FORKUHIOPARTY

Following a hot fight on the floor,
in which Representative Miles, Oahu,
and Representative Lyman, Hawaii,
led the fight for the opposition, senate
bill 2. providing for an appropriation
of $4,000 for the expenses of the
visit of a Congressional party to Ha-
wall, passed third reading In the
house this morning by vote Of "a
to 4. Those who voted against it were
Kupihea, Miles, Mossman and Jeryes.
One after another Miles amend
ments were slaughtered. He first
moved to amend so as to strike out
any reference TO "other distinguished
visitors" Representative Andrews
made an eloquent speech in favor or
the distinguished visitors" declaring
that the delegate can be trusted to Sc
lect the right persons. He said the
attorney-general might be one OF these
visitors, and that he thought 1t would
be fine to have him, or any other cab
met officers, come here. This amend
ment was promptly tabled.
Miles then moved to reduce the ap-
preparation from $4,000 to $4,000.
This also went by the board. Repre-
sentative Cooke moved to delete the
provision July 81" and make Septem-
Der 80 the date up to which the appro-
priation is available. This amendment
was carried. Il was in accordance
with suggestions by Delegate Kuhio
in cablegram to Speaker H. L. Hol-
stein Friday.
Representative Lyman sought to cut
the appropriation down to $4,000, say
ing he did not believe the territory
could afford $4,000. The amendment
was tabled. He then moved to delete
the provision, September 80" and
make the money available for the BIZ
ennial period. This also was tabled.
The final vote saw the passage OF
the bill on third reading.

Use CoIorado Food First

To eliminate cross-hauling as a re-
lief for the railroad situation, the Col
orado Council of Defense is going to
use all the means at its command in
movement which should also prove
an impetus to home industries.
"Give the preference to Colorado
food products. Colorado should con-
sumo all it's own foods that it needs
and not import similar products from
other states, shipping some of its
food out and then shipping other food
in. There's no need of it, and it's
tremendous drain on the railroads"
says H. U. Nudge, chairman of the
transportation committee Of the coun-
ell.
That is cross-hauling. Chairman
Nudge Investigated and found that
apples from Oregon and Washington
are being sold in the stores of Denver
when Colorado apples should be sold.
Colorado's production of apples is far
greater than its consumption. Colo
RADIO citizens should cat Colorado ap-
pies, and the railroads should not
have to use freight cars to import
apples from Oregon and Washington
into the state. It's the same situation
with Colorado pinto beans. Most res
taurants and hotels sell the navy
beans that are imported. The pinto
bean, it has been proved scientifically
and by use, equals in food volue the
white or navy baan. The only differ
ence is in the color.
So it is with many other staple food
products. And the transportation COM
mittee, under instructions of the coun-
ell, is going to prepare all the data 1t
can on such products as are cross
hauled for presentation TO the nation
al food administration. 1t is going to
ask the food administration to exert
its power to prevent cross-hauliHg so
far as Colorado products are concern
cd.
To help the council, TO rclisvc the
transportation situetion, and to pro
mote home industry, Colorado ci.i-
zens should demand Colorado foods
first. It is a patriotic action.
Cross-hauling is prevalent through
out the nation, ard Colorado is the
first state to begin to eliminate it.

Troops Do Colorado Honor

Proud of Colorado's soldiers at Camp

dition of the states federalized guards

a source of qualification to every cit
izen Of the commonwealth.
The grand review of 10000 men was
led by Colorado's own First Infantry
men, under command of Col. Patrick
j. Hamrock, and next in line came the
unmounted First Cavalry regiment,
with Col. Harry D. Smith at their
head. Thus Colorado soldiers were the
leaders in the review, in the course of
which the former Second Infantry
regiment, commanded by Col. Jesse D.
Northcutt, brought additional honors
to the state.
