this day been adopted by the bar, in
dicative of their appreciation of the
life, labors and character of the late
Hon Oliver G. Hall. late judge of the
superior court of Kennebec county,
whose death occurred on Jan. Goth last
at his residence in this city, in the
eightieth year of his age. 1t becomes

county and city, as merely excursions
out of his chosen profession. He was
able to render in these fields laudable
service; and his efforts We're appre-
ciated by his associate legislators and
by his constituents | should say,
however, that his happiest years We're
spent in the practice of his profession
and upon the bench. Judge Hall was
characterized by extreme patience, US

as a judge and seemed to be impelled
by an honest desire to do right; the
traits of his character, both as law

absolute integrity. Some one has truly
said, II believe, that he was always

ute to his memory which we all revere
than it is possible for me TO do,

There's small satisfaction or

Some tenants can manage to

FARMERS CONGRESS.

Similar methods prevail with refer
to pork, butter, cheese and other pro-
duets.
Friday morning Governor .\mmonS
addressed the Congress. The Gov
ernor gave a good common sense po-
litical talk. Among other things he
deplored the present financial condi-
tion of the state, but said we were to
be in that the courts have sustained
the assessorS in their efforts to assess
property ut its real value. He he
lieves the state will now be able to
meet it's obligation for the present bi-
annum. He said the state depart
mcnt has been re-organized and the
force cut down so as to materially lr-
duce the cost of the administration.
The Governor urged that we vote
for the utilities bill which was passed
by the last Legislature, but which has
been referred.
Easier money for the farmer and the
National Currency Bill was the sub
icct of an able address bO Gorden
Jones. Pres. q. S. National Bank, of
Denver. After eXp-aining and com
menting upon the cooperative banks
and loan societies of the old world MIR
Jones suggested that we already have
the necessary machinery in this coun-
try to carry on such work. He sug-
gested that communities OF farmers
organize to furnish security much as
they do in the old world and then car
~ on their business through the local
bank if the bank is willing to cooper
ate with them and if not then those in
terested organize bank. The thought
was why increase the machinery if
that which we have can be utiliz' d.
He said the new currency law is in
line with these suggestions.
V. NJ. Hoggart told of money in
which the law has been ignored which
requires that the money aceruing from
the sale and rental of State school
lands of the state he loaned ON real
estate at five per cent. This law he
says requires that the mouey he APP

portioned to the counties of the state.
Tie County Commissioners are re-
quired to loan this money on real es-
tate in the county ut five per cent.
The amount that may he loaned to
one person Is limited. The loan shall
not exceed one half the real value OF
the prOperty. In case any ofthe mon
ey is lost the county must make it
good. This law lie declares has been
on the statute books for years, but has
been ignored. He pledges himself as
Register of the State Land Board to
use every effort to bring this law into
effect.

ONE YEAR OF WILSON
This is the 52nd weekly report
l have been enabled to place be-
fore my constituents through the
courtesies of the editors of the
press Of Colorado. For a year
the party of Wilson and Bryan
has been in control of all branch
es of the National Government.
The records of that twelve
month is written-laTge on the
statute books of the Nation
where it may be known of all
men, 1t stands without parallel
in the legislative history of our
country.
For the first time in more than
fifty years the tariff has been
revised in the interests of all the
people instead of the privileged
few.
A currency law has been enact
ed which places the control of
our money system in the hands
of the people and takes it out of
the hands Of the Morgans and
the Rockefellers.
Antitrust legislation with real
teeth in it has been framed un-
der the direction of the President
and will be passed before this
session of Congress adjourns.
A rural credits system design
ed to give the farmers cheaper
money is being whipped into
shape and will soon be placed be-
fore the Senate and House where
it's success is already assured.
Dollar Diplomacy" has been
kicked out of the State Depart
ment and Uncl. Sam has declined
to be either drummer or a COL
lector for Big Business. The i'm
mediate result is that American
credit was never before so firmly
established in the capitals of the
world.
These are a few Of the big
things accomplished by the Will
son administration. That the
people approve of the policies ad-
vocated by the President and
those of US who have been priv
ileged to serve with him is am
ply proven by recent election re-
turns. While Massachusetts, To-
wa and New Jersey, continue to
roll up Democratic majorities the
"standpatter" must be content
to gnaw the barebone of dispair.

Washington Letter,

Congressrnan-at-Large
From Colorado.

III l owned Lne express cOIIl.
panies of this country, l would
gladly expend fifty million dol
lars in order to secure the adop-
ton of the amendment to the
parcel-post law which is now
pending in the Senate.
This t. r,ling statement was
made on the floor of the House a
few days ago by Congressman
David Lewis, of Maryland. the
father Of the parcel post" 1t
was all the more startling be-
cause it was uttered by ''Davy'
Lewis-as his colleagues lovingly
call him-whose views are al
ways couched in the most con-
sentative language, and who
seems to have a constitutional
antipathy for anything sueges-
tive of the sensational.
The amendment referred to by
Lewis was prepared by major
ity of the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads and
attached as a rider to the Post
Office Appropriation Bill. 1t
strips the Postmaster General OF
the power he now exercises to
change parcel post rates, zones
and regulations, and provides
that the existing rates and regu-
lations shall continue in force un-
til Congress authorizes change.
'There is something fiendishly
unfair about this attempt to
shackle this young giant who is
willing and ready to render a
great public service, said Lew
is.
He pointed out that Congress
with it's more than five hundred
members could not assumed the
responsibility for rate m: king.
That was a task which should be
assigned to the Postmaster Gen.
eral and the Interstate Commerce
Commission and their corps OF
expert assistants,
WOULD DESTROY SYSTEM.
with the Postmaster Gener-
ais hands tied and the express
companies left free to make such
changes in their rates as they
see fl, the latter can destroy the
parcel post" Lewis predicted.
Then he hurled his most effective
bomb into the camp of those who
have been attacking The Post
master General and attempting
to discredit the operations Of the
parcel post.
He pointed out that under
existing law we were limited to
a three hundred mile" parcel
post, and called attention to the
bitter criticisms leveled at the
Postmaster General because the
parcel post rates beyond the
three hundred mile limit were
higher than the express rates.
'The reason for that, said
he," Is that the railroads haul
express packages for one-half
what they charge the Govern
ment for hauling parcel post
packages.
up to the three hundred mile
limit, the parcel post rate is low
er than the express rates, and
the Government is doing rracti-
cally all of the business within
that limit. If we attempted to
compete with the express con1pa-
MES beyond that limit we would
bankrupt the Treasury.
Lewis proceeded to point out
the remedy; Enact a law COM
pelling the railroads to haul par

Gel post packages aC the same
rate they now charge for express
packages. That will give US q
nation wide parcel post, will re.
suit in an immediate cut of thirty.
three per cent in express rates
and save millions annually to the
people,"
Incidentally, as Lewis pointed
ont, it would put the express
companies permanently out of
business.
SENATOR OWENS AMEND
MENT.
Lewis speech tore the mask
from the faces of those who have
been playing the express COM
pany's game by attacking the
Postmaster General and pro-
claiming the parcel post failure,
because beyond the three hum
dred mile zone, the parcel post
rates were higher than the ex-
press rates.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma
promptly introduced an amend
ment to the Post Office Appro-
patton Bill compelling the rail-
roads to make the same rates for
parcel post as for express pack
ages. and the true friends of the
parcel post prepared to defeat
the infamous rider which was
destined to tie the postmaster
Generals hands.
OF course, the express comp
anies will fight to the last ditch.
1t is not to be expected that
they will cheerfully acquiesce in
the signing of their own death
warrant. Their advocates will
presistently endeavor to throw
dust in the eyes of the public in
the hope that they may thereby
the maxim issue.
As an example, Senator Bris-
tow of Kansas devoted two days
to a discussion of the Postmaster
Generals action in enlarging the
first parcel post zone from fifty
to one hutdred and fifty miles.
This was most heinous offense.

and therefor he insisted on the
Immediate adoption of the ex-
press company's rider"
He pointed out that it cost as
much to send a parcel post pack
age from Denver to Glenwood
Springs as from Glenwood
Springs to Newcastle.

that!" he shouted. A Senator

Department for a number of
years had been carrying a letter

refused to be satisfied
with anything less than the
hearts blood Of the Pc tmaster
General.
Of course, no one will pretend
that there are no imperfections
in the existing parcel post sys-
tenn. 1t is only a little over a
year old and while the men who
are managing it for the Govern
ment are earnest and capable
they have undoubtedly made
some mistakes. But those mis-
takes are comparative unimpor-
tant and are being remedied as
as discovered.
