It is quite apparent that the main
highways through the county will have
to be made more substantial than at
present to Withstand the enormous
amount of traffic which is now going
over them. And it will be heavier
each 7year. It would seem that the
$4,000 federal aid to be received by
the county next year could well be put
into graveling roads that are bearing
ing the brunt of this heavy traffic.
The gravel road seems to be about the
best outside Of the paved road, and
as it can be maintained for much less
money than the purely dirt road, it
would be much cheaper in the end, as
well as more serviceable.

In referring to our editorial on the
taxing of war profits the st. Peter
Free Press says the increased tax
should also be extended to abnormal
incomes not connected with war prof
its. Sure, that's reasonable. The
large dividend Garner in parting with
a large share of his profits would be
less affected than the taxpayer who
under present conditions is making
ends just meet or falling short of do
ing so. The house seems to be more
favorable to increased taxation on
these lines than the senate, and it
would seem that a schedule better
than that favored by the senate will
finally be settled upon.

not a resident OF Colorado at any period
of his life. He did not even do any .of
his hunting or fishing or fighting in Col
orado. He never requested to be buried
in Colorado, on Lookout Mountain or
any other mountain. His home was in
Wyoming, but the enterprising people of
Denver saw an opportunity to utilize
the last remains OF the old scout as n
tourist attraction and so they plant him
on top OF Lookout Mountain in Denver's
