THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
An Able Discussion on 'What We Can
Do to Help Win the War;"

the best examples Of manhood, the
best fighters in the world, are day
by day taking that perilous voyage
over the ocean and going into the
front line trenches, and every day
the papers are now giving US lists of
killed and wounded. They certainly
are doing their part. What are we
doing? Aren't there good many men
in Gunnison county. Colorado, today,
that up to the present time have not
done one thing to help the war along
and the most that they have done
was to grumble little about meat
less and wheatless days and the high
cost of living? l don't mean to say
that we are not patriotic. Most of
these same men would go to the
front without murmur if they be-
lieved their country was at stake,
but they have not yet fully realized
what this war really means or that
their assistance is necessary. Colo
RADIO is doing her share. Our state
already has approximately $4,000 men
III tIo IialioIidl lOTCcS we nave SuD-
scribed over $41,OOO,OOO to Liberty
Loan Bonds and contributed nearly
S2,OO0,00O to the Red Cross and the
Y. M. C. A. Up to the present time
l say, however, that the Liberty
Bonds have largely been purchased
by the banks, corporations and
wealthy people. They will not be
able to subscribe so heavily to the
Third Liberty Loan which is now
upon us. The burden will rest this
time with the people in ordinary
circumstances. 1t takes millions of
dollars every day to carry on the war
and feed and clothe our soldiers. The
war can't be won without money
We must win, we will win. When
you think of it, how little it is for
the Government to ask, simply loan
your money to your country at a
good rate of interest. 1t will help
you and it will win the war.
We want Gunnison county to be
one of the banner counties of the !
state in subscribing to the Third I
Liberty Loan.
Prepare to buy bond.

OUR WAR. WE MUST WIN
(E. N. Nourse)

In the article published last week
on this same subject it was forcibly
shown that we are the richest nation
the world has ever known; that our
democracy, founded on equal rights
has been openly defied by the German
government; that the American peo-
pie stand ready to defend the prin-
ciples Of freedom upon which this
Government is founded; that war
must be our principal business until
we win and that it will require large
amounts of money subscribed by all
the people before we can win.
Today we want to show you first
that this is our war, next that we
must win and finally that we are
each going to do our part.
This is not now a war for the BEN
eft of the allies alone. 1t is not for
aggression, conquest or indemnity.
1t is not alone a war for the safety
of democracy in the world, but it is
war to make safe the principles of
a free government in America. The
German emperor has made the boast
that after greater Germany has DOM
mated all Europe that it will then
give its attention to the Western
Hemisphere. We are therefore now
fighting hand in hand with our allies,
not only for the preservation of
world democracy, but our democracy.
We must overwhelmingly defeat the
military power at Berlin lest later
on we will have to fight alone when
Germany picks the day. We know
military power is and has been for
a half century. Does "might make
right" because the emperor says so?
Can the German emperor give any
plausible excuse for the manner in
which the present war is and has
been waged? Is there any intrigue,
deceit, cruelty, barbarity or inhuman-
ity that has been overlooked? Has
the United States been shown any
preference by Germany in the treat
ment accorded her and her citizens
up to the present time? Have we
already forgotten the Lusitania and
other defenceless ships which were
sunk while we were yet neutral
nation, with their frightful toll of
human freight? Then what can we
expect if we don't win this war?
Surely the United States would not
then be pleasant place to live in.
But we are going to win the war.
All that ss necessary Is that tho
American people appreciate, the SER
ious situation that confronts them
and each do their part. Until re-
Gently good many of US have pro-
ceeded on the theory that the war
ought to be won but we will let
George" win it. Every day the fact
that we are at war comes home to
Us stronger than ever. Our boys,

Adopted by Treasurers and Assessors
at Gienwo0d

County Treasurer Palmer and
County Assessor Thomas returned a
few days ago from Glenwood Springs
where they attended meeting OF
the treasurers and assessors from
the several counties of the state.

taken at the meeting was the unani-
nous adoption of the following set
of resolutions:

urers of the congested conditions in
the offices of the County Treasurers
of the State during the month OF
February, owing to the provisions OF
the present Revenue Laws, and
Whereas:-In the majority Of the
Counties of the State, the heavy pay
ments of taxes in the month of Feb
ruary, are not needed at that period
of the year, and the funds derived
are not drawn upon to any appre-
ciable extent until about the month
of June, and
Whereas:-The extension of the
time of payment of Full Tax to
and including the last day of May
Without Penalty, would to grea'
extent obviate the congestion in sais
Treasurer's office in the said montl
of February, and
Whereas:-The payment OF tn
First Half of taxes would in an.
event, be sufficient for the ordinar.
needs of the various funds:
Therefore:-Be 1t Resolved, Tha
the Revenue Laws Of the State o
Colorado should be amended to per
init the payment of Full Tax, With
out Penalty, up to and including tn
31st day Of May in each year. Pen
alties to attach to full payment mad
after May 31st and to half payment
as under the present Revenue Act

bers of the next Legislature t
