stopped the growth OF
weeds and has made conditions fa-
vorable for the growth OF the flax
crop. Where the deep tillage ma
chine has been used, it is usually nee
essary to prerare the land early in
the season in order to get sufficient
settling to make a good seed bed for
the crop.
To make long story short, flax is
proving q successful crop on lnnd free
from weeds, whether this land Is free
because it has been kept clean o long
time or because it is new, or whether
the weed seed is buried so deeply
it connot come out during the season.

of these methods. the flax crop Is
likely to be successful. On clean nlnnd

During the discussion on the
sugar tariff many interesting
facts were developed. 1t was
shown that the sugar tariff costs
the American consumer $125,-
600, 900 a year and thai Of this
sum $52. 600, 900, went to the
GOVERNMENT and $73, 900, 600 to
the Sugar Trust. Hardwick' OF
Georgia, Chairman of the Con-
pressional Committee which IN
vestigated the Sugar Trust, de-
clared that some of the beet sugar
companies earned as high as 81
per cent per annum on the capl-
tai invested and cited cases where
factories were paid for with the
profits of one campaign. Some
of the defenders Of the sugar
tariff made a feeble attempt to
show that the Trust favored the
removal Of the tariff but this
claim was riddfed by the free
sugar men, who produced the
sworn testimony Of Chester S.
Morey. President of the Great
Western Sugar Company. to
prove tnat the Sugar Trust had
Controlled the beet sugar factor

states since 1902.

WHERE ROADOVERSEERS
4 FAIL IN THE CONSTRUC-
TON OF ROADS.

1t has been said that good road
consists OF a tight roof and dry
cellar, and this is true in every par
ticular. ~
No road can be lasting that absorbs
water at any appreciable extent. No
road can be lasting that has q subsoil
sufficiently wet to keep the earth
moist and spongy; these roads will
always be rough and rutty, and no
amount OF surface work can remedy
the existing condition.
When new earth is placed on the
road and is subject to the action OF
hoof and wheel, together with occas-
ional rains, the grinding action OF
the wheel and the pounding action of
hoofs compact the earth, break up its
texture, it becomes puddled and then
drying forms hard dense material
practically impervious to moisture,
and If the surface of the road is Civ
en- the correct shape, the water falling
from the clouds will drain to the side
and away from the road rather than
be absorbed by it. In this way an
earth road can be made with tight
roof.
If fwater. exists in the subsoil and
the water table is sufficiently close to
the surface to cause the earth to be
continually damp, there is only one
remedy and that is to drain this land
in such a way as to drop the water
table sufficiently below the surface
that the surface becomes dry and also
the ground for some distance below.
BY this means we get dry cellar.
In Colorado we will not be troubled
much with wet soil us indicated above
only in places OF small extent will
drainage be nessessary.
Our road supervisors are familiar
with the proper construction of the
surface of q road, this is, they give
the new road the proper crown, This
crown will force the water into the
side bitches as they are called. It
runs down these bitches until 1t is de-
livered into some draw formed by
the natural drainage of the country
and passes away from the road.
Here is where more mistakes are
made than anywhere else inroad con-
struction. Whenever there occurs
bad piece Of road, nine chances out
of ten, it is because of the fact that
the side drainage or the water in the
side bitches is not taken care of prop
erly. 1t Ii, allowed to run down these
side bitches parallel to the road un-
til it comes to low spot there
it collects Until the whole road sus
face is flooded and we have a mud
hole formed that prevents heavy
loads from being hauled over the
road. The remedy for this is OF
course obvious, and as much care
should be taken in the survey of the
side bitches and precautions taken to
relieve them Of water MS in giving
ROAD the proper crown. 81
Z We must not forget that this water
must be taken away from the road
and never allowed to collect in ponds
ut the side Of the same.

From Colorado.

The tariff bill as adopted. by the
Democratic majority Of the House
Of Representatives and approved
by the President is now before
the country. It is unique for two
reasons: Itsis thesfirst tariff bill
which has been made an admin
istration measure by the. leader
of his party, the President of the
United States; and no other tar
if bill has ever received such
careful consideration. The Dem
ocratic membersof the Ways and
Means Committee have devoted
two years to a study of the sched-
ules and for two weeks the full
Democratic membership Of the
House and the President have
scrutinized every one of the 42OO
items. Now it is before the
House for extended discussion.
The party is prepared to stand or
fall by this piece of legislation,
and the Senator who attempts to
block it or emasculate twill find
himself outside of the party fold.
In my judgment it will be placed
on the statute hooks practically
as it goes through the House.
This means that the tariff on
sugar will be reduced 25 per cent
at once and will be placed on the
free list in three years; and that
raw wool will be placed on the
free list at once. Thus Wilson
and Bryan will carry what has
been described by the newspapers
as THE Bloody Angle of the
tariff battle, the sugar and WOOL
en- schedules. The trusts which
have been built up on these schde-
ules have defied Presidents and
public sentiment for quarter OF
q century but they are tottering
to their fall.
1 voted for free sugar and free
wool in fullfillment of the rlat-
form pledges which made last
fall, Congressman Kindel sup
ported me on both propositions;
Congressman Taylor and Seldom
ridge opposed free. sugar but the
wool schedule Seldomridge voted
with Kindel and I, and Taylor
was absent.
