Now, let's take the man or woman
who is troubled with kidneys and a
weak, painful back and see what is
good for them Most every man or
woman SO troubled also complains
about poor appetite. Read what
this Richmond lady says about such
troubles and then let us analyze il:

crow ordinance of somewhat similar
nature that had drawn years before,
admitted it. However. when I had
time investigated the matter, found
that had not drawn the ordinance,
nor had anything to do with it; that
it was not during my time as city at
torney that the ordinance was drawn.
informed Mayor Stewart of this fact
and he also knows that B. P. Smith
and Mrs. Camilla Sanders have by
affidavit, verified my statement. and
can also refer to such men as DIR.
Harry A. Smith. James Zaninetti
Starr Nelson and the other members
of the council at that time to prove
that l was not paid for drawing it and
had nothing to do with it.
Third. So far as giving a jolt to
my dignity in these Moose club cases,
think that Mayor Stewart should
acknowledge that the jolt was on him.
as the cases were thrown out by the
county court on the ground of the ord
nance being worthless. The only Jolt
that l got was in common with other
taxpayers of the city in having to foot
the bills that are made by such fool
ish performances.
Fourth. What does Mayor Stewart
mean when he states that these ordin-
ances ''pinched' Mr.. Fairlamb? There
is sinister assertion in this state
ment that to person who does not
live in this town and know the facts.
amounts to a perversion of the truth.
Neither was "pinched" nor did these
ordinances pinch" me. nor did they
seriously affect any of my clients.
With the self-laudatory statements
contained in this article | am not con-
cerned. His administration is almost
a matter of past history.
I am willing to concede that
as president of the cemetery board
he has done his duty. and have heard
no complaints on that score. His
record as an official stands for what
they are worth but the gratuitous in
suits contained in his article are re
sented.

RECORD CONSIGNMENT OF RE-
FRIGERAToR CARS. THIS SECTION

Through the untiring efforts OF Mr.
Ernest s. Johnson, inspector for the
Public Utilities commission, coupled
with those of Mr.. Hall of Colorado
Springs. many refrigator cars have
been returned to Colorado. of which
the third division Of the Denver & Rio
Grande is receiving tisshare.
Within the past week ia refriger-
ators have come up this way which
will be loaded to capacity and billed
out at once. The consignments rang
ed from half dozen to thirty-two,
but wednesday of this week was the
record breaker, fifty-one cars coming
in. These are welcome indeed to the
anxious producer. and we trust the
good work of the commission and rail
road company will continue until the
last load of fruit and produce is on its
way.

FAIRLAMB REPLY TO MAYOR
w. II. STEWARDS LETTER

So many misstatements were made
in the article contributed to the Delta
Independent by Mayor Stewart that
think II best to answer them as some
of them are personal. There has
been so much disregard of the truth
in this article that think 1t exhibits
evidences of other workmanship than
that of Mayor Stewart. However, as
he has attached his name to this ar
ticle. the responsibility for the state
ments made is with him.
First Mr.. Stewart knows that ]
was paid nothing for making out the
Delta charter. He knows that both
myself and the twenty other citizens
of Delta who were elected-to prepare
this charter donated our services to
the people of our city
Second. Mr. Stewart also has no
sufficient reason to state that ] drew
the ordinance which the county court
held void in what are known as the
Moose club cases. This ordinance
was prepared by another who was
then city attorney. The records in
Mayor Stewards office win show that
! was not paid one cent for drawing
that ordinance, nor did ! have thing
to do with as can show by the affi-
davit OF B. p. Smith who was mavor
Mt the time and Of Mrs. Camilla San
ders. who was city clerk at the time.
and can also establish the same
thing by the persons who were mem
bers OF the council at the time this
ordinance was enacted. IT is true that
when the Moose case was first called
up for trial Mr.. Baird stated that
had prepared this ordinance. and
thinking had. without giving the mat
ter any investigation. confused the
ordinance in my mind with a scare.

out in a heart-rendering, sob-produc-
ing spasm entitled Gold Blooded
Business Matters" in which, among
other roseate features he paints pic
ture of the future possibilities for
the once thriving, but now somewhat
antiuuated city of his choice.
He SAYS: EITHER Montrose or
Grand Junction is to going to be the
metropolis of the Western Slope.
Montrose is at present the better

tions such that this must be the nat

do perhaps. all but the Nucla road
which was such a thorn in the side
of Montrose. the county commission
ers even refusing to endorse it as a
state highway to Delta. which would
Mt have cost them buck.
Further he rambles: "All goods
and all people must come this way
and the people seem 10 want to come
this way" All but the western part
of Montrose county who prefer this
part of the country.
"The people take to us very kindly"
One would infer that the people from
outside we're some sort of untamed
beast whose ferocious nature must
be handled with gloves on.

as Sol remains there and continues

us that the pickle they have up there

a bottle and a cork.

Washington, Aug. 81.-Will the

will be levied on incomes and cor
poration profits cripple American In
dustry and put q crimp In business!
This vitality every Ameri-
can. Slowing down production and
putting q damper on enterprise would
greatly hamper winning the war. n
that would be suicidal.

That is the doctrine many calamity
howlers are preaching to halt the

gress to tax incomes and war profits

some success with a certain type of
congressman, who likes to have his

We don't have to go very far to
find out. England has been doing
exactly whatNit now seems probable

three years. and we know what has

Evers ince the war began England
has been taxing individual incomes
over 100000 At ~ %1-2 per cent,
while the United States rates on such
incomes probably will be % 1-2 per
cent. II is true on incomes over
t$500,000 the American tax is higher
than the British. reaching 81 per cent
over $8,000,000i but there are only a
handful OF these enormous fortunes.

which the bulk OF the ven comes.
On these the British taxes have, been
about twice as heavy az the proposed
American taxes.
Similarly o war profits, the Brit
ish taxes. the first years were as high
as the probable rate here-50 per
