WON'T TELL THE TRUTH
Democratic Papers Suppressing the
Facts About State Finances TO
Hide Their Party's Rotten
Record

Several of the democratic papers
are making all the noise they can over
the increase of about one-fifth of one
mill in state levy this year, and refuse
to mention that the valuations fixed
by the democratic state tax commits
sion were enough lower so that only
about the same money will be raised.
They also refuse to mention that the
republican assembly and governor held
down the appropriations so that this
same amount of money as raised last
year will pay every appropriation
made for the first time. in six years;
also it will pay the deficit of $780,
900 left by the last democratic ad
ministration and leave a safe surplus
in the treasury. The S2,300,O00 def
icit left by the two Shafroth admins
trations-money spent to pay his SEN
atorial campaign expenses-will of
course have to be paid some other
way. When the people put a dema-
gogue and CRATER like ''honest john"
in the governors chair they have TO
pay the piper. Governor Ammons
was honest and his administration left
the smallest deficit of any democratic
administration in the states history.
If he could have had the cooperation
of the other democratic state officials
it is possible he might have paid out
in full. However, it is noticeable that
he never received even favorable mem
ton for a denomination. All of which
shows just how much the democratic
party cares for economy whom tried
outside their platforms.

Free Sugar Folly Should BE Repealed

Congressman Richard w. Austin OF
Tennessee-"Congress should lose no
time in repeating the free sugar folly.
The European war has saved and
kept alive our sugar industry from
the first cut Of % per cent in the
tariff duty and the anticipation Of
the total abolition of the duty. Ger
many stands first and Austria third in
the list of sugar producing countries.
Prior to the war twelve sugar beet
factories closed down on account Of the
action of congress, and the Louisiana
sugar farmers were seeking, if pos
sible. the substitution of another less
profitable crop. In Honolulu L learn
ed of the sale of a large local sugar
company and plantation to a party oil
Japanese. The explanation was that
the owners knew that after the close
Of the war in Europe and the placing
of sugar on the free list on May !,
1916. TO compete with the Cuban sug-
ar planters means bankruptcy. This
is but the forerunner of what will
happen to this splendid American in
dustry unless congress repeals the free
sugar law. II free sugar permanently
remains, the industry in our insular
possessions will fall into the hands of
aliens, our deserving people will be
crowded out, and our local or export
trade to Porto Rico, the Hawaiian and
Philippine Islands will be done by our
foreign competitors. The American
people have certainly paid a fearful
penalty for the folly of electing
free-trade theorist to the presidency,
along with a subservient congress ever
ready to do his bidding"

Ship Purchase Bill Dangerous

Congressman Charles F. Curry Of
California, discussing the ship pur-
chase bill-"I am opposed to this bill
1t is inexpedient, untimely, unneces-
sary, dangerous and contrary to the
fundamental principles of our gov
ernment. The only action needed to
rehabilitate the American merchant
marine is to defeat this measure, re-
enact the marine laws that were on
our statute books prior 10 1915, pro-
viding for preferential duties on goods
carried in American bottoms, and
change our commercial treaties with
a number of foreign nations, which
we can do by giving a years notice,
or pay subsidy where and when nee
essary and give the preference to
our own ships in carrying the mails,
as other maritime nations do. The
business of government is to govern,
and not primarily to engage in pri
vate business enterprises that brings
it into competition with its own citi-
zens. The engaging of the govern
ment in private business is JUS
tifiable and right when the enterprise
can be better conducted by the gov
ernment for the benefit of all of its
citizens than it can be conducted by
private enterprise, and in conditions
of emergency. The entering Of the
government into the shipping business
at this time can not be justified on
either hypothesis, and during the
continuance of the European war it
will endanger the peace of our coun-
try"

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-The
democratic administration is ap-
proaching a very awkward situation.
There are on the docket of the
United States supreme court the So
called five per cent rebate cases. They
involve a tremendous sum in customs
revenues. loosely estimated at between
fifteen and twenty million dollars, col
lected under the provisions of the
underwood tariff law. On the courts
decision hangs the fate of these mil
lions.
II the supreme court upholds the
five per cent rebate provision in the
Underwood law, then the sum in dis
pute belongs to the foreign importers
and must be paid back by the gov
eminent. The treasury deficit long
AGO became alarming. II this enor-
nous additional sum has to be paid

cycle races were not so much a sue
cess as they might have been, the boys
have decided to hold another race next

some repairs for his Excelsior in time
for the races last Sunday. Hart and
Sewers both had motor troubles which
delayed the starting of the race. All
three machines will be in apple pie

gram, which is to be free to the public

The Rocky Ford papers last week
gave every excuse they could think Of
for the defeat of their football team
except the right one. One laid it on
the umpiring, one said it was over
confidence, and the other said the
captain had pain-if he didn't at the
start, he sure had one at the finish.
so we won't object to that. However
just in the interest of truth-not that
we care otherwise at all-so 'ong rs
SO much has been said we will pub
lish the unvarnished truth. The Rock
Ford team was composed of all home
raised boys, and when they came to
Lamar and had a few hours to look
around, they relied what chumps
their parents had been to locate at
Rocky Ford when there was = good
town like Lamar in the same valley
then they became disgusted and lost
heart. That is the whole story, ex-
cept that the Lamar boys played
rings around them.

ure of the democratic fiscal policy.
On the other hand, if the supreme
court decides that the five per cent
provision of the Underwood law is
invalid, the highest court in the land
will have convicted the democratic
congress of a humiliating blunder and
still further emphasize its record of
Legislative inefficiency.
The fact that the attorney general
in order to save the revenue involved,
is attacking the validity Of the law
congress worked six months to pass,
makes the situation still more COM
plicated.
From a political standpoint, the
best thing that could happen to the
democratic party in this case would
be to have a decision go over until
after election.
Whether or not this happens de-
pends largely upon the time the case
is heard. 1t is up to the government
to take the first step to advance the
date of hearing. Litigants on the
other side of the case have complain
ed bitterly over what they term un-
reasonable delay, and for weeks have
been urging the government to move
more quickly.
Meanwhile, regardless of when the
hearing may be held, democratic lead
ers are wondering what can be done
to offset the attack that will be made
on their fiscal policy on the one hand
and their legislative efficiency on the
other.

Word was received at Las Animas

Of the Bent County Democrat, had
been appointed postmaster at Las An

the latter's term expires. Mr.. Murphy
is the pioneer newspaper man Of the

is also an old timer in the businG IS.
Both are splendid men and count the
whole fraternity of the valley as their
friends. That Mr.. Murphy has made
good is well shown by the fast that
even at this late time in the admin
istration he is permitted to hold out
his full term. He could not expect

FOOTBALL BY AN EXPERT
An Elucidating Description of Some
of the Fine Points of the Game
With Jack Lacy on the Job

The La Junta Tribune says, there
been initiated into the mysteries and
fine points of the game of football,
and there are also a few of US who
never want to be. A write up of the
game as it really is-to the uninitiat-
ed-and which was especially apprc-
ciated by yours truly, appeared in a
recent issue of the Rocky Ford Ga
zette. 1t hits the nail on the head,
so far as football is concerned, and
expresses the feelings that permeate
our sporting bosom-as a disinterest-
ed spectator:
"As for football, we are free to con-
fess alphabetically speaking, the rud-
iments, elements and accidents Of
the game have been given little real
study since we "left college"
"Yes, we attended college-once-
at Boulder, where we went to collect
a laundry bill for our brother-in-law'
wife's aunt, and that is when we lost
our interest in the football game bus

hog and hominy fed fellows who were
running their fitness for farmers by
studying how to make a living with
out work, were out on the commons

kerbockers, knee pads on their noses,
would stand in two rows by the hour
! listening to one gink recite his arith-
metic lesson both ways, and it sound
ed like this: one, thirty-seven, nine

when he came to twenty-three they
all got sore and one guy threw the
ball away and it hit big boob ir
the stomach and he fell down while
the balance of the bunch piled on top
and then the policeman came along
blew a whistle and they began to
unpack themselves to find the guy at
the bottom so they could turn him
over to the students in the slaughter
house department so they could work
him over in time for the next game.

of the big bumps tried to kick the
seeds out Of the horse hide watermel-
on, when another gink caught it and
started to run home with the ball and
everybody started after him and we
Joined the chase and grabbed him,
when the rest of the bunch piled on
top Of US, and that is about all we
recollect except that when we began
to remember things we found our
selves in bed with bandages on all
parts Of our anatomy, and we heard
some one say it's all over, and we
guess it must have been.
