No. Need to Fear Meat

ANO W O~e s'~Oe"e
 According to the specialists of the Department of Agriculture people even in States quarantin- ed for the foot-and-mouth dis ease need have no fear of eating meat, provided they cook it thor oughly. The foot-and-mouth disease is not easily communicat- ed to human beings through food although milk from a diseased COW might transmit the disease to a human being. In the case of milk, however, pasteurization will render it entirely safe. Hu- man beings who do get the dis ease commonly get it from direct contact with sick animal It is wisest, therefore, for people to keep away from all animals having the disease unless they are properly provided with rub Der gloves, coats, and boots, and these are thoroughly ,disinfected after each visit to the animals.
 In the case of meat, as in the case of milk, it must be remem- bered that all herds which ac- tually show the disease are quar- antined, and neither milk nor meat from the sick animals can be sold. Sixty per cent of the meat used in this country is pro- duced in the nearly 900 federally inspected slaughtering and pack ing establishments located in 24O cities. In these establishments no animal is slaughtered until it has passed an ante-mortem in- spection by a veterinarian at time of slaughter. After slaugh- ter its meat can not leave the es- tablishment until it has been carefully examined and stamped 'U. s. Inspected and Passed" '" In all these establishments no animal showing any symptoms whatever of foot-and-mouth disease is allowed to go to slaughter. and no meat which. on port-mortem inspection, sh ows any suspicious symptoms of this complaint can be shipped out of the establishment All meat suspected of coming from an animal suffering with this complaint is sent, under Govern ment seal, to the tanks to be ren- dered into fertilizer. The Feder- al inspection stamp on meat, therefore, means that it is en- tirely safe.
 The Federal Government, however, has no Jurisdiction over local slaughterhouses, which do not ship meat outside of the State in which it is slaughtered. If. however. meat from such an animal did escape from one of these local slaugh- terhOuses, which are purely un- der State or municipal control, all danger of it's communicating the disease to human beings would be removed when it is thoroughly cooked and sterilized. Those who are located near an infected region and wish to be absolutely certain of the safety of their meat should cook it thoroughly.
 The disease when contracted by adults is not at all a serious illness. It commonly takes the form of slight fever sores in the mouth and slight eruption on the fingers. In the case of small sickly children it may take a more serious form. especially if complicated by other illnesses.

Highway Bonds.

NO. loo, enClCloQ f1lgnWay Bonds, have the following to say about the benefit of we'll constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be inn proved:
 In planning the highway sys- em or the main market roads it will be found necessary to omit many roads the improvement of which is greatly desired by abut- ting landowners. The fact that such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is we'll planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the improvement. As rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas, and when they are i'm proved all land values tend to in- crease.
 The fact that cities and larger towns are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of de- bate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bond issues were dis tributed in this way. their pur- pose in many cases would be de- feated. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets. although a high percentage of the assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure of city taxes on country roads is a sound principle and that it is one of the best features of State aid for highways. In Massachu- setts the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total State highway fund, but not a mile of State-aid highway has been built within its limits. New York City also pays about 50 per cent of the cost of the State highway bonds. Some State laws prohibit the expendi- ture of proceeds of State high way bonds within corporate linn its of cities or towns.
 The improvement of market roads results in improved mar keting conditions, which benefit the city. Most cities are essen- tially dependent upon the sur rounding country for their pros perity and development. The development of suburban pro- perty for residence purposes is also dependent upon highway conditions, and it is becoming evi- dent yearly that whatever makes for an. increase in rural p0pulaClOn must De encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic country highways are used to an increasing extent by city residents, In fact. the cost of maintaining many country high ways has been greatly increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general ad- vance in facilities for. doing country business from town headquarters when roads are i'm proved is no inconsiderable fac tor in the commercial life of the community.

FARMERS LOAN LAW
DECLARED VALID IN ALL ESSEN
TlAL POINTS, BUT ONE.
Attorney General Farrar Declares
That Investments Must Be Made on
Direction OF State Land 3oard.

Western Ncwspnpor Union News Service.
DenverTaN levies by counties to re-
imburse the state school funds for
losses which might occur on loans OF
funds made to farmers would not be
valid, according to the opinion of At.
torney General Farrar, but he believes
that the state might impose a general
and uniform tax levy for such pur-
pose which would be legal
Attorney General Farrar has fin
ished a draft of the opinion which
contains his essential holdings.
He believes the loan law valid and
consistent with the exception Cf the
one provision making the counties re
sponsible for any losses which might
occur to the school funds from loans
and says that plan of operation can
be worked out
1T seems to me obvious that one
persCn cannot, under the constitution,
be taxed to pay the Indebtedness of
another person" he says. Such action
would not be a uniform taxation when
made by a county.
He believes the investment of school
funds by the treasurer in state bonds
and warrants to be all right and
thinks no criticism of the present or
past treasurers for such investments
can he made justly
Treasurer Leddy is reminded by the
attorney general that he is only the
custodian of the funds and that the
laws of the state as to disposal and
investment OF funds malt be the treas
urer's justification, although it is the
treasurer's privilege and duty to be
certain that the laws are safe and
valid.
The attorney general declares that
investments in state irrigation dis
trict bonds and loans OF funds to farm
ers must be made on the direction of
the State Land Board.

Great State Victory. Says Governor

Denver.-Governor Ammons issued
the following statement in regard to
the tax decision in which he charac-
tcriZes the Supreme Courts decision
as great victory for the state in tax
matters and defends the position Of
the state in the long controversy:
81 consider this the greatest victory
ir the direction of equal taxation ever
achieved in the history of the state.
Even with the valuation now sus-
tanned, there will be collected for state
purposes throughout the state approx
imately $4,000 to $4,000 less than a
year ago, and in Denver, with the in
creased valuation, there will be col
lected about $4,000 less than a year
ago.
With the large amount of new
property included in this increased
valuation, the rate of taxation is,
therefore, much less than it was in
preceding years, and If anyone suf
fors from overtaxation for state pur.
poses it will be because of unequal
valuations in the individual counties.
1T will be found upon investigation
that the rate of taxation this year for
state purposes Is lower, valuations
considered, than for any other year in
the last quarter of century, If not
the entire history Of the state"

MAYOR HARRIS
HAS A SAY
Says laundering Autos on Main Street
Shall Stop or Offenders Be
Heavily Fined.

Mayor W, W. Harris phoned the edi-
tor of The Eagle today and said he
approved the stand OF The Eagle on
laundering automobiles on Main
street He also added with emphasis
that it had to be stopped.
Mayor Harris says it is not neces-
sary for automobiles to have their ex.
hausts open as they traverse Main
street, and that the unreasonable and
unnecessary noise thus created con-
sututes nuisance and as such can be
abated under the city ordinances and
the offenders fined
Mayor Harris has been at home i'll
for some time, but says before his i'll
ness he was racked and worried by
the ''thunderers" and instructed the
city peace officers to arrest all offend.
ers. He has now repeated his instruc.
tons and says if they are not carried
out, he will himself arrest the Of
tenders, file the charges and fine them
TO the last limit of the law. Not only
that, but all persons who are not dis
posed TO consider the rights of others.
and who will not run their cars on
Main street in reasonable manner,
will be denied automobile privileges
on the street.
He wants all automobile owners to
use the street and get all the pleasure
out of it possible, but they must use
it in a reasonable way, both as to
speed regulations and all unnecessary
noise. He calls on the people to co.
operate with him in the observance
of all traffic ordinances so there will
be no ground for complaint from any
source.

old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Hudspeth,
had close call for his life last night
when he secured a bottle of carbolic
acid from the top shelf of cupboard
and measured himself out dose as
he had seen his mother do with other
medicine. Fortunately, because of its
bad taste, he only swallowed small
amount of it, and to that fact is per-
haps due his escape. Shortly after
taking it he was seized with convul-
sions, physician was hastily sum-
moned. and the proper remedies given.
The little fellow is all right today with
