THE farmer pays his help gen
erously and, il 1t ds ascertained af-
ter CAREFUL and full inquiry that
labor on railways is underpaid, he
would consent to pay his share of
increase, or if the measures agitat-
ing the country were for the pur-

ing something for those receiving
now too little to support them
selves and families as Americans
should live, the farmers would be
counted.

THE FARMER PAYS.
Where will the money come
from to pay these increases? The
railways get money from the ship
pers. The large majority of the
shippers are the farmers. The
board having authority to raise
or lower rates gave that authority
to make increases, stating to the
country that certain roads did not
have sufficient incomes to pay
necessary expenses. If this pro-
posed reduction OF hours for a
few employees decided by congress
under pressure from the president
is sust aimed by the court, what will
follow?

How Catarrh is Contracted

p
Mothers are sometimes so, Thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
nation of the mucous membrane, st
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, disease
that is seldom cured and that may
prove a life's burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A
little forethought, a bottle of Cha,x-
pertains Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might

Beware of Initiated Bills

The craze for "initiating bills"
seems to be growing into an epidemic
and about the only cure for this dis
ease is for the people to refuse to sign
them until they have thoroly MASTER
ed every feature of the bills and then
taken them up line by line with u
reliable attorney.
The Initiated law is all right when
not abused, but 1t can be made to
work great hardship when any law
yer who fancies that he possesses
more ability than all the members Of
the state legislature, can, in the recess
of his office, write out Il bill and by
appealing thru the press to the imag-
mary grievances of transient people
and others who give it little thought,
succeed in getting initiated bill that
will destroy one OF the biggest indus
tries of the state.
Every county is ably represented
in both houses OF the state legislature,
and these representatives are suppos-
ed to enact laws favorable to the best
interests OF their constituents. No
one will question that bill on any
agricultural or live stock subject and
thoroly discussed by interested repre-
sentatives from every part of the
state, revisiOns made and weak fea-
lures eliminated, can be enacted into
much better law than bill written
out by an attorney in a back room
and rushed thru the iniation process.
Farmers and stockmen who want
laws enacted in their behalf can easily
get suitable bills In which they have
had voice In max ing introduced, and
II such bills possess merit, and those
responsible for their introduction are
sufficiently Interested, they will
doubtless be passed.
If the method Of enacting laws for
the state is safe, then it should be
practised; If unsafe, a new constitu-
ton should be Western
Farm Life.

Carlson a Gone Gosling

Under the above heading, George
w. Smith, the able editor Of the Hay
den, Routt county, Republican IRE
pubiican) comments on Governor
Carlson:
"George Carlson won n place on the
delegation from this state to the Re-
publican national convention. From
all we can CLEAN, Georges political
star is on the wane. Republican pa
pers over the state have been giving
f,iH some hot roasts. The Longmont
Call surely roasted him to crisp
brown in it's last issue. II Carlson Is
renon,ina for governor 1t will be
only after bitter fight. This being
the case 1t is a mooted question for
even his best friends to consider
whsther he should be renominated at
all. We have not been able to figure
out that Carlson is suffering from un-
popularity due to,his noble principles.
but because he is too small for the
place he is trying to fill. and like
small people his head has swelled
into undue proportions trying to fill
the place. Carlson apparently had
the Weld county delegation back of
him at the state convention, but in
reality, we are assured by those who
should know. it WAS unit against
him. He has lost out in Denver, Col
orado Springs and Boulder to a con-
siderable extent. The real extent
has not been shown but he has
slumped much more than the vote In
the convention showed and having
once been opposed those who natural
ly hold back and dislike to oppose
the leader of their party. will from
this time on fight the governor to
finish. Carlson is 'gOner' or we are
badly mistaken. The same pig-head-
ed way of dealing with northwestern
Colorado has been shown all over the
state, 80 that dozens of the best men
in the party only wish to get whack
at Carlson and send him back among
the 'hasbeens'."

Smashing an Industry
A Denver paper says :

"A Denver paper says:
The herd law bill which Is now be-
ing circulated in petitions to initiate.
is intended to put the range st0ckmen
out of busines and is we'll calculated
to produce that result. 1t will affect
cattle, sheep and horses. Last year
these classes of live stock were as
sessed for 40, 900, 600 90 In round num-
bers. On most conservative esti-
mate. the passage of this bill will cut
| this number In half, which will mean
that from thirty to forty million dol
lars now being assessed against live
stock will have to be placed upon
other property which is sure to in
crease the taxes. On the other hand,
what is to be gained by the passage
Of such law? There is already on
the statute books ample law to pro-
tect every farmer from trespassing
livestock upon his cultivated lands.
This law is seldom appealed to for
the reason that the farmers prefer to
get along in peace with each other.
The proposed bill is based upon the
|
idea that there is class hatred be-
tween those farmers who own cattle
and those who do not. AS a matter
of fact, there is no such feeling exist
ing today, but this law is we'll calcu
lated to produce it, The bill is essen-
TALLY vicious in all of its features and
no similar law can he found upon the
statute books of any other state.
Heretofore it has been the policy Of
this state to pass laws that will en-
courage the production of live stock.
This is the first serious attempt in
the other direction. The proposed bill
will certainly put burden upon the
stock farmer which cannot fail to dis
courage the growing Of live stock.

Up to the "Dig-Up" Point

Evidence is fast accumulating that
the Denver Post bunch Is ready to
throw the herd law scheme into the
discard if the cattle and farm inter-
ests OF the state will call at the 'red
:oom" and discuss the matter.
Blackmail was the motive back OF
the scheme from the start. II the
stock and farm interests of the state
pay the Bon-Tam outfit one penny
they will forfeit the good will OF nine
ty-nine out of every hundred people
in Colorado.
The state press is practically a unit
in opposition to the proposed herd
law.
Fight the rascals to Il finish as Bob
Speer did.

Decoration Day

The day was delightful-a little
wind and dust. but a very pleasant
day.
The procession was lead by the
Woodmen in uniform. These were
followed by the school children under
Professor Garrison. Next came the
drum corps, and then the members Of
the Grand Army, followed by a long
line of automobiles and teams. The
Woodmen surpassed everybody with
u lavish supply of cut flowers. There
we're few graves not remembered with
floral offerings. Cordial attention was
given the grave of an ex-Confederate
Colonel.
The program was carried out at the
hall in the afternoon. The chorus
under Mr.. Rigby, rendered a number
Of patriotic selections in a very hap
py way. Master James Garrison WAS
"just too cute for anything" in his
recitation of playing soldier. The
drill by class of bright little girls
under direction of Mrs. Garrison was
especially good, with their red, white
and blue parasOls. Professor Garri-
son, rendered Lincoln's Gettysburg
address in forceful and pathetic
manner; Rev. BID. McKOwen offered
an earnest, fervent prayer; Adjutant
Watson read general orders. Rev.
Philip Nelson gave a strong address
on "Preparedness" and was frequent
ly cheered during its delivery. DIR.
DsMotte closed the program by gath
ering up some crumbs for people to
take home and digest at their leisure.
Altogether the day WAS observed In
an eminently fitting manner. Dem.
