COMPLETE REVIEW OF
GOOD ROADS MEETING

Geo. N. Raymond returned Satur-
day evening from Pueblo where he
attended the good roads conference
Owing to the heavy rains and snow
in the mountains the attendance was
not as large as expected. However,
the interest in the meeting was so
great that even with bad weather
Alamosa had a delegation of between
40 and so, while every county in the
San Luis valley was represented, in
cluding from one to two county COM
missioners from each county. Dele
gates were also present from Huer-
fano and other counties the other side
of La Veta pass, while Canon City
and Custer county were also repre-
sented. The Alamosa and San Luis
valley delegation was in attendance
to have the ruote via La Veta pass
to Pueblo established and secure
funds for placing it in shape. To
show the road is feasible three autos
made the trip over the pass in the
rain as far as Walsenburg when the
autos had to be abandoned owing to
the deep mud. Fourteen autos had
arranged to make the trip from Ala
most but when the rain set in the
main crowd took the train. The meet
ing was intended to be one celebrat-
ing the completion Of the Rainbow
route and also getting together on
the newly organized highway, but as
the rain kept the Delta -Montrose
bunch home the southern delegates
had things mostly to themselves, the
celebration of the Rainbow route be-
ing postponed one week. The sec
ton of country west of the San Luis
valley was represented by Mr.. Ray
mond and Louie Weyman, the first
day while the second day Senator
George West was in attendance. The
two days meeting brought out the

BACHELORS WILL HAVE
TO PAY $40 A YEAR TAX \

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 20
If the tariff bill is ratified into law
in the shape approved by the tariff
conferees, bachelors will have to pay
$40 year tax on their state of single
blessedness Both the bachelors and
the married members of congress who
figures out the federal tax on the
wifeless ones today agreed that the
assessment was just.
1t comes about through the provis-
ion requiring an income tax payment
of one per cent on single mems in
comes of $4,000 or over, while per-
mitting married men to have $4,-
900 in comes before they are taxed.
Bachelors over 25 ought to be
hanged, drawn and quartered," COM
mented Congressman Donovan OF
Connecticut. "The conferees have
done well as far as they went"

In Summerville, Ga, some promin-
ent families had row. The mem
bers of the families knew things on
each other and threatened to tell. If
the scandals had been aired the rep
utations OF young girls would have
been blackened. A Summerville
preacher, by the name of Hill, heard
about the affair and went to MEM
bers of the families, in the role of
peacemaker, fixed up the row. He
made the men involved in the scan
dal pay the alleged women victims
money and made everyone sign an
agreement not to tell anything in
court should the affair ever reach
court. Some one told. 1t is against
the law for anyone to close the
mouths of witnesses, and the Rev.
Hill has been sent to jail. That's
what Lovely Character gets for
butting in.

The far-reaching and damaging
coal strike now on in the southern
and northern coal fields of Colorado
is the result of outside strike leaders.
It's only through trouble agitators
make a good living. They are en-
abled to travel in Pullman cars and
partake of dollar meals while the
poor miner shivers in cold cabins.
"Mother" Jones, according to wo-
man writer in the Denver News who
investigated her work, says she re-
ceives $500 per month the year
round. This is not so bad. Can well
afford to do her part well. The C. +.
4 |. company may not be composed
of angels, at the same time it has
been generally recognized that men
have been given fair consideration
and the company have never refused
to treat with the men, but it does
refuse to treat with the agitators
sent from the east who are known
trouble makers. It was that Anarck-
ist Haywood who brought about the
long drawn-out textile strike in New
Jersey and later in the Rhode Island
mills which resulted disastrously to
those employed.

The Family Cough Medicine.

In every home there should be a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery,
ready for immediate use when any
member of the family contracts
cold or cough. Prompt use will stop
the spread of sickness. "A. Std, of
Madison, Mich, writes: my whole
family depends upon DR.. Kings New
Discovery as the best cough and cold
medicine in the world. Two SOC bot
ties cured me of pneumonia" Thou
sands of other families have been
equally benefited and depend entire
ly upon DR.. Kings New Discovery
to cure their coughs, colds, throat
and lung troubles. Every dose helps.

Mrs. Charles Hufschmidt,

Mrs. Charles Hufschmidt, a St.
Louis bride, began on her wedding
day to keep diary. She said she
saw from the first she would have to
sue the groom for divorce, and kept
a diary to be used as evidence
against the groom. The diary stated
her husband went out evenings with
out giving her suitable excuse
(NERVE?) He threw steak she
had cooked at her head and cut up
with other women. Looks like the
groom made special effort to make
his brides diary interesting; special
effort to help his bride along with
that divorce.

Among the speakers was congress
man heating who spoke both DAYS ,,s
Well as at the banquet. Inc p,st ar
MS remarks follow:
The good roads movement i, co,
gress at the present time is u.y,...,,
INTO Two camps: First, the joyrlders.
second, the art roads statesmen. ,,,,.
first division includes the auto semi
ment and the second men whose pr,-
mary purpose is to bring the farmer
closer to the railroads. AT the pres
ent time the second division has the
majority in congress.
The good roads committee at the
present time consists of twenty-one
members of which Congressman "
d. Shackleford of Missouri is at the
head. l believe that the sentiment of
the committee at the present time ia
in favor of better local roads to the
railroad stations. l personally am
in favor of building roads under the
supervision of the state highway com
mission. The first division fayors
the national bureau of transcontin-
entail highways. This latter method
will not result for several years if
it ever does and | believe the onlv
solution is for the government to
help the state and let the state build
the roads.
"One scheme presented by Con-
gressman Warburton is for special
tax on tobacco, cigars and snuff This
he claims will raise yearly revenue
of at least S50,000,000 year. No
such bill is possible at the present
| term of congress.
II am in favor of scheme where
by the government will allow each
state to dispose of lands owned in
that state by the government. These
| lands could be sold and the money
turned over to the state highway COM
| missioners to be expended on the
roads. The sale of public domain i'll
my estimation is the most feasible
| SOlutloH VI lne pTOuleiil ~ tne pres
/ ent time. Should Colorado be allow
ed to sell 100000 acres of land
at auction at reasonable terms to the
| farmers, state highway fund of
millions of dollars could be created
within ten years. The members of
congress from the west ask for the
backing up of the people in some
scheme whereby the government may
be able to assist in building roads
| without direct taxation on the peo-
| pie. The time has come to cease the
| Capitalization of power at Washing
| ton and for the states to have more
| power in the building of their roads.
| Personally | favor the sale of public
| domain not bringing in any revenue
and allowing the state highway COM
| missioners to appropriate the funds
derived for the profit of roads,"

Refugees from Mexico are right
sassy. They say they were not be-

The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. The convention appointed
an executive committee to adopt
plans. 1t was decided by the COM
mittee to get busy at once advertis-
ing the Spanish Trail-Grand Canon
route and its scenic beauties in order
to cater to the auto tourists during
1915. 1t was decided to have draw
ing made of the route and cuts made
for different towns, both small ana
for letter heads and other stationery
and for newspaper and pamphlet
use. The committee urged all dele
gates to put on their advertising
clothes and make the road known over
the world.
Pueblo Connecting Link.
With the Spanish Trail-Grand
Canon route we'll advertised it should
become the most popular for through
travel as well as for those desiring
to spend their time in Colorado. Dur
| ing the two days conferences were
held by members of the Denver-to-
Galveston Highway association. OF
this meeting the Pueblo Chieftain
| says:
Gulf Highway Men Meet.
Two important matters developed
yesterday afternoon in the meeting
of the Colorado to the Gulf Highway
association held in conjunction with
the general good roads convention.
First, it was found that every coun-
ty through which the proposed road
will run in Colorado was willing to
join the association as well as every
county in Texas through which the
road will traverse and two counties
in New Mexico. At the present time
an effort is being made to have Dem
yer join the association and a reso-
luton asking their cooperation was
adopted at the meeting.
Second, it was determined that a
membership fee of 500 for each
county should be charged anG already
several counties have come through
with the money.
/ Victor Friar of Trinidad, vice pres
ident of the Rocky Mountain division
Of the association, presided yesterday
with Secretary A. W. Henderson of
Colorado Springs in attendance. The
purposes of the organization were
briefly outlined by President Fiar as
well as a brief report of the meet
ing recently held at Clayton, N. M.
1t is proposed to perfect road from
Colorado to Galveston from which
trade as well as traffic may be drawn
from parts of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee and Oklohama in addition
to the patronage it will receive thru
Texas, New Mexico and Colorado.
| 1t is the purpose of the organiza-
ton not only to aid in repair after
they are built. For this purpose they |
plan to log the road, place sign posts
every five miles and at every sect |
ion cross road. In addition, signs Of |
fering $50 reward for the arrest
OF any one molesting the signs will |
be posted A log book will be issued |
for all people along the line. The
signs will be metal, in red, white
and blue.
