HALF MILL LEVY
Is Generally Favored for Raising
Good Roads Fund

Denver. Colo, Sept. 29.-At a
meeting held here this week between
members of both the Colorado Good
Roads Association and the County
Commissioners Association OF the
state. plans were agreed upon in or
der that the half-mill levy bill for
good roads purposes to be voted up
on by the people OF the state this
fall may be thoroughly understood
by them
This measure. proposed by the as
sociation named above- is designed
to increase the state road fund by
an annual levy of one-half mill. That
it is necessary to increase the road
fund il Colorado is 10 go ahead with
this most important work is recog-
nized by all. There has been. how
ever. much argument as to whether
the fund should be increased by the
method OF by bond issue.
The half mill levy is favored by a
majority OF the counties OF the state.
In opposition to the bond issue is
pointed the fact that at this time
many counties have bond issues which
have been hanging over the taN-pay-
ers for a score OF years or more. In
some counties taxpayers owing TO
the fact that no provisions were
made to pay the bond when II ieii
due, have been obliged to issue re-
funding bonds to take care OF old
debts.
No such a contingency will ever be
faced il the half mill levy is voted.
This levy in the entire state will
raise about $600,O00 and since it IS
raised by direct taxation there will
be no floating debts bearing heavy
interest to- be taken care OF in the
future. The work will be paid for
each year.

FOUND NOT GUILTY
0iysson Bros. Swink Saloon Men,
Victorious In Court

In the county court at La Junta last
Thursday evening the jury in the case
of Glysson Bros, the Swink saloon
keepers, found the defendants not
guilty upon the charge of selling liquor
to minors.
A similar case brought by the Otero
Law and Order league was set for trial
on Friday morning, but because of the
absence of the leading witness for the
prosecution this second case against
Glysson Bros. was dismissed.
The prosecution also had several more
charges against Fox & Jones, but these
were merged into one case and upon re-
quest of the prosecution last Friday
this case was continued until the next
term of court, which will be some time
! In December.

TANNING RECITAL
Best Attraction That Has Visited This
City for Many a Day

The music-lovers of Rocky Ford and
surrounding towns were out in full force
on Tuesday evening to the Cecil Fan
ming recital in the Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Tanning has voice of unusual
sweetness and strength which charms
the hearer at once and it was plai to
be seen that the large audience was
appreciative by the generous applause
given his singing.
In the German songs the singer show
ed to good advantage the wide range of
his voice, but to many the Scotch bal
lad Edward was simply enthralling.
There is no need to go over the pro
gram, for each number was of the high
est order of excellence, and Rocky Ford
people should indeed feel grateful to
Mrs Steele for giving them the oppor-
tunity of hearing this finished singer.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Three Year Old Oirl Passes Almost
Unscathed Through Runaway


Since Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Wheelock are firmly convinced that
there is Divine guardian for helpless
little children, in which belief they will
be joined by all who read of the provi-
dental ending to the runaway in which
their three-year-old daughter was a
participant.
On the day mentioned Mr.. Wheelock
and his men were temporarily engaged
about the yard at his home and had
left the team, which was hitched to a
heavy beet wagon, securely tied as
they believed so that no injury could
come to the little girl left playing in
the beet bed. But the fancied security
was suddenly turned to horror as the
team, evidently frightened by some
thing, snapped their tie straps, turned
short around in the yard and eluding
the efforts of the men to stop them
made wild dash down the road until
they collided with post with such
force that one of the animals was
thrown to the ground and the heavy
wagon completely wrecked.
A moment later the distracted par
| ents reached the scene and their JOY
may be imagined when they found that
their little daughter had been thrown
clear of the wreck and tho some.
what cut and bruised appeared to have
escaped serious injury. To make GER
tain of this physician was summoned
and after careful examination he ex'
pressed the belief that the little one
had not suffered internal injury. and il
few days he thot she would bs
| none the worse for her wild and thrill
| ing ride.

ARE IN QUANDARY
Commissioners Fail to See How Bx-
ira $4,000. 900 Can BE Raised

F. NJ. Harsin of the board of county
commissioners left on Monday for Dem
yer, where the board was called to con-
fer with the State tax commission re-
garding the proposed assessment of an
extra 50, 900, 900 in Otero county.
Before leaving home Mr.. Harsin
stated that he believed the assessors of
Otero county had been fair in their as
sessment and did not believe many cases
could be found where the assessment
had been excessive. He failed to see
where il would be possible to raise an
additional S2, 900, 900 without an assess
ment that would be unfair to everyone
and he thought that it was up to the
tax comissiou to explain how it was to
be done.
For several weeks, the commissioners
of this county have been sitting as II
board of equalization and have found in
going over the lists that the property
is assessed for all that il is worth, and
they are at loss TO know just why they
are to raise an additional 1000 900.
