1t rains alike on the Just and un-
just, the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis, as the La Plata county candi-
dates who went out campaigning the
last Of this week can testify. The
Republicans were out In the Kline,
Redmesa and Fort Lewis mesa and
narrowly escaped changing cars and
walking In order to get home. Tho DEM

and come home Ia livery rig.
The drafters Of the half mill levy
bill for good roads were careful to
designate that all money raised must
be spent in the respective county In

state will be taken care Of, and none
will be slighted. In counties whsrs
the funds collected are not sufficient
to do the necessary work, money out
of the internal improveemnt fund, the
state tax on automobiles and from
other sources will be used In eomplst-
| ing the work.
