Herd Law Defeat

Whatever may be the individual
opinions of the people of Colorado in
regard to the herd law, it is evident
that the large majority n the voters
resented the methods employed in get
ting it on the ballot and carrying on
the campaign. 1t was patent to all
who had lived in Colorado long enough
to be in the least acquainted with con-
ditions that the bill was initiated by
the Denver Post as means to black
mail the stockmen Of the state, and
for this reason it proved impossible
to get enough honest signatures to
initiate the law even though there
were thousands of honest settlers in
the state who really approved Of most
of its provisions For the same rea-
sons many who favored closing up the
range refused to vote for the Posts
bill even after it was initiated by
fraud. They believed that no good
could possibly come from a bill con-
ceived in such dishonor and knew
that the promoters would quit any
minute the stock industry would pay
the price. 1t is to the credit of the
stockmen that with the fate of their
great industry, representing to many
of them the savings of lifetime of
energetic work, at stake they never
weakened but stood squarely against
paying a cent of tribute 20 the Post
to the last. AS a result the Post had
all its expense for naught. However
the people must not congratulate
themselves too soon. The Post sue
ceeded in putting through its graft
bill for the loaning of the school
funds, aand elected bunch of ofIic-
ials that are at least under consider
able obligations to it. If care is not
taken the Post will recoup its losses
at the expense of the state school
fund.

Following the adoption of proposed
rules and Legislation expected to re-
lieve the situation, which will be draft
ed by the committee in conference with
the members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, the car service
rules will be prescribed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission following
the customary hearing on and inves-
tigation into the reasonableness of the
proposed rules.
Chairman Aylesworth Of the Colo
RADIO Commission had conference
with Commissioner Henry C. Hall of
the Federal Commission relative to
the misuse of refrigerator cars by
roads connecting with Colorado roads
calling his attention particularly to
specific instances of misuse within
the last two weeks, information con-
cerning which was wired to Mr.. Ayles-
worth from the Denver office as rap
idly as inspectors now investigating
the Colorado situation made their re-
ports.
A telegram from Chairman Ayles-
worth also stated that the Federal
Commission had suspended the effec-
tive date of a proposed increase in all
demurrage charges on cars used in
interstate traffic, pending a hearing on
and investigation into the reasonable
ness of the proposed increases. It is
probable that the hearing will be held
and decision rendered some time In
January. The proposed charge is 50
for the first day beyond free time,
SO for the second day, 81 for the third
day and S. per day thereafter, the
present chargess being 81 per day for
the first three days beyond free time,
SO per day for the next succeeding
three days, and s5 per day thereafter
on refrigerator cars.
Recently the Colorado Commission
increased the demurrage rate TO SO
per day on all equipment held beyond
the free time within the state Of Col

Car Service Rules

Denver, Colo, Nov. 16.-Chairman
NJ. H. Aylesworth Of the Colorado
State Public Utilities Commission has
been appointed a member Of the spec

now meeting in convention in Wash
ington, to draft proposed rules gov
erning per diem charges for use of
refrigerator and other freight cars by
foreign lines with a view Of relieving
the present national car shortage and
to prevent future shortages, according
to a telegram received at the Denver
offices of the commission late this
afternoon. Other members of the

Heard at the National Capital

Washington, Nov. 81. Especial cor
respondence Although there will be
many changes in both houses Of con-
gress and some of them very import
end and involving loss to the coun-
try, yet on both sides of the House
and Senate there have been returned
men who have had many years Of ex-
perience and whose guidance in the
future will serve well to promote the
expedition of wise Legislation. Among
the democratic members of the House
who have been returned and who will
render good service in the future, as
they have in the past, are Champ
Clark Of Missouri, and Fitzgerald Of
New York, both of them independent
of executive dictation, although loyal
to party interests. Champ Clark has
made very acceptable speaker. Rep
resentative Fitzgerald labored zeal
ously, though not very effectively, to
keep down the appropriations de-
manded by the presidents cabinet.
Representative J. r. Mann of Illinois,
the republican floor leader, will be a
member of the next congress. Repre-
sentative Gillette of Massachusetts,
who has been an ardent defender of
the civil service, will probably be-
come Fitzgerald's successor as chair
man of the appropriations committee,
in case the republicans assume control.
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
who is recognized as one of the best
informed members of the House on
the tariff, will become chairman Of
the ways and means committee which
frames tariff bills, if the republicans
have the privilege of organizing the
committees.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT MILK
Certified Cows Milk and milk of
Human Kindness" Best Brands
Some Good Things to Know

There are many different kinds of
milk, but the best is Certified" cows
milk and the milk Of human kind
ness" Cows milk is a perfect food
for a cows baby but not for a human
baby. Just the same, there is no bet
ter food for human baby after it is
weaned, big or little, than pure cows
milk.
Clean milk is winning its fight slow
ly and dirty milk is losing out-be-
cause-clean people buy clean milk.
It is a good dairy that will score
70 per cent on the government score
card. The only milk that is better
than certified milk is the milk that
the sucking calf gets from its mother.
In scoring this mixer we are obliged
to give 100 per cent on method and
equipment.
Decency is an attribute that dis
tinguishes the human from the lower
animals. Cleanliness contributes most
to decency and stimulates an appetite
for food. Milk may be same because
It is boiled and at the same time may
be indecent because it is filthy. Pas
teurized milk is like a man that has
washed his face, and put on a boiled
shirt, and not taken real bath in his
whole life.
II we can't do as we would we must
do as we can. Pastcurized dirty milk
is better than dirty milk that is not
pasteurized. Pasteurization Of milk
is an acknowledgment of uncleanly
methods and if we must acknowledge
the corn, why, let us pasteurize the
milk.-Geo. H. Glover, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo

ment of the service of the department
of agriculture, he said that ''the whole
process has illustrated a very note
worthy and interesting fact, the stim-
ulation and development come from
outside the government rather than
from inside the departments" This
is one of the most serious objections
to government ownership. In the gov
eminent service there is no encourage
ment for individual effort This has
been especially true under the Wilson
administration. Men in the ranks in
the different departments see no in
centive to extra effort and no reward
for specially valuable service, for the
higher positions arc frequently filled
by men of no experience and with no
claim to recognition except the poll
teal service they have rendered in
the past.

Depended on Buncombe

We knew all the time that the demo-
Gratis depended on "buncombe" in this
campaign, and it finally simmered
down TO just that. The republicans
appeared to have the requisite num-
ber of congressman to organize the
next house, so the democratic county
officials recounted the votes in Bun

increased their candidates. vote

the past,

Because there is little prospect Of
reward for real merit in government
service, under the policies pursued by
an administration such as this, men
who are really ambitions 70 serve the
country effectively, soon lose their in
terest and fall into ruts. AS Presi-
dent Wilson admits, the development
and the stimulation come from outside
the departments. And so it will be
under government ownership of tele-
phone, telegraph and railroad systems
if the government ever commits itself
to the ownership and operation of
these utilities.

LAMAR 5s, SYRACUSE o
Lamar Savages Keep Up Their Win
ming Pace and Easily Defeat
Syracuse

Owing to the fact that number of
their very best men were transferred
to the Pacific coast last Wednesday
Fort Lyon cancelled the game adver-
tised here for Friday, but the SYRIA
cuse high school accepted the date and
were substituted for the Sailors.
There was Il big crowd out and they
enjoyed fine game even if the score
was one-sided. The Syracuse boys
were game to the last and went down
lighting all the time. They refused
to punt even when their position seem
ed hopeless and drove continuously at
the strong line of Lamar. They fire.
quently made gains, but could not
keep it up long enough successfully to
gain much ground, and the entire first
half and most of the second was play
ed on the Syracuse half of the field.
Owing to a breach of discipline two
Of the Lamar stars were out of the
game but Coach Koonsman proved
that he has his entire team so well
trained and playing such good football
that the loss of several good players
does not affect the machine at all,
and it moved along with the same
sureness and precision as it has all
this season. The boys started out a
little too swift and made four touch
downs and kicked three goals in the
first quarter, running up a score Of 27.
They Stacked up in the second quar-
ter and while they Kept the ball al
ways in Syracuse territory, yet they
only made one touchdown and the
score for the first half was SO to
in favor Of Lamar. The second half
opened with Lamar refreshed by tho
short rVst, and they started a new
kind of game. The first half was al
most all old fashioned line battering,
but in the second half the open play
was mixed with it to a large extent
and the boys proved that they could
handle the forward pass with great
precision, making many large gains
by its use. They made two touch
downs in each quarter and kicked
one goal SO the final score WIS 50 10
70. The Lamar boys twice tried for
field goals but neither was successful.
On next Saturday the Savages go to
Rocky Ford for the final game of the
league season, all the teams playing
on that date. If Lamar wins that
game the valley championship is
cinched and an attempt will then be
made to play whichever team wins
the northern championship. Owing TO
the late schedules it has been several
years since the different districts have
played off and settled the question of
the state championship, but strong
attempt will be made this year to Sc
cure the necessary games to decide
just who is the state champions. Ac-
cording to the published reports there
are now just two teams cast Of the
mountains that have not been defeated
the Lamar Savagcs and the Colo
RADIO Springs Terrors, and game be-
tween these two ought to decide the
state championship. The Terrors
though seem to be trying 70 dodge the
issue and sry to claim the title with

LIVESTOCK BREEDING
Success of Cooperative Effort Demon
strated by 1856 Community Asso-
Citations in Wisconsin

There are some sections Of the coyn-
try that have become noted for the
quality Of the live stock they produce
In most instances this is found to be
the result of concentrated effort. The
state of Wisconsin offers splendid
illustration of what can be accomplish
ed through community breeding asso-
Citations. Here are to be found 1856
breeding associations devoted to the
breeding of high class live stock. OF
this number, 10S are promoting cattle
of the different dairy breeds, 2, beef
cattle; 10, horses; 2, swine; and Ia,
general live stock. These associations
have met with marked success and
prove conclusively that community
live stock breeding is not an expert
ment when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted. Livingston coun-
ty, Michigan, and a considerable sec
tion of New York, particularly the re-
gion adjacent to Syracuse, are famous
for their dairy cattle. In Iowa prom
inence has been gained in swine rails
ing. The bluegrass region Of Ken
lucky, noted as the center Of American
saddle-horse breeding, affords a fur
ther example of the success resulting
from unity of effort and purpose.
There arc still other sections where
attention is being given TO the pro-
duction Of the different classes of live
stock. Each is noted as 4 breeding
center. and buyers who pay the high
est prices arc attracted from other
states and even foreign countries.
The organization of community or
cooperative livestock breeders asso-
citation requires the services of a
leader, as do all movements that have
for their object the improvement of
unsatisfactory conditions. The leader
in an enterprise of this kind should be
one of the successful breeders of the
community-aggrcssive as well as
progressive With such n man at the
head Of the movement, little trouble
should be experienced in interesting
others and securing their cooperation.
A preliminary organization should be
effected, committee appointed to
draft a constitution and bylaws, and
a definite breed selected which the
association is to promote.
The selection of breed is Of great
importance. If the best results are to

1t is reported in army circles that
strong recommendations will be made
in the forthcoming annual reports for
the abandonment of the army horse
and the substitution Of the motor
tractor for the hauling Of heavy artil-

maintenance will be much less, as
the motor requires little expense when
not in use. Moreover, it is asserted
that a tractor will turn heavy gun

necessary in handling heavy guns.
