FOR GOOD ROADS
Colorado Voters Should Vote Fa-
vorably Upon Half Mill
Levy

Colorado citizens at the coming
election will be asked to vote upon
the question of continuing the con-
tinuiug the work OF building better
roads throughout the state This
question will be submitted in the form
of bill to increase the state road
fund by an annual levay OF one-half
mill.
After January /, 1915. the state
road fund. l. e.. the fund which the
state has at its disposal to divide
among the counties as aid to them in
the construction OF state roads will
amount to less than Sl50.0O0. Di-
vided among sixty-one counties OF
the state it will be quickly recog-
nized that this amount is too little
to meet the demands for improved
roads in Colorado. The proposed
half mill levy will bring into the road
fund sum a little in excess of S600.-
600 With such fund as this every
prohibitive grade and every bad
stretch OF road in the entire 4.500
miles OF state highways can be elm
mated within three or four years.
The half mill levy asked is 4 very
small burden on the taxpayers of the
state. and according to the present
plans the money raised in each coun-
ty will be spent in that county on
its state roads. and each county in the
state will therefore benefit directly
by the money raised within its bor-
ders for this purpose.
During the past summer there
have been automobile tourists in this
state from all parts OF the union.
The auto tags OF other states have
in many places been almost as COM
mon as have the Colorado tags. These
visitors have been attracted by the
roads of this state, and during their
stay here have left hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Colorado must
build better highways and must build
roads which will connect and be of
benefit to every section OF the state
Such an Investment is the hest that
can be made at this time.
A favorable vote on this bill will
mean that Colorado will within the
next few years go forward rapidly,
and become universally recognized as
the Playground OF the World" Al
negative vote will mean that road
work in the state will be set back
at least five years.

WORK IN SENATE
Republican Candidate Ready to Be-
gin His Fight for Colorado

After short respite following his
activity in the primary Hubert Work,
who received handsome majority as
the choice for United States senator on
the Republican ticket, is now ready to
begin strenuous campaign in the in
terest of Colorado and her people.
That his personal interest in political
affairs is secondary to his interest in
the state and the welfare of her people
was never more plainly evident than
when just before leaving for Denver to
attend the Republican meeting for or
ganization in discussing his campaign
he remarked that he was ''ready to be-
gin his fight for Colorado. That's as
much as he would say, but to those
who know him best it contains volumes.
Hubert Work never says much. Be-
cause of this characteristic those who
do not know him find it difficult to un-
derstand him. But when he says any
thing it has force back of it and it al
ways counts.
. And so. when he said that he was
ready to begin his light for Colorado, 1"
it meant that he was going into the
campaign not merely for the purpose
of being elected United States senator
but that he might help redeem the
state of Colorado and use his efforts to
bring prosperity once more to the peo-
pie of this state; to aid wherever posi-
BILE in reestablishing the states credit;
to make investments in Colorado again
worth while; to protect the manufac-
tories, the Industries, the farms, the re-
sources of the state; to help recreate
those conditions which will put renew
ed life into the Industries of the state
and thereby provide means of liveli-
hood for the thousands of working peo-
pie here; to help bring about that pro-
lection which will enable the manufac-
turer and the producer to pay better
wages, and to do that work at the seat
of the national government which will
make it unnecessary for the armed in
tervention to enable factories and mines
to operate and men to work.

WHY Is IT?

Colorados state tax rate is $13O
per thousand on straight 100 per
cent valuation. Kansas tax rate is
Sl.20 per thousand on a 40 per cent
valuation, which means that Colo
RADIOS rate is almost three times
higher than that of Kansas. Kansas
has state wide prohibition and does
not have to bend herself to pay
heavy debts resulting from the sa-
loon. State wide prohibition will

AT meeting of representatives of
the various churches of the city held
early in the week it was decided to ex-
tend an. invitation to the Older Boys
Conference of the Arkansas Valley to
come to Rocky Ford this year.
This is a conference in the interest of
the boys in their teens and means much
for the upbuilding of spiritual life of
the boys as well as emphasizing the
mental and physical. Speakers of re-
pute will be furnished by the State Y.
NJ. c. A. and profitable time will be
enjoyed by all delegates.
There will in all probability be about
l25 boys here at the conference and it
is up to the church people of Rocky
Ford to keep up their name as enter
tainers and make these manly boys feel
at home. The tentative date for the
conference is Oct. 1926 and it is the
plan to give entertainment from Friday
evening until Monday morning. The
program will be made out in the near
future and published.
Three members of the executive COM
mittee have been appointed and the
committee will be completed in few
days. Inquiries may be made of Frank

The Americans Raise Price to Argen

At present it appears that the Amer
lean packers arc operating independent
ly and in competition with the English
and Argentine concerns. They are also
doing more business. as the other
plants operate only about Il third OF
the time, while the Americans pay
more for beeVes and have been selling
their products for what they can get.

American Packers have been supplying
argentine beef to their customers in

facilities they have at hand, and the

it is possible for them to force the
English and Argentine packers into an
