Speed Ordinance viii Be Enforced

Mayor Strain is determined to make
the streets of Lamar reasonably safe
for pedestrians to navigate. He has
issued a proclamation that the ordi-
nance fixing a speed limit for autos
and motorcycles on the streets OF La
mar will be strictly enforced by the
police officers acting under his orders.
Reckless driving by tourists on our
streets has been responsible for i
number of recent accidents, and it is
well to let them know that it Will not
be permitted any longer. II the prac-
tice is then continued a few fines for
the guilty one will soon restore reason.
Twelve miles is the limit fixed by
ordinance for travel on our streets,
but you would never know it from
watching some Of the autos go by.

News Letter

Denver, Colo, May 29.-The rail
roads of Colorado have requested the
state public utilities commission for
permission TO make a blanket increase
of fifteen per cent applying to all
freight rates in the state, effective
July l. Except to allow the railroads
to file tariffs setting out the proposed
increases, the utilities commission has
as yet taken no action in the matter.
1t has expressed no views or opinions
as TO the reasonableness or prOpriety
of the proposed rate advance, which,
under the law and the rules of the
commission, is Subject to protest,
suspension, complaint, investigation,
and correction"
In event it becomes necessary to
lold hearings, shippers, the railroads
and all other parties interested will
be given full opportunity to be heard.
If it has not reached a determination
in the matter by July the date the
roads are asking that the increase
become effective-the commission can
suspend the proposed rates for fur
ther investigation.
The railroads claim that the fifteen
per cent increase is justified on ac-
count Of increased operating costs,
brought on by the effect of the Adam
son law, the war and other sources of
increased expenditure. The proposed
advance in intrastate rates is in line
with requests which the railroads Of
the country have made to the Inter
state Commerce Commission for per
mission to advance interstate rates
fiften per cent. Hearing into the pro
posed increase OF interstate rates is
now in progress before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washington.
Chairman George 7. Bradley is repre-
senting the Colorado public utilities
commission at these hearings. Re
gardless Of the decision Of the federal
commission in the matter Of the in
terstate rates, the Colorado commits
sion will pass upon the proposed in
creases in state rates strictly upon
their merits.

Prowers County Boys Are All Stand
ing the Test as Good Soldiers

The reports coming from the Fort
Riley, Kansas, training school are to
the effect that many Of the yourg
men who have volunteered are not
able to stand the test and work re-
quired Of them. Forty-two of the
Colorado boys alone have been sent
home as unable to meet the require
ments Of the severe tests required of
those who are to be officers of the
new army. However Of the more than
a dozen Prowers county young men
in training all have been able to meet
every test so far and it looks as if the
whole squad would stick. AS only a
very few Of the boys have ever had
any previous military training they
are certainly making fine record.

Railroads in Colorado which as yet
have failed TO bring all their grade
crossings up to the standard Of safety
established by the state public utili-
ties commission In an order issued a

el safer throughout the entire state.

cross state highways the grade Of
shall not exceed six per cent
and the roadway on either side Of the
track shall be at least twenty-four feet

tains for all other public highways,
except that the roadway leading to the
tracks may be sixtecn feet in width
instead Of the twenty-four feet re
quired in the cast Of state highways.

SALARY MEASURE
COMES UP IN HOUSE
Members Take First Considera
ton of Bill Providing Pay
for Employees.
STATE AIDS BRIDGE FUND

(From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Feb, l9.-(Special. APP
preparations for salaries were con-
sidered in the house today. Twpyears
ago the senate took the responsibility
for adding to the bill, the house hav-
ing used the pairing knife. 1t may be
so again this year
The total amount OF the bill as res
ported out for salaries was $SS0000
An amendment by Mr.. Oils plac-
ing the supreme court stenographers
on a salary basis OF 81 200 instead Of
1000 to conform with a bill increas-
ing their pay, which has >already
passed the house, was not voted on.
Chairman Rieschick of the finance
committee said that if the latter bill
should be passed by the senate the
item in the salary bill would be
changed when it goes to conference.
Statute Intervenes.
Mr.. Beal moved to raise the assist
ant adjutant generals pay from 81 200
to ST 800 a year, but on learning that
it is fixed by statute at the former
figure he gigged back. A similar
amendment by Mr.. Fries, boosting
the labor commissioner from $l,500
to $1,000, was ruel out for the same
reason. The house defeated motion
to raise the labor commissioner
stenographers from $3.50 to $1,000.
Three readers for examination
papers were provided for i'll the state
superintendent office, at $1,000 per
year each, instead of two at $500
each, this change being recommended
by the finance committee.
The committees recommendation
raising c. w. Spear, clerk in the rail
way commissions accounting depart
mcnt, from 5000 to $1,000 per year,
was also accepted.
Aid for the Blind.
One more bill was reported out for
the general file by the finance COM
mittee. 1t appropriates $4,000 as a
state fund for relief OF the blind The
house has already taken favorable
action on another bill authorizing
county boards to pay pensions OF not
more than $500 year to blind per-
sons needing aid.
State Bridge Fund.
The proceeds of the state aid bridge
levy, which is fixed by la wat one
fifth of a mill. are appropriated for
the statutory purpose during the next
biennium by the Cronin bill which
the house sent to third reading. Mr.
Cronin explained that two years ago
the legislature held down the appro-
priation to $l50,000, and the state
board cut the levy in two because
of that fact.

says well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach. liver,

breakfast each day glass of hot
water with teaspoonful of lime

is inexpensive and almost tastelcss,
except sourish twinge which is not

this constitution relative to the liza

ALLOW me to suggest that inas-

has to do as its title indicates, with
the subject of banking, and that it
extends by its terms the scope Of
the state banking laws, it would be
better, in my opinion, to pass the
act as an amendment to the existing
laws upon the subject of banking
than to pass it as an independent

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Second only in importance to the presidents stir ring address to congress yesterday, and even more potent as a market stimulant, was the report submitted to that body today by the interstate commerce commission bearing vitally upon the future of the railroads of the country.
 It is too early to forecast even to an approximate degree the effect of the commerce commissions recom- mendations. but the course of the stock market following the publica- tion of the report left no doubt of its immediate significance. The first in- timation of the proposed suspension of the Sherman law resulted in a re- bound in which prices were carried and in some cases almost , points above lowest levels.

GRAIN PRICES ADVANCE

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Corn advanced in price today owing more or less to persistent smallness of receipts, de spite announcements of a better sup ply of railway cars. The market closed firm. $ to 1c net higher. with January S121ss and May s1.191s to S1-19%.
 Oats gained 11s to 1%c, and pro- visions soc to s1.
 Aloough a slight tendency to sag was noticeable at the outset in the corn market, prospects of new price fixing legislation appeared to have lost force as an element Of depres- sion. Unfulfllment of hopes that ar rivals would materially increase led to a hardening of values, and there was a further display of bullish senti- ment after a rise in the oats market to fresh higher price records for the season. The scarcity of corn avail able for immediate delivery was em- phasized by an advance of to 10c being quoted for new crop supplies.
 Bulges in the price of oats resulted chiefly from the fact that stocks here were meager and receipts disappoint- ing.
 Buying attributed to packers hoist ed provisions to the maximum of the days limit. Offerings were scarce. Hog receipts compared unfavorably with last year.
