Representative A. p. Ardourel of
Boulder county. one of the house
leaders also favors the expenditure of
state monies on good roads through
the medium of commission. The
money will be better expended through
a commission, than II divided by the
legislature. Fix the responsibility on
some central body, and you will get
better results. The larger the amount
a commission has to spend. the less
will be wasted. because the respon-

NO DECISION IN
PITCHER CASE

Assessor John T. Brown is express
ing his disappointment at the failure
OF the supreme court to hand down
its decision in the Pitcher mandamus
suit yesterday. Monday was the
regular decision day and the order
was confidently expected.
Moreover, as the court extends the
time of its consideration of the case,
Mr.. Brown is losing some of his OPP
timism about getting a favorable de-
cision. He has always considered it
out of the question for Pitcher to be
upheld, for, he declares, victory for
the Denver assessor means that after
this year the assessors of the state
will be sovereign in their own coun-
ties, and. with no board of review
to pass on their assessments, they
would naturally make their valua-
tions as low as possible to escape
their proportion of the state tax. The
result would be that the state would
be bankrupt.
however. as the court has not
been at all hurried in handing down
the ruling. Mr.. Brown is wondering
if Pitcher may not win. If he does,
1t means a revelation of all Mesa
county property and the fixing of
new levies.

ALL TRUSTS HELD
" UNREASONABLE
Secretary RedfieId Outlines His
Trust Busting Program TO
President.
Associated Press.

<hbcoeiattu ICES.
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 16.-Be-
sides disclosing plans for an extern
sive investigation into the economic
features of the trust problem. Sec
rotary Redfield of the department of
commerce in his first annual report
recommends legislation to presume
that all restraints of trade are I'M
reasonable and to place the burden
of establishing the reasonableness of
the restraint upon the person alleg-
ing it; to prohibit interlocking direc-
torates; to prohibit watering of
stocks, and to prohibit corporations
and persons from owning stocks in
or controlling competing companies.
Second only in interest to Mr.
Redfield's views on the trust question
are his plans for developing trade
of the United States abroad by re-
organization of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
The trust question, and the work
laid out for the bureau of corpora
tions, which will range from an in
vestigation of whether trusts are eff
ficient to a study of the economic
laws governing the fixing of retail
prices, bears an important relation
to President Wilson's legislative pro-
gram.

THOMAS IS CLOSE
TO THE PRESIDENT
George B. Lang viii Combat e.
forts Of Stevens TO Get the
Senator's Seat.
Sentinel Special Service.


Denver, Dec. 16.-The progressive
league which was recently organized
by friends of City Attorney Ike Stew
ems, is bitterly denounced by Clar-
ence p. Dodge, progressive state
chairman. The claim is being made
that the supporters of Stevens are at
tempting to build up a machine by
which Stevens may go to the United
States senate to succeed Thomas, who
II is known is to be candidate for
reelection. George Lang, formerly
at the head of the, Colorado Farmers
Union, and who now holds his posi-
ton in Washington as clerk of the
suffragette committee through the in
fluence of Thomas, is back in Colo
RADIO looking after Senator Thomas
interests. lie will remain in the
state several weeks. Mr. Lang states
that Thomas stands close to the pres
ident and is one of seven other United
States senators who has great influ-
ence with him.
The plan of Stevens is said to be
that he hopes to bring about fusion
with the standpatters of the republic
can party in Colorado and thus in
sure his election. LProgressives. how
ever, declare there will be no colition
this time. 1t will be a straight fight
to finish. This fight is to be led
by Dodge. who is out in statement
to this effect. Progressive leaders
! announce that fusion has no followers
in their ranks. and that the coming
campaign will be made independent
of the regulars or standpatters. This
is the declaration of the executive
committee and the attempts of Stew
ems it is claimed are made to mislead
progressives.

TO FLY AROUND PYRAMIDS


Sentinel Special Service.
Belgrade, Dec. 16.-Jules Vedrines,
the French aviator. who left Nish
yesterday on his way to Constantine
pie, said his decision to fly to Cairo
instead OF to Pekin, as he had plan
ned, was due to the appeal of the
Aero club de France to him to re-
place Dancourt for the honor OF
France when news of the mishap
to the latter aviator in Asia Minor
reached Paris. 1t was felt that
Dancourt could not continue on his

THE SANDS OF Dee
(By REV. CHARLES KINGSLEY.

(Iy REV. CHARLES kINGSLEY.)
"Oh, Mary go and call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home
And call the cattle home,
Across the sands OF Dee
The Western wind wild and dark with foam,
And all alone went she.
The Western tide crept up along the sand,
And er and DER the sand
And round and round the sand,
As far rs eye could
The rolling mist down and hid the land:
And never home came she.
"Oh! is it weed, fish, floating hair
A of golden hair,
A drowned maitlen's hair,
Above the sea?"
Was salmon yet that shone so fair
Among the stakes at Dee.
They rowed her in across the rolling foam,
The cruel, crawling foam,
The cruel, hungry foam,
To her grave beside the sea.
But still the boatnen hear her call the cattle home
Across the sands of Dee.
