Road Testing
Laboratory Giving
Practical Service

The road material project of the
Colorado Experiment Station is the
first project under the newly organ
lied engineering section. The scope
of the project is a board one. and
the results of the work will be of
great value to the people of the state.
The object of the project is four
fold:
1.-The assistance of the various
state. county and municipal officials
in the selection OF the best materials
for the construction of the roads un-
der their control.
2-The determination of the best
material or combination of materials
in any section of the state through
the construction and maintenance of
short stretches of experimental roads
3-The publication, from time to
time. of bulletins. showing the results
OF the wok-
4-The publication of a final report
showing the location and quality of
the various deposits of road materials
in the state, and. where possible. the
atohaAH iiit use VI AItrr
materials.
The first phase OF the poject is al
eady being carried out. as the FOL
lowing instance VIII show: A caii
came from a member of the State
Highway Commission that a quarry
be located in his district where suit
able surfacing material might be OBJ
tained. a survey of the available ma
terials was made. samples were taken
and tested and report sent 10 the
commissioner.
The laboratory will be greatly aided
in its work If persons knowing of de-
posits Of material which they think
might be used for road work. will
communicate with them, and arrange
for taking of samples. o Adams.

Taxes are always heavy-to the man
who has to pay them-but taxes in
some communities are much higher
than in others. If you have ever
stopped TO investigate the matter you
have discovered that the lowest taxes
are found in the most prosperous com
munities- And there's reason
The prosperous community has the
lowest taxes because there is a large
amount of wealth in the community
against which the taxes may be as
sessed. There are prosperous mer-
chants with large stocks of goods up
on which taxes are levied. Property
values are high and there are thriving
industries which pay a large proper
ton of the taxes.
The higher the property values and
the greater the wealth of the commu-
nifty the lower are the tax levies. for a
lower tax on each hundred dollars of
valuation is required to produce the
necessary revenue for the administra-
ton of the city and county govern
ments.
Other Taxes Are Raised.
On the other hand, take a dead town.
Property values are low. Merchants
stocks are small and they have little
money in the bank. Industries which
ordinarily pay large part Of the taxes
of community have closed down.
There are vacant store buildings which
were formerly filed with stocks of
merchandise upon which the owners
paid heavy taxes. Who pays the taxes
that were once paid by the mechants,
the manufacturers, the bankers and
the men who had large holdings of
high-priced property, The taxes TO
conduct the city and county govern
ments. TO maintain the schools, TO build
and repair the roads must be collect
ed from someone. Who pays them
The man who owns his little home OF
the vacant lot or two upon which he
has been planning TO build his home
must pay double or triple the amount
which he paid In the times when the
town was prosperous. TO make up for
the taxes which are not paid now by
the merchants, the bankers. the manu-
facturers and the big property owners
who bore the heaviest burdens of tax.
ntl0 StOd-
The farmers in the country sur
rounding the town are also among the
heaviest sufferers from the ebbing of
the towns prosperity. A certain
amount OF money must be raised by
taxation TO provide for the expenses
of the county. Roads must be built
and kept In repair. Bridges must be
built and maintained. Salaries of
county officers must be paid. County
institutions for the care of the sick
and the poor must be maintained In
counties which contain one or NOR,
thriving towns, a large proportion OF
the taxes for the county are paid by
the towns. The greater the wealth
OF the towns and the higher the prop
| erfy valuations, the lower the tax levy
for the entire county. When the tax
levy is low the burden placed upon the
| farmer is light.
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1919-10-23
Burden Falls on Farmer.

When the county contains no pros
porous and wealthy towns. the greater
part OF the burden of taxation for the
county falls upon the farmer. The
value OF the farmers property does not
fall in proportion 10 the value of the
property in the town and the higher
tax levy that results from the lower
property values in the towns makes
his taxes higher.
The farmer forgets ut times that he
is vitality interested in the prosperity
OF his town" He thinks that il is up
10 the town 10 take care of itself and
that il is up TO him TO take care of
himself and he overlooks that fact that
the prosperity Of the town means as
much to him as IL does TO those who
live in it. The farmer who is inclined
10 overlook this fact has only TO think
OF the matter of taxes and he is likely
TO change his point of view for taxes
are one thing that neither he nor any
one else can escape. and they are one
thing in which the farmer ordinarily
takes very lively interest.
How Farmer Can Help.
There is just one way in which the
farmer can best promote prosperity in
the town near which he lives and that
is by spending his money m that town
instead Of sending il away to the far
distant city. Every time the farmer
sends an order TO a mail order house
he helps TO destroy the prosperity OF
his own community and TO boost his
own taxes. When he sends - dollar
away from home he gets none of II
back. When he spends dollar AT
home. part OF that dollar comes back
10 him in soIGc way.

VSCOUNT CRAY IS
 NOT ENTIRELY BLIND
 BUT IS NEARLY so

LONDON, April 16.-The widely published report that Viscount Grey, who was Foreign Minister in MT. Asquith's Cabinet, and whose speech es in the House of Commons in 1914 were a powerful influence in making up the mind of the British public for war, had become totally blind was exaggerated.
 Writing to a friend who had sent his condolences, Lord Grey replied: q lost the power of reading some months ago, and dry-fly fishing be- came impossible last year as I could no longer see the rises. Salmon fishing, I hope, will still be possible. am glad to see the great progress made at Paris with the project of a League of Nations"
 Lord Grey made his last public ut terance a few months ago when he delivered an address in London in support of a League of Nations.

UNITED STATES PLANE IS CONTROLLED BY
 AUTOMATIC DEVICE
Makes 1OO-Mile Trip Under Auto matic Control From the Land, According to Secretary
 Baker,

FORT WORTH, Tex, March 24. Under the automatic control an aeroplane capable of carrying heavy load and operated without a human guide has made a trip of 100 miles and landed within short distance of the point it set out to reach, Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, disclosed in an address here.
 The device which made such flight possible, and which has been kept secret, Baker said is an auto matic guide for aeroplanes, and was invented in America It is designed as an instrument of war and the secretary referred to it in describ- ing to his audience the possible horrors of future wars if there is to be no League of Nations.
 When the armistice was signed the invention had been so nearly perfected that in actual test an air ship without an occupant was suc- cessefully sent on a trip of over 100 miles, he said. An airplane went out under control of a pilot without making a landing, return ing to it's point of origin after To- eating the distinct objective for the test Then was sent out under au tomatic control another airplane to land at a designated point, and it effected the landing so close to .he point that had it been a shell it would have been considered a good shot.
 Secretary Baker did not explain the exact nature of the fnventfoa, but he made 1t clear that the War Department considers 1t one of the most wonderful pieces of mechan- ism for wars destructive purposes.
 Such device, the secretary said, | will never be necessary to use Ill | war if the League of Nations is formed, flor the league will save the world from a repetition of the horrible catastrophe through which | it has just passed"

 OF ALASKAN

Franklin K. Lane was greatly moved when informed of the death. He said his loss is "a serious blow to Alas ka." He added: MT Sulzer's Tn telligent understanding and his Tn dustry and facility to make friends have aided greatly in the task Of en' Tightening the country on the needs of that great Territory.
 Curry Adds His Praise
 Representative Charles F. Curry Chairman of the Commitee on Ter ritories in the new Congress, said nothing had affected him as much in a long time as the news of the death of MT. Sulzer. He said:
 T had learned to have great re- spect for his ability, his uniform fairness and encyclopedia knowledge of Alaska. Mr Sulzer was one Of the best types of moral forces of the country, and an honest worker for the good of Alaska. His Territory and the Nation suffers"

jamie and Mary Sharon both thought
they were the effect of Lucy's having

color, himself, as he rose and nodded
indifserently; and the hot suffusiOn to
which he became subject extended its

Major stared at his grandson, aghast
But Eugene began to laugh cheerfully.
"I'm not sure he's wrong about au-
tomobiles" he said. with all their
speed forward they may be step
backward in civillzation-that is, in
spiritual civilization. But automobiles
have come, and they bring a greater
change in our life than most Of us
suspect. They are going to alter war;
and they are going to alter peace l
think mems minds are going to be
changed in subtle ways because of au-
tomobiles; just how, though, l could
hardly guess. Perhaps, ten or twenty
years from now, If we can see the in
ward change in men by that time, l
shouldn't be able to defend the gaso-
line engine, but would have to agree
with him that automobiles had no
business to be invented" He laughed
good-naturedly and, looking at his
watch, apologized for having an en-
gagement which made his departure
necessary when he would much prefer
to linger, and left them at the table.

George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in num-
bers and gayety by the absence of
George Anderson. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit a school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear

Minafer in quite a flutter "Why

nephew, GLOW does it happen you

Of some conspiracy, she exclaimed tC

George made no reply, but he was
red enough to justify the Majors de

nephew keenly, got an impression tina
his fiery blush was in truth more fer!
